Newly-crowned champ Thomas Detry has revealed a key to his super hot Phoenix Open success – an icy bath before tee-off. Yes, the 32-year-old father of two jumped into a ice bath in his hotel room hours before birdieing his closing four holes and not only capture a maiden PGA Tour title but also become the first Belgium-born to win the Tour, and to be now among just three Europeans to win the Phoenix Open since the inaugural tournament way back in 1932. So, what’s the about a ice bath? “I’ve ...

Top-Scot Robert MacIntyre may have found a novel way to win over USA Ryder Cup fans later this year and that’s by tossing gifts of a wrapped Shinty shirt and a $20 bill to fans as he did during the WM Phoenix Open in Arizona. MacIntyre posted a frustrating final round 67 for a three-way share of 6th place at 15-under but only after being three-under for his day through seven holes and then only managing to birdie just one of the remaining 11 holes and that being at the 12th on the host TPC ...

LIV Golf star Adrian Meronk has led from start to finish to claim a two shot victory in the LIVGolf Riyadh title in Saudi Arabia. Last year’s Poland No. 1 sports star succeeded in the opening event of the 2025 LIV Golf season and also played under lights in the Saudi Arabian capital. Despite a couple of hiccups over the final round the LIV Crushers star was never headed in posting rounds of 62, 66 and a closing 71 for his 17-under-par triumph. “This win is pretty special as I was nervous ...

Golf Australia, and the body charged with running both the men’s and women’s Australian Open titles, has made the decision to end the events being played concurrently on the same courses, as has been the scenario ...

Great news and despite his recent sadness, tournament host Tiger Woods will return to the PGA Tour to tee-up in next week’s Genesis Invitational. Woods, who annually hosts the ‘Signature’ event, will be teeing-up for a first time since last December’s PNC Championship in Orlando where he and son Charlie, along with daughter Samantha acting as caddy went so close to victory. And Woods will make his return to a first PGA Tour sanctioned event since missing the halfway ...

Richie Ramsay proved he’s no ‘Spring Chicken’ drawing on past experience to drain a testy last hole par putt in tough conditions and keep the Saltire flying high over the weekend rounds of the CB Qatar Masters in Doha. Ramsay signed for a one-under 71 to be among 15 players to make the cut right on the one-under 36-hole tally mark on the testing wind blown host Doha Golf Club course. England’s Brandon Robinson-Thompson is again knocking on victory, finding the green at the short par-4 16th and ...
