Former US Masters champion Patrick Reed from the United States will compete in next week’s International Series Singapore, and the International Series Korea, the following week, further enhancing the strength of the field at the exciting new tournaments on the Asian Tour.
The R&A has made it clear where it stands on the LIV Golf issue by not asking Greg Norman to any of the festivities at the 150th Open Championship next week, including the Champions' Dinner. A statement from the R&A read as follows:
Will Zalatoris took advantage of calmer afternoon conditions to shoot a five-under 65 to lead the US PGA Championship by one shot heading into the weekend. The American sits on nine-under-par one shot ahead of Mito Pereira of Chile, who carded a four-under 66.
The PGA Championship carries one of the greatest prizes in professional golf. The annual tournament, played each May and open only to the sport’s most elite players, has a huge prize fund, making it a fiercely competitive affair. And that makes for a great spectacle.
World number one Scottie Scheffler takes a five shot lead into the weekend at The Masters. The last four players who led by five shots going into the weekend went to claim the green jacket, with Jordan Spieth the most recent to do so in 2015. 15:20 Mackenzie Hughes (Can), Adam Scott (Aus) 15:30 Viktor Hovland (Nor), Min-Woo Lee (Aus) 15:40 Marc Leishman (Aus), Seamus Power (Irl)
South Korea's Sung-jae Im leads the 86th Masters after an impressive five-under-par opening round of 67. He leads the in-form Cameron Smith of Australia by one shot heading into round two.
After four seasons in one event, The Players Championship concluded on Monday with Cameron Smith becoming the fifth Australian to pick up the coveted trophy and a cheque for a whopping $3.6 million. Overnight leader Anirban Lahiri of India and England's Paul Casey chased the Australian all the way but came up just short.
American Harold Varner III drained a colossal 92-foot putt for a 72nd hole eagle and the PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers title – beating close friend Bubba Watson by a single stroke.
Big-hitting Bryson DeChambeau has revealed he will arrive at next month’s PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers hitting the ball “further than ever” – prompting tournament organisers to ‘Bryson-proof’ Royal Greens Golf & Country Club.
Golf is a sport that has many top-class tournaments to keep fans entertained. From the Masters to the PGA Championship and more, there really is a lot of action to enjoy when not on the course. Of course, one of the most fiercely fought golf battles is the Ryder Cup.
The result was pretty much inevitable ahead of Rory McIlroy hitting the first shot of the Sunday singles. America had looked too strong for a misfiring Europe and it was a case of damage limitation.
Kerching! Patrick Cantlay went to wire-to-wire and saw off World number one Jon Rahm to win the Tour Championship, FedEx Cup and scoop the $15 million first prize. Cantlay closed with a one-under 69 at East Lake to finish twenty-one-under-par, a shot ahead of US Open champion Rahm, who carded a final round of 68.
