When does domination from one person become a work of art? I think we need to start asking Mr. Woods that question
The final major championship of the year may have come and gone, but that doesn’t mean Hittin’ the Links is going to go into hibernation! Check out this week’s links and relive one of the greatest shots in Masters History.
Players believe they finally have a shot at taking down the greatest player to ever play the game when he is tied for the lead. What exactly would it take for that to happen?
Tiger Woods is nearly unbeatable when he is tied for the lead on Sunday at a major championship. However, after watching yesterday’s round, I think there three things that could allow us to witness one of the most incredible David versus Goliath upsets in golf history. If one of the players follows the criteria below, they might be the one holding the Wanamaker trophy today instead of Woods.
Tiger Woods stood with CBS reporter Bill McAtee after Saturday’s round and let the world know just what kind of major championship was playing out before those in attendance and on the course.
“It honestly doesn’t feel like a major,” Woods said. “I mean in a major you expect that you’re going to look for a lot of pars and hope to sprinkle in a couple of birdies when you can, but you just can’t do that and hope to contend this week at week at Medinah with that mindset. I saw all the low scores early on, and some guys were three or four-under-par through six holes – when that kept happening I knew I had to go low.”
The final major championship of the year returns to Medinah Country Club with a longer layout and deeper rough. Can Woods hoist the Wanamaker Trophy again, or will the 7,500-yard layout bring Tiger to his knees?
The chance of Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia pulling off another 1999 finish at Medinah is improbable; however, that doesn’t mean Phil can’t take over Sergio’s role and turn the 2006 PGA Championship into one of the best majors in golf history. As always, the TST staff is hard at work getting ready for Thursday with our major championship predictions and pairings.
The PGA may be the last major of the year, but I think we all know deep down that we’re going to be glued to our chairs come Sunday afternoon for another down-to-the-wire finish.
How the heck does Tiger use a baseball swing to hit the golf ball that far?
Hittin’ the Links is back again this week with another round of point and click golf. I know that you’re probably chomping at the bit for the PGA Championship to get here, but for now, sit back, relax, and get your weekly dose of links!
The pros play the only tournament where +33 could secure the victory. You gotta love that Modified Stableford point system!
The beauty of the Colorado Rocky Mountains is beckoning this week, as the PGA Tour makes a quick stop in Castle Rock, Colorado for the International before heading to Chicago for the PGA Championship. Even with Tiger sitting out this week, there is still a lot of anticipation in the air, as Phil Mickelson makes his return to the tour after taking two weeks off to rest following the British Open at Royal Liverpool.
What Will Natalie Gulbis Do Next?
From flying golf balls to moving mini-tours, this week’s edition of Hittin’ the Links has it all. If Tiger Woods can get to 50 wins, then by gosh The Sand Trap can get to the 70th volume of Hittin’ the Links!
Enjoy the links from the comfort of your own cubicle.
Tiger Woods becomes the youngest player in golf history to win 50 times on the PGA Tour.
Tiger Woods is a freak of nature. Sunday marked Woods’ 50th win on the PGA Tour. In winning the Buick Open, Tiger became the youngest player to 50 wins, breaking the old mark set by Jack Nicklaus by nearly three years. What a ride it’s been watching Tiger Woods for the past decade.
Can Michelle Wie finally get over the hump and win an LPGA major championship, or will another relative unknown come out of the shadows to steal the tournament?
Only on the LPGA Tour could a major championship be sponsored by a cereal company. Weetabix, the English food company, hosts the final major championship of the year, the Women’s British Open at Royal Lytham and St. Annes Golf Club in Lancashire, England. Here’s hoping the final major of the year has as much snap, crackle, and pop as last month’s U.S. Women’s Open.

Thursday can’t get here soon enough. After watching the B.C. Open, John Deere Classic, and U.S. Bank Championship three of the last four weeks, the tour finally returns the big boys to their rightful place at the Buick Open.
For most players in this week’s field, the Buick Open at Warwick Hills Country Club will stand as last tune-up before the final major of the season, the PGA Championship. Winning the tournament, however, won’t come easy this week, as Tiger Woods returns for his first tournament since his British Open victory at Royal Liverpool.
