Musings: Kim, 22, dominates the Wachovia

Have we seen the future of the PGA Tour? Anthony Kim destroyed a major-quality field on a major-quality course in winning the Wachovia Championship by five shots, serving notice that all this talk about the scarcity of young talent on Tour was just that — talk.

Musings: Scott claims Byron Nelson victory

Adam Scott has been viewed as an underachiever, but occasionally he tantalizes us with glimpses of his awesome potential. This weekend’s EDS Byron Nelson was just such an occasion, even if he did try to give it away down the stretch.

Musings: Weekley prevails again at Hilton Head

In contrast with the stately, muted green jacket they present to the winner of the Masters, the champion at the Verizon Heritage gets to don a hideously loud plaid sportcoat. Somehow, self-described redneck Boo Weekley looks more appropriate in plaid.

Musings: Immelman wins on golf's grandest stage

Trevor Immelman proved his mettle at golf’s grandest cathedral, even if he had to share the spotlight with a 72-year-old who failed to make the cut and finished dead last. Only at the Masters.

Musings: Thoughts on the Greatest Week in Golf

There's no denying it, the Masters ranks with the greatest of all sports events. For incredible theater and intense, crushing pressure, the Final Four, World Series and Super Bowl have got nothing on Bobby Jones’ little get-together in the hills of eastern Georgia.

Musings: Love Hurts

Davis Love III's streak of 70 consecutive major championships is in serious jeopardy, as he must win this week’s Shell Houston Open to earn an invitation to the 2008 Masters.

Musings: Woods talk overshadows Ogilvy's win

With his win at the World Golf Championships-CA Championship, Geoff Ogilvy becomes only the third player to win more than one WGC title. Bet you didn’t know that. The buzz coming out of Doral this weekend was all about one man, and it sure wasn’t Ogilvy.

Musings: King Tiger

Tiger Woods passed "The King" on the all-time wins list with his 64th career victory and fifth win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Musings: O'Hair a deserving champion at PODS

On the strength of a brilliant final-round 69, Sean O’Hair leaves Palm Harbor, Fla., with a long-awaited second career PGA Tour win, making him one of only seven Tour players in their 20s with multiple wins on their career ledgers.

Musings: Easy does it

Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Vijay Singh were elsewhere, but don’t try to tell Ernie Els that his first PGA Tour victory since 2004 is in any way diminished. Judging from his post-round demeanor, winning the 2008 Honda Classic ranks alongside his two U.S. Open titles and his British Open win on the Big Easy’s career ledger.
