While Tiger Woods spoke confidently stating that if ‘everything comes together, I think I can get one more’ Masters victory the 15-time major champion also revealed another trait of his determination. Somewhat lost in Woods near 25-minute press conference ahead of this week’s 88th hosting of the Masters was a question put to Woods some 20 minutes into his interview. And it entailed what Woods saw as his role in his later years in attending the Masters, that time in his career when ...

If there is one thing in professional golf we’ve learnt and that is not to discount anything Tiger Woods says. Five years ago we learnt this when Woods ended an 11-year majors winning drought in capturing a fifth members green jacket with victory at the 2019 Masters. Now a 48-year-old Woods has returned to the Masters for a 26th occasion since his debut as an amateur in 1995 declaring he can win a sixth green jacket and 16th major title, despite detailing the pain he faces on the vast majority ...

We must remember there is not just one Irishman competing this week at The Masters but there’s two. Shane Lowry is making a ninth Augusta National appearance having brilliantly shared third place two years ago with Rory McIlroy and while the golf world wonders whether McIlroy can finally break through to win a Masters, Lowry is equally determined when stating he would “give anything” to become the first Irishman to pull on the green jacket. Determined that he is not here to make ...

World No. 1 and past Masters champion Scottie Scheffler along with good friend Sam Burne will be hoping their first born will stick with the predicted birth and don’t arrive early this week while each are contesting the Masters. Scheffler and wife Meredith are expecting their first child in some three weeks and if all goes to plan that will be the week of the Zurich Classic in New Orleans. Burns’ wife is also excitedly looking forward to becoming a father and with his wife, Caroline due ...

Sadly, it’s now official and for the first time in 40-years there will be no Scottish-born golfer teeing-up in this week’s 88th hosting of The Masters. Denver-based Scot Martin Laird was Scotland’s last chance of securing victory in yesterday’s (Sunday) concluding Valero Texas Open that would have earned him the last invitation into The Masters. However Laird crashed out posting a closing round 73 and tumble down the board for an even par tally and a distant share of 51st place on the host ...

Super Spaniard Sergio Garcia is heading to the Masters after the disappointment of a third LIV Golf play-off loss after South African Dean Burmester birdied the second extra play-off hole on the ‘Blue Monster’ course at Trump Doral. Garcia, 44, holed a monster birdie putt at the 53rd hole but then made a mess of the last walking off with a bogey to fall back into a tie at 11-under Burmester and with Garcia signing for a closing 70 and Burmester an equal best on the last day for a 68. Burmester, ...

For seven years now good friends Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth have shared something in common. That’s how long Northern Irishman and the Texan have waited to capture the one major in their career they require to join golf’s elite Grand Slam Club. Of course, it’s been nearly a decade since 2014 when McIlroy endeared himself to Open Championship fans by winning golf’s oldest major on the windswept Royal Liverpool course laid out along the Irish Sea. McIlroy’s triumph ...
