Tiger Woods had to endure the glare of being World No. 1 and all that went with the game’s best player for a record-setting 683 weeks. Jason Day underwent a similar scenario for one week short of a year. The Queenslander had first climbed to the summit of the Rankings in capturing the 2015 BMW Championship only to lose it in his next event at the Tour Championship. Day, however, regained the No. 1 crown in winning the 2016 Dell Match-Play and reigned supreme until finishing T5th earlier this ...

A dramatic final day to the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai is in store with Paul Dunne and Shane Lowry well placed for a Sunday attack and the Race to Dubai set for a grandstand finish at Jumeirah Golf Estates. Dunne brilliantly birdied three of his closing four holes in a bogey-free 67 on moving day in Dubai to sit in a tie for 7th just three shots off the lead. Despite a slow start where Dunne didn’t manage his first birdie until the 7th hole, the Greystones man was very happy with his ...

Advantage Justin Rose with one round to play in the very last European Tour of the 2016/17 wraparound season. Rose will take a one-shot lead into the final day of the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai with the Race to Dubai set for a grandstand finish at Jumeirah Golf Estates. The Englishman has won his last two European Tour starts and entered the eighth Rolex Series event of the season knowing another victory would see him overtake countryman Tommy Fleetwood and be crowned Europe’s Number ...

England’s Ross Fisher has gone from shooting a record setting 61 at the famed Old Course at St. Andrews, and where you will find the widest fairway in all of tournament golf, to winning a bizarre two-yard wide ‘Hit the Fairway’ contest on the outskirts of Dubai. Filmed on location at the Al Qudra Cycle Track ahead of the Race to Dubai finale at the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates, the Tour twisted the arms of four players – Nicolas Colsaerts, Ross Fisher, ...

Race to Dubai leading Tommy Fleetwood handed Justin Rose a perfect reminder of his intentions with a fighting 65 on day two of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. Fleetwood heads the ‘Race’ but went into day two of the season-ending event trailing seven shots adrift of his fellow countryman. Fleetwood’s reaction was stunning, posting eight birdies and a bogey to get to six under before his rival had even teed off and move the pressure back on to the 2007 Order of Merit winner. The ...

Paul Dunne had his putting wings clipped despite soaring with two eagles on day two of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. Dunne brilliantly chipped-in at par five seventh hole and then drained a lengthy eagle putt at the last in a round of a two-under par 70 to end the round sharing sixth place at seven-under par on the Jumeriah Estates Earth course. If left the reigning British Masters victory hero trailing just three shots behind defending champ, Matthew Fitzpatrick who posted a second straight ...

It was not only Scott Hend’s golf that caught the attention of spectators but also his silver-capped shoes on day one of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. After birdies at his first and fourth holes, Hend brilliantly birdied five of six holes from the 10th before his only bogey at the last in an otherwise superb six-under par 66 on the Greg Norman-designed Earth Course at Jumeriah Estates course. It handed Scott a share of second alongside the very in-form Justin Rose and just a shot ...
