Scotland’s Marc Warren boosted hopes of retaining his 2024 Tour card after a solid opening round at a very windswept Estrella Damm NA Andalucia Masters on Spain’s Costa del Sol. Warren, 42, managed four birdies in a two-under score of 70 to be trailing six shots behind England’s James Morrison, who grabbed an eagle and seven birdies in an eight-under 64 to lead by a shot on the host Sotogrande course at San Roque. The increasing winds forced officials mid-afternoon into directing all on-ground ...

Playing golf a few days a week for 52 weeks a year, and you thought you’ve played a lot of golf in a year. Well, can you beat 450 golf courses from the third day of January this year to now mid-October, and with still two-and-a-half months till the end of the year as that’s what US-based golf photographer Patrick Koenig has done. Koenig set a new world record for the most golf courses played in a year at 450 courses in walking off the 18th green at the Omni Interlocken in Broomfield, ...

Champion Aussie golfer Min Woo Lee is celebrating the 21st hosting of the Macau Open winning a third pro career title on three different continents. Lee, 25, was never headed over the four rounds of the prestigious Asian Tour title event in posting a closing score of 63 to win by two shots with a very impressive 30-under-par tally on the host Macau Golf and Country Club. The Perth golfer posted earlier rounds of 62, 64 and 65 to deny Thailand’s Poon Saksansin who matched Lee’s closing ...

Lone Scot David Drysdale brilliantly lit-up the opening round of the Asian Tour’s SJM Macao Open to share the lead with a bogey-free nine-under 62. The Asian Tour rookie proudly headed to the clubhouse after a round, and under a preferred lie rule, that produced nine birdies to be tied at the top with Aussie Min Woo Lee, and with Lee the current World No. 46 and highest-ranked in the field. Drysdale’s effort included an outward nine of 30 and with the Borders golfer producing four birdies ...

Tiger Woods’ name will forever be associated with the Old Course at the Home of Golf, especially after capturing back-to-back St. Andrews-hosted Open Championships in 2000 and 2005. However, not all seems to be happy in the Auld Grey Toon with news breaking earlier this week that Woods will team with good friend Justin Timberlake to open the second of their T-Squared upmarket sports bar and grill within the near 100-year-old New Picture House cinema located on North Street in St. Andrews. Fife ...

It’s time Tiger Woods stepped-up to accept the 2025 USA Ryder Cup captaincy. That’s the view of fellow American and good friend Billy Horschel in adding to a growing chorus that Woods would be the ideal candidate for the captaincy of the American side in two years time at Bethpage Park at Farmingdale on New York’s Long Island. Woods may have a poor Ryder Cup record in terms of Ryder Cup appearances, playing in just one winning Stars and Stripes team and that being in 1999 at ...

Padraig Harrington is on the committee to select the next European Ryder Cup captain and in singing the praise of victorious Rome captain Luke Donald he’s strongly backing Donald to stay on for 2025. Harrington was not in Rome instead, and somewhat disappointingly, Europe’s immediate past captain spent the weekend at home, glued to the couch watching TV coverage of Europe’s successful Roman conquest. “I was thrilled with the result last week .. Oh yes”, he said. “I was at home watching ...
