This will be a Masters unlike any other—played in November, and without patrons. It’s definitely not how I pictured my title defense, and the week will certainly be different from any of the other 22 Masters I’ve played. But my preparation for the week remains the same.

At the conclusion of this year’s Wells Fargo Championship, having competed in seven PGA Tour events, Tiger Woods ranked 206th on tour in fairway accuracy (51 percent). Early-season performances like at the Farmers Insurance Open, where he hit only 17 fairways in four rounds, contributed a lot to his ranking and aren’t indicative of what Read more…
Golf Digest published its first article on how to play this magnificent and infuriating game in the spring of 1950. Fittingly, it was titled “How to putt.” Can’t get that right, the editors must have figured, and there’s no sense in learning the rest. But since that time, the rest has been covered in this Read more…

Although it’s the middle of winter, you can really get good at these shots this time of year without worrying about frostbite. Let me explain. One thing I Read more…
Jimmy Rollins’ Philadelphia Phillies were dealt a crushing blow on Monday night, when, after leading 4-0 through five innings, the Atlanta Braves came storming back to win 5-4 in stunning fashion. The game ended on a ridiculous 8-5-3 double play, the first of its kind in MLB postseason history, knotting up the series 1-1 as Read more…
Photographs by J.D. Cuban Next time you get to a par 3, compare the divots on the back tee to the ones on the closer tees. You should see two differences: Divot holes from better players start past the ball (you can usually tell where the tee was), and they point to the target. The Read more…
My iron play in 2019 wasn’t as good as I wanted, so after the surgery on my left knee at the end of the season, I worked on getting my ball-striking back to where it was a few years ago. I think a lot of golfers can relate to dealing with the ups and downs Read more…
