Not great, my friend! Not great at all. A sampling: As of this writing, Woods has played 16 of his opening-round holes, and sits at four over par. That puts him ahead of just two players—Rod Pampling and Kevin Streelman—on the leader board. But even that depressing fact doesn’t quite capture how miserable Tiger’s round has been: It gets worse: Tiger Woods hasn’t won a major since 2008. Everyone dies. Video via TBL

Porto have confirmed Jackson Martinez s move to Atletico Madrid has taken a step closer after the Liga club met the release clause in his contract.
The striker has been widely tipped to leave the Stadio Dragao after three years in Portugal, with Atletico, Arsenal and Milan all linked with a move.
However, last week the Spanish club emerged as favourites to land the 28-year-old, with Martinez telling reporters at the Copa America he would sign a four-year deal in Madrid.
And Porto have now confirmed to the Portuguese Securities and Market Commission that Atletico have activated the €35million clause in his contract, paving the way for talks to begin over his transfer.
Martinez has scored 92 goals in 136 appearances for Porto, helping them to one Primeir…
Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho believes his decision to omit Iker Casillas was a success despite his side s 3-2 loss to Malaga.
Mourinho s selection of Antonio Adan between the sticks instead of the club captain caused many fans to raise eyebrows, and Real subsequently lost at La Rosaleda Stadium.
But Mourinho played down the defeat and hailed the influence of coaches in modern day football.
Maybe it looked like a bad week, but the outcome was fantastic, he told reporters in the United Arab Emirates.
Football changes greatly, but there is one thing that doesn t – the teams continue to be picked by the coaches.
Real return to Champions League action in February against 2010/11 finalists Manchester United in the last 16 of the competition.
Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Kevin Trapp could be returning to German Bundesliga as early as this winter, Le Parisien has claimed.
The highly rated shot-stopper is far from happy with his current status in the squad having lost the starting berth to Alphonse Areola and he is determined to leave the club at the earliest opportunity.
It remains to be seen whether Paris Saint-Germain will be ready to grant his wish, but there has already been some interest in his services.
Le Parisien has learned that Bundesliga outfits Wolfsburg and Leipzig are hot on the trail of the 26-year-old footballer, and they could step up their interest in the January transfer window.
After impressing for Kaiserslautern and Eintracht Frankfurt, Trapp was sold to Paris Saint-Ge…
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea admitted a thousand things can happen while he is on World Cup duty with Spain as he stopped short of ruling out a move away from the club during the transfer window.
The 27-year-old has long been a target for Real Madrid and speculation is rife that he might join the Champions League winners ahead of the 2018-19 season.
In seven years at Old Trafford, De Gea has become a firm fans favourite and one of Jose Mourinho s most important players, but he would not be drawn on his future at the club.
My future? The important thing is the World Cup and not to think of anything else that can divert you or upset you, De Gea told reporters at Spain s World Cup training camp.

Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 on Sunday at the City Ground to strengthen their hold on a Champions League qualification spot.
Goals in either half from Antony and Diogo Dalot were enough to take Erik ten Hag s men up to third in the Premier League table, overtaking Newcastle United after their defeat at Aston Villa on Saturday.
Forest – without a win in 10 – remain in the relegation zone, behind Everton on goal difference.
United s injury issues lengthened further after Marcel Sabitzer pulled up with a groin problem in the warm-up, with Christian Eriksen replacing him in the starting line-up, but that did not appear to weaken the Red Devils.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s controversial red card in Everton’s FA Cup third-round clash at Crystal Palace last week has been rescinded, the Football Association has announced.
The striker was facing a three-game ban after being dismissed following a challenge on Palace defender Nathaniel Clyne during the goalless draw at Selhurst Park last Thursday.
Referee Chris Kavanagh initially took no action after contact with Clyne appeared minimal but later sent the 26-year-old off following a VAR review.

Everton announced their intention to appeal against the decision the following day and that challenge has proved successful.
A statement from the FA read: “Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be available for Evert…
England manager Roy Hodgson says Tottenham defender Michael Dawson fully deserves his call-up to the national squad.
The 29-year old has only received four senior international caps since his debut against Hungary in a friendly in August 2010.
But after consistently impressing at the heart of Andre Villas-Boas defence this season, Dawson has been included in the England squad for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Montenegro.
Michael (Dawson) is in the squad on this occasion in the same way as Rio (Ferdinand) is in the squad on this occasion, because I think their performances merit them being there, Hodgson told Sky Sports News.
Michael hasn t really been a part of my thinking in the past because, to be frank, he hasn t been fit enoug…
Celtic make the short journey to Paisley on Saturday to take on St Mirren in their Scottish Cup quarter-final tie, just a week after the Parkhead side thrashed the Buddies in the league.
A second-half collapse by ten-men St Mirren saw them ship seven goals to the Old Firm giants with Japanese international Shunsuke Nakamura hitting a hat-trick in the match.
Now the Paisley side have a chance for revenge in the Scottish Cup as they host the Hoops at New St Mirren Park for the first time.
The Buddies are unbeaten at their new home and will want to restore some pride as they look to win the cup for the first time since 1987.
After struggling for form in 2009 Celtic added to their confidence-building win against St Mirren with a mid-week victory over Kilmarn…
that a host of top European sides are readying January bids for AS Roma defender Antonio Rudiger.
The German centre-back has impressed since joining the Giallorossi from Stuttgart and he has caught the eye of quite a few high-profile clubs in the process.
The latest reports suggest that AS Roma are ready to entertain offers for their star player as they need money from the sale to comply with FIFA Financial Fair Play rules.
French giants Paris Saint-Germain are believed to be keen on the 23-year-old footballer, but English Premier League remains his most likely next destination.
Namely, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool all have Rudiger on their respective wish lists, and they will certainly be encouraged by the latest news.

UEFA has confirmed it has lifted the restrictions on transfer spending and Champions League squad sizes on Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.
Both City and PSG competed in last season s Champions League with just 21 players instead of the usual 25 and also had their spending capped at £49million for breaches of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
