Open Champion Cam Smith believes the move by the four bodies organising the men’s majors to now include LIV players could have come sooner. We finally had news yesterday that the R & A has now joined the PGA of America, Augusta National and the USGA in opening the entry door, albeit slightly, to all LIV Golf League members to compete. The St. Andrews based R & A indicated the leading five players on LIV’s individual standings following its Dallas tournament in late June, who were ...

The work needed to repair the broken bridges in the men’s professional game is slowly underway though it’s not PGA Tour related. Firstly it was the PGA of America last September, and as organisers of the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup when on US soil, advising all LIV Golfers will be eligible for the annual PGA Championship and also the USA Ryder Cup team, either qualifying automatically or as a captain’s pick Earlier this year, Augusta National opened their 2025 Masters doors ...

Top-Scot Robert MacIntyre may have found a novel way to win over USA Ryder Cup fans later this year and that’s by tossing gifts of a wrapped Shinty shirt and a $20 bill to fans as he did during the WM Phoenix Open in Arizona. MacIntyre posted a frustrating final round 67 for a three-way share of 6th place at 15-under but only after being three-under for his day through seven holes and then only managing to birdie just one of the remaining 11 holes and that being at the 12th on the host TPC ...

LIV Golf star Adrian Meronk has led from start to finish to claim a two shot victory in the LIVGolf Riyadh title in Saudi Arabia. Last year’s Poland No. 1 sports star succeeded in the opening event of the 2025 LIV Golf season and also played under lights in the Saudi Arabian capital. Despite a couple of hiccups over the final round the LIV Crushers star was never headed in posting rounds of 62, 66 and a closing 71 for his 17-under-par triumph. “This win is pretty special as I was nervous ...

After just two years, it seems common sense has prevailed with the Australian Open men’s and women’s golf championships reversing back to being staged separately … a decision this journalist, who attended a first Australian Open in the early 1980s, overwhelmingly applauds. Golf Australia, and the body charged with running both the men’s and women’s Australian Open titles, has made the decision to end the events being played concurrently on the same courses, as has been the scenario ...

Richie Ramsay proved he’s no ‘Spring Chicken’ drawing on past experience to drain a testy last hole par putt in tough conditions and keep the Saltire flying high over the weekend rounds of the CB Qatar Masters in Doha. Ramsay signed for a one-under 71 to be among 15 players to make the cut right on the one-under 36-hole tally mark on the testing wind blown host Doha Golf Club course. England’s Brandon Robinson-Thompson is again knocking on victory, finding the green at the short par-4 16th and ...

Past champ Ewen Ferguson’s wretched new season continues with the former champion with a continuing neck injury forcing him to wihdray after just six holes on day one of the CB Qatar Masters in Doha. Ferguson, 28, was out in the morning half of the draw but was soon on the back foot when he found a fairway bunker down the right side of the 11th hole that he was playing as his second.​ A three-putt from the front of the green handed him a bogey ‘5’ ahead of three pars before the obvious ...
