15 and 81
The cream of the professional golf world certainly rose to the top after the first round of the 2019 Masters. The co-leaders after superb 6-under par 66’s were American stars Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka. For the cerebral 26-year old DeChambeau the last 12 months have been a coming out party as he has won […]
A Match Well Played
The biggest match of the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play happened in the Round of 16 when Rory McIlroy faced Tiger Woods. Matchplay is a strange beast and a tournament like the WGC Matchplay requires more from a player than a 72 stroke play event. The winner has to win at least 5 matches […]
We Saw This Coming
The PLAYERS Championship has always had an identity crisis. Try as hard as it might to be the “5th Major” it will always be the fifth most important tournament of the year. The latest attempt to generate interest for the PLAYERS Championship was to move it from its Mother’s Day dates in May to this […]
Rounding Into Form
Rory McIlroy has been rounding himself into form at the beginning on 2019. The 29-year old former world #1 (who is currently #6) has finished 4th, 5th, 4th and runner-up in his last four starts on the PGA Tour. Encouraging surely, but all falling short of what really matters to a player like McIlroy which […]
Dustin’ Em
The WGC-Mexico Championship at the Club de Golf Chapultepec in Mexico City brought together the strongest field in golf so far in 2019. There are four World Golf Championships held every year and they are second only to the 4 Majors and the Players Championship in prestige and prize-money. Two of the world’s best players, […]
A New Man
We prefer our heroes flawed. Our narcissistic penchant as the keepers of the flame of all things right and wrong is to place someone on a pedestal and then do everything that we can to see them off it. Tiger Woods is a symbol of both a fallen idol and a redeemed one. It would […]
Masters Favorites
The Masters tournament begins on Thursday and the excitement level is higher than ever with the anticipated return of Tiger Woods to Augusta National. Woods exploded back on the scene earlier this year with impressive rounds at the Valspar Classic and Arnold Palmer Invitational. Woods was once the most dominant golfer in the world, but […]
He’s Back
Canadian rookie Corey Conners shot a third round 3-under par 68 at the Valspar Championship to take the lead into a Sunday for the first time in his 18th start on the PGA Tour. He would be paired with Tiger Woods who was tied for second place (with Justin Rose and Brandt Snedeker), a stroke […]
Tiger Woods Returns
Thursday marks the most anticipated return since the arrival of the new Star Wars trilogy when Tiger Woods returns to golf to hit his first competitive shot in over 15 months at the Hero World Golf Challenge. He would follow that shot up with another 72 of them to record a 1-over par 73 at […]
The Chaska Champions
The 41st edition of the Ryder Cup was held this weekend at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota. Bird Golf has two connections with Hazeltine because one of our East Coast professionals, Jim Terry, was the teaching professional at the club for 15 years. Senior BGA West Coast professional, Craig Waryan’s uncle Don was […]
