Golf’s longest World No. 1 Tiger Woods and the game’s second-longest running top-ranked Greg Norman will be competing just 20-klms apart this week in the Bahamas. Woods makes his long-awaited return to competition for a first time in 10 months after undergoing a fourth operation in April of a long-running back injury. Woods is hosting the Hero World Challenge while Australian great Greg Norman heads the field contesting the 2017 Necker Open. It is the third occasion Woods event is being ...

Tiger Woods returns to golf this week in what will clearly be the most-watched round of golf all season. Not since Woods teed-up earlier this year at the Farmers Insurance Open and then travelled onto to Dubai has there been so much interest in how the former long-time World No. 1 will perform. Since withdrawing ahead of the second round of the Dubai Desert Classic Woods underwent in April  a fourth operation on his much-troubled back. Back after nearly 10-months on the sidelines Woods will tee-up ...

How is this for a World Ranking statistic. Tiger Woods will jump 250 places on the ranking by just by teeing-up in this week’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. Woods heads into the elite no-cut event ranked 1,199th in the World Rankings and given the strength of the field teeing-up at Albany that is the prediction given the long-time World No. 1 has contested just three tournaments in the last two years and those being last year’s Hero World Challenge and two events earlier this year ...

Paul Dunne jets back into Dublin Monday morning local time looking forward to a well-earned competition break and recharging the golfing batteries ahead of the 2018 season. Dunne celebrated Sunday’s 25th birthday with a disappointing closing round 72 to share 41st place in the UBS Hong Kong Open. It was the very first event of the 2018 European Tour schedule but the last tournament for Dunne in a 2017 season capped by his brilliant British Masters triumph. The Wicklow golfer, however, spoilt ...

Wade Ormsby has joined the greats of Australian golf including Peter Thomson, the late Kel Nagle and Greg Norman to capture a maiden European Tour title with a nerve-wracking UBS Hong Kong Open victory. The 37-year old Adelaide-born Ormsby bogeyed the last but it was good enough in a round of a two-under par 68 for a one shot success at 11-under par and to also achieve the win in front of recently-crowned European No. 1 and playing partner, Tommy Fleetwood who posted a last day 69 to share sixth ...

Bradley Neil is hoping a night at the races with European Tour No. 2 Justin Rose is sufficient inspiration for the rookie Scottish pro. Neil is making his full European Tour debut at this week’s UBS Hong Kong Open and the 22-year old will bank a first cheque today (SUN) after brilliantly making the cut in the former Colonial outpost. The Blairgowrie golfer had holed a 25-footer for birdie at the 17th hole on Friday and then drained a 40-footer also for birdie at the last to make the cut by a shot. Neil, ...

Paul Dunne began his 25th birthday celebrations with a lowest score of his week in taking Route 66 on day three of the UBS Hong Kong Open. Dunne went into the third round of the co-sanctioned event only just making the halfway cut with a pair of 71s for a two-over par tally on the suburban Fanling course. He kick-started his third day with four straight pars before sandwiching a sixth hole birdie in between bogeys and five and seven. Then for a second occasion in three days he birdied the short ...
