It is remarkable that 25 years have now passed – October 25th, 1999 – when Payne Stewart and five others tragically lost their lives. There is sadness in everyone’s life in losing a loved-one or a close friend but when it comes to the loss of someone with whom you have met in the course of your work, and a person with whom you also had estabished a warm rapport and friendship, then it kind of makes it all a little different.  . That’s what I have always said about working ...

“Be Part Of The Magic” was the promo running all the way down both sides of the Emirates A380 airliner carrying some 70 Race to Dubai players along with caddies and officials that flew last Sunday from Spain and touching down some 16 hours later in Seoul, South Korea. The charter flight carried the hopes of all seeking to satisfy different goals in this week’s official final ‘regular’ event of the 2024 DP World Tour season ahead two limited field UAE events in the first ...

Top Scottish golfer Grant Forrest has revealed his expectant wife is due to give birth to the couple’s first child on the final day of next month’s DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. Forrest and wife Christy were married in January in a lavish ceremony at Archerfield House and not far from where the couple now reside. However, despite the wonderful out-pouring of joy at the wedding ceremony it’s not been, and by Forrest’s own admission, his best golfing season and capped by ...

Recent headlines of spectator price rises for the hosting of the 2025 Ryder Cup took my mind back a good few years and the day we were extended the invitation to tee-up on the famed host Bethpage Park Black course. Actually, it was just over six years ago the PGA of America generously arranged a media outing in August 2018 ahead of the 2019 PGA Championship, and when Brooks Koepka was handed the Rodman Wanamaker trophy for a second straight year. I had taken photographs from the outing that I found ...

Four Scots will touch down in far-off South Korea tomorrow afternoon (Monday 21st October local Seoul time) with more than this week’s Genesis Championship, and third last event of the season, on their collective minds. Gleneagles-attached Calum Hill seeks to cement his place in the final two events of the season taking place next month in the UAE while Richie Ramsay and Scott Jamieson will be desperate to extend their season at least into the first of the two and that being the November 7th commencing ...

Surname-sake Michael Maguire has brilliantly claimed the biggest victory of his professional career in climbing to the summit of the Asian Tour’s Black Mountain Championship in Thailand. In an all-American play-off Maguire defeated compatriot John Catlin at the second extra hole after both players ended regulation play tied at the top of the leaderboard on 23-under-par. Maguire brilliantly got up-and-down from a greenside bunker for birdie at the 72nd hole in his round of 65 before claiming ...

Belgian Thomas Detry was singing the praise of playing partner Bob MacIntyre after the pair combined to share eighth place at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Detry and MacIntyre were sharing the lead with five holes to play before a pair of bogeys at 15 and 17 jolted their victory quest before posting a 69 in a four-round 22-under-par tally on the host TPC Louisiana course. Their combined effort earned the Scot and Belgian $150,000 each behind the all-Irish winning duo of Rory McIlroy and Shane ...
