Golf can be so vanilla that colorful storylines often get significant attention: Tiger's fall from grace, John Daly being himself on and off the course for the better part of 25 years, and lately, the character that is Robert Allenby, who witnesses claim wanted to fight fellow Aussie Geoff Ogilvy ...

Snoozefest. And the worst part is, no one is trying to hide it.
Johnny Miller put it best midway through Sunday's single matches, "These guys out here are all ...

Quick, name the dude in this picture. No cheating. Here's a hint: It's not your loan officer. Or your physics teacher. Or former Sports Illustrated writer Steve Rushin.
Give up?

The answer is Bill Haas, and apparently he's the best golfer in the United States. This of ...

What caught my eye about Rory McIlroy on Sunday was not how he dissected Congressional and the field for an eight-stroke win in a 16-under par demolition at the U.S. Open.

In news that is likely to shock the senses, the man pictured above is a total a-hole.
Golfer Rory Sabbatini is allegedly getting suspended by the PGA Tour after two separate incidents of douchery at Tour events, but we can only say allegedly because the Tour keeps all disciplinary matters private. ...
