Masters playoff format explained: What are the rules? Which holes are played? Original
The Masters Tournament is all about tradition – the green jacket and the Champions Dinner come to mind – but there is one aspect where the tournament abandons its old-school feel: playoffs. If the tournament ends in a tie today, a sudden-death format will decide the winner. The Masters is the only major that employs sudden death to determine a winner in the event of a tie. Sudden-death playoffs used to begin at No. 10, but now the Masters starts them on No. 18.
How big of a competition can the new Kelly Ranch Golf Club expect in Fort Worth?
I was intrigued by the Kelly Ranch Golf Club development project’s $100 million price tag. The project’s scale and scope have piqued my interest, and I would like to learn more about it.

Sports in :60 - May 8, 2023
This past Saturday, May 6, was the Kentucky Derby, which was marred by controversy due to several horses dying prior to the race. Seven horses died following injuries at the track since April 27, including Derby entrant Wild On Ice. Freezing Point and Chloe’s Dream were euthanized after injuries before Saturday’s Kentucky Derby that was ultimately won by Mage.
OPINION: Twitter buyout, Elon doesn’t care about you
Twitter accepted a deal to be bought out for $44 billion on April 25 by SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk, who said he wants to protect and enhance free speech. However, this buyout is a disgusting waste of money in a world full of real issues for real people. Much of the public views Musk as “the people’s billionaire;” he makes marijuana jokes and gives controversial opinions to perpetuate the culture war. Musk is also seen as charitable.
St. Thomas’ Dougherty Family College announces Buffy Smith as new dean
The University of St. Thomas’ Dougherty Family College announced its new dean, Buffy Smith, Wednesday in an email to the St. Thomas community from executive vice president and provost Eddy Rojas.

Former and current student government members reflect on USG’s evolution
This slideshow requires JavaScript. A lot has changed at St. Thomas since the Undergraduate Student Council was formed as the All College Council in 1938. From going co-ed to Division I athletics, the voice of the student body has grown immensely. In the 1970’s you would find Rick Kunkel, who is now an associate professor of ethics and business law at the university, at the open meetings, where he said the topic of conversation was slightly different from today’s.
Recession Conjecture; Twitter Tweaks; Masters Memories
Good morning, it’s Tuesday, April 12, 2022. Tiger Woods’ gutsy performance at last weekend’s Masters tournament -- a little more than a year after suffering grievous injuries in a car accident -- put old timers in mind of the great Ben Hogan. That’s fitting. In January 1949, while atop golf’s pinnacle, Hogan won a playoff at the Long Beach Open. A week later, at a tournament in Phoenix, Hogan lost a playoff before driving back to Texas with his wife, Valerie.

Golf’s GOAT? How can one vote?
Discussions of the GOAT (greatest of all time) have dominated the airwaves and every wave you can imagine since Tom Brady officially announced his retirement after 22 years in the NFL and seven Super Bowls. GOAT, GOAT, GOAT. Enough, enough, enough. If there’s a more tedious topic than who is the GOAT in any sport, well, please, what is it? My problems with the question are due to other questions. How can anybody really know? Are there criteria that are indisputable?

Sam Snead, Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson were Masters' first 'Big Three'
Golf’s “Big Three” of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player will serve as honorary starters this week at the Masters Tournament, but fans should take a moment to pay tribute to another celebrated trio that dominated the Masters in its early years.Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson and Sam Snead all were born in 1912, and each made significant contributions to the Masters and Augusta National Golf Club.

Grain Wrap | Rising prices path of least resistance | The Land
THE theme has been consolidation in global agriculture commodity futures markets with corn and soybeans both closing higher every day last week. While still 15 to 20 per cent off the May highs, the continued positive closes suggest the “trade war rout” might have abated for now. Wheat futures have fared better than their row-crop cousins, currently sitting at only 10pc below the May highs.

Lee Trevino: Put Jordan Spieth on Dallas golfers Mount Rushmore
Likely no American city has had a greater influence on the world of golf than Dallas, Texas and the surrounding Fort Worth area. Between the likes of Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino and now Jordan Spieth (and even others), the proverbial Mount Rushmore of Dallas golfers is stout. Ask Trevino, though, and Spieth rightfully owns a spot on that short list. The 6-time major winner recently shared his perception of the Dallas-Fort Worth golfer hierarchy with Sportsday.
Ben Hogan: The Golf Magazine Interview
Ben Hogan, who you will read and hear plenty about this week as the PGA Tour visits one of his old haunts in Colonial Country Club, was famously curt and unrevealing, at least in public settings. But on the rare occasions when he did open up, he was candid and insightful -- as was the case in this gripping interview that originally appeared in the September 1987 issue of GOLF.

Shelf Awareness for Readers for Tuesday, March 20, 2012
The Thriller Guy Do you ever get tired of the Thriller Guy? You know the one. Square jaw. Steely eyes. Can shoulder a Smurf & Winsome Semi-Automatic 15XZ Hippoblaster (err, y'know, whatever) and make a kill shot from 1,500 meters. Or how about the Broken Guy? You know him, too. Busted marriage. Ruined life. Drinks double-shots of 180 proof whiskey so he can escape the weight of the heinous crime his father committed three decades ago. As a lifelong crime fiction fan, I certainly knew these guys.
