After a four-month absence David Drysdale and his wife/caddy Vicky arrived home to a chilly Scotland aglow after the proud Scot secured full 2024 Asian Tour membership. Despite the final event disappointment of missing the PIF Saudi Open cut, the 48-year-old Asian Tour rookie had done enough to easily retain his card for next year.

If reports are correct then Paul McGinley’s recent transAtlantic audition for the vacant NBC TV hosting role may have be to no avail.

That’s the view according to Sports Business Journal naming the 43-year-old and former 2006 US Open winning Ogilvy as set to replace Paul Azinger for the next month’s opening event of the 2024 PGA Tour schedule.
