Tiger Woods’ 1996 U.S. Amateur Championship Win
Steve Scott could have beaten Tiger 3&2 in the final of the 1996 U.S. Amateur—instead, he did the right thing
Who is Your Favorite Player of All Time?
Tiger or Jack? Bryson or Brooks? If you’re a fan of the game, there’s no doubt you have a player that stands above the rest as your all-time favorite.
Who are the Best Golfers of All Time?
Ah, the oft-debated question: Is it possible to compare great golfers from different eras? Typically, the answer is no; all that can be said is that a given titan was the best of his/her generation. But heck, that’s no fun, and doesn’t stimulate any dissension or discussion. So, we’ve taken the bold and brazen path […]
Is Tiger Woods a Mechanic or Magician?
As Tiger takes six months off and ponders his future, it seems the key question he needs to answer is this: Am I a mechanic or a magician?

Comparing Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods Courses

Taking his name out of Ryder Cup consideration was the smart—and right—thing to do
What’s Ahead for Tiger Woods?
Tiger Woods has won, some would say, enough—61 times on the PGA Tour, and each of the four majors more than once, a feat only Jack Nicklaus has equaled. He took some of those majors by record margins: by 12 strokes at the 1997 Masters 10 years ago, opening the Tiger Epoch with a roar; by 15 at the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, breaking a mark set by Old Tom Morris in the 1862 British Open. Seeing Tiger lap the field is sweet; but also sweet, for his enormous couch-potato gallery, are his eked-out victories, as in the 1999 PGA Championship at Medinah or the 2006 British Open at Royal Liverpool.
I fondly remember, from a few years back, a Sunday round in some tournament, maybe the Bay Hill Invitational, where, on an hour’s sleep and with a stomach bug that kept sending him into the bushes, he managed to win.
