“Aloha e Simona. He mea maikai ke hookipa ia oe i Hawaii nei”. With thanks again to Google even my Hawaiian is superb with this greeting translating to: “Hi there Simon. It is good to welcome you back to Hawaii”. For a second year in succession Seamus Power returns in the first week of January to the Hawaiian island of Kapalua a champion, teeing-up at this week’s ‘winners only’ Sentry Tournament of Champions.

  ‘Madness!’ The word the newly-wedded Collin Morikawa singled out in congratulating the double major champ on his recent return to competition, and suggesting if there’s a word to describe what we’ve witnessed in the men’s professional game this past year. “Madness, I would say sums-up the year given everything that has been going on in men’s golf,” he said competing at the recent Hero World Challenge. The men’s pro game in 2022 still celebrated four major winners ...

​ Here’s a golfing fact just three days out from the New Year and that is to advise today, 29th December marks 100 days to tee-off in the 2023 Ma​s​ters. Many of our readers will probably be rugged-up somewhere striving to fight off the winter chill or maybe there’s those lucky enough to be lazing beside the pool and with all not overly concerned with the distant staging of what will be the 87th hosting of the Masters.

Spieth was the reigning World No. 1 arriving into Australia’s oldest city as the winner earlier in the year of The Masters and the US Open, along with capturing the Valspar Championship, ...

  Augusta National has issued a statement confirming all eligible LIV Golfers, including six past Masters champions, will be extended an invitation to tee-up in the 2023 Masters. Chairman Fred Ridley confirmed this news in a public statement saying: From its inception in 1934, the purpose of the Masters Tournament has been to benefit the game of golf.

  ​It’s an utter disgrace as I posted on social media that the BBC has now formally snubbed 2022 US Open champion, Matthew Fitzpatrick as a nomination for their ill-named ‘Sports Personality of the Year’ award. Fitzpatrick, 28, brilliantly became the first British golfer since Danny Willett won the 2016 Masters, to triumph at the game’s highest level following his spectacular fairway bunker shot down the final hole at Brookline. It was a month ago that Fitzpatrick had ...
