Four-time Major winning Brooks Koepka has responded to being snubbed by his fellow PGA Tour peers after rival Rory McIlroy was awarded the ‘2010 PGA Tour Player of the Year’ award. McIlroy’s choice for the award following the close of the 2018/19 PGA Tour season came as somewhat as a surprise but then the No. 1 vote for the Northern Irishman also reflected just how popular he is on the PGA Tour. This is stark contrast to the ‘stone cold’ demeanour Koepka exhibits whether ...

Top-ranked Scot Russell Knox competes this week in Las Vegas very much looking for a victory jackpot. Knox joins fellow Scot Martin Laird in the $7m Shriners Hospital for Children Open on the TPC Summerlin course just to the west of the gambling capital of the world. Knox has not pulled four winning aces or lined-up all the ‘7s’ on the PGA Tour since capturing the 2016 Travelers Championship in Connecticut. The Las Vegas event will be Knox’s first on the 2019/20 wraparound schedule ...

Australia’s Adam Scott this week makes his appearance in the Shriners Hospital for Children Open in Las Vegas, Nevade and where some 20-year years the now Masters champion was a student at the University of Las Vegas. Scott, and now aged 39, competed on the universities golf team from 1999 to 2000 before electing to turn professional late in June 2000 on the European Tour and this after having been competing early that same year on the European Tour. But then nothing quite prepared the young ...

Irish Open organisers have the assurance of Rory McIlroy teeing-up and now they have a prime 2020 date, so all that is needed is rubber stamping of a host venue. The European Tour has confirmed Ireland’s premier golf event will be held from May 28th to 31st next year. That’s two weeks after the PGA Championship and a week prior to the Jack Nicklaus-hosted Memorial on the PGA Tour. It’s around a month earlier than in recent years and will occupy a date previously taken by the BMW PGA Championship ...

One of the final requests of Open Champion Shane Lowry at the conclusion to Sunday’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship was to pay a visit the R & A clubhouse. Lowry was chatting with a handful of the media following his final round 68 for a share of 15th place on the Old Course at St. Andrews. It was, of course, Lowry’s first visit to the Home of Golf since capturing the 148th Open Championship at Royal Portrush. In entering the R & A clubhouse there is a gleaming brass sign ...

Padraig Harrington and rival USA Captain, Steve Stricker played host to the 2020 Ryder Cup ‘Year To Go’ Ceremony at Whislting Straits in Wisconsin. The duo entertained questions from the attending media ranging in subjects from why Europe dominated at the 2018 Ryder Cup, home match versus away matches, what both have learnt in being vice-captains, the nature of the Whistling Straits venue, the impact of the Ryder Cup to the state of Wisconsin and the first memories of both captains from ...
