Catriona Matthews has accomplished so much in her career. Matthews is the only Scottish woman to win a Major in capturing the 2009 Women’s British Open at Royal Lytham and St. Annes. At a team level, it gets no better than September last year when she led Europe to Solheim Cup victory on home soil at Gleneagles. ‘Beaney’, as she is affectionately known, was asked in a Scottish Golf arranged panel discussion with fellow Major winning Scot Paul Lawrie, what was her best Solheim Cup ...

After seven-weeks putting balls into a $US 5 coffee cup on a rug in his palatial abode, World No. 1 Rory McIlroy is finally back to sharpening his $US 122m golf earning career. It’s been two days short of seven weeks since McIlroy teed-up on March 12th and then brilliantly regrouping from an average first round defence of his Players Championship title at TPC Sawgrass to birdie his closing three holes but with the flagship Tour event being cancelled later that evening. The McIlroy house does ...

However in a phone-a-friend moment, Adam reached out to a fellow golfer living over 1,000 klms away to the south, and someone who had always called Adam his golfing buddy but ...

Russell Knox has called for a ‘fair and just’ process in team selection should the 2020 Ryder Cup go ahead.

World ...

Golfers in the UK -England, Scotland and Wales – could get back to playing golf mid to late next month.
