I can’t take this anymore. I’m happy for Matt Fitzpatrick, and I know you are too, and I’m happy for the sport of golf. But sitting here alone, on another bleak Sunday night, watching the fireflies outside the window, I can’t escape my own truth.
Seven Australians and Kiwis Danny Lee and Ryan Fox are in the field for the 2022 US Open Championship at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, a course dripping in history and which shapes as a traditionally brutal examination by the United States Golf Association.
The newest development in the ground breaking BIOM series, Ecco BIOM C4 offers unrivalled 360-degree breathability, allowing golfers to stay cool and comfortable throughout their round.
The battle for golf’s future has featured two main characters: the PGA Tour, fronted by commissioner Jay Monahan, and LIV Golf, headed by CEO Greg Norman.
Australia’s only Masters champion, Adam Scott, has been recognised for significant service to golf at the elite level in this country, by being made a Member of the Order of Australia in Monday’s Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
Amid all the chaotic content surrounding the launch of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series, Rory McIlroy has been adamant that he will remain loyal to the PGA Tour. Fitting, then, that he picked up his 21st PGA Tour victory just one day after the completion of the first LIV Golf Invitational event outside London.
Jay Monahan has his hands full this week and beyond – you know, his tour’s existential crisis and everything – but the leaderboard at this week’s RBC Canadian Open should bring a smile to the PGA Tour commissioner’s face.
So, how was it for you? Did the earth move? Or was an underwhelming feeling of “meh” the prevailing aftertaste after three days of no-cut, guaranteed money tournament golf at The Centurion Club north of London?

Bryson DeChambeau called PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan on Tuesday to say he will play in the LIV Golf event in Oregon later this month, and there’s nothing that could change his mind.
Phil Mickelson wants to keep his PGA Tour membership – he made that clear in a carefully worded statement released Tuesday – but Dustin Johnson is grabbing his bag of cash and speeding away from Ponte Vedra Beach.
The opening press conference at the first edition of the LIV Golf Invitational Series was going along smoothly enough when Dustin Johnson detonated his bomb.
No, Alanis Morisette will not be the headline act for LIV Golf’s first ever “Après Golf” concert at Centurion Club in London later this week. But one of the revealed musical acts is equally as ironic as rain on your wedding day. Or a traffic jam when you’re already late.
