The golfer long known as the ‘Great White Shark’ is set to take a bigger bite out of the business world. Norman has revealed a company-wide re-brand to his 30-year-old organisation. And what was once known as Great White Shark Enterprises will now be called simply The Greg Norman company (GN). Norman’s re-positioning of his company from a mostly consumer-facing brand to one that will expand to business-to-business services was an idea that began some 18 months ago, and has involved ...

Scotland’s Craig Lee is now under even more pressure to fight off the vultures and hang onto his European Tour heading into this week’s Portugal Masters at Vilamoura. The Stirling golfer tees-up this afternoon (THUR) lying in 110th place (See * below) on the Race to Dubai money list and right on the cut-off mark for those wishing to retain 2017 Tour membership. And the £2.68m Portugal event is the last ‘regular’ 2016 tournament for the likes of Lee and others seeking to retain ...

Paul Dunne is not about to left short-changed playing ‘credit card roulette’ this week as the young Irish pro banks on cementing  full 2017 Tour membership at this week’s Portugal Masters. Dunne first needs to make the cut on the host Oceanico Victoria course and then finish far better than last year’s near-cellar dwelling 64th place if he’s to be playing a full season in the New Year. He dropped three spots to 102nd on the Race to Dubai in not contesting last week’s British Masters ...

Padraig Harrington tees up today in the Portugal Masters at Vilamoura but with Georgia clearly on his mind. Harrington is making his sixth showing in the event since his debut in 2009 and the same year of his best finish of third. And while the Dubliner is still looking for his first win on European soil since capturing the 2008 Open Championship there’s the goal also of getting himself back inside the top-50 by the end of next March and if so, into the 2017 Masters. Harrington will tee-up on the ...

It is very much the ‘Last Chance Saloon’ for the Australian threesome of Jason Schrivener, Richard Green and Brett Rumford teeing up in this week’s Portugal Masters at Vilamoura on the Portuguese sun-splashed Algarve. The Portugal Masters is the last ‘regular’ event on the European Tour schedule and all four are outside the cut-off point of 110th on the Race to Dubai money list. The three need to first make the cut in the Euro 3m event and then be inside the top-110 ...

With thoughts of his ailing father occupying his mind, Joe Heraty kept his composure to win the inaugural Sahara Kuwait Championship, providing a fitting climax to a fantastic week of golf at the MENA Golf Tour’s inaugural event in the city on Wednesday. The 25-year- old Englishman closed with a bogey-free five-under 65 to finish at 13-under par, two clear of his compatriot Daniel Owen, who signed for a brilliant six-under 64 to climb up the leaderboard. It was Chile’s Matias Calderon, who ...
