… 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 ...

  In a move that will hopefully see him rewarded with a maiden Masters title Rory McIlroy has made two key pre-Augusta decisions. Firstly, he has returned to work with famed coach, Butch Harmon. And secondly McIlroy is reportedly going to skip the Par-3 Contest held annually on the eve of the Masters and thus also avoiding any pre-Masters hoax that if you win the Par-3 Contest you won’t win The Masters. The current World No. 2 ranked McIlroy needs no reminding it’s now a decade since ...

After clearly teasing fans with a clever April Fools Day prank, Cam Smith is serious as he looks to become the only the second Aussie to be fitted with an Augusta National members green jacket. The recently-married Smith will be heading to an eighth Masters since making his debut in 2016 and three years after Adam Scott brought the Australian nation to a then local time Monday morning standstill when he beat former champ Angel Cabrera in a play-off. Smith, 3o, has proven he has the game to win at ...
