For the first time in years it is going to be very difficult to predict who will win the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.  Tiger Woods has had one of those years you just want to sweep under the rug and forget about.  His career worse performance at Firestone provided a 298 over 72 holes.  The PGA Championship will be the last major of the year and we can’t even predict that Tiger will make the cut.

Lefty Phil Michelson has not played well as of late either.  Tiger’s downfall left the door wide open for Phil to take over the number one spot in the world; and he has yet to capitalize on it.  He tied for 46th at Firestone.  What has happened to these seasoned professionals that once graced the course with their every swing?

So, who did win the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone?  A 28 year old, 7 year pro named Hunter Mahan.  He finished 12 under par and took home a hefty $1,400,000 check for his efforts.  Back in February he also took home over $1,000,000 for his 16 under par performance at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Right now Hunter Mahan looks as good as anyone cruising into Whistling Straits.  Let’s face it; anything could happen.  It is the never knowing for sure; that makes predicting and betting so fun and challenging.  Until we meet again; may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

The golf world is waiting with curiosity to see if Tiger Woods can regain his form next weekend and defend his Memorial Tournament title.  Woods, who took 3 weeks off to heal a neck injury, has won the Memorial 4 times.  Tiger says he is not 100% but is looking forward to getting back on the course.

Tiger is taking it slow but has confirmed he will play in the British Open as well on July 15th.  Chances are he will also play at the US Open as well, which begins 2 weeks after the Memorial.  Tiger tied for 4th at the Masters last month and them failed to make the cut at Quail Hollow in North Carolina.  He was 4 under par at the Players Championship before bowing out with the neck injury.

Tiger is a Champion.  Regardless of what anyone says about him.  I have read so much garbage written about Tiger over the last 6 months.  However, that is the way it is in Sports.  Some Fans are with you when you are winning and riding high but jump off the bandwagon when you don’t fit the image.  I make no excuses for Tigers infidelity, but that is between Tiger, his Wife and God.

Those who are perfect throw the first stone.  No matter what an athlete does in their personal life it will never change what they have done on the field.  Babe Ruth was a champion, Ben Roethlisberger is a Champion and Tiger Woods is a Champion.   I wish they were better role models.  Tiger and Big Ben still have a chance to change.  Tiger can win the Memorial because he is still one; if not the best, golfer in the world.  But as we have learned over the years; it is not what you did for us yesterday; its what you can do for us today.  Tiger must find the “eye of the tiger” again and he will, you can bet on it.  Until we meet again, may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

The five month lay off has obviously taken its toll on the number one golfer in the world.  You can tell Tiger Woods is still trying to shake the rust off well into the second round at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina.  The crowd cheered Tiger as he left the first hole with a birdie but then he had a bogey on holes 3 and 4.

Tiger has found himself 10 shots behind the leader Bo Van Pelt and 9 behind the Masters Champion Phil Mickelson.  It is obvious that Tiger is going to need a strong finish if he hopes to compete for the entire weekend.  It is estimated that if does not finish strong; he will be going home.

When Tiger Woods teed off today at the Masters Golf Championship in Augusta, Georgia he was 2 shots off the lead after 2 rounds.  It is typical for Tiger to soak up all the media attention at any golf event he participates in; after all he is one of the greatest golfers in the world.

This year however; there is a new spin on Tiger’s participation.  Recent months have brought about many reports of Tiger’s off the course putting with the opposite sex and he has been evidently playing a variety of courses.  His unfaithfulness has kept the media buzzing for quite sometime now.  He took some time off from golfing as he attempted to save his marriage and what was left of his image.

He chose to return to the Masters allowing the media circus to begin.  Many wondered if the off course pressure had caused Tiger to lose his edge on it.  The fans and media around the world wondered how Tiger would look and act when the first round kicked off.  It was obvious from the tee that Mr. Woods was still a player on the course as well.  The ratings for the first round went through the roof; up over 47% from last year.

Regardless of his off the course activities; Tiger is still a force to be reckoned with.  He is good for the game and the accomplishments he has accumulated in his career can never be tarnished or took for granted.  He has won 14 Majors and is now halfway to his 5th Masters Championship.  At 6 under par and in third place in round 3 Tiger is setting right where he likes to be.

Tiger has as good a chance as anyone of coming up victorious on Sunday.  He is after all the Master and he has certainly been in this situation many times before and for all of you who were wondering; he will be there many times more in the future.

There have been a lot of jokes and controversy at the expense of Tiger Woods since the news leaked out of his extramarital affairs.  I felt it was necessary to offer my two cents into the pot and so here it goes.  Tiger Woods is human too.  I know it is hard to believe.  He is one of the best golfers to ever walk onto a golf course and in many ways he has seemed indestructible over the years.  But like other humans he is vulnerable to the temptations of the world.

