One of the fondest memories in attending the Honda Classic has been the joy to sit in the company of tournament host, Jack Nicklaus. It’s always been customary at each Honda Classic, as it is at the Memorial in Ohio, for Nicklaus to give his time to the visiting media in hosting a media conference at some time convenient during the course of either tournament. It is a little more formal at the Memorial but at the Honda Classic it’s much more relaxed. The Honda Classic is also Nicklaus’ ...

Stephen Gallacher’s record-setting 1,425 days wait to defend the Hero Indian Open ends this week in New Delhi. It’s been that long, and more simply 36 days shy of four years since Gallacher captured a fourth DP World Tour success with then 17-year-old son Jack on the bag and calling the shots in the Indian capital. Gallacher’s time as a defending champion, and aside from WW2, is probably the longest in the history of some of golf’s oldest national open titles, and with the Indian Open first ...

Dane Thorbjorn Olesen must now come onto the European Ryder Cup selection radar after his second success in 10 months at the inaugural Thailand Classic. Olesen, 33, stormed his way to a four-shot success, capping his final round with three birdies in succession from the 13th hole, on route to closing 66 and a 21-under-par tally. The win, and Olesen’s 14th pro career title, should see him jump nearly 30 spots to 91st on the World Rankings while he picked-up four spots to 12th on the ‘European’ ...

In meeting John Paramor for the first time, I naturally reached out my arm to shake the hand of the European Tour’s leading referee. What I did not expect was the crushing nature of his handshake. No, it was not as though Paramor was in any way proving a point as it was just the nature of this powerfully built rules official, so much so, that for each and every other time I shook the hand of ‘JP’, as he was affectionately known, I was prepared for the force of his handshake. It ...

  Players at this week’s Genesis Invitational will again find their way up just over 50 steep steps at the back of the 18th green to the ladies locker room within the stunning clubhouse at Riviera Country Club in suburban Santa Monica. Yes, the ladies locker room! The expansive Riviera ladies locker room is at the top of the staircase and given it’s close proximity to the back of the 18th and the close-by 1st tee, it’s used as a temporary scorer’s room for the annual ...
