Posted by JP On December 11th, 2009

Yep. The Tiger-gate scandal is officially going to wreck the PGA Tour. Today, Tiger Woods announced on his blog that he is going to walk away from golf due to the recent series of sex scandals. Here is the full blog post, which is available on his website as well. "I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children.

American Smackdown at Presidents Cup

Posted by JP On October 11th, 2009

On the final day of the 2009 Presidents Cup, the American team's performance was nothing short of dominant. In the end, the U.S. won with 19.5 to the international team's 14.5 points. Critical wins from Stewart Cink (who defeated young gun Adam Scott) and Tiger Woods (who defeated his PGA Championship rival, Y.E. Yang) put the U.S. back on top of the world.

Travel: Kapalua Resort, HI

Posted by JP On September 1st, 2009

Few courses let you live the PGA Tour experience quite like the Plantation course at the Kapalua Resort in Hawaii. Perhaps you don't get to sample the heartbreak of defeat or the pressure of crowds watching your every shot, but you will get to hack on a gorgeous layout designed to provide many scenic vistas (as well as the island's best golf). Kapalua Resort is located on the Hawaiian island of Maui, and it provides a vacation experience that very well may lead the pack among many of the nation's most popular resorts...

I am introducing a new ZealousGolfer.com feature covering some of the stories that appear in golf's major publications.

This month, Golf Digest released an exclusive interview with Open Championship runner-up Tom Watson. Watson discussed the details of his rise and fall at Turnberry during the 2009 British Open.

For example, Watson was asked what shot he would most like to do-over from the tournament? His response:
"I'd probably hit the 8-iron easier to the 72nd. I had 170 yards to the front, 164 to the right front, where you didn't want to go because the green runs to the right. So I hit it at the flag. [...] You'd think I could stop it, but that crest was probably the driest part of the green."

The rest of the interview is available in the October 2009 edition of Golf Digest.