Please do not misunderstand me.  I do not make excuses for Tiger Woods or the path he chose to partake.  Unfortunately that path is taken by many human beings everyday but it is magnified and dissected when you are in the limelight.  Once again, Tiger Woods earned over 100 million dollars last year and the limelight and fame is the price to pay for invasion of privacy.

Tiger Woods may seem like a god in the golfing circle but he not a God.  He is a human being who is as open to making mistakes as all of us.  What Tiger did was wrong.  He knows it and his wife knows it and Tiger will have to work as hard at his personal life as he has in his golfing career if he wants to save his marriage.  Perhaps he is on the road to doing so as it has been reported that he is in rehap for sex addiction at Pine Grove Behavior Health and Addiction Clinic in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

Regardless of how Tiger’s personal life turns out it will never change what he has accomplished in the world of golf.  It is my sincere hope that Tiger will continue to place his emphasis on saving his marriage, be successful and then return to the golf course to extend his legend.  Tiger made some bad choices.  He will have to live with those choices for the rest of his life.  In the end is but a human and must confront his demons just like the rest of us.  You can bet on the fact that he will be back to take his place as the number one golfer in the world.  Take that too the bank.  Until we meet again may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

Tomorrow night is Mixed Martial Arts night on CBS as Strikeforce brings the much anticipated bout between Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers.  From Russia, Fedor Emelianenko is considered to be the best mixed martial artist in the world.  Brett Rogers on the other hand was changing tires in Minnesota a few years ago.  Rogers is the underdog but he can cement his place in history if he can find a way to beat Emelianenko Saturday night.

The New York Yankees won their 27th World Series Wednesday night in their 40th appearance.  It was the first for the most famous MLB dynasty in their new stadium.  The Philadelphia Phillies put up a fight but the franchise with too many bucks to spend could not be subdued this time around. These Bronx Bombers are truly the best team money can buy.

The HSBC  Champions Golf event is well underway in Shanghai and Tiger Woods is edging close to a match up with Phil Mickelson  once again.  The front 9 consists of 7 Americans and until Friday no one was really making a run.  Tiger Woods took advantage of that and shot to the forefront with Nick Watney.  This World Golf Championship will be the last of the season.

Last year the Pittsburgh Penguins surprised the Hockey world by winning the Championship and this year they are off to a 12-4 start.  They did get clipped by the Los Angeles Kings Thursday night 5-2 but they are still looking like a serious challenger for another run at the Stanley Cup.

On Monday night the NCAA Basketball season kicks off.  Last years National Champions the North Carolina Tarheels open up at home against Florida International.  They begin this season ranked #6 perhaps because they no longer have Tyler Hansbrough to lean upon.  The #16 Ohio State Buckeys open up the same night hosting the Alcorn State Braves.  Kansas starts out the year at #1 and they open their season next Friday.

The Duke Blue Devils begin their year next Friday as well and begin the season ranked #9.  The NBA season is less than 10 games into a long season but the Boston Celtics are 6-0 and are in the front of the Eastern Conference while the Denver Nuggets are 5-0 and lead the Western Conference.  Until we meet again may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

Another weekend of sports action is here again and there will be a lot of athletes with sore bodies come Monday.  The Major League Baseball season is winding down and the National Football League is just heating up.  The NCAA Football season is on fire as well.  If you squint your eyes you can see the NBA season in the distance.  Yes, there is plenty of sports for any enthusiast and plenty of opportunity to make a little wager.  There is plenty to talk about so hold on tight it could get a little rough.

The MLB playoff picture is close to developing and it is going to be fun.  The New York Yankees are the winningest team in baseball this year with 102 wins.  They have clinched the American League East with the Boston Red Sox clinching a wild card spot right behind them.  In the AL Central the Detroit Tigers need to win 2 games to clinch.  The Los Angeles Angels have already clinched the AL West.  Last years Champions the Philedelphia Phillies have already clinched the NL East and the St. Louis Cardinals the NL Central.  In the NL West the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched with the Colorado Rockies taking in the wildcard.   Next week we will devote a day to sizing up the playoff picture.

Just a reminder that I picked the Patroits over the Raven, the Jets over the Saints, the Steelers over the Chargers and the Vikings over the Packers in Week 4 of the NFL.  I will also take the Dallas Cowboys over the Denver Broncos and the Tennesee Titans will pick up their first win over the Jacksonville Jaquars.  By the way Brett Farve injured his foot but he is up and moving around fine and should start his 273rd straight game on Monday night against the Packers.

In NCAA Football number 1 Florida is off until next weekend when they face LSU.  Number 2 Texas is also off until next week when they will face Colorado.  Number 3 Alabama is at Kentucky and should pull this one out with no problem.  Number 4 LSU is at Number 18 Georgia.  This will be a tough game but LSU should come away with a victory.  Number 5 Boise St is hosting UC Davis so what do you think?  Number 6 Va Tech is at Duke and they are not playing basketball folks.  Number 7 USC is playing Number 24 California who got stunned 42-3 last week.  It won’t get much better this Saturday.  Number 8 Oklahoma will be at Number 17 Miami of Florida.  Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford will not be starting.  That’s not good.  Could be an upset in the making.  Number 9 Ohio State will be at Indiana.  The Buckeyes have shutout their last 2 opponents.  Could Indiana be number 3?  I think so.  Finally Number 10 Cinncinati takes a short road trip to Miami of Ohio.  Cinncinati should not have a problem.

