But his strategy will be markedly different from the one that carried him to victory at Firestone, the world No. 1 tells Golf's Pat Mahoney in a chat on the range. More »

      Tiger Good, Garcia Better at British Open

      (Newser) - In a year characterized by high scores and sloppy majors play, Carnoustie has thus far proved the antidote; 24 players finished under par after day one, led by Spain's Sergio Garcia at a 6-under 65. Carnoustie was Garcia's first major tournament, in 1999, when he hit an 89 on the first day, including a triple bogey on the first hole. More »

      Golf Tourneys Putt Short for Charity

      (Newser) - As Tiger Woods's AT&T National tournament gets underway in Bethesda, corporate types are opening their wallets for the charity event—but, the Washington Post reports, their money may not go where they expect.
