  Aussie Cam Smith brilliantly birdied five of seven closing holes in a blistering seven-under 63 on the opening day in the 67th hosting of the Hong Kong Open. Smith’s effort, and in his first appearance in the premier Asian Tour event in nine-years, has him tied for the lead with Spaniard Eugenio Chacarra and with the pair one clear of the field on the Hong Kong Golf Club course in suburban Fanling. Chacarra matched Smith’s effort also with five birdies over his inward nine. Smith ...

Cameron Smith has ended a nine-year tournament absence as he seeks to become the 15th Australian name to be added to the gleaming Hong Kong Open championship trophy. Last year’s Open Champion, and still the highest world-ranked Aussie at World No. 20 and this despite being a member of LIV, last contested the event in 2014 in his then rookie season, and despite now 16 wins in stunning career, and also including two individual titles this year on the LIV Tour, Smith is yet to taste success in ...

Rory McIlroy’s revealed he reached out to Jon Rahm and saying there’s no way the super golfing Spaniard will desert the PGA Tour ship for LIV Golf. Speculation was rife when it was noticed Rahm’s name went missing from the list of 24 players listed on the TGL website who will compete in January’s start to the PGA Tour backed TGL series in Florida. CONFIDENT HE’S @PGATOUR PLAYER … Rory @McIlroyRory reaches out to @JonRahmpga over @TheMasters champ decision to withdraw @TGRLiveEvents Declares: ...

Seamus Power remains sidelined with injury and sadly thus ruling the champion Irish-born golfer out of his defence of this week’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Power had been forced to withdraw from July’s DP World Tour Genesis Scottish Open, managing to play just nine holes of his opening round and while he played two rounds of the following week’s 151st Open Championship, he was still being hampered by the injury. He returned to his Las Vegas residence taking three weeks off ...

Matteo Manassero has always been one of the more-affable players in golf and now after far too many years in the golfing wilderness what a sheer delight it is to report the 30-year-old Italian is officially returning to the DP World Tour. It’s been a long four-year absence for a player who turned pro 13-years ago, wasting little time in breaking all sorts of Tour records but after this week’s final round of the season-ending Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final in Majorca, Manassero has easily ...

It’s been seven months since Tiger Woods last competed and that was the bitter disappointment of battling plantar fasciitis that forced him to withdraw after bravely making the halfway cut the Masters. He underwent ankle surgery just 10 days later. Indeed, Woods has contested just two events this season and the other being seven weeks earlier in sharing 45th place in the Genesis Invitational event he again hosted at the Riviera club in Santa Monica. However, Woods has hinted he may be closer ...

Media speculation has been correct with super Spaniard Jon Rahm ruling himself out in being a part of next January’s start to the inaugural Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy hosted TGL Series. Rahm’s name had been removed from the TGL website that prompted then unconfirmed news that Rahm was no longer involved in the Series. His omission led also to suggestions the reigning Masters champion had jumped the PGA Tour/DP World Tour ship to sign with LIV Golf. No doubt fearful of any further negative ...
