I wish real life had TiVo so I could fast forward to Friday and get the Ryder Cup underway!
We’re only days away from the Ryder Cup and I swear every passing minute is that much longer than the last!
To tide you over until the Friday start, we have some great links that look back on the Ryder Cup past, a wide assortment of analysis and course diagrams for the upcoming matches, as well as another PGA Tour veteran getting his second win this season.
Enjoy the links!
Michelle Wie has been making some pretty bold comments lately. Does she finally find a way to backup those remarks by making a PGA Tour cut?
Jason Gore might be the defending champion this week at the 84 Lumber Classic, but he is about to take a backseat to a 16-year-old girl as Michelle Wie takes on one of the longest PGA Tour courses this season. With all the talk she’s had recently about playing in the Ryder Cup in the future, she might want to think about making a PGA cut first.
Who would’ve ever thought that Annika Sorenstam and a two-shot lead with eight holes to play on Sunday would equal a loss? Not me, that’s for sure.
Annika Sorenstam is human, Jim Furyk finally puts that consistency to use by winning a golf tournament, an LPGA pioneer passes away at the age of 88, and Michelle Wie opens her big mouth once again.
The golf world is never short of dramatic stories on a weekly basis!
I’d like to welcome a new name to the PGA winner’s circle! It’s about dang time someone besides Tiger Woods got some press in the newspaper.
No, Tiger Woods isn’t playing this week… meaning that we get to see another guy hoist a trophy on Tour this year. However, there is still a good chance Tiger shows up on Sunday in the final group and comes back from a 20-shot deficit to win again. Hey, it could happen!
Make up your mind Tiger. Do you want to win in a playoff, or do you want to win while coming back from a three-shot deficit?
Tiger Woods wins another golf tournament, Thomas Bjorn lashes out at European Ryder Cup captain Ian Woosnam for not picking him, and Annika Sorenstam fires a final-round 62 to capture another LPGA event.
I swear professional golf never gets old or boring!
People keep saying that Tiger Woods run of six straight wins during the 1999-2000 season was one of the greatest stretches in golf history. If that’s the case, then where does this winning streak rank?
You’d think Tiger Woods would be tired this week after playing five tournaments in a little over a month. However, the golfing phenom seems to be thriving off the competition and pressure. After winning his fourth tournament start in a row, Woods hopes to continue the dominance and winning streak at the TPC of Boston.
Tiger leads us to Jack, which leads us to Valhalla and the U.S. Amateur. Plus Deutsche Bank, Two Holes-in-One, and those pesky Europeans.
Another week, another Tiger Woods win. I feel like the guy in the movie Groundhog Day. I wake to see Tiger Woods in the lead, and then I sit in front of the television on Sunday and watch him win.
When will the madness ever end?
Can Tiger make it four straight tour starts with a victory, while at the same time, capture his fifth Bridgestone Invitational? My money says, yes.
Tiger Woods heads-up the field at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio in search of his fifth title at the famed course. Other than being on track for his fifth NEC Invitational, Woods is also trying to win his fourth straight start since the streak started at the British Open last month.
Last Year
Tiger Woods again showed why he likes the state of Ohio so much, as he drained a birdie putt on the 16th hole to grab a one-stroke lead over Chris DiMarco that would eventually hold up for his fourth title at Firestone Country Club.

Who will Tom Lehman choose to finish out the Ryder Cup team? It’s not as easy a pick as you might think.
Ryder Cup captain Tom Lehman is holding a live press conference today to announce the final two captain’s for September’s team. We’re going to be live blogging all the way up through the press conference.
10:52 – Lehman: “I obviously hurt for the guys who didn’t get pick, but I feel tremendously confident with this squad.”
10:50 – Lehman: “Brett Wetterich makes a ton of birdies. He’s long and he’s strong [ed: “he’s about to get his freak shit on?”]. JJ Henry drives the ball straight. He’s way underrated. Zach Johnson, another solid ball striker and a great putter. He’s got everything you need. He’s not lacking. Vaughn Taylor – I’m not sure you can rate how much a guy hates to lose. But Vaughn really hates to lose.”
