The first Royal Liverpool Open was in ...

Scot David Law may be returning home from Joburg a few days early than first anticipated but the Aberdonian can be proud of his efforts in the opening few events of his 2026 DP World Tour season. Just over a year ago the Scot was staring at the uncertainty of a 2025 tournament schedule after losing playing rights for the main DP World Tour, ending his 2024 season an agonising four places shy of retaining his card. Law accepted his plight and to his enormous credit he secured full 2025 playing status ...
