Bob MacIntyre secured his first victory on the PGA Tour just five months into his first full season appearance on the topflight US circuit after winning the Canadian Open in fine style – and with his dad on hand to carry out caddying duties. The 27-year-old Scot, who had only admitted last month that he was struggling to cope with the demands of being away from home and his friends for such long periods, decided to ask his father, Dougie, a part-time greenkeeper in Scotland, to take over bag duties this week in order to give him a lift after…

Stoke Park, which has been largely closed for the last two years, has provided a major update on its future, with the parkland golf course welcoming back golfers to ‘pay and play’ its historic Harry Colt course from June 8. The Buckinghamshire-based luxury hotel, golf and country club shut its doors to members in 2021 after it was bought by Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani, who has since invested heavily in the 300-acre estate. As well as improvements to the golf course, and the opening of a new coaching swing studio in March, renovation plans for the site also include improvements…

Rory McIlroy believes the death of two-time PGA Tour winner Grayson Murray has highlighted how “vulnerable and fragile” top sports stars can be.

In a statement released on Sunday, his parents said Murray had taken his own life. The 30-year-old had been open about his battles with anxiety and depression and revealed in January that he had sought treatment in the past few years for…
All criminal charges against Scottie Scheffler have been dismissed to bring to an end an extraordinary fortnight for the world number one. Scheffler’s bid to win the US PGA Championship earlier this month was thrown into chaos on May 17 when he was arrested ahead of his second round after he tried to drive into Valhalla Golf Club in heavy traffic, which had been caused by an unrelated accident in which a male pedestrian died. Masters champion Scheffler briefly spent time in jail before returning to the course to play his second round and had faced charges of second-degree assault…
Basingstoke Golf Club has outlined plans for a phased reopening period that will begin in June, as the Hampshire venue tees off on its journey to a full reopening following a £15million development project. The club, which first opened for play in 1907, relocated to a new site in the village of Dummer in 2021 – acquiring the land that was home to Dummer Golf Club on the outskirts of the town – before development on a new 18-hole championship course began last year.
