Phil Mickelson paid an unlikely tribute to absent rival Tiger Woods during the Deutsche Bank Championship in Norton, Massachusetts, thanking the injured world number one for the state of golf and the state of Mickelson’s bank account.

In previous years, the United States Ryder Cup team would have been announced by now.
The tradition is that the 10 players who had garnered the most Ryder Cup points plus the two captain’s picks would have already been decided by the end of the PGA Championship, which finished two weeks ago.
However, US captain Paul Azinger […]
Tiger Woods has congratulated Padraig Harrington for his PGA Championship victory, while at the same time expressing frustration that he wasn’t there to battle it out with the Irishman.

Two names were being bandied about on the eve of the 90th PGA Championship at Oakland Hills, those of Anthony Kim and Lee Westwood.

Kenny Perry won for the third time in five starts as he emerged from a three-way play-off to lift the John Deere Classic title in Silvis, Illinois.

In his first live interview since undergoing surgery on his knee, the world number one and US Open champion has […]
I’m not a sports psychologist. So, I suppose, my opinion on this isn’t worth a damn. But here goes.
I would argue that Tiger’s enforced absence (the rehabilitation of the knee has begun – could the superman of world sport return quicker than we expected?) represents an opportunity for the rest of the field. An opportunity […]
Tiger Woods is recovering from his second knee operation in 10 weeks, having gone under the knife to repair torn ligaments.

This means he will miss the final two majors of the year, the British Open at Royal […]
At times during Monday’s US Open play-off between world number one Tiger Woods and veteran Rocco Mediate, it was difficult to determine who was mentally bullying whom.

“I’ll never be as good as Tiger Woods. I don’t want to be as good as Tiger Woods.” These are the words of Rocco Mediate, several years ago, when Woods was enjoying one of the best periods of his career.
