…. Miami, FL Fans attending this week’s LIV Golf Miami will be on the lookout for a golf club proudly on display for all the wrong reasons on the walls within the opulent Trump Doral clubhouse. The club is a 3-iron and it once belonged to Rory McIlroy. However, that was before McIlroy parted with the club in playing the second round of the 2015 WGC – Cadillac Championship, and being staged a month out from the Masters on the famed ‘Blue Monster’ course in suburban Miami. McIlroy ...

Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods could be struggling to tee-up in next week’s Masters. Woods recently returned to Augusta National for the first time since withdrawing ahead of last year’s weather-affected third round. However, according to long-time good friend Notah Begay 111, not all is good with TW. “He’s trying to formulate a strategy and approach that he can work within given the constraints that he’s presented with. And he’s got some constraints,” Begay said in an article ...

… in Miami, FL  Bryson DeChambeau has rightfully hit the golfing nail right on the head in declaring the sport is losing far too many fans the longer the rift remains in men’s professional golf. We were informed some nine months ago following the shock news ahead of the RBC Canadian Open there would be a resolution by the end of December but when the end of 2023 arrived we were informed any such resolution would not be until at least April, 2024. April has arrived and it seems the golf ...

in Miami, FL With just less than 90 players teeing-up in next week’s Masters the odds a LIV Golfer winning the 88th hosting of the major championship is strong. That’s the view of defending Augusta National champion Jon Rahm just a week out from his defence of the year’s maiden major championship. Indeed, there will be 13 LIV Golf stars taking the drive down Magnolia Lane and with those 13 also teeing-up this week at LIV Miami on the famed ‘Blue Monster’ course at Trump Doral. “There ...

It took lengendary Texas-born Ben Crenshaw 13 attempts before he won a maiden Masters now all of 40-years ago. Crenshaw was then aged 32 and had been runner-up twice before and also enjoyed three other top-10s before being fitted with a famed August National members jacket by the late, great Seve Ballesteros, and then in a somewhat bizarre scenario it was another great Spaniard in Jose Maria Olazabal who fitted Crenshaw when he captured a second Masters in 1995. Rory McIlroy tees-up next week in ...

Struggling double PGA Championship winning Justin Thomas will tee-up at next week’s Masters with a new caddie after revealing he’s split with legendary bagman Jim ‘Bones’ McKay. Thomas and ‘Bones’ have been an item since late 2021 when Thomas and prior long-time caddie Jimmy Johnson split following the USA triumph at the 2021 Ryder Cup. ‘Bones’, and very long-time caddy to Phil Mickelson, came on board and in May 2022 he pulled the clubs on route to ...

Scotland’s Martin Laird will have to find his own Augusta room on Sunday night should he capture this week’s Valero Texas Open in San Antonio. The $9.2m Texas tournament is again the final qualifying event to secure the last invitation (not invite) into next week’s 88th hosting of the Masters. Eleven years ago, Laird pulled the Texas Open victory rug right out from under the feet of Rory McIlroy, birdieing his closing three holes to equal the TPC San Antonio Oaks course record of 63 and ...
