Now that’s what we call exciting!
Well at least for the other golfers. Now that the great Tiger Woods Decides to get surgery on his ailing left knee, the rest of the PGA Tour can now sit back and tell themselves “finally the playing field is even”.
Let’s just say that would be just the tip of [...]

Take Zach Johnson (14-1), 1/6 unit in the outright: Illinois is as close to Iowa as Johnson is going to get this year on Tour, geographically. The PGA Championship is in Oklahoma, which is two states away from Illinois by stretch, but the Memorial in Ohio was closer in terms of mileage. Point is [...]

The 2007 Buick Open will be missing Tiger Woods this year as the world’s top golfer is taking the week off to be with his wife and new daughter. If you think that because Woods is not entered in the event that there would be no big favorite you would be wrong. Jim Furyk is actually quite a big favorite to win the Buick Open this week. He is listed at 4-1 at SBG Global and while that is not quite the 2-1 that would have been the case on Woods, it is not far off.
Warwick Hills Golf & Country Club in Grand Blanc, Michigan hosts the Buick Open this week. It is a relatively short course, 7,127 yards, par 72 which has large flat greens which means birdies will be fast and furious.
Warwick Hills was the ninth easiest course on the PGA Tour last year [...]
Take Charles Howell III (40-1), 1/6 unit: Where have you gone Thurston Howell the Third? After a huge start—five top-10s including a win in his first seven tournaments of 2007—he’s finished inside the top-25 once, missed two cuts and withdrew from the Memorial. He’s still in the top-5 in FedEx Cup. He finished T51 at the U.S. Open, took last week off, and should be ready to go. He’s only played the Buick Open once, back in 2003, and he finished T38 [...]
Ryder Cup Prediction: Despite the so-called weaknesses in their team, America will run Europe very, very close and while you shouldn’t be surprised if Tom Lehman is smiling from ear-to-ear on Sunday evening, Europe should have just enough to retain the trophy.
This Ryder Cup, despite the pomp and circumstance, actually has some story lines:
The biennial [...]

Take Campbell (40-1), 1 unit: He’s long enough off the tee, averaging 293 (this is a 7,500-yard layout), but the name of the game for Campbell is hitting greens. [...]
