Teeing Off: Who is the 2013 Player of the Year?

Image
Welcome to Teeing Off, where Devil Ball editor Shane Bacon and national columnist Jay Busbee take a day's topic and smack it all over the course. Suggest a future topic by hitting us on Twitter at @shanebacon and @jaybusbee . Today we discuss who we think is the 2013 Player of the Year. Busbee : It's that time again! No, not football time, you. It's time to start kicking around who should be the player of the year. We've got three candidates: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Adam Scott. One has won more tournaments this year than anybody on earth; the other two have won majors. Which way do we vote here, huh? Bacon : I almost dedicated an entire column to this because there are so many ways you can go, but first I would like to throw out the "I bet Tiger would take (include Scott or Mickelson's) year." That isn't how this is figured out. Adam Scott even said BEFORE he won this weekend that "I'd rather have mine" when comparing season

Tiger Woods paired with Davis Love III and Keegan Bradley for first two rounds of PGA Championship

Image
While the Bridgestone Invitational still has 36 holes to go, a lot of the focus in the golf world is on the final major of the year. The PGA Championship kicks off next week, and the PGA of America has already released the tee times for all the players for the first two rounds. Tiger Woods will be paired with two former winners of this event, Keegan Bradley and Davis Love III, while the three major winners of 2013, Adam Scott, Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson, will go off together at Oak Hill. The rest of the tee times are after the jump, but give us what threesome you'd most want to follow if you were headed to the year's final major. Round 1 (No. 1), Round 2 (No. 10) [All times Eastern] 7:10AM-12:20PM: Rob Labritz, John Senden, Shane Lowry 7:20AM-12:30PM: Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Bob Gaus, Luke Guthrie 7:30AM-12:40PM: Marc Leishman, Josh Teater, Pablo Larrazabal 7:40AM-12:50PM: Tommy Gainey, Ryan Palmer, David Hearn 7:50AM-1:00PM: Michael Thompson, Marcel Siem, B

Pic: Paula Creamer Wins New Sexiest LPGA Golfer Poll

Image
Follow @golfcentraldoc Well knock me down with a feather but a poll conducted by an online dating site called Golfmates.com  has crowned Paula Creamer the LPGA's sexiest golfer.  It’s only a week since we had the infamous Paula Creamer boob pop out pic ! Apparently 2,600 users aged between 18 and 80 voted over a month for their favourite giving Paula 43% of the male vote and 56% of the female vote. Second was Michelle Wie, third was Beatriz Recari. I’m going to have to do one of those God Damned sexy lady golfer polls! Doc’s LPGA Pole Dancer poll?  I’m betting Michelle Wie wont be second, or even tenth! Don’t get me wrong either, I love Paula Creamer almost to stalker levels but this poll seems to have all the credibility of a Zimbabwean election.  I think we need to ditch the “LPGA” bit and bring out the big guns like these!   Natalie Gulbis and Anna Rawson Christie Kerr and Sandra Gal Meghan Hardin and Holly Sonders   Technorati Tags: Paula Creamer Sexy Golfer

Stevie Williams “Unlikely” To Shove Rusty Thing Up Tiger’s Ass Today

Image
In the absence of any other worthy news because the Deutsche Bank doesn’t start until today, all eyes have turned to last week’s winner Stevie Williams’ pairing with old pal Tiger Woods. Rather than take the opportunity to shove a large rusty implement up Tiger’s ass as he promised a few years back, it looks like the New Zealander has now made piece with the former jockey. “There’s an old saying that time heals all wounds,” Williams told FOX Sports. “I was very hurt by what happened with Tiger. Hurt and very disappointed (that Tiger didn’t share any of his hookers.) “I think it could’ve been handled differently. But it’s been a couple of years and, as I said, time has a way of healing.” According to Master’s Champion Williams, the ice-breaker came at the British Open. “I definitely got the sense at Merion that I was making Tiger uncomfortable and I thought about it after and decided the next time he and Adam were paired together, I’d say something to h

Howard Stern, Ian Poulter brought together on Twitter by idiot golf-course hecklers

Image
One of the world's most popular golfers and the King of All Media crossed paths on Twitter on Sunday, and it was for the most peculiar of reasons: unruly fans. If you watched even one stroke of golf this weekend at the PGA Championship, you got to enjoy the glory that was the gallery of idiots screaming "funny" slogans after every player hit. Here, enjoy a selection, starting with a "mashed potato!" for Tiger Woods: Next, Keegan Bradley, who gets both a "Baba Booey" and a "Go Sawx!": And finally, champion Jason Dufner, who gets a "Chewbacca!" to follow his drive: Funny, right? Clever, right? Announcers chided the fans all through the tournament, and Jim Furyk even stopped after his tee shot on the 16th to glare at some fans who yelled as he was hitting. Ian Poulter, the 17th-ranked golfer in the world, decided to take to Twitter to vent: We should be allowed to take 10'000 volt tazers onto the course and tazer ever muppet who sh

PGA Championship, Round 2: Jason Dufner nearly makes history at Oak Hill

Image
• Jason Dufner was the story on Friday at the PGA Championship, but we will get to him in a bit. The big story continues to be how easy Oak Hill is playing, and how the best in the world are taking full advantage of the soft conditions and pure greens. • The PGA of America always groups the three major winners together for the first two rounds of the PGA Championship, and two of those men have a real shot at adding another trophy to their already great seasons. Adam Scott sits two shots back of Dufner, while Justin Rose is a shot back of Scott at 6-under. Both have played great for two days and will definitely be factors come this weekend. • The two names that most thought had the best chance at the Wanamaker Trophy have struggled this week at Oak Hill. Tiger Woods shot a round of even-par 70 on a friendly scoring day to sit 10 shots back of the lead, while Phil Mickelson is a shot back of Tiger, 11 shots behind Dufner. Both have struggled to hit fairways and can't seem to fi
