Earlier this year the DP World Tour debuted the Hero Cup featuring a 10-man GB & I team going up against a similar number of Europe players competing over three days in Abu Dhabi. The Hero Cup was a mirror of the long-running Seve Trophy that brought European Tour players together in a Ryder Cup like atomsphere and help prepare them for possible Ryder Cup-like competition should they qualify or be picked to represent Europe in a Ryder Cup. Of the 20 players who teed-up January in the UAE capital ...

European captain Luke Donald has surprised many in handing young Swedish superstar-in-the-making Ludvig Aberg as one of his six ‘wildcard’ picks to take to Rome later this. Aberg, 23, brilliantly captured last Sunday’s Omega European Masters and in only his ninth event as a professional, and a fifth on the DP World since making his debut as an amateur at the 2018 Nordic Masters. Fleetwood’s other picks were Tommy Fleetwood, Sepp Straka, Justin Rose, Shane Lowry and Nicolai ...

Crack open the champers! With Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre securing a maiden European Ryder Cup cap. The proud Oban lefty becomes the 23rd Scot to represent Scotland in a Ryder Cup since Stirling’s Stewart Burns in 1929 and with MacIntyre the first Scot in nine years to pull on the European team colours. MacIntyre was on route to Geneva Airport and return flight home when confirmation of his automatic selection in Luke Donald’s European side was confirmed and this after Poland’s ...

For any golfer, ending a round with a double-bogey is no good cause to be hanging around for a relaxing beverage and a long fireside-like chat. No, Robert MacIntyre wasted little time in packing-up his golf clubs and jumping in a waiting courtesy car for the two-hour odd journey to Geneva Airport and a flight back to his beloved Scotland. It had been a third straight frustrating visit to the Omega European Masters for MacIntyre, as evident in taking a double-bogey down the final hole after sending ...

While top-ranked Scot Robert MacIntyre continues to struggle after three rounds in getting a strong footing on the Swiss slopes his automatic selection in the 2023 Ryder Cup now looks assured. MacIntyre had not made the cut in two prior showings at the host Omega European Masters course and while he made the cut right on the three-under-par mark on Friday, it’s golf course that the Oban lefty clearly does not feels comfortable. Indeed, if it were not for the event being the final Ryder Cup ...

All of Scotland breathed a sigh of relief after Robert MacIntyre holed a nerve-tingling final hole par putt to make the cut right on the mark at the Omega European Masters at Crans Montana. MacIntyre’s effort in posting a second round 69 and finishing in a share of 62nd, and making the cut-off right on the mark at three-under has kept alive, albeit agonizingly, his quest to secure the last automatic spot into the European Ryder Cup team. MacIntyre had missed the cut in his prior two Swiss appearances ...

Asian Tour Commissioner Cho Minn Thant has sung the praise in creating history by bringing two Tour events to England and Scotland. The Tour proudly hosted the International Series England last fortnight at Close House in north-eastern England and last week we saw the Asian Tour flags flying high over the Torrance course at the Fairmont Resort, and located just a few miles from the famed Old Course at St. Andrews. The Home of Golf was blessed with warm, near windless conditions, and while there was ...
