It is two weeks since Sheffield’s Matthew Fitzpatrick celebrated success at the Andalucia Masters and the European Ryder Cup star is fancied to claim another title when he tees it up at this week’s Bermuda Championship this week. Fitzpatrick, 10/1 to win, heads a field that is thin in terms of star quality, but there […]

Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama needs to rediscover his best to feature at the Zozo Championship this week, but Steve Palmer believes young up-and-coming Japanese talent Takumi Kanaya could be a lively outsider at Narashino Country Club. American Duo Dominating the Zozo Market Tiger Woods won the last Zozo Championship at Narashino Country Club, but the […]

The European Tour stops in Mallorca this week and big-hitting Belgian Thomas Pieters is amongst Steve Palmer’s fancies to go well at Golf Santa Ponsa. The 29-year-old is already a four-time European Tour winner and ranks as a big fish in the field this week. Canter Looking to Sustain His Gallop Laurie Canter took a […]

Valderrama is back, dubbed as Europe’s toughest test! I am curious to see who will tame the beast this week, and with no Sergio Garcia in the field I expect an unfamiliar face to claim victory. Notoriously known for its difficulties and meandering cork tree-lined fairways (with some holes even in the middle of the […]

Johnson became only the third player in history to win five points in a Ryder Cup match – his performance at Whistling Straits at the end of last month was magnificent – and there must be every chance that the former world number one finishes the year with a flourish. Johnson lost his way for […]

World number one Rahm is 3/1 to claim the Open de Andalucia this week at Valderrama this week, but he will have been disappointed with his 17th place at the Open de Espana last week when he went off at another short price. Rahm was unable to get his putter going in the final three […]

The home of golf never disappoints: St Andrews simply provides magic. Danny Willets’ return to the winners circle at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship isn’t a surprise given his pedigree, great to see his return to form. I believe we will see Danny’s name at the top end of many leader-boards in the coming months, […]

Starting back in 1927, when the USA took on Great Britain, the Ryder Cup has become one of the biggest sporting events in the world, and there have been some sensational editions of this event during its long history. With the 2021 Ryder Cup kicking off at Whistling Straits on Friday, we have taken a […]

Jon Rahm has taken the surprising decision to warm-up for the Ryder Cup by playing in this week’s Fortinet Championship but, even with motivation a potential issue, it is hard to ignore the rock-solid claims of Europe’s Spanish bull. Previously known as the Safeway Open, the Fortinet marks the beginning of the 2021-22 PGA Tour […]

Improving Pieters One to Watch The Belgian bomber has always been one of the best ball-strikers on the circuit, winning four European Tour titles as well as the World Cup alongside Thomas Detry, but over the last couple of years, a lack of success with putter in hand has been a cause of great concern. […]

Hovland Hoping to Strike Viktor Hovland closed with a 65 in the Tour Championship on Sunday – ending his PGA Tour season on a high – and the Norwegian youngster is 8/1 favourite for the BMW PGA Championship. That finishing flourish at East Lake Golf Club, Atlanta, Georgia, meant Hovland was the fourth-best scorer of […]

Tiger Woods is widely considered one of the greatest golfers of all time. The US star has won 15 major titles and jointly holds the record with Sam Snead for the most victories on the PGA Tour with 82. Woods has achieved so much in his career and there have been countless brilliant performances down […]

The venue of many magical moments on the PGA Tour, who this year will take the richest prize in golf? The field is stacked with big names, all seemingly making a run at taking the 10 million prize home… The playoffs have reduced the field down to the top 30 reaching the final, so it’s […]

Patrick Cantlay won the BMW Championship in an epic playoff against Bryson DeChambeau last Sunday – a victory which moved him atop the FedEx Cup standings. First place in the FedEx list is never more important than in the days leading up to the PGA Tour Championship – because since 2019 a handicap system has […]

Matthew Fitzpatrick and Tommy Fleetwood top the betting for the Italian Open and both seem sure to be popular selections for the Rome gathering. Fitzpatrick and Fleetwood are tidy enough from tee to green to approach the Marco Simone Golf Club with confidence. The course has not been used since 1994, so it is uncharted […]

The field in the FedEx Cup playoffs has been cut to 70 from 125 for this week’s BMW Championship and all eyes will be on which 30 players will qualify for next week’s climax in the Tour Championship, where a $15million first prize will be up for grabs at East Lake. Tony Finau sits at […]

The picturesque Swiss Alps provide a stunning backdrop at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club as the European Tour heads to Crans Montana this week for the Omega European Masters. A clash with the closing stages of the FedEx Cup playoffs in America means the field in this mainstay of the tour is not as star-studded as in […]

Jon Rahm returns this week from an enforced month off and the world number one should be ready to justify his status as favourite for The Northern Trust. For the second time this year, a positive Covid test rattled Rahm and he had to shelve plans to compete in the Tokyo Olympics. Instead of jetting […]
