Victorious Gleneagles Ryder Cup captain, Paul McGinley knows Rory McIlroy better than most and is now one of the more-respected and knowledgable TV pundits. McGinley, who was left disappointed in McIlroy electing not to contest this year’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, has put that aside to again speak frankly on his assessment of McIlroy’s game. McIlroy is now 53-weeks since his last victory while he has managed just the one win, and that being last year’s Arnold Palmer Invitational, ...

Commissioner, Jay Monahan hosted the now annual PGA Tour ‘State of the Tour’ address and pulled no punches in admitting there has been a breakdown in the working relationship among all those bodies involved in the workings of the new rules introduced on January 1st. The changes to the Rules of Golf had been enacted with the goal of not only making the game a little easier rules-wise but also to help speed-up play. Unfortunately, and with so many ‘interested’ bodies involved ...

Vive La France as Robin Roussel has become only the third Frenchman to win on the MENA Tour in managing to capture victory in the Troon Series – Royal Golf Bahrain Open on Wednesday. Roussel led from start-to-finish at the Royal Golf Club in Manama and while he bogeyed his final hole for a one-over 73 round it was good enough to seize a one-shot victory at 12-under par total. Roussel now joins compatriot Edouard Espana (2014 – The Royal Golf Dar Es Salam Open) and Lionel Weber (2017 ...

It has been 24 years while he’s also contested 548 European Tour event since Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn last teed-up in a Kenyan Open. Bjorn is to be congratulated in returning to Kenya to contest this week’s Magical Kenya Open after kick-starting his 1995 secondary Challenge Tour season with a second place and a Euro 4,700 prize cheque in the African nation. The now 48-year old Dane then went onto to win three times in contesting 18 events that season to top the Challenge Tour ...

Yes, Rory McIlroy has won more Majors than Dustin Johnson and he’s also won more tournaments around the globe than ‘DJ’ but Johnson is better. That is the view of Adam Scott ahead of this week’s Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass at Ponte Vedre in Florida. The very first Australian to win the Masters was quizzed aside from himself, who among the current crop of stars is the most difficult to be when that player is very much on his game. “I’d have to say Dustin ...

Robin Roussel opened a four-shot gap on top after another brilliant round – a bogey-free six-under par 66 – after the second round of the Troon Series – Royal Golf Bahrain Open on Tuesday. At the Colin Montgomerie-designed Royal Golf Club in Manama, the Frenchman moved to 13-under par total going into the final round on Wednesday and gave himself a great chance to win his first title on the MENA Tour by Arena after falling agonizingly short at Ghala Golf Club in Muscat. Germany’s Stefan Still ...

The news is good for Tiger Woods meaning it is no good news for his Players Championship rivals. The neck injury that ruled Woods out of last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational and the 80-time PGA Tour winner is raring to take his place this week in an vent he’s won twice before. Woods had to undergo on-course treatment three weeks ago at the WGC – Mexico Championship and while he was not going to contest the following week’s Honda Classic it came as a surprise when he withdrew from ‘Arnie’s ...
