Tiger Woods appearance in this week’s Turkish Airlines Open has been like ‘gold dust’ declared the President of the Turkish Golf Federation. Turkish businessman Ahmet Agaoglu has been the driving force in getting Woods to Turkey, firstly for last year’s eight-man Turkish Airlines Invitational and this week’s inaugural Turkish Airlines Open. And he’s signed the currrent World No. 1 to a three-year deal meaning Woods will be back in Turkey for the second edition ...

Adam Scott has began his four-event  Masters celebration in winning style and also capturing Australia’s golfing ‘Big 3’ with an emphatic victory in the Australian PGA Championship at Royal Pines in Queensland. Scott went into the last day leading by three shots and despite visiting American Rickie Fowler putting up a superb challenge, Scott was never in any real danger of defeat. There had been a thunderstorm delay with Scott and Fowler in the middle of the 12th fairway and when ...

Tiger Woods season could have easily been over after the World’s top-ranked golfer banged his right hard against a large umbrella tree on day three of the Turkish Airlines Open. Woods went into the penultimate round of his penultimate event this year just one off the lead but once again, it was the longest club in his bag again causing the biggest problems. The 14-time Major winner was finding spots on the Colin Montgomerie designed course not on Monty’s original design plans. At the 10th Woods ...

Victor Dubuisson is on target and five shots clear of his rivals as he seeks a victorious landing in the  Turkish Airlines Open. The focus ahead of a hotly anticipated Saturday at the Montgomerie Maxx Royal centred on the battle between friendly rivals Ian Poulter and Henrik Stenson, with both aiming to be crowned Race to Dubai Number One next week, and the fascinating sub-plot of Woods being hot on their heels. But it was Dubuisson, a model of consistency throughout the week, who starred as his ...

Frenchman Raphael Jacquelin has been upgraded to First Class in establishing a new Maxx Royal course record of a 10-under par 62 on day three of the Turkish Airlines Open in Belek. Jacquelin birdied his opening four holes but then had a double bogey at the fifth before picking up another seven birdies including also birding his closing four holes in a record-setting total of 12 birdies. “It was a crazy round for a crazy game,” said the bearded French golf star. “I’ve ...

World No. 1 Tiger Woods had no sooner posted the lowest score of the two rounds of the Turkish Airlines Open and he singled out current European No. 1 Henrik Stenson for praise. While Woods continues to ride high atop of the World Rankings, easily the best player over the past five months has been Stenson. Starting with his second place finish in the US Open, Stenson has posted the following superb results:- 3rd – Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open 2nd – 142nd Open Championship 2nd ...

Masters champion Adam Scott could not have wished for a better performance in his first tournament back home since becoming the first Australian to win at Augusta National. Scott heads into the final round of the Australian PGA  Championship two shots clear and on target to capture the third leg of the Australian golfing ‘Big-3’. Scott is already a former Australian Open (2009) and Australian Masters champion (2012). And in what is a dream final round pairing for organisers of the Australian ...
