LIV Golf’s 2023 individual champion Talor Gooch is disappointed he is without a Masters invitation while former world No.1 Lee Westwood says golf’s majors will lose credibility if they continue to use an “obsolete” Official World Golf Ranking when issuing invitations.
Despite now being in their 40s, Marc Leishman and Adam Scott continue to leave no stone unturned as they seek to improve and potentially author an unlikely victory at the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship.
