US
PGA Tour : SEI Pennsylvania Classic
After
another Tiger Woods tour win at the Bell Canadian Open, the field at the SEI
Pennsylvania Classic at the Waynesborough Country Club in Paoli, Pennsylvania,
will be delighted that the biggest name in golf won't be appearing on the
leader-board this weekend.
By picking up
the title in Oakville, Ontario, Tiger became the first player since Lee Trevino
(1971) to win the US, British and Canadian Opens in a single season.

European
Tour : Trophee Lancome
Vijay
Singh - the reigning Masters champion and the only man apart from Tiger Woods
to win a major event this year - will be returning to St. Nom-la-Breteche
this week in an attempt to recapture the title he won back in 1994. The
amiable Fijian will be joined by several of the biggest names on the European
Tour including Ian Woosnam, Jose Maria Olazabal, Nick Faldo, Paul Lawrie and
Seve Ballesteros.

Ten 2 Watch:
Player Profiles
Golf is a notoriously
difficult game to call and with so many good players hitting the greens on both
sides of the Atlantic, it's often hard to tell where the next champion will come
from. But over the course of a year — and especially in the Majors —
the great players seem to have the ability to rise inexorably to the top. So for
the inside line on which names to look out for on the leaderboard, check out Sportlist's
exclusive guide to the ten best golfers on the circuit.

Tiger Woods:
Simply the best?
Well, where
do we go from here? Tiger Woods is now the youngest man ever to complete
a career grand slam of the four major tournaments — and at 24 he has
time to eclipse every record in the game of golf.
The majors have
traditionally been close-run affairs, with a player nudging a couple of strokes
clear of the field to clinch a trophy late on in the final round — while
Tiger has won his grand slam by a staggering total of 36 shots.
