Ryo Ishikawa: The Second Billion Dollar Golfer?
The impact that Tiger Woods has had on the sport of golf at large often goes overstated. His largest and most enduring impact on the sport really is in the amount of money that is involved in the game. Though the PGA Tour's purses would have continued to climb exponentially without Woods, he...
The Day Golf Youth Took the Torch for the Next Generation
The story in the golf world on Friday was that Tiger Woods missed the cut at Quail Hollow, but that Phil Mickelson was in contention to win his second consecutive tournament. If Mickelson had been successful this weekend, he would have an opportunity with a third straight PGA Tour win at the...
Best Final Round. Ever! Ishikawa Fires 58 to Win for 7th Time in Japan
At times, it is difficult to maintain some perspective about Ryo Ishikawa. Just 18 years old and barely a graduate of high school, Ishikawa is a total rockstar in Japan. He won the Japan Pro Golf Tour's money title last year and, until today, had six career professional wins. On Sunday, Ishikawa...
Shut Down the Innisbrook Media Center: Ishikawa +12 in Round One
What can you say when a guy shoots +12 on the PGA Tour other than, "Well, at least you know what you won't be doing this weekend." (Answer: playing golf.) Ryo Ishikawa - now a high school graduate - flew over to the United States to play in the Transitions Championship and get ready for the...

Ryo Ishikawa Has to Let People Down Easy Sometimes
Perhaps in a sign of changing times, this is my second post this week about Ryo Ishikawa. (Don't think so, though.) Anyway, Ryo is a man that is in high demand these days. Pretty much every major company in Japan sponsors the kid. The Japanese just love their sports heroes in a way that makes...
What Some Golf Fans Will Do For A Souvenir
Ryo Ishikawa - fresh off of his solid play at the Presidents Cup - played in the Japan Open last weekend on the JPGT, where he has four wins this year. Ultimately, he didn't win the tournament and finished runner-up in a playoff with Ryuichi Oda. Things didn't get off to a better start in this...
Ryo Ishikawa Is Officially Mr. Sparkle
Shane Bacon from Fanhouse Golf teamed up with Patricia Hannigan from Golf Girl's Diary to present The Green Jacket, their award for best dressed golfer in 2009. Provided my taste in golf fashion, perhaps I shouldn't be upset that I wasn't invited to be a part of the panel. Anyway, here's...
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...
