Rory McIlroy is desperate to end a now 53-week winless drought on the PGA Tour at this Players Championship in Ponte Vedre, Florida. McIlroy tees up on TPC Sawgrass as an 8/1 favourite to win the Players with double Major winning Jordan Speith at 10/1 and World No. 1 Jason Day at 12/1. However after finishing T4th a week ago in the defence of his Wells Fargo Championship, it’s now one year and one week since McIlroy last won in the States. As well, McIlroy is the only player inside the top-five ...

Spain’s Sixto Casabona-Navarro is primed to honour the memory of the late Seve Ballesteros after replicating his first-round performance by shooting another sub-par round to consolidate his lead going into the final round of the Mountain Creek Open by Golf Citizen on Wednesday. It was five years ago this week Ballesteros passed away aged just 54. Starting the day one in front, the 27-year-old Spaniard carded a solid one-under 71 on the demanding Seve Ballesteros-designed course to reach four ...

New Masters champion Danny Willett was first into the Media Centre ahead of this week’s Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. The 28-year old is returning to competition for a first occasion since his stunning three stroke triumph at Augusta National. During that time Willett has had to deal with no only becoming a Major winner but also a new father. And it prompted the question to the Englishman whether he’s signed more Masters commemorative flags or changed more nappies on his one month ...

Thai teenager Witchayanon Chothirunrungrueng flashed a glimpse of his precocious talent, opening with a tidy two-under 70 to lie just one shot off the pace going into the penultimate round of the inaugural Mountain Creek Open by Golf Citizen on Tuesday. Playing in his first MENA Golf Tour event, the 19-year-old amateur, and affectionately known to his fellow golfers as ‘Zoom’, raced to three-under after his first five holes and picked up another shot on the 12th, but back-to-back bogeys ...

It will be 32 days since his Masters triumph when Danny Willett returns to work on Thursday to tee-up in the Players Championship. In this period Willett’s life has forever becoming a father and being fitted with a Masters green jacket. Also in this time Willett has wowed his native England and in particular Sheffield and surrounds in the aftermath of his stunning three shot triumph at Augusta National. However that all changes on Thursday when he steps onto the first tee at TPC Sawgrass as ...

Rory McIlroy paid a heavy price for another roller-coaster tournament despite a blistering final round 66 in defence of his Wells Fargo Championship in North Carolina. Unfortunately it was just a round too late for McIlroy who sandwiched eight birdies in between bogeys at the first and last holes on the Quail Hollow course. McIlroy ended the event in a share of fourth place with American Phil Mickelson, who also shot a 66, for the Open and PGA Championship winning duo to end at seven under par. Unfortunately, ...

Crail, Scotland – The MENA Tour again is climbing to new heights with the staging this week in Thailand of the Mountain Creek Open by Golf Citizen from May 10 to 12.
