Riviera Country Club, Los Angeles .. Tiger Woods returns to competition this week at Torrey Pines with all but one club he competed with at last month’s Hero World Challenge. In teeing up in the Bahamas Woods, and for a first time in his now 21-year pro predominately Nike equipment career, was sporting a new TaylorMade M2 driver. He had his Nike irons, including three Nike wedges with ‘TW’ clearly stamped on the rear face of the club. But for a first time in his career he was ...

Riviera Country Club, Los Angeles … Tiger Woods hosted a Genesis Open media outing today at the Riviera Country Club and among the questions put to the 14-time Major winner was his opinion of the golf game of newly-appointed US President Donald Trump. The pair played 18 holes just prior to Christmas on Trump’s own Trump International course at Palm Beach Gardens in Florida. “I tell you what for a person is over 70 years old, he hit it hard.  I mean people don’t realise he’s that old ...

La Quinta, CA … Martin Laird headed to the clubhouse delighted to finish inside the top-10 after the first event of his 10th season at the Career Builder Challenge at La Quina, California. The Scot signed for a closing three under par 69 for a 14-under par tally on the Stadium Course at PGA West. Laird had been lying 10th when he walked from the course and had moved up to a share of ninth as the leaders had just a few holes to play before Laird was credited with an official share of 9th. “It’s ...

It has been well over three years since Tommy Fleetwood was photographed with his ailing dog, Massie in the Scottish Highlands as the 2013 Johnnie Walker Championship winner. In between that maiden Tour victory the unruly-haired Englishman had some 60 other Tour events with a best of three seconds in 2014. However the newly-turned 26-year old kept his cool on the back nine to come home in 31 to win by a shot with a 17-under par tally and add his name to the gleaming Falcon trophy as the 2017 Abu ...

La Quinta, CA … Martin Laird headed into a 10th season in the pro ranks asking his Scottish fan base to understand representing Europe in the Ryder Cup in important. Laird, 35 is yet to put himself in position to qualify for a Ryder Cup but then that goal could be further from reach after changes announced to qualifying earlier last week by the European Tour. The Tour, and whether or not it is a reaction to Europe losing last year’s Ryder Cup at Hazeltine, introduced the most widespread amendments ...

La Quinta, CA … It had taken 14 years from 1977, and the first ever score of 59, for a PGA Tour player to sign for a second score of 59 in 1991. But now just nine days after Justin Thomas shot a 59 on the opening day of last week’s Sony Hawaiian Open and 26-year old Canadian Adam Hadwin managed to shoot a 59 on the third day of the Career Builder Challenger here in La Quinta, California. Unlike Thomas’ effort in Hawaii, and on a par 70 layout, the affable Hadwin posted his round on ...
