Video: Phil Mickelson tumbles at Pebble

By Alex Myers How tough is life on the PGA Tour? One week you're setting scoring records in a wire-to-wire win and the next? You're missing the cut and falling on your butt on national TV. Unfortunately for Phil Mickelson, that last part wasn't a metaphor. Mickelson, in danger of missing the cut after three rounds at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, took a risky line on his tee shot at Pebble's No. 18. But his search to find his golf ball in the hazard proved to be even riskier: Mickelson never found his ball and wound up hitting another shot into the ocean on his way to a closing triple bogey, which ended his week earlier than he wanted. Yes, even for one of the game's all-time greats, life on the PGA Tour can be a bit, um, rocky. . .

Video: Nike's new commercial a big hit

By Alex Myers It's far too early in the season to declare a winner among golf equipment companies based on sales or performance by sponsored tour pros. In the area of advertising, though, Nike has jumped out in front. Related: A look at the funniest golf commercials First, there was the commercial featuring Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy engaged in friendly competition on a practice range released last month. And now this gem for the company's Covert driver, which once again features Tiger. Sorry, make that "Mr. Tiger." Check it out: Related: Check out Golf Digest's 2013 Hot List Equipment Guide Of course, we'd suggest not hitting into the group in front of you, especially if it contains a 14-time major champion known for hitting the gym. But if it happens by accident, like in the ad, it's probably best to be polite.

ESPN's Mike Greenberg takes ill, seeks comfort in March issue of Golf Digest

By Brendan MohlerMany of you probably know Mike Greenberg from ESPN's "Mike & Mike In The Morning", where Greenberg and former NFL defensive lineman Mike Golic discuss the world of sports. According to the Twitter feeds of Greenberg (@ESPNgreeny) and his wife, Stacy (@StacyGSG), Mike is home sick on Thursday, but not without some quality reading material. Stacy tweeted this picture of Mike in bed with the March issue of Golf Digest, also known as the Hot List.We wish Greeny a speedy recovery, but at least he'll be an expert on the newest clubs hitting the market this year by the time he's feeling 100%. At worst, he'll pick up some tips on sand shots, learn to perfect his posture, and study the Golf Digest 50 (Ron Sirak's annual ranking of golf's top money makers). Greeny's handicap in 2008 was 17.5, so there's definitely some room for improvement. According to his Q&A with Matt Ginella in 2008, Greenberg is addicted to two things: golf and the New York Jets. We all know golf can be frustrating, but there's no comparison to being a Jets fan. Better keep working on your short game, Greeny.Follow @BrendanMohlerGW

Inside the numbers: Will these PGA Tour pros keep it up?

By Alex Myers The PGA Tour is still so young, most people aren't even aware it's started. Still, with the first five tournaments of 2013 in the books -- the last two of which were won by arguably the sport's two biggest names -- there's been plenty of golf to analyze. Here we present three stats that jump out so far, and take a stab at whether or not they can hold up as the year goes on: Player: Russell Henley Stat: 1.574 strokes gained/putting (1st) Will he keep it up? Yes. Well, not to the number itself, but to Henley continuing to putt well. Since strokes gained putting became an official stat, the season-ending leaders have been Luke Donald (.844 in 2011) and Brandt Snedeker (.860 in 2012). Henley can really roll it, but a 1.574 seems a bit high, unless the rookie has some sort of magic putter. It did seem that way, though, as the University of Georgia product had seven one putts on the final nine holes of his Sony Open win, including pouring in birdies on the last four holes. Following that performance, his caddie, Todd Gjesvold, called Henley the "best putter I've ever seen." OK, so that could be a little kissing up to the boss, but you get the point.  Player: Nick Watney Stat: 80.3% greens in regulation (3rd) Will he keep it up? No. Other than in 2008, when he was 16th at 68.23%, Watney hasn't finished better than 30th in this category. The past two years, he's been consistent, but slightly better than mediocre, finishing 54th in both 2011 and 2012. Then again, he did switch equipment companies in the offseason, so perhaps his new Nike clubs are really making a difference. If he keeps this up, the Swoosh might have to shoot some new commercials. The Week In Golf: Phil, DJ, Pebble, and... Kate Upton? Player: Charles Howell III Stat: 69.114 scoring average (1st) Will he keep it up? The jury is still out. A lot has been expected from CH3 since he burst onto the scene more than a decade ago. While he's had a very solid career with nearly $25 million in on-course earnings, he hasn't fully delivered on the promise he showed as an NCAA champion at Oklahoma State. Shortly after, he won the 2002 Michelob Championship to highlight a year in which he finished ninth on the PGA Tour's money list, but he's added just one win since (2007 Northern Trust Open). Maybe 2013 will finally be the breakout year. Howell already has a playoff loss to Brian Gay at the Humana, a T-3 at the Sony and a T-9 at Torrey Pines. Keep in mind that at 33, he's the same age Phil Mickelson was when people were still wondering if he'd ever take his game to the next level.
