Koepka Responds To PGA Tour ‘Player Of The Year’ Snub.
Four-time Major winning Brooks Koepka has responded to being snubbed by his fellow PGA Tour peers after rival Rory McIlroy was awarded the ‘2010 PGA Tour Player of the Year’ award.
McIlroy’s choice for the award following the close of the 2018/19 PGA Tour season came as somewhat as a surprise but then the No. 1 vote for the Northern Irishman also reflected just how popular he is on the PGA Tour.
This is stark contrast to the ‘stone cold’ demeanour Koepka exhibits whether ...

Padraig Harrington has arrived in Wisconsin for the 2020 Ryder Cup ‘Year-To-Go’ ceremony with two former victorious European Team captains urging the Irishman stay ‘his own man’.

McIlroy Again Finds Himself Defending Early Season PGA Tour Move & Hints Doing The Same In 2020.
Some nine months on and Rory McIlroy again found himself somewhat justifying his 2019 early season decision not to re-join the European Tour and instead focus the start of a new year for a first time in his career on the PGA Tour.
McIlroy’s decision raised more than a few eyebrows and with many quick to criticise the four-time Major winner not staying loyal the European Tour’s ‘Desert Swing, and where for all but one season in his pro career, he had begun a New Year.
The four-time Major winner ...
McIlroy Slams Set-Up Of European Tour Courses After Lowly Dunhill Links Finish
Rory McIlroy has taken a huge pot shot at the European Tour slamming the set-up of the golf courses following a no-frills top-30 showing at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland.
McIlroy struggled from the outset in posting a 70 last Thursday on Carnoustie and while he managed a 66 on day two at Kingsbarns Links, weekend rounds of 70 and 67 over the famed Old Course left himself too much to do over the closing two days of the Euro 4.5m event.
The World No. 2 was jetting home to his luxury ...

Individually, McIlroy struggled on day three in the bright but windy conditions on the Old Course in posting a two-under par 70 for a 10-under par tally and a distant share of 40th place and 10 shots off the lead.
It’s a far different story in the team competition with the McIlroy’s sharing ...
