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…
The 125th US Open gets underway on Thursday the 12th of June, with historic Oakmont in Pennsylvania hosting the event. This will be the third major of the season after Rory McIlroy finally completed the career Grand Slam by winning the US Masters and Scottie Scheffler showed he was well and truly back to his…
Around two million people are in prison in the US, which is a staggering statistic, and many believe that the criminal justice system in the country simply doesn’t work. Which may seem like a strange way to begin an article about the US PGA Championship but bear with us! Perhaps, in a roundabout way, Scottie…
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. Now the second major of the calendar year, the US PGA still struggles…
In the early hours of the 14th of April 2025 UK time, Rory McIlroy finally ended his long, long major drought. His last victory in one of the game’s big four events came way back in 2014, at that year’s USPGA Championship. Many, quite possibly including the man himself, had begun to believe that he…
The Ryder Cup ensures there is always a simmering, though usually friendly, rivalry between golfers from the USA and Europe. The divisions caused by LIV may have blurred those traditional boundaries, perhaps uniting players on both sides of the argument, irrespective of where they come from. However, there is no doubt that for golfers on…
The 2025 Players Championship is underway as Scottie Scheffler looks to defend his crown… again. Twelve months ago he made history by becoming the first player ever to win this prestigious tournament back to back. It was an incredible year for the man from New Jersey in 2024 and his victory at the iconic TPC…
The modern world faces many challenges. Compared to the issues in the many other conflict zones around the world, plus the ever-present threat of terrorism, the impending climate catastrophe and the massive upheaval AI might bring, the issues faced in the world of sport seem almost irrelevant. Nonetheless, with attention spans shorter than ever, all…
Thomas Detry claimed his first win on the PGA Tour by taking the Phoenix Open in real style last week. The Belgian opened with a 66 and then proceeded to shoot three rounds even lower than that to saunter to the biggest win of his career. The man from Uccle (that’s Uccle, near Brussels, rather…
The Old Course at St Andrews is to host The Open Championship for a record-extended 31st time in 2027. Considered by most golf fans and players as the “home of golf”, St Andrews first hosted The Open – which is the world’s oldest golf tournament – back in 1873, and most recently in 2022. The…
