Golf, by TourMiss

At first it was a tip from a Tour insider, then a leaked PGA Tour memo but now the Tour has confirmed what Tour Miss learned back on January 7th and that is confirmation the WGC – Mexico Championship is being moved from next month Mexico City to Florida. The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton and to the south of Tampa in Florida has been handed the host honour due to Covid-19 fears in taking the limited field back to Mexico.   BEING MOVED ..

Reigning US Open champ Bryson DeChambeau believes far too much brain training and resulting in ‘crazy overworking” was behind his health problems during last November’s Masters meltdown. DeChambeau, 27, had the Augusta National green jacket members on tender hooks ahead of last November’s rescheduled Masters with fears the golf’s ‘Hulk Hogan’ would run amuck among the Georgia ‘Cathedral in the Pines’ following his crushing triumph at Winged Foot. However, ...

It comes as no surprise given California’s heightened coronavirus awareness that this year’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am will be played without its traditional pro-am format next month.

Jhonattan Vegas’ misfortune is now Seamus Power benefit after Vegas was forced out of this week’s Sony Open after testing positive to Covid-19. The Venezuelan-born Texan Vegas joins a worrying increasing number of PGA Tour players to have tested positive to the deadly virus since the PGA Tour returned from the lockdown on 11th June last year. It means the 36-year-old Vegas now self-quarantining for the next fortnight and not only missing out on teeing-up next week in Hawaii, and where he was ...

Defending Sony Hawaiian Open champ, Cameron Smith has vowed to stick with the ‘Mullet’. What’s the Mullet I hear you say? No, it’s not a fish but a ’80s style of haircut and definitely not  your basic ‘short-back-and-sides’ cut.  Of all the lockdown fashion cliches, few could have predicted the mullet.  The hairstyle, known for its ‘business-on-top’ and ‘party-at-the-back’ shape is emblematic of all things 1980.
