It’s been seven months since Tiger Woods last competed and that was the bitter disappointment of battling plantar fasciitis that forced him to withdraw after bravely making the halfway cut the Masters. He underwent ankle surgery just 10 days later. Indeed, Woods has contested just two events this season and the other being seven weeks earlier in sharing 45th place in the Genesis Invitational event he again hosted at the Riviera club in Santa Monica. However, Woods has hinted he may be closer ...

Media speculation has been correct with super Spaniard Jon Rahm ruling himself out in being a part of next January’s start to the inaugural Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy hosted TGL Series. Rahm’s name had been removed from the TGL website that prompted then unconfirmed news that Rahm was no longer involved in the Series. His omission led also to suggestions the reigning Masters champion had jumped the PGA Tour/DP World Tour ship to sign with LIV Golf. No doubt fearful of any further negative ...

After his gut-wrenching disappointment this time last year, Scotland’s David Drysdale can be proud in teeing-up in this week’s Volvo China Open looking assured of retaining his Asian Tour card for next season. Drysdale, 48, is again a lone Scot and competing in an event that was played under both European Tour and Asian Tour flags from 2004 to 2019, and Drysdale a regular entrant from 2010 to 2017 inclusive. The Scottish golfer tees-up this week on the host Hidden Grace resort near Shenzhen ...

Scotland’s Scott Jamieson proudly returns home having secured his Tour card for next season in brilliantly banking a share of third place in the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in Doha. Jamieson, 39, arrived in the Qatar capital, and in the final ‘regular’ season event, lying 119th and three places outside of automatically holding onto his 2024 Tour card but after a final round 66, to end tied at 16-under with Spain’s Nacho Elvira, the Scot jumped to 82nd on the money list and comfortably ...

Scott Jamieson is now staring at the strong possibility of securing full Tour playing rights for the next two years heading to the final round of the storm-affected Qatar Masters in Doha. Jamieson, 39, brilliantly re-ignited firstly his quest to retain his Tour, and in the final regular event of the season, but cannot be ruled out of victory in posting a stunning third round six-under 66 to be lying at 13-under, and a clubhouse share of second place on the host Doha Country Club course. DOUBLE ...

Top Scots Robert MacIntyre and defending champ Ewen Ferguson continue to be one shot off the lead heading into day three of the storm-affected Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in Doha. MacIntyre and Ferguson were tied in fourth place at nine-under after nine-holes of their second rounds when poor light halted play just prior to 5pm local time on the host Doha Golf Club course. A violent electrical storm had stopped play mid-afternoon Thursday leaving half the field of 132 players to complete their ...

R & A CEO Martin Slumbers has stated there is huge impediments to the chances of famed Irish club Portmarnock Golf Club in becoming a second Irish course to host the Open Championship. It was Rory McIlroy who earlier this month sung the praise of Portmarnock joining Royal Portrush as a venue to stage golf’s oldest major saying it would be a “fantastic” venue for The Open, while double Open winner Padraig Harrington remarked that Portmarnock “would seem the logical first step” to ...
