Less than a month into his tenure as just the fifth chief executive in the European/DP World Tour’s more than 50 years of existence, Guy Kinnings isn’t having to look too far for problems that need solving.
As things stand, the regulations for Ryder Cup eligibility provide a possible pathway into the team that competes on the road at Bethpage Black for Rahm and any other European player currently plying his trade on the LIV Golf League.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — He wasn’t happy. That was clear and, perhaps, fair enough. The conclusion to Nicolai Hojgaard’s second round in his first Masters hadn’t gone well. “Decent” drives on Augusta National’s last two holes eventually bequeathed a brace of sloppy bogey 5s, dropped shots that left the Dane on four under par for the Read more…
The first round of this Masters was the 2016 champion’s first competitive round of golf since he finished a lowly T-64 in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth last September.

The story of the 72nd green doesn’t begin to tell the story of a final day littered with a whole range of shot-making, all the way from abysmal to amazing.
For all that the immediate future remains unknown – save for the fact that Pelley will remain with the tour until April to try to help see the negotiations with the PGA Tour, the PIF and the SSG through to a conclusion – the perennial problem facing the DP World Tour (what was the European Tour) is unlikely to change.
