It's official  Rory McIlroy will not be playing in the Open championships next week. McIlroy, who suffered an ankle injury while playing soccer with friends over the weekend, announced he would not defend his Open championship.  McIlroy cited the desire to continue rehab in order to be totally healthy as the reason he will skip the Open next weekend in St. Andrews....

Will he play at St. Andrews?

Anyone remember the 90s movie Houseguest? Sinbad taught Phil Hartman (rest in peace) how to play speed golf. This video is nothing like speed golf. It's much better (and faster). From Phil Mickelson's first tee shot on the final day of the British Open, to the final birdie putt on 18. All of Leftie's Sunday shots (almost), in under 70 seconds.

Phil Mickelson won his first-ever Open Championship on Sunday, with a spectacular come-from-behind victory at Muirfield Golf Links, in Scotland.

The man known as "the best player never to have won a major" hit one of the luckiest golf shots of all-time in Round 1 of the British Open.

American golfer Robert Garrigus isn't near the top of the British Open leaderboard, but he is at the top of the highlights. Why? After driving a shot 400+ yards on a par 4, he nailed the best shot of the tournament. Check out this incredible 100-foot putt from the fairway.

The Open Championship begins Thursday morning, at Royal St. George's, in England.

Tiger Woods announced Tuesday that he would skip the British Open, citing irritation in his left knee and achilles tendon. His announcement was not a surprise. In a released statement, Tiger said, "Doctors have again advised rest, cold-water therapy and soft tissue treatment." Should Woods skip more than just the British Open? Would it be better for him in the long run to sit out the remainder of this year?
