Geoff Ogilvy

Geoff Ogilvy pens an article for Golf Digest from time to time and given he is one of the more interesting, articulate golfers on the PGA Tour, his thoughts are always worth a read. This month's article, " Not all pros care about courses, but better layouts = better golf " has Ogilvy arguing that the PGA Tour should be played on better golf courses. PGA Tour players look at golf courses the same way most people look at them. They like layouts where they tend to play well, maybe even more...Read Full Story

Forget your Sabbatinis or your Montys, your Sergio tantrums or your Spencer Levin goes berserk.  It looks like the golf world has a new bad guy, or rather an old bad guy who’s been round a long time but we kindof forgot about. It’s probably fair to say Robert Allenby has had his “bell-end” incidents over the years that haven’t exactly endeared him to the golfing public. He is well known for being like the Shawshank prison warden to several caddies over the years with one, Matthew "Bussy...Read Full Story

It has been a while since we've been this excited about Australian chances at a major golf championship. Could we see a winner at this week's US Open? Only two Australians have ever won the US Open, which is two more than have won the US Masters. David Graham won in 1981 and of course, Geoff Ogilvy won in 2006.

Geoff Ogilvy has been more injury prone than Michael Owen lately.  Firstly he ripped his finger on some coral at the beach (kids avoid horseplay in the water), then he went and tore out his shoulder at Sawgrass.
