Defending Carnoustie Open champion, Padraig Harrington believes Tiger Woods can capture a fourth Claret Jug this July on the ultra- tough Scottish course. Woods has confirmed he will tee-up in golf’s oldest Major for a first time since the 2015 Open and joins Harrington, who returned to Carnoustie Wednesday where he replayed the four play-off holes as he had done 11-years ago in claiming the first of three Majors. “Everyone will be glad to see him teeing-up at Carnoustie,” said Harrington. “We ...

Rory McIlroy has plenty of homework ahead of teeing-up in Thursday’s ultra-lucrative Players Championship. The double Wells Fargo champion left Quail Hollow after frustrating a display with McIlroy posting a last day 71 for a clubhouse share of 16th place at three-under par. McIlroy has posted earlier scores of 68, 76 and a third round 66. He managed three final day birdies, and the best being a 24-footer at the par-3 17th, but takig the gloss off his last round were bogeys at 11, 14 and then ...

Ireland’s Gavin Moynihan almost doubled his career earnings on the European Tour for two days’ work when he partnered Paul Dunne to victory in the second edition of GolfSixes. Moynihan, 23, who has not made a halfway cut in eight events this season, chipped in for a birdie on the first play-off hole to secure victory over South Korea in the semi-finals at Centurion Club in St Albans. The Irish pair then made three birdies and an eagle in the space of five holes to beat France’s Romain Wattel ...

Tiger Woods heads to this week’s Players Championship with an unwanted first in more than four years. Woods failed to record a solitary birdie in Wells Fargo Championship closing round of a three-over par 74 for a two-over tally that included 31 putts on the Quail Hollow course in suburban Charlotte. Not since the 2014 WGC – Cadillac Championship at Doral in Florida has the former long-time World No. 1 played a PGA Tour event without a birdie. And it was just the sixth time Woods has failed ...

Rory McIlroy sought to clarify the remarks he made on the eve of the Wells Fargo Championship in relation to the U.S. Open and the Open Championship. McIlroy was asked to reflect on his Masters disappointment on Wednesday saying:  “The Masters has now become the biggest golf tournament in the world and I’m comfortable saying that,” adding: “I don’t care about the US Open or the Open Championship, it is the biggest golf tournament in the world, the most amount of eyeballs, the most ...

Rory McIlroy is hopeful celebrating his 29th birthday (Friday) blowing out the candles with a 62 on day two of the Wells Fargo Championship. McIlroy, winner of the Charlotte event in 2010 and 2015, managed five birdies and dropped just two shots in an opening day three-under par 68 on the ‘feel good’ par-71 Quail Hollow course. McIlroy’s round matched a similar 68 he posted when last on the suburban Charlotte course but eight months on, the current World No. 7 is in a much better ...

We all know how badly Rory McIlroy wants to win the Masters but his remarks on the eve of the Wells Fargo Championship could sure ruffle the feathers of the likes of the USGA, the R & A and the PGA of America. Why? Because McIlroy, a winner of the U.S Open, the Open Championship and two victories in the PGA Championship, reckons the Masters is bigger than the other three Majors. McIlroy is yet to win the Masters, and the only Major he needs to capture to join the most exclusive club in the history ...
