A Photoessay: In No Way is The Presidents Cup A Complete Sideshow
That's a photo of Michael Jordan and Bill Clinton from the Presidents Cup that is on the PGA Tour's Facebook page. I could not help but think of this exchange in golf.com's PGA Tour Confidential when I saw the photo. Gorant: Michael Jordan as an assistant captain also made an impression. It was...
Why Did Tiger and Phil Play So Well This Weekend?
Earlier today, I gave a decent amount of credit to the friendship and relationships that were seemingly fostered by the Paul Azinger led 2008 Ryder Cup team. The Myers-Briggs inspired concept led to some teamwork that had been kind of neglected by the rugged American individuals in the past few...
The Decider: Gimme Your Pres Cup MVPs
The American Presidents Cup team had three real major all stars this weekend. First was Tiger Woods, who went undefeated in the matches and earned five points for the Americans - the first time he had done that in his career. He punctuated the week with a 6 & 5 pantsing of YE Yang on...
The Legacy of Paul Azinger on Display at Harding Park

The ole podcast has on a bit of a hiatus, but we have a great show for you this week, featuring Tiger's swing coach Hank Haney! We start the show by talking about the vote for Olympic golf and the potential end of the Race to Dubai. Tiger's swing coach Hank Haney joins me to talk Pres Cup, v...
Mickelson Leaning to Playing in Presidents Cup
There has been some chatter about the uncertain status of Phil Mickelson for the Presidents Cup in a few weeks at Harding Park. Provided the breast cancer treatment that both his wife and mother are undergoing, even Captain Fred Couples was not totally certain that Mickelson would participate. It...
You Gotta Be Freakin' Kidding Me, Norman. Adam Scott?!
The Presidents Cup captains, Greg Norman and Fred Couples, announced their Captain's Picks for the competition set for four weeks from now at Harding Park in San Francisco. (Really, it's South San Francisco. And the place is literally right next to Olympic Club.) Fred Couples chose the two guys...
