Grand Slam winning Rory McIlroy has naturally not wasted any time in ‘ammending’ his X media account to reflect his new super statue in men’s professional golf. McIlroy has a new photograph, an overhead shot of the very moment he holed the winning first extra hole birdie putt to claim victory in the 89th Masters with McIlroy having dropped his putter to raise both arms victoriously into the air. As well, there’s a new caption on his ‘X’ account saying simply:  ...

It was 7th of October, 2007 when I stood beside a young freck-faced, curly-haired golfer named Rory McIlroy at the back of the 18th green on the Old Course at St. Andews. We stood there watching the third last pairing of Open Champions Paul Lawrie and Padraig Harrington completing their rounds in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Lawrie was standing over a birdie putt that if he holed it would tie him with McIlroy in then third place on 15-under-par. As we looked on, McIlroy commented:  “If ...

Rory McIlroy’s 11-year wait since capturing a third major at the 2014 PGA Championship in a quest to secure success in the only major championship he requires to join the most exclusive club in golf is now just 18 holes from fruition. McIlroy superbly stamped his enormous class and also reinforced his credentials as the New Year’s best in-form golfer brilliantly posting two eagles and four birdies in a third round second straight score of a six-under 66 to move two shots clear of the ...

It was around 4pm on the eve of the Masters and the final preview pieces ahead of the year’s maiden major had been filed. Those afforded invitations to tee-up in the next day’s opening round of the years maiden Major were away either competing in the Par-3 Contest or elsewhere doing what they had to do to prepare themselves for the tournament proper. Golf’s ‘Cathedral in the Pines’, as Augusta National is fondly called, was now closed to any further practice rounds ...

We all know that those teeing-up at the Masters are allocated a number and the number is displayed on the crisp white overalls worn by the player’s caddy. However, there’s only one player to carry number 1 and that is the defending champion, so this year Scottie Scheffler’s caddy will be sporting the No. 1 on his caddie overalls.

Top Scot Robert MacIntyre could not be prouder returning to the Masters for a first time in three years as a two-time PGA Tour champion. MacIntyre’s contested 86 tournaments, 87 if you count being a member of the winning Rome Ryder Cup side, since his last appearance at Augusta in sharing 23rd place in the 2022 hosting of the Masters. The Oban lefty had been a pro for five years before breaking through for a first time in the pro ranks with a 2017 MENA Tour triumph but having to wait three years ahead ...
