Tiger Woods proves himself once again as the king of the gold course as he takes home the cup for the 108th U.S. Open Playoff. This win is in fact Woods’ third U.S. Open title and this is the 14th championship he won throughout his golf career. He is now only four championships short from achieving the 18 championship record set by his childhood hero Jack Nicklaus. Woods made the win with the two-putt par from 20 feet on the 19th hole. He got this one over his opponent Rocco Mediate who missed the 20-foot par putt he had to make. Monday’s tournament was a close one, both Woods and Mediate put up a great fight until the last hole. And in the end it was Woods who triumphed.

There are only very few individuals who make it to golf amateur championship at a young age. Among the few are Michelle Wie who almost won an LPGA major when she was 13 and a PGA when she was 14. Wei made her professional debut in 2005 at the Samsung World Championship in 2005. But just lately her game has been not so good, besieged by criticisms, wrist injuries, poor public relations, missed cuts and two withdrawals. These are reasons enough to wipe the smile off anyone’s face right?

But Michelle now has another big reason to smile because she has finally come of age! She turned 18 on last Thursday. Yep she finally blew her 18 candles. It’s good because she’ll be in good spirits as she heads down for the Samsung World Championship. According to her, “I feel a lot better as a person. You know, I think that it will get better.”

The PGA Championship is one of the greatest highlights in the world of golf. PGA or Professional Golfers Association of America Championship is the time when pro golfers compete for the top position. Last week, especially Sunday, marks a great culmination for the PGA Championship. If you bet on Tiger Woods’ win, you did not bet wrongly! Woods garnered his 13th major title. This 2007 PGA Cup is actually his 4th PGA. In the tournament held at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa Oklahoma, he finished first place with a final-round one-under par 69 in the 72 holes. This latest victory is another memorable one for Tiger Woods because it is the first one he’s made since the arrival of his beautiful daughter Sam.

Are you aware that Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan are good buddies? Well by Wednesday they will show the world how good their partnership is in the Wachovia Championships Pro-Am. Actually these two have played lots of golf together for quite some time but just not in an organized event.

Some people end their careers after a terrible tragedy or a loss of a mentor. Such was the case when Michael Jordan went into retirement for the first time after the death of his father. Tiger woods, is having emotional trouble in dealing with the death of his father, Earl Woods who was not only his father but mentor as well.

Arnold Palmer won 62 times on the PGA Tour and is considered as one of Golf's legends had this to say about Tiger's tragedy:
"What a year Tiger had, with all he had to deal with, and how he triumphed. It's a magnificent story."

Rising star Yang Yong-Eun beat world number one Tiger Woods by two strokes and won the HSBC Champions on Sunday in Shanghai, China.

Who said Woods couldn't be beaten?

"I wasn't quite good enough," Tiger Woods said. "Yesterday just killed me.”

Fans of Adam Scott who have devotedly followed the events of the PGA Tour would have probably shouted hurrah when the 26-year-old Australian finally rolled the ball right in the hole in last Sunday’s three-stroke victory. This youngest golfer so far has played quite consistently in the past five years of his professional career. His various victories have catapulted him in line with some of the best golfers in the world.

“This is sweet, really sweet,” Tiger Woods said after winning his 12th major title at the season’s final major, the 2006 PGA Championship held at the Medinah Country Club. This victory is Tiger Wood’s third PGA Championship victory and second on the said course, the first was in 1999. Woods defeated Shaun Micheel just by five strokes and with a score of 18 under par.

15-year-old Michelle Wie, the Hawaii teen who has been competing against golf's best players since she was in the seventh grade, turned professional to be the most celebrated teenage talent since Tiger Woods and has already set her sights on becoming the first woman to play in a men's major.

Michelle Wie has signed endorsement deals with Nike and Sony said to be worth a reported $10 million a year which would make her the sport's best-paid female.

Tiger Woods is Open champion for the second time. His mastery of the Old Course at St Andrews and of the world's leading players was an almost exact repeat of his performance here in the Millennium Open.

He dominated play throughout the four days of the Championship, opening with rounds of 66-67, then had to fight hard in tough conditions on the third day for a 71 before adding the final flourish with a 70 and a five-shot victory over Colin Montgomerie.

Woods played throughout with iron control, using his full power sparingly and preferring to target the safe areas away from the dangerous bunkers that pepper the Old Course. It was a well deserved victory.

Who do you think will win the U.S Open Championship 2005?
