By Phil Casey Former champion Scottie Scheffler will have one eye on his Masters preparations as he bids to become the first player to win on three consecutive starts since 2017. Scheffler followed his five-shot victory in the Arnold Palmer Invitational by becoming the first player ever to successfully defend the Players Championship thanks to a closing 64 at Sawgrass. The last player to win three consecutive starts on the PGA Tour was Dustin Johnson, although Scheffler will hope the similarities will end there if he can triumph in the Texas Children’s Houston Open. After winning the Genesis Invitational, WGC-Mexico…
Q. Been a little bit since we have seen you at the Blue Bay LPGA. I know you’ve been up to some things off the course, but what have the last few weeks been like for you? What was it was it like reflecting after the Blue Bay LPGA? LYDIA KO: Yeah, spending a couple weeks overseas was really nice. Blue Bay was another one that we hadn’t been back for a really long time. Played really well. I think the last time I played there or one of the years I was 5-over through the first five holes, so I…

The world’s best golfers will be reuniting for the first time in eight months for the 88TH Masters, a tournament that sees reigning champion Jon Rahm return to Augusta to defend his title, but this time as a LIV golfer. Could the stakes be any higher? While the Masters is always the most eagerly anticipated golf tournaments of the year, coming as it does, after eight Major-free months, this year’s renewal has more than a certain extra frisson to it for a number of well-publicised reasons. The arrival of LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed tour, in the spring of 2022, set…
The Masters is decorated with incredible shots, all of which are made more spectacular by their surroundings.We’ve trawled the Augusta archives and picked out 10 of the best Masters shots of all time—however, with the proviso that many of the greatest shots took place before the arrival of YouTube in 2005.Sadly, for example, there’s no actual footage of Gene Sarazen’s famous albatross in 1935, though there are plenty of other highlights to fill the void before the year’s first Major gets underway.In no particular order, check out our top 10 best Masters shots of all time below. Which one is…
Welcome back to the media center here at the Fir Hills Seri Pak Championship. Pleased to be joined by the new 2024 champion in NELLY KORDA. Q. Nelly, overall, the thoughts of the last hour that you’ve had. Take me through what the last couple holes of regular play was like and then the emotions of that playoff. NELLY KORDA: Honestly didn’t really start feeling nervous until I made that eagle putt. I was kind of just — I didn’t really know what was going on, how the group behind me was doing. It was so windy was caught up…

Jesper Svensson won his first DP World Tour title with a play-off victory over Kiradech Aphibarnrat at the Porsche Singapore Classic. The Swede matched the course record with a closing 63 at Laguna National Golf Resort Club to get to 17 under, but extra holes were required as Aphibarnrat eagled the last in a stunning finish to a round of 64. Both men made birdie on the first trip up the last and then exchanged a pair of pars before Aphibarnrat went over the back and made a bogey, leaving Svensson two putts for par and his maiden victory. The…
Ryder Cup winner Robert MacIntyre trolled his American hosts at the Valspar Championship in Florida after labelling his caddie’s bib with the scoreline from Europe’s victory in Rome. The Scot, who was unbeaten with two-and-a-half-points in the Marco Simone Country Club in September, took advantage of a quirk of the tournament which allows players to choose their own wording for their bagman’s attire. MacIntyre opted for EUR 16.5 – 11.5 USA, a reference to America’s crushing defeat as Luke Donald’s side won back the trophy, for Mike Burrows’ bib. However, Englishman Burrows was not even on MacIntyre’s bag for the…
