No matter whether you are a casual golf fan or a true die-hard aficionado, the dates of the four majors are among the most important in the golf calendar. The powers that be have shifted the order of the majors around many times over the years. However, since the US PGA Championship was moved in…
The final major of 2025 will take place at Royal Portrush between the 17th and 20th of July. Rory McIlroy completed the career Grand Slam by winning the Masters at the start of the major campaign, with Scottie Scheffler confirming his position as world number one by winning the US PGA Championship. We then had…
The 2025 Open Championship will take place between the 17th and 20th of July. It will be the 153rd edition of the tournament and although some refer to the tournament as the British Open, this year’s showdown will take place at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland. Of course, Northern Ireland is part of…
It rather pains us that JJ Spaun won the US Open and we took it less sportingly than the man he pipped, Robert MacIntyre. Yes, MacIntyre narrowly missed out on a first major and the first-place prize of $4.3m (the poor thing had to make do with the $2.3m he got for second). But we…
Just a month after Rory McIlroy made history by landing the career Grand Slam (when he won the 2025 US Masters), the game’s greatest players will head to North Carolina and the Charlotte suburb of Quail Hollow for the US PGA Championship.

On the 16th of June 2024, Rory McIlroy won just over $2.3m with a golfing performance that moved him up the world rankings to number two. It was also one of the worst days of his life. The Northern Irish ace, who alone with the game’s two GOATs, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, won four…

The Masters is unique in that it is played at the same venue every year, the iconic Augusta National in Georgia. The Open Championship, the only one of the quartet played outside the USA, has…
