At the time, Johnson was at -12 and in the lead. He was on the verge of winning his first major...

All eyes are not on the perceived Top 2 golf betting favorites and #1 and #2 ranked golfers in the world, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, going into this week’s USPGA Championship.

Tiger Woods’s issues on the golf course are way more than those of the mental variety.  Yes, obviously, you can’t go through what Tiger went through in his personal life and not have it affect you on the golf course, but Woods’s lack of terrific play in 2010 goes back to the single most important aspect of a successful athlete. When Brett Favre finally realized that he...

Golf bettors won't have any past history to go on when they handicap the Greenbrier Classic, which makes its maiden voyage this year in White Sulphur Springs, WV with a field that includes nine different major champions.
