Big Jim's tip for 28 February: Tiger Woods
The Honda Classic is a great tournament. Last year it was the Rory and Tiger show and I see no reason why it should be any different this year. Forget last week, both of these men are champions and champions always come to the fore when it matters...

Big Jim’s weekend preview
It’s all about the golf this weekend. I have a feeling this is going to be a great tournament, so don’t plan anything for early Monday morning as you might want to be glued to the television. Don’t be fooled by the patchy form...

It’s going to be another hard night for the Warriors tonight who face a Knicks outfit bound for the playoffs. The New York faithful will be out in force to cheer on their success-starved team. The Knicks might just be the real deal this year...

Big Jim's tip for 26 February: Indiana Pacers
The Golden State Warriors have a tough few days ahead – it isn’t exactly perfect timing for a hard road trip against two of the better performing teams in the East. The Pacers have plenty to play for in this game and even though the Warriors...

Big Jim's weekend wrap
The hunt for the EPL title is rarely a cakewalk. This year it has been one-way traffic with Manchester United utterly dominating the competition. Their performance against the Queens Park Rangers this weekend was another perfect example of how you...

Girls get it on!
Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White once said women would never fight in the UFC. Dana is a smart guy and has no problem admitting when he is wrong. Not only have women made their debut in the sport, they headlined the main event in...
Big Jim's tip for 25 February: West Ham United
I really like this game – two London clubs going head to head always stirs up some emotion. The Hammers seem to be back on track after a midseason slump, and the Spurs are still fighting it out for their chance to have a crack at Europe’s...

Big Jim's tip for 24 February: Manchester City v Chelsea total goals under
This is, without doubt, the football highlight of the week. We wish this game meant a little more in regards to the premiership race, but that horse already appears to have bolted with Sir Alex steadily in the saddle. However, this match still...

Big Jim's tip for 23 February: Waratahs
There are two teams in the Super 15 which I usually steer clear of – the Waratahs and the Hurricanes. Both of these clubs seem to excel at getting things wrong. Everything points to the Reds tonight, as they have a game under their belt and are...

Big Jim's tip for 22 February: Stormers
Over the last five years these two teams have dominated South African rugby. On paper, it appears nothing much has changed and their two head to head battles this year might decide the South African conference. This might be the best time to face...

Big Jim's tip for 21 February: Tiger Woods
Let’s go all out and back Tiger to win this tournament. In the past, he has either been knocked out in the first round or he goes on to win it. He has won this event a total of three times and now that he is past his first round matchup...

Big Jim's tip for 20 February: Los Angeles Lakers
I’m going against the Celtics for the second night in a row. I just think they are about to feel the impact of losing their best player. It’s now or never for the Lakers. I know I’ve said this a few times before, but this time it...

Big Jim's tip for 19 February: Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets have an incredible home record this year with 21 wins and only 3 losses. If only they could win the odd game on the road. Well, tonight this won’t matter as the Nuggets host a Celtics outfit missing their star Rondo. The boys from...
