  Jordan Speith, unlike fellow Masters and Australian Open champion Adam Scott, is already warming at the thought of walking onto among the USA Team at next August’s Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. Scott has been very out-spoken and not at all interested in competing in the Olympic Games. In contrast Speith, who is Sydney for this week’s 100th Australian Open, seemingly is counting the days to the Summer Games and golf’s return to the Olympic arena since 1924. ”Just ...

World No. 1 Jordan Speith admits it will be difficult to repeat the success in 2016 he’s enjoyed in the past twelve months. Speith has returned to Sydney to defend Thursday’s starting Australian Open at The Australian Club. It was his victory on the same golf course a year ago, and capped by a blistering final round course record setting 63, that kick-stated a run of remarkable success for the quietly-spoken Texan. The Dallas-born Speith then went onto to win the following week’s Tiger Woods ...

Rory McIlroy was crowned King of European golf for a third occasion in the past four years winning the Race to Dubai title and also capturing a second DP World Tour Championship also in four years. McIlroy was in a class of his own coming from one shot back heading to the last day of the season’s final event and absorbing everything young Englishman Andy Sullivan threw at him. The only real hiccup for McIlroy, who has now won four times in Dubai, was finding the water at the penultimate hole for ...

Peter Senior has shown that age is no barrier winning the UNIQLO Masters at Huntingdale Golf Club. Twenty-four years after he first won the Gold Jacket and 20 years after he last slipped on the iconic blazer, Peter Senior has once again emerged victorious winning by two shots with a tournament total 8-under 276.
