Red-hot Chilean golfer Joaquin Niemann is currently 31 places outside the top-50 on the World Rankings though he’s been afforded an ‘International Invitee’ invitation to compete in this year’s Masters at Augusta National. Also receiving a similar invitation was Japanese-born Ryo Hisatsune, presently ranked No. 78 on the World Rankings. Making-up a triple Masters invitation treat is World No. 59 Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark. It’s the first time Augusta National has issued a similar ...

Scotland’s David Drysdale has returned to Oman for the first time in five-years feeling very comfortable ahead of this week’s inaugural International Series event of the new 2024 Asian Tour season. The Oman tournament, again taking place on the stunning Al Mouj host course, is the first of six International Series events on the new Asian Tour schedule. Drysdale is no stranger to the course laid-out along the shoreline of the Oman Gulf and located just to the north of the capital Muscat. FEELING ...

Double Major winning Angel Cabrera has this week travelled all the way to Morocco in a move that could soon see the Argentinean competing back on US soil. Cabrera, 54, has entered this week’s Champions Tour Trophee Hassan 11 event being held at the ultra-private Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in the capital of Rabat. It will be Cabrera’s first PGA Tour sanctioned event since his release last August after serving a 30-month prison sentence in both Brazil and Argentina for gender dispute and ‘other’ ...

Good news with Seamus Power indicating he’s playing pain free after contesting all four rounds for a fifth occasion in his six 2024 PGA Tour starts at last week’s Genesis Invitational. Power, 36, matched his best effort this new season with a T31st place finish in suburban Santa Monica and this after a similar T31st finish in the recent weather affected AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The Las Vegas-based Irishman is lying 76th on the current FedEx Cup standings and while he slipped three ...

Japanese golfer Hideki Matsuyama will celebrated his up-coming 32nd birthday with a $4m Genesis Invitational victory purse thanks to his record-setting victory at Riviera. Matsuyama stormed his way from six shots back at the start of the final round to shoot a closing 62 and win by three shots at 17-under. The win is Matsuyama’s ninth on the PGA Tour and the 18th of his career while the former Masters champ also set a new record for PGA Tour wins by Asian-born after sharing eight wins apiece ...

Rory McIlroy may have finished well outside the top-20 at the close of the Genesis Invitational but once again he’s way out front when it comes to ‘off the tee’ PGA Tour stats. Little wonder McIlroy admitted his game was close after posting a no-frills final round of 70 for a five-under par tally on the host Riviera course. It left him trailing a whopping 12 shots behind Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama who cut a swath through the field on day four, birdieing his opening three holes ...

Tiger Woods has spoken following his shock withdrawal from the Genesis Invitational indicating he was “resting and feeling better” a day after we learned it was a bout of flu that sidelined the Riviera tournament host. This is good news that it was nothing super serious that dramatically forced Woods from the course and clearly now continues to all go well for his to return to Augusta National early in April. Though the sight of Woods being driven from the course after hitting his tee ...
