Tiger Woods says he won't play the British Open as his left leg continues to heal....

NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA. – Tiger Woods showed up Tuesday at Aronimink Golf Club for his own tournament without golf clubs, a walking boot, crutches, a noticeable limp or any stated timetable for his return to competitive play. He has, apparently, developed two things during his ever-lengthening absence: a beard, and a sense of patience.

Rory McIlroy enjoyed a triumphant march Sunday to his first major title as a two-under-par 69 gave him a eight-shot victory in the U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club in Maryland.

Play has started in the final round of the U.S. Open, and it will take something monumental to prevent Rory McIlroy from winning the trophy....

Webb Simpson made five birdies over his first 10 holes of the third round of the U.S. Open and he was still 10 shots behind Rory McIlroy.

An unusual round of golf won't solve the Republican-Democratic budget battles, but it could lead to better relations between the White House and Congress. The president prefers a laid-back round on a Sunday morning.

When Tiger Woods announced Tuesday that he would not compete in next week’s U.S. Open, a whole lot of casual interest in the year’s second major went out the window. Or, considering the heat in the area, in the window. That deflated interest was first expressed all over the Internet – Twitter, blogs and all of that jazz were bombarded with comments from Internet Tough Guys saying that the Open didn’t mean much to them without Woods.

Tiger Woods limped off the golf course and into a future that is murkier than ever Thursday when he withdrew with leg injuries after his worst nine holes at The Players Championship.

The exciting conclusion to the Masters gave CBS an early primetime bump, but even without that minor demo hike, the network still would have won Sunday thanks to "Undercover Boss," "The Amazing Race" and more.

Tiger Woods almost borrowed another page Sunday from Jack Nicklaus. A quarter century after Nicklaus won arguably the greatest Masters after being written off, Woods was in a similar position as his childhood idol.
