Sentosa Golf Club, site of a fairly regular series of professional golf events, is host to LIV Golf Singapore this week. The club, on Sentosa Island and adjacent to the Singapore Strait, has two courses. The Serapong course, which will be used this week, was site of a Asian Tour event four times between 2018 […]
International golf returns to Korea for the first time since 2019 this week as the DP World Tour stops at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon. A field with a strongly international flavor is headed by Polish player Adrian Meronk, 134th in the current Hawley Rankings, and Danish Rasmus Hojgaard, 127th. Meronk missed the […]
The PGA Tour’s annual team event, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, is being contested this week. They’re at TPC Louisiana in the New Orleans metro area town of Avondale.

It’s homecoming, or at least a return to the home continent, for all four members of the Ripper GC team in LIV Golf this week. None of the four — Cameron Smith, Matt Jones, Marc Leishman, and Jed Morgan — has a hometown particularly close to Adelaide, where the event will be played. Leishman comes […]

He lost to Jordan Spieth in a playoff last year, missed the cut in 2021, and was third twice and seventh between 2017 and 2019. […]
World no. 1 and defending champion Scottie Scheffler stands just a tiny bit taller than the rest as the world’s top golfers prepare to compete in the Masters this week. In addition to being a great fit for the course, Scheffler has been uniformly excellent in 2023. The 26-year-old Texan has won twice (Phoenix and […]
The mingling of what used to be normal events on the PGA Tour with $20 million (and up) events is causing the formerly normal events to suffer a severe reduction in strength of field. The latest example is this week’s Valero Texas Open in San Antonio TX, where one of the world’s top 20 golfers […]
It’s another inscrutable LIV event this week. Orange County National in Winter Park FL, located about seven miles north of Walt Disney World, is the host course for LIV Golf Orlando.
