Bryson DeChambeau’s injury-plagued season could now be even more doubtful with reports suggesting the American is to undergo surgery tomorrow (Thursday) on his injured left hand. DeChambeau was clearly struggling at last week’s Masters hopelessly missing the cut with scores of 76 and 80 to finish ahead of just nine other players at Augusta National.  It was the first time in six Masters appearances, including earning the low amateur award in 2016, the now 28-year-old did not make the weekend ...

Tiger Woods looks now almost certain to tee up in July’s return of the JP McManus Pro-Am at Adare Manor. Woods spoke Sunday following the remarkable achievement of playing all four rounds of the 86th Masters that he intends to travel to Scotland in July for the 150th Open Championship, and this despite suggesting he may skip next month’s PGA Championship at Southern Hills. Woods won two of his three Opens at St. Andrews, including a first in 2000 when he produced four rounds in the 60s, was ...

Augusta National has advised that prize money for the 2022 Masters is up $1/2m on last year to a new record-setting £15m (Euro 13.8m). As well, the winner of the 86th Masters will take home the largest first prize in Masters history – a cool $2.7m (Euro 2.482m) – and that’s up from $2.07m that Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama pocketed a year ago. Runner-up at Augusta National will be handed $1.61m while the player who finishes third (and on his own) will also drive out the front gates a millionaire ...

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler heads to the closing two rounds with Masters victory history on his side. Scheffler’s best tamed the testing conditions with scores of 69 and 67 to lead by five shots at eight-under-par, and head the field with just 15 players of the 45 that made the cut managing to be under par ahead of the third day’s play. The 25-year-old Schefeller not only stands two rounds away from a maiden major championship but he should plenty of comfort knowing that only six players ...

Seamus Power has Rory McIlroy in playing all four rounds of a maiden Masters at Augusta National. Power put aside an early four-hole sour stretch to savour the real likelihood of making the cut in also a maiden major championship in bright but continuing windy and difficult conditions on the Georgian golfing gem. Power ended his round with a pair of 74s to be sharing 49th place and just a shot inside the projected five-over-par mark, and with the official cut-off mark in the 86th hosting of the ...

Sandy Lyle ended his 100th Major with Masters rounds of 82 and 76 and is promising to make it 101 Majors ‘for his family’ in teeing-up at next year’s 87th Masters. The 64-year-old former Masters Champion, and again decked-out wearing braces, managed just three birdies over the two days to finish well down the field with a 14-over-par tally. For the double major champion, and with Lyle winning the 1985 Open along with the 1988 Masters, it’s the ninth occasion in succession ...

It’s an even more remarkable story that not only did Tiger Woods tee up at Augusta National but 508-days since the last competitive round he proudly walked off with a round of 71 on the opening day of the 86th Masters. On the 25th anniversary of a maiden Masters, and some 14-months after his near-fatal car crash, Woods was just five shots from the lead early in the rain-delayed maiden major of the year. Wearing the brightest of bright pink shirts, Wood captured those walking the course, and ...
