Rory McIlroy was sticking to his no ‘partnership’ discussion stance in avoiding the waiting written media ahead of this week’s Genesis Scottish Open here at the Renaissance Club to the east of Edinburgh. McIlroy was out first at 8am in Wednesday’s pro-am and, unlike any of his other 23 professional colleagues, he played a full 18-holes in a third visit to this week’s host venue. He walked from the course signing autographs and agreeing to two TV interviews, and one ...

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has called for players to be more involved in the ‘partnership’ negotiations following yesterday’s revelations forthcoming from the Senate hearing in the US capital. Scheffler’s not a member of the PGA Tour’s Player Advisory Board but as the presently the game’s best, last year’s Masters champion does have the ear of his fellow colleagues. “For me I just try to keep may head down and play golf. I don’t get too involved ...

In what is a first in the history of men’s professional golf, the ancient club-and-ball game was called to answer at a US Senate public hearing. From the hearing that took place Tuesday morning (US time) within the walls of the US Capitol building in Washington D.C., we’ve learned the remarkable contents of a 276-page proposed deal to end the bitter rivalry between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour.

Board member Randall Stephenson gave formal notice he no longer wants to be a member of the policy board, citing “serious concerns” over the June 6th news of a ‘merger’ of the PGA Tour and DP World Tour with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia. It is being widely reported Stephenson submitted his letter of ...

Aussie Cam Smith could not be in better form ahead of next fortnight’s 151st Open Championship defence, leading from start to finish to capture the LIV London tourament. Smith was never headed in capturing a second LUV title in posting a closing round of a three-under 68 for a 15-under-par one shot victory on the host Centurion course, and where just over a year ago the inaugural LIV event was conducted. Fellow Aussie and Ripper team-mate Marc Leishman (66), and along with Patrick Reed (65) ...

Marc Warren ended a seven-year major championship drought to muscle his way into next week’s 151st Open Championship Warren, 42, produced a closing round 68 to secure a share of fourth in the Made in Denmark and with his effort good enough to grab the second of three tee-times into Royal Liverpool. The Glaswegian has not contested any of the four majors since missing the halfway cut in the 2016 Open Championship at Royal Troon. Warren made his Open Championship debut three years earlier at the ...
