Millions who had never watched a golf tournament tuned in every time Woods was on the course, says Paul Newberry.

Jordan Spieth made another entry into golf’s history books and steadied himself for a third leg of an historic calendar Grand Slam after dramatically sealing a Masters-US Open double at Chambers Bay early on Monday morning.

Former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley believes Rory McIlroy has a long way to go before he deserves to be compared to Tiger Woods.

Rory McIlroy is approaching the same level of dominance that saw Tiger Woods complete the Tiger Slam in 2001 and Colin Montgomerie sees the rest playing for second in this week’s US PGA at Valhalla.

The last time Valhalla staged the US PGA Championship in 2000, the 18th green witnessed the passing of the torch between the two greatest players of their generations.

If Rory McIlroy was not feeling the burden of expectation that comes with being the world number one heading into a Ryder Cup, he might well be now.

With the British Open Championship only two weeks away and another win under his belt, Tiger Woods can achieve yet another milestone this Sunday.

Tiger Woods was talking about the Old Course at St Andrews when he said: “It’s been different the last three times I’ve played here.”

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON believes he can make 2010 a landmark year by becoming the first man to win all four majors in the same calendar year.

Tiger Woods can offer Padraig Harrington the benefit of his experience in dealing with the “eternity” between major championships when the pair tee off together in the Arnold Palmer Invitational tomorrow.

There is something that means more to Tiger Woods than winning seven successive US Tour titles – and it is not hard to guess what it is.

Padraig Harrington believes it would be unwise to rule Tiger Woods out of contention for next week's US Open even though it is over two months since he played competitive golf.

Masters champion Phil Mickelson is doing what all good golfers do – taking it one shot at a time, one round at a time and one major at a time.

The last time the world’s greatest golfers gathered for a major Tiger Woods paid Phil Mickelson a huge compliment.

It is Tiger Woods on whom most eyes will be focused when the US Open gets under way at Pinehurst tomorrow.

As the only man to have held all four majors at the same time, Tiger Woods does not need anybody to tell him how best to go about trying to win a Grand Slam.

For the first time since he won the US Masters in 1997, Tiger Woods will not start a major championship as the favourite when the 133rd British Open gets under way on Thursday.
