11/4/00 -- Darren Clarke has already made enough money this year to buy a fleet of luxury automobiles. However, a win this week could provide the Ulsterman with a pair of Volvos.
11/4/00 -- Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh - who have combined to win all four majors this season - will renew their budding rivalry in the final round at the East Lake Golf Club.
11/3/00 -- Sweden’s Pierre Fulke leads through two rounds of the Volvo Masters, but it’s a handful of other names that are garnering most of the attention.
11/3/00 -- In one month, David Duval and Tiger Woods will be playing side-by-side as teammates at the WGC-EMC World Cup.

10/29/00 -- James Joseph Waldorf, Jr. was anything-but a duffer Sunday at the National Car Rental Classic at Walt Disney World. Waldorf fired a flawless 10-under-par 62 to better 54-hole leader Steve Flesch by one shot
10/29/00 -- Spike McRoy did it all on Sunday. He won the Buy.Com Tour Championship in record fashion. He captured first-place on the season-ending money list. And, most importantly, he collected his 2001 PGA Tour card.
10/29/00 -- Gordon Brand, Jr. made one mistake on Sunday and it cost him a chance to win his first European Tour event in seven years. Instead, it was rookie Ian Poulter who stepped into the winner’s circle for the first time at the Italian Open.
10/28/00 -- Rookie Ian Poulter all-but secured himself a spot in next week’s Volvo Masters in the third round of the Italian Open. Poulter fired a 7-under-par 65 on Saturday to take a three-shot lead into the final round in Sardinia, Italy.

10/27/00 -- The Italian Open is the final full-field event of the season on the European Tour - the final chance for players to earn their 2001 playing privileges
10/26/00 -- Tiger Woods doesn’t have to worry about keeping his PGA Tour card. He doesn’t have to fret about qualifying for the Tour Championship. But that doesn’t mean Woods is without motivation at this week’s National Car Rental Classic at Walt Disney World.
10/26/00 -- Graduating from the Buy.Com Tour to the PGA Tour is difficult enough; the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail course certainly doesn’t help.
10/25/00 -- The last time we saw Tiger Woods in a play-for-pay event was six weeks ago. He stuck a six-iron from 218 yards out of a fairway bunker over water to win the Bell Canadian Open.

10/20/00 -- Here that sound? That’s the collective sigh of relief from Presidents Cup officials, television executives and Peter Thomson.
