The long nights of packing a pillow and blanket and then heading off in darkness looking to find a place to bed down for the night close to the opening tee of the Old Course at St. Andrews and then waking hoping to get to play the course some time the next day, will soon be a thing of the past. The Links Trust that adminster the handing out of tee-times to visitors have moved into the 21st Century by announcing a computerised tee-time draw to play the famed Old Course will be introduced from next ...

International Presidents Cup captain Mike Weir says it’s a shame in being advised by the PGA Tour that LIV Golfers will not be eligible to qualify for the event later this year at the Royal Montreal in Canada. Unlike the PGA of America that runs the US side of the Ryder Cup that last year allowed Brooks Koepka to pull on the USA team colours, the Presidents Cup held every other year is administered by the PGA Tour.

Scots Martin Laird and Robert MacIntyre have been strangely dropped from the entry list teeing-up in this week’s historic $20m Arnold Palmer Invitational at the Bay Hill club in Orlando. MacIntyre is now based just two miles from the host this week’s Florida course but instead he’s driven past the Bay Hill turnoff on route to the airport and joins Laird in this week’s Tour sanctioned event over 1,100 miles away in Puerto Rico.

‘Mr Ryder Cup’ Ian Poulter probably was stating the brutally obvious in declaring his days of playing in a European Team are over. Poulter’s now aged 48 and last pulled on the European team colours in 2021, a year proir to men’s professional golf being torn apart with the formation of LIV. ‘Poults’ is among many LIV stars who were deemed ineligible along with the likes of Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood after they resigned their DP World Tour memberships to sign ...

It was still windy on day two of the SDC Championship but making it even more tricky, as Scot Connor Syme said, was that it was blowing from the opposite direction on the St. Francis Links course at Eastern Cape in South Africa. Syme, 32, was out in the morning half of the draw and found himself in and out of the lead in the event over his opening nine holes thanks to three birdies and just the one dropped shot.

We are learning further details that Polish-born powerhouse golfer Adrian Meronk actually made-up his mind he wanted to join LIV Golf the very next day after being overlooked for 2023 European Ryder Cup team selection.
