Scot Calum Hill has returned to Johannesburg on a high as he heads into this week’s Joburg Championship title defence in the South African capital. Hill ended a four-year victory drought twelve months ago cutting a swathe through the final round field, coming from eight shots back in posting a sizzling 62 under a ‘one-club’ preferred lie rule on the rain-softened Houghton course fairways to grab the clubhouse lead ahead of a near hour long wait to be crowned champion. The Crook of Devon ...

Chris Gotterup can be excused if he’s floating on a golfing cloud nine. Two wins in just five events of this still new 2026 season and the wins coming on the back of a maiden PGA Tour victory a year ago at the Genesis Scottish Open followed by a T3rd place finish a week later at The Open. He’s also leaped from World No. 158th teeing-up in Scotland to the new World No. 6 teeing-up this week for a first occasion in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. “Yeah, this is my first time here, ...

Double-winning European Ryder Cup star Matt Fitzpatrick has joined a growing chorus calling on his 2023/’25 victory team leader Luke Donald to remain in charge for the 2027 Ryder Cup defence at Adare Manor in Ireland. Fitzpatrick, 31, has represented Europe in four Ryder Cup – 2016, 2021, 2023 and 2025 – though none were more special than winning in 2023 in Rome and then successfully defending the Cup at Bethpage Park a year ago. And while Fitzpatrick would dearly love to be a member of  the ...

The Arnold Palmer Invitational is forever a special week in the annual PGA Tour schedule. It will 10-years sadly in September when on the Sunday prior to the 2016 Ryder Cup Arnie passed away. However, Arnie’s memory lives on and that is so noticeable each year at the Arnold Palmer Invitational here at Bay Hill. Photographs of Arnie are everywhere about the course, there’s the stature of Arnie beside the first tee while there’s the sight of Arnie’s golf bag and umbrella each year on the right ...

After contesting four games in the past four days, Rory McIlroy found himself rained-off after just six holes in playing a practice round today (Tuesday) at Bay Hill course here in suburban Orlando. The Arnold Palmer Invitational champion was out on the host course near midday looking to play the back nine of the course where he had won by three strokes in 2018. McIlroy was accompanied by his caddy Harry Diamond along with long-time coach, Michael Bannon as well as his putting coach, Brad Faxon. RORS ...

When you’ve been playing the game as long as Darren Clarke has then there’s good reason to love what you’re doing. That’s still very much the scenario for the now 57-year-old Northern Irishman and in now his 36th year in the pro ranks. Even from an early age, Clarke seemed he would go on to forge a pretty decent career in the club-and-ball game winning five prestigious amateur championships in the months ahead of turning pro as a then 21-year-old in 1991. There would have been ...
