TPC Boston, MA … Adam Scott returns to competition at this week’s Dell Technologies Championship in Boston excited to be the father now of two children but looking also to end an 18-month winless drought. The World No. 18 left Australia earlier this week following the birth of a first son that he and his wife, Marie named Byron. And contrary to many the Scott’s did not choose the name after a relative named Byron or Byron Bay and Australia’s most easterly point. “I could not be happier ...

Norton, MA …. It’s official Rory McIlroy prefers Starbucks to Dunkin Donuts. Bizarrely, McIlroy was quizzed on his favoured choice of morning coffee ahead of a best chance of ending a near 12-month winless drought at this week’s Dell Technology Championship near Boston. He singled out Starbucks although the fact is the HQ of Dunkin Donuts is located some 30 miles away in Canton, and it just might explain why there is so many Dunkin Donut outlets in the region while Starbucks HQ is located ...

Masters champion Sergio Garcia and his new wife, Angela are getting right behind fund-raising efforts for those affected by ‘Hurricane Harvey’ in Texas.

Garcia’s wife was born in Austin and the couple formally celebrated tying the knot in the Texan capital that has escaped the near 36 inches ...

Glen Oaks, NY …  Rory McIlroy got one thing correct at the close of the Northern Trust and the first event of the FedEx Cup Play-Off Series. No, it was not finishing just inside the top-40 following a no-frills final round two-over par 72 for a two-over tally on the Glen Oaks course at Old Westbury. And it wasn’t the fact he has jumped one place in moving to 43rd on the FedEx Cup standings but still 13 places shy of being among the top-30 for the defence of his September 21st starting Tour ...

A week after Geoff Ogilvy wrapped-up his PGA Tour card and Adelaide’s Wade Ormsby has gone closer to achieving the same on the European Tour. Ormsby bravely collected this second top-10 result in succession, and his third of the year, in sharing sixth place in the Made in Denmark. The 37-year old had stormed to a share of the lead on day one in the Danish event thanks to sizzling 64 and while he shot a day two 72, Ormsby superbly regrouped to add subsequent rounds of 67 and 69 for a 12-under ...

Glen Oaks, Long Island, NY … Rory McIlroy will head to the defence of his Deutsche Bank Championship on the outskirts of Boston later this week very confident the smallest club in his bag is not his biggest conern. With a round to contest in the Northern Trust on New York’s Long Island the World No. 4 trails in an uncharacteristic share of 34th place at one-under. But while McIlroy may be trailing nine shots behind fellow Open Champion, Jordan Spieth the Northern Irishman is near the ...

We’ve all heard of Kiawah Island, The Internatonal in Denver, PGA West , the Black Course at Bethpage Park, Pine Valley and Whistling Straits. But seriosuly who has heard of Tot Hill Farm?

In making my way into the Tot Hill Farm clubhouse here on one of ...
