Reigning Australian Open champ Joaquin Niemann tees-up in this week’s Hero Dubai Desert Classic looking to make it six victories for LIV golfers in seven DP World Tour events. Winning some six weeks ago in a play-off in Sydney earned Niemann a place in this week’s opening Rolex Series event again being hosted at the Emirates Golf Club. The champion Chilean golfer became the then second LIV golfer to win in the closing five DPWorld Tour events in succession that included South Africans ...

EXCLUSIVE .... Top-Scot Robert MacIntyre has arrived in La Quinta eagerly looking forward to building on last week’s ‘rusty’ PGA Tour career opener in Hawaii. MacIntyre birdied the last in a closing round 67 to finish at seven-under and just outside the top-50 in the event won by American Grayson Murray, who holed a monster birdie at the first play-off to capture a second Tour title and just over six-years after his first. The Oban lefty MacIntyre admitted to be a little rusty following the ...

Rory McIlroy remains one win from 17 first New Year events after virtually handing good friend Tommy Fleetwood victory at the close of the inaugural Dubai Desert Invitational. The World No. 2 ranked McIlroy was leading by a shot heading down the final hole when he terribly hooked his ball well left finding the waters of Dubai Creek. After taking a penalty drop, McIlroy found the green in three but then two-putted for third clumsy bogey of his round and falling shy of finishing tied with Fleetwood, ...

Tommy Fleetwood travelled near 8,700 miles from Hawaii to end a more two year winless drought with victory in the inagural Dubai Invitational in Dubai. And Fleetwood’s seventh DP World Tour victory, and his first since capturing the 2022 Nedbank Challenge in South Africa, comes thanks to a pair of closing birdies in a last round of 67 for a one shot win 19-under-par tally on the host Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht club course. Fleetwood, who turns 33 this coming Saturday, sealed success also in ...

Questions will continue to be asked after American golfer – 54-year-old Ken Weyand – posted a 53-over-par tally to finish last by 39 shots at the inaugural Dubai Invitational. Weyand, 54, ended the four rounds with an incredibly unheard 72 strokes behind champion Tommy Fleetwood’s 19-under victory tally on the host Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht club course. The Florida-based Weyland posted scores of 87, 82, 82 and a closing 86 for a horror 337 tally and so far adrift of Sweden’s ...

A first in golf was created at the stroke of midnight, Saturday 1st January, 2000 when I proudly hit the first golf shot on a golf course of the new millennium. This historic golfing achievement took place on the Tonga Golf Club course in the capital of Nuku‘alofa. The nine-hole Tonga Golf Club course, and also known as the Manamo’ui Golf Course, is the only golf course on this tiny Pacific Island nation.  Also, it is the first golf course to the left of the International Dateline Tonga ...

Newly-married Grant Forrest reckons World No. 2 Rory McIlroy is a ‘super power’ when it comes to driving the golf ball. Forrest, who was married just prior to the end of last year at a lavish ceremony at the Archerfield Golf Club to the east of Edinburgh, is among five Scots contesting this week’s inaugural Dubai Invitational in the UAE. Forrest has posted scores of 73, 68 and 71 for a one-under tally and just inside the leading 30 heading to the final round being played in this ...
