Grand Slam winning Rory McIlroy has been confirmed to headline the Australian Open for the next two years, including when the leading Aussie event returns to famed Royal Melbourne later this year.

Despite the bitter disappointment of finishing runner-up in the $20m Truist Championship there was the reward of a career first for crestfallen Shane Lowry. Lowry’s second place finish to Austrian Sepp Straka has seen the 38-year-old Irishman move inside the top-10 on the World Rankings for a first time in his 16-year pro career. Lowry teed-up last week in suburban Philadelphia as the World No. 12 and his same then career high best as No. 12 in finishing T18th at the Valspar Championship in ...

It surely has to be a first in the world of golf winners trophies – the Truist Championship ‘cricket bat’ trophy.

Ryan Fox is the toast of New Zealand golf after brilliantly shaking off what he described as a ‘monkey off my back’ in winning the PGAs ONE Flight Myrtle Beach Classic.

After so long in the golfing darkness, Chris Wood has finally attracted the DP World Tour limelight and thanks to those admistering the Turkish Airlines Open. If not for their generatous invitation, Wood would probably be back home in Bristol wondering where he will be competing next but now after a closing round 64 for a hard-earning top-10 finish (fingers crossed) in Antalya Wood could be headed to next fortnight’s Soudal Open at Anterp in Belgium. Wood’s effort of 64 was a his lowest ...

Aussie rules as Lucas Herbert sensationally eagled the closing hole for a second day running and storm to a five shot success in the US$2 million International Series Japan presented by Moutai. Herbert, 29, posted a final round 64 for a 20-under victory total on the host Caledonian Golf Club in Chiba, five ahead of his playing partners Yuta Sugiura and Younghan Song. Sugiura played solid golf and was bogey-free for the third time in four days, but his putter let him down in a round of 69. He was ...
