For many of us, the days ripe for golf are getting fewer and fewer. But it's a big world, which is why the news and developments still spill forth.

Golf ultimately is defined by winning and losing. The year will be remembered in the record books for Tiger Woods missing the cut in a major for the first time in his career, then rebounding to win the next two and finishing the year with six straight victories on the PGA Tour. Phil Mickelson slipped his arms into a green jacket at the Masters, then buried his head in his hands at Winged Foot after a colossal collapse at the U.S. Open.

As captivating as the CBS pictures are from the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, stepping on the 18th tee is necessary to grasp the magnitude of this âmost felicitous meeting of land and sea.â

The longest course for a major. A flap over the Ryder Cup. Tiger Woods hitting his stride. The PGA Championship returns to Medinah Country Club, and it doesn't seem as though much has changed in the seven years since it last was held at this tree-lined course outside Chicago.

Mickelson shot a 2-under 70 on Saturday at Spyglass Hill in the most miserable conditions of the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, giving him a share of the lead with Kevin Sutherland and a great chance to put to rest any notion of a U.S. Open hangover.

In marketing speak Tiger Woods puts bums on seats. He sells tickets, he sells advertising and he throws a blinding spotlight on events at which he plays.

With the PGA Tour&#39;s major championships concluded for 2004, we look for other story lines to sustain the golf season. The back nine: ...

Peter Lonard recounted a story two days before the Australian Open started last week about how he&#39;d had a seminal golfing moment on Sydney&#39;s The Australian Golf Course, his favourite course.

For all the fuss over Tiger Woods taking another week off, perhaps the Nissan Open should consider this possibility: It still might have the hottest player in golf at Riviera. True, one victory by Phil Mickelson still leaves him six short of the PGA Tour winning streak Woods is riding. And despite a five-shot victory at Pebble Beach, some perspective is in order.

Jack Nicklaus is confident the tournament he created will live on. Far more than a vanity project or a way to market his name, the Memorial Tournament has grown into one of the premier stops on the PGA Tour. And there's no reason to expect that to end once its famous, 67-year-old founder is no longer micromanaging every detail.