Just a few notes of interest.  In Golf Tiger Woods won the FedEX Cup last week and took home the ten million dollar prize.  That put Tiger over the Billion dollar earnings mark in his career.  That is right 1 Billion dollars.  In Tennis Rafael Nadal has been cleared to play again and will participate in Spain’s Davis Cup in December.  Andy Murray on the other hand has dropped out of the Japan Open due to a wrist injury.  Well that is it for this week folks.  Until we meet again may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

Thursday, August 27th, the Pro Golf Playoffs begin in search of the FedEx Cup and the Ten Million Dollar reward that waits at the end of the 4 week tournament. The battle begins at the Barclays. 124 of the best Pro Golfers will begin in the competition. This will include Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh. There is much discussion about these playoffs and where they should rank in importance compared to a Major Tournament. Every Pro Golfer has their own opinion.

Many feel like a Major is more important because they have been around for so much longer. Others feel like this 4 week playoffs for the FedEx Cup brings the best field together for the longest period of time. In addition, the ten million dollar reward is nothing to laugh at either.

The 4 week playoffs begin at the Barclays in Jersey City, New Jersey the first week. The second week will have the top 100 moving on to the TPC Boston for the Deutsche Bank Championship. Week 3 of the playoffs will be held at Cog Hill, which is located just outside Chicago.

Here the top 70 players to that point will compete in the BMW Championship. The top 30 players will then meet in Atlanta for the final competition for the FedEx Cup and ten million dollars. It is hard enough to play well against a great field in a one week tournament; it is even harder to do so for a month. The excitement is definately building.

There is one thing the Pro Golfers do agree on when it cups to winning the FedEx Cup. They all agree that you will not see just anybody win it. During a one week Major Championship every once in a while a golfer comes out of no where to snatch it away like Y.E. Yang did at the PGA Championship over Tiger Woods. However, this is not likely to happen in these playoffs. The name that you will see on this Championship Cup will be a well known seasoned golfer.

Y.E. Yang deserves all the credit for winning the PGA Championship but it takes pure greatness to play better than anyone else in the field for 4 straight weeks. Perhaps Yang will surprise again but it is not likely. The FedEx Cup was created to allow the best golfers in the world to compete in a playoff system that is as grueling and competitive as any tournament imaginable. This is a tournament that seperates the men from the boys, the flukes from the real deal. One good week will not do it, two great weeks will not help you; even three great weeks can leave you empty handed. You have to play well in all 4 weeks.

Tiger Woods won the first FedEx Cup but even he will have to play his best for all 4 weeks. This tournament is not for the meek at heart. So who do you put your money one? It is going to be tough but lets face it, Tiger Woods is favored whenever he starts a tournament. Until we meet again may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.

Y.E. Yang became the first Asian player to win a major championship this past Sunday.  This was a remarkable feat considering he was paired with Tiger Woods.  Tiger began the final round on Sunday leadng the pack and it appeared he would easily win the tournament.  It was not to be.  Yang who hails from South Korea played steady with confidence.  Tiger had trouble on the green all day.  Tiger missed some relatively short putts that allowed Yang to first tie and then take the lead.

Tiger Woods looked very comfortable as the day began.  After all, he was 14-0 in tournaments when he had the lead going into the final round.  All in all Tiger proved that he was human after all.  Tiger knew he had played well enough to win the championship but he also knew that unless you get the ball in the hole when on the green bad things are going to happen.  Tiger normally displays great putting technique and has surprised more than one opponent over the years with his short game.  That short game was not to be seen this past Sunday.

Therefore, the 37 year old Y.E. Yang overcame the odds and won the PGA Championship by 3 strokes.  His win inspired Asian golfers around the world.  Not only had Yang beaten Woods in a tournament but in a major as well.  In the end it would be justifiable to say that Tiger Woods defeated himself on Sunday.  After all, Golf is a individual game.  Each player has the responsibility of playing their best game and not truly defeating him or herself.  If Tiger had brought his short game with him on Sunday he would have won the championship.

Never the less it is what it is.  Tiger did not win a major this season.  He may have come close but close only counts in the game of horse shoes.  Y. E. Yang deserves to be proud of his accomplishment.  He played his game on Sunday and displayed moments of excellence that led him to victory.  Anyone who knows anything about golf knows that Tiger will be back.  He is after all, the number one golfer in the world with good reason.  This week however Y. E. Yang can rejoice.  He broke the odds.  I would not bet on him doing so against Tiger again.  Until we meet again may your betting be better and remember to always be a good sport.
