Back-to-back eagles on the same hole for two days running kept Richie Ramsay soaring near top of the board heading to the weekend rounds of the Volvo Scandinavian Mixed in Stockholm. Ramsay holed two monster putts totalling 100-feet, the first measuring 40-feet on day one of the $US 2m event, and then a 60-footer at the same par-5 15th hole in his second round of 66 for a super 10-under tally on the host Ullna course just to the north of the Swedish capital. England’s Dale Whitnell, signing ...

Justin Rose, like his RBC Canadian Open playing partner Rory McIlroy, stayed loyal through the tumultous past 12 months to the PGA Tou Of course, McIlroy had been more outspoken than his fellow European though did not downplay Rose’s determination, as now one of the more senior players, to the PGA Tour cause, and that being so evident when the 42-year-old captured this year’s AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. You could have at a guess Rose may have been responding to LIV Golf’s Greg ...

Scotland’s Richie Ramsay put aside his disappointment over the recent shock news in men’s pro golf to snatch an eagle and four birdies on the opening day of the Volvo Scandinavian Mixed in Sweden. Ramsay, 39, brilliantly cleared water twice in finding the green at the par-5 15th, and the sixth hole of his round, landing his second shot to just eight-feet and holing the putt. The four-time Tour winner grabbed four other birdies, including a 10-footer at his last in a four-under 68 on the host ...

In a 3,700 word Rory McIlroy pre-RBC Canadian Open transcript, and apart from two or three questions only about the tournament, there were 14 words that made for a most interesting golfing analogy. The words were from Jimmy Dunne, a PGA Tour board member and also the boss at the ultra-exclusive Seminole Golf Club that’s located just a short drive south along Florida highway 1A1 from McIlroy’s palatial abode. Dunne’s built a multi-million dollar career advising on some of the biggest ...

Rory McIlroy admitted he was “surprised” and also had “mixed emotions” but also declared there was not way he could welcome back those rebel LIV golfers, as that was not going to happen in addresseing the news that the bitter war between the PGA Tour DP World Tour against LIV Golf that has now ended. The four-time majors-winning put himself as the unofficial PGA Tour spokesperson seemingly on matters LIV Golf related, so much so, we heard more from McIlroy than PGA Tour chief Jay Monahan, ...

It seems it took the powers of female persuasion to bring together the mega billion dollar deal that yesterday resulted in the shock news of an immediate truce in men’s professional golf. The truce will see the PGA Tour and DP World Tour join forces with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour, and it seems it’s all down to Newcastle United board member Amanda Staveley. Of course, Newcastle is owned by the Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, who own and also fund the LIV breakaway, and ...

The totally unexpected announcement yesterday of the merger of the PGA Tour and DP World Tour with the Saudi-backed LIV Tour will not only just affect the now trio of unified tours in men’s pro golf. The Asian Tour for decades before the emergence of LIV Golf had been the unofficial third ranked Tour in men’s professional golf though they’ve been the hardest hit in recent years, first by the worldwide Covid pandemic and then the emergence of the inaugural LIV Golf tournament a year ...
