"Let's be realistic here: This news is a punch in the gut," says CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz. Other players get their chance at glory—but audiences will be limited.http://www.newser.com/story/30392/tigers-absence-sure-to-cripple-broadcasters.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 19 Jun 2008 7:15:46 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/29798/the-real-us-open-matchup-is-fan-vs-fan.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are as contrasting a pair as Coke and Pepsi, at least in terms of the following each draws, CBS Sportsline reports. The only sound that could drown out the "Mickelsonic boom" that has been following the San Diego native is the roar of excitement Tiger is accustomed to. Can the fan bases coexist this weekend?http://www.newser.com/story/29798/the-real-us-open-matchup-is-fan-vs-fan.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 12 Jun 2008 7:24:45 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/29485/torrey-pines-is-a-beautiful-beast.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTorrey Pines Golf Course has been preparing for years to host the US Open, and all that care will make for a challenging but fair contest this week, writes the New York Times . The longest US Open course ever, Torrey South boasts three lengths of rough, poa annua greens, and a firm fairway—and a special connection to the favorites.http://www.newser.com/story/29485/torrey-pines-is-a-beautiful-beast.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 08 Jun 2008 9:51:12 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/29139/fortunate-50-sports-elite-in-the-green.html?refid=rss_all_defaultForget all the talk of economic uncertainty. Sports Illustrated has released its fifth annual Fortunate 50 ranking of top athlete incomes, and things are certain as they've ever been; the NBA pays the best, women aren't being paid enough and Tiger Woods is absolutely untouchable. Ranked by combined on- and off-the-field income, the top ten (with six and seven tied) are below:http://www.newser.com/story/29139/fortunate-50-sports-elite-in-the-green.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 04 Jun 2008 15:42:03 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/29266/golfs-top-3-to-tee-off-together-at-us-open.html?refid=rss_all_defaultIn a move sure to shock purists, the US Golf Association has decided to group top-ranked Tiger Woods and No. 2 Phil Mickelson in the first two rounds of next week's US Open, the AP reports. The two will be joined by third-ranked Adam Scott; the rest of the top 12 will start in trios, too—despite potential pitfalls.http://www.newser.com/story/29266/golfs-top-3-to-tee-off-together-at-us-open.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 05 Jun 2008 8:22:49 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/24208/immelman-leads-a-masters-full-of-surprises.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTrevor Immelman, who only four months ago was in a hospital in South Africa to recover from a benign tumor that doctors removed from his diaphragm, shot a second consecutive 4-under 68 to build a one-shot lead over Snedeker after two rounds of the Masters. Tiger Woods, at 1-under, needs a huge comeback to start a Grand Slam for 2008.http://www.newser.com/story/24208/immelman-leads-a-masters-full-of-surprises.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 11 Apr 2008 21:17:39 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/19699/woods-stricker-advance-in-match-play.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTiger Woods made easy 3-and-2 work of Arron Oberholser, but there was no shortage of exciting tete-a-tetes elsewhere in round two of the WGC Match Play Championship. Phil Mickelson's excellent performance was trumped by Stuart Appleby's sensational nine birdies; the lefty has yet to reach the event's quarterfinals.

Holmes.  “I was just going to have to start playing a hell of a lot better. Then all of a sudden, putts started falling in from everywhere,” Woods said of the comeback, reports the Associated Press.http://www.newser.com/story/19603/tiger-rallies-for-match-play-win.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWed, 20 Feb 2008 21:14:18 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/19317/mickelson-secures-win-at-riviera.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe West Coast has been kind to Phil Mickelson over the years: of his 33 career wins, 16 of which came in PGA Tour Western stops. His latest victory, a two-shot win over Jeff Quinney, came at the Northern Trust Open today. A win at Riviera Country Club is a feat neither Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus has ever accomplished.http://www.newser.com/story/19317/mickelson-secures-win-at-riviera.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 17 Feb 2008 23:31:36 CST
