Patrick Reed is again knocking on the Hero Dubai Desert Classic victory door in posting a superb six-under 66 to move two shots clear of the field with the early clubhouse lead on day two of the event in Dubai. The proud Texan superbly capped his round holing a monster 42-foot eagle ‘3’ putt at the par-5 13th that he was playing as his 14th while also recording four birdies for a 36-hole, nine-under tally in the year’s inagurual Rolex Series event again on the host Emirates Club ...

Graeme McDowell has always been one of the more listened to golfers. Ever since he burst onto the DP World Tour winning a first event at just his fourth event at the Scandinavian Masters, McDowell’s been a golfer that when he talks most listen. I quickly learned this in just McDowell’s fourth DP World Tour on route to him capturing the 2004 Scandinavian Masters in Malmo, Sweden. I was then writing for three Irish newspapers, so a McDowell victory was back page news in all three. When ...

Flying Fin Lauri Ruuska was in sizzling form setting a new tournament course record 62 to capture the inaugural hosting of the Egypt Golf Series New Gize at the host New Giza club in Cairo. Ruuska was bogey-free in collecting 10 birdies to be out in 30 and home in 32, winning the MENA Tour event by shot at 14-under from England’s Charlie Crockett. Two players – Italian Aron Zemmer (68) and Slovenia’s Zan Luka Stirn (69), who led the first round by two, shared third. Super talented ...

While this year marks the 37th hosting of the Dubai Desert Classic there is also two special ‘events’ that took place at the tournament 20-years ago. Firstly, the 2006 hosting of the Dubai Desert Classic is probably more remembered as the year World No. 1 Tiger Woods won the Dubai Desert Classic for a first of two occasions. Woods had made his Dubai debut in 2004, won in 2006, played again in 2007 and then won for a second time in 2008 while returning to tee-up again in 2011, 2014 and ...

ADDABBO TAKES CONTROL AT EGYPT GOLF SERIES NEW GIZA Italian fires 66 to lead by one heading into final round Cairo, Egypt – 20 January 2026: Italy’s Ludovico Addabbo carded a six-under-par 66 to take a one-shot lead into the final round of the maiden Egypt Golf Series New Giza at the New Giza Golf Club in Cairo. The 27-year-old, who won the PGA Aroeira Challenge wire-to-wire in November for his first professional victory, moved to ten under par overall as he bids to close the gap on MENA ...

Tommy Fleetwood is one of the more affable golfers to be around. From the time this journalist was present in 2013 at Gleneagles when Fleetwood was holding aloft the trophy of a first DP World Tour victory, and with his much-loved ailing dog Maisie beside him, to more than a decade on in having captured 10 world titles and been a proud member of two winning European Ryder Cup sides, Fleetwood’s not changed. Of course, Fleetwood’s latest individual taste of success at the 2025 PGA Tour Championship ...

Patrick Reed had probably the most simpliest of replies involving one of more complicated scenarios currently in men’s pro golf, and that was being quizzed if he would consider following fellow countryman Brooks Koepka in also rejoining the PGA Tour. “Of course. I mean, if it’s up to me, I’ll play everywhere”, said Reed after speaking to the Telegraph during last week’s Dubai Invitational. “I’m already playing on three tours, so why should I want to add ...
