.… Albany, The Bahamas  It is an old expression, and it was an expression I recall double English-born World 500cc motor-bike champion Barry Sheene once used and that is ‘the people you pass on the way up, you ​​pass on the way back down’. It’s an expression one c​​ould use in all walks of life and Sheene drew on the phrase in describing a rival, who clearly was intent of caring little about those around him and focussed solely on riding his way to a championship title. Of course, ...

We now know more details of double Masters winning Scottie Scheffler’s very early Monday morning celebration back home in his beloved Dallas. Golf fans were made aware earlier this week that it was from the sports bar at the Inwood Tavern, on Inwood Road near Lovers Lane in Dallas where a Facebook photograph was posted of Scheffler, wearing his Augusta National members green jacket along what looks like an Inwood Tavern cap while also dressed in his Sunday golfing attire as he stands alongside ...

It speaks volumes how far Ludvig Aberg has come in such a short time that only a year ago he was ranked a lowly 905th in the world.

The 24-year-old’s effort behind Scottie Scheffler in the 88th hosting of the Masters is the equal best finish by a Swedish-born ...

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was simply masterful winning a second Augusta National title. Scheffler, 27 was also very much in a class of his own posting a closing round of 68 to comfortably win by four shots at 11-under  and be fitted with a second Augusta National members green jacket in three years. As well, Scheffler becomes the 18th multiple Masters winner in the 88th hosting of the championship. The Texas-born Scheffler headed into the final round of the year’s maiden major showing ...

In any other golf tournament when the defending champion plays poorly he or she usually cannot get off the golf course and away from the host club as quickly as they can. Not at The Masters. The Masters has a rich tradition and something that Jon Rahm respects despite producing his poorest showing in eight Augusta appearances. As the 87th Masters winner Rahm had to wait around to help fit an Augusta National members jacket on a new winner, and just as Scottie Scheffele had done so 12 months ago ...

Tiger Woods was clearly staying positive by confirming he will contest the three remaining major championships of 2024 – US PGA Championship at Valhalla, US Open at Pinehurst and the 152nd Open Championship in July at Royal Troon.
