2010-06-04 Game Time: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 - Zap2itThe game of golf is often known for its singular achievements, but in an age of online interactivity and hardware that can host a group of players at once, EA Sports has decided to think outside the box and make the activity more group-based.

2010-03-17 Michael Wilbon - Tiger Woodss Masters plan is good for golf, but is it best for himProfessional golf has been on life support all season. Its in more trouble now than pro basketball was when Jordan retired from the NBA. Tiger, and this isnt debatable, is bigger than the game. Or at least he was. Time will tell whether he can summon that again. But hell be bigger than the game when they tee it up at Augusta. Just look at the numbers. Im not talking about the 20 million or whatever number it winds up being who will watch the Masters out of tabloid curiosity. Im talking about the addicts like me, the week-in, week-out fanatics whom Tour ratings depend upon. Golf grew dangerously dependent on the talent, personality, marketing and, ultimately, the remarkably clutch championship performance of Tiger Woods -- and now the game is stuck. That Tiger Woods is returning to golf is great news, Michael Wilbon writes. That hes returning at Augusta is odd. - Tiger woods masters tiger woods masters comeback tiger woods return michael wilbon masters golf tournament 2010 tiger woods golf master tiger masters

2010-05-22 Bob Cesca: Floyd Landis Is Positively LyingTheres no reason why Floyd couldnt have confessed without pointing fingers at other riders. He should have confessed four years ago. If he had, he might be back in Europe competing with the top athletes in the field. Hell, Alexander Vinokourov was booted from the Tour in 2007 for doping and today hes a contender in the Giro dItalia with his old team. He still denies he was doping, but he didnt go nearly as ballistic as Landis has for the better part of four years. On the opposite end of the spectrum is David Millar who was caught, confessed, served his suspension, regrets his EPO usage and now rides, and wins, for a clean pro tour team. Many cycling fans probably wouldve accepted a respectable confession and apology from Landis, even after all these years. But his sour grapes flailing -- this baseless attack on other riders Floyd has inexplicably decided to put his utter absence of veracity up against the classiest, most popular riders in the world today. Good luck with that, Floyd. - Floyd landis is positively lying sports

I was honored to have the responsibility to do that.

2010-06-29 Can Cristie Kerr Be the Breakout Star of the LPGA Tour - Waggle RoomMany Asian-born players are perceived to struggle with the language barrier, connecting with fans and sponsors, and connecting with the culture. While that has been greatly overblown, it has even led the LPGA Tour in the past to consider expanding existing programs to encourage and speed up the assimilation of Asian players onto the American tour. That was the work of a prior administration, and current LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan has repeatedly spoken about this organization being a global tour based in the United States. Is it plausible that Cristie Kerr could become the American face that the LPGA Tour needs to grow here in the States
2010-05-05 Gratis golf game is pretty good - The Globe and MailGratis golf game is pretty good N the subject of the pro shop, there are plenty of performance-enhancing clubs, balls, clothes and other items available for players to purchase, but none of them seem particularly powerful. That means, for better or worse, you can and rsquo;t spend your way to top-notch touring star status. Plus, these items and rsquo; effects typically last a set number of rounds, which, in my eyes, makes them a serious luxury that I - and I think most players - wouldn and rsquo;t consider. I and rsquo;m sure EA hoped to make more money by forcing players to purchase new items regularly, but Id be surprised if many people bought into their proposition. At least it helps keep players on an even level.
