Tiger Woods seems to be already flexing his 15-majors winning muscles less than a week after being appointed the newest member of the PGA Tour Policy Board. It’s been reported by Adam Schupak, our good friend at GolfWeek , that Woods has helped rule out three leading PGA Tour events – his own Genesis Invitational, the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Jack Nicklaus hosted Memorial – from losing a 36-hole cut rule when the 2023/24 new season schedule is released next week.

  Justin Thomas joked he’s not going to write a love letter to USA Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson should he not qualify automatically for Rome.

The 2006 Open Championship was my first of now three ‘official’ visits to Royal Liverpool Golf Club. I have been fortunate to return to Hoylake in recent years as the Association of Golf Writers (AGW), and thanks to club secretary Simon Newland, have been hosted to tee-up each year at the famed club.  In contrast to this year’s ‘green top’, the Royal Liverpool course in 2006 was a strong brown colour, given it was a very dry England summer.  The fairways were rock-hard, playing more like ...
