Embed from Getty Images IT WAS STRANGE TO LEARN that Jack Nicklaus was being sued by the Nicklaus Companies for breach of contract. That was in May. Since then I've read a bit more about how Jack lost control of his companies over time and essentially became an employee, including one that fell out of favor. It was a series of unfortunate events, at least from Jack's standpoint. Now, as the case works its way through the New York courts, there's been a positive development for the Golden Bear. "Following a three-day hearing in late November," Golf Digest reported, "a New York supreme court ..read more

I WILL REMEMBER TOM WEISKOPF like many others: supremely talented with a beautiful golf swing. A nearly great PGA Tour player and Open champion also seen as an underachiever. Back in the 1970s it was unusual to see a man of Weiskopf's size (6 foot 3 inches) exhibit such an impressive combination of power and grace. In my memory, there was no one quite like him (tall, smooth and strong) until Ernie Els came along. Weiskopf struggled with his temperament and putting. I remember the moniker "Terrible Tom." As a teen, I liked Tom Weiskopf, although not as much as Johnny Miller. One of the bes ..read more

Embed from Getty Images CAMERON SMITH IS THE CHAMPION GOLFER OF THE YEAR, as they like to say at the Open Championship. Rory McIlroy, the 54-hole co-leader with Viktor Hovland, finished third. It's another in a long string of major disappointments for McIlroy, who was the clear fan and media favorite. But what can you do when you play a smart, controlled final round of 70 (you finally get that part right) and still lose? The only thing Rory is guilty of is not quite shooting low enough. In the 150 years of the Open Championship, 18 under puts your name on the Claret Jug on all but a few occ ..read more

THE RECORD WILL SHOW THAT TIGER WOODS missed the cut at the 150th Open Championship played at the Old Course in St. Andrews, the Home of Golf. His rounds of 78 and 75 put him near the bottom of the field, a humbling early finish for the three-time Open champion, two of them coming at St. Andrews. But even for Tiger, the fierce competitor who expects so much of himself, this week was about more than the state of his golf game. He said as much. "I have nothing, nothing planned," Tiger said after the walk up 18. "Zero. Maybe something next year. I don't know. But nothing in the near future. Thi ..read more

Embed from Getty Images If you watched on Sunday, then you probably agree that it was a great finish to the U.S. Open at The Country Club.
