After the bitter taste of finishing runner-up a year ago, Frenchman Matthieu Pavon will take a two-shot lead into the final round of the acciona Open de España presented by Madrid after a superb ‘moving day’ 66 on the host Club de Campo Villa de Madrid course. Pavon has led the way since magestic opening 63 in the Spanish capital and produced a confident display of front-running to get to 16 under after 54 holes. England’s Nathan Kimsey lies in second place at 14-under after ...

Ripper GC Captain Cameron Smith is one round closer to claiming the LIV Golf Individual Champion crown. His teammate Marc Leishman is one round closer to returning to the winner’s circle.

Jon Rahm was wondering ‘what the hell’ when hit by his own divot during the second round of the Acciona Spanish Open in Madrid.

The US-based Spaniard, who’s also competing for a first time since helping steer Europe to victory in the Ryder Cup, looked ...

Lone Scot David Drysdale brilliantly lit-up the opening round of the Asian Tour’s SJM Macao Open to share the lead with a bogey-free nine-under 62.

Drysdale’s effort included an outward nine of 30 and with the Borders golfer producing four birdies ...

South Korean golfer Byeong-hun An now is really coughing after the shock of being suspended for three months by the PGA Tour on Wednesday for violating its anti-doping policy with a cough medicine available over the counter in his homeland.

Tiger Woods’ name will forever be associated with the Old Course at the Home of Golf, especially after capturing back-to-back St. Andrews-hosted Open Championships in 2000 and 2005. However, not all seems to be happy in the Auld Grey Toon with news breaking earlier this week that Woods will team with good friend Justin Timberlake to open the second of their T-Squared upmarket sports bar and grill within the near 100-year-old New Picture House cinema located on North Street in St. Andrews. Fife ...

Disappointingly, the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) board has determined it still cannot bring LIV Golf under the umbrella in being afforded world ranking points for it’s it current yearly worldwide playing schedule.
