In a Tuesday news conference at the Hero World Challenge, Tiger Woods sounded like a man who knew the end was near. We talk about why that made us sad and reflect on why we care so much when our sports heroes start to fade away. We also talk about Woods' legacy compared to that of Nicklaus, Hogan and Snead. Finally, we wonder if Woods has inspired a brand of golf that will further shorten the careers of the next generation of players.

In the wake of first-timers winning the first five events of the new PGA Tour season, it' time to ask the question if the style of golf required to win has changed.

Reviewing the best Presidents Cup...ever?

The 19th Hole Golf Show ·

2015/10/14

We put a bow on the 2015 Presidents Cup, including if the new format worked (it did), how Nick Price and his players screwed up a great opportunity, what Phil Mickelson meant to the U.S. team (a lot) and why Brandel Chamblee's comments about Mickelson and Tiger Woods not deserving to be American captains is absolutely asinine.

Is this the best we'll ever see Jordan Spieth play?

The 19th Hole Golf Show ·

2015/10/02

Now that Jordan Spieth has put the finishing touches on a historic season that included two majors, five wins and the FedEx Cup, the question is if he can replicate that kind of season again. We look at some of the headwinds Spieth will face in trying to keep up winning as he has been this year. While he's an above average length player, he relies on putting to score, which is a skill that erodes more quickly than distance. Also, we wonder if Spieth can maintain the same level of mental toughness

The 19th Hole Golf Show ·

2015/09/09

Golf seems in a rush to name Jordan Spieth, Jason Day and Rory McIlroy as golf's new Big Three. However, as Rickie Fowler demonstrated on Monday at the Deutsche Bank Championship, that call is probably premature. And there are others already on Tour, with more coming, looking to join the party. We also look at the miscue of picking Phil Mickelson for the U.S. Presidents Cup team.

Now that the bomb has gone off, how does golf escape, knowing its poor past with gender, racial and income equality? Also, we look at the PGA Tour's anti-doping program and the exposure of more problems in the wake of Scott Stallings' suspension.
