Breaking News: PGA Tour Steals Discarded LPGA Tour Sponsor
The PGA Tour literally just sent out a press release saying that Seoul Broadcasting System has agreed to a new 10 year deal to sponsor the season-opening event in Hawaii. PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem and Sang Chun, President, SBS International, a division of Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS),...
Woods May Be Initiating Changes to Pebble Beach Event
California man Geoff Shackelford has been following the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am particularly closely this year. I think it started when Tim Finchem was announced a player in the field of the pro-am, then his tee times myesteriously were changed so that he and his partner wouldn't appear on...
Geoff Ogilvy, Welcome to the World of Outrageous Expectations
Geoff Ogilvy won the Mercedes Benz Championship by six strokes. It was his third win in 12 months, all in events of significance for one reason or another.

What to Do With Kapalua?

Ogilvy: "After Florida, you probably play the same golf course 120 times in a row."
Following Geoff Ogilvy's opening round of 6-under 67 at Kapalua, the first round leader talked with the media about his successes. Interesting, too, was the comparison that he made between the setup at Kapalua and what he will experience next week at the Sony Open. I stringed together his answer...
The Future of the Hawaii Swing is Uncertain
Paul Arnett has been covering this story well for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. Robert Collias adds in an interview with NBC and Golf Channel analyst - and Hawaii citizen - Mark Rolfing about the PGA Tour's wavering commitment to Kapalua beyond 2010. ''It doesn't mean we will do anything...
