LIV Golf action returns to UK shores this week when the 11th tournament of the league’s 14-tournament schedule tees off at JCB Golf & Country Club in Staffordshire from July 23-26.
The league is making its fifth visit overall to England, having played its inaugural tournament at Centurion Club in 2022 and then again in 2023, before moving to JCB in 2023.
Last year’s LIV Golf UK event attracted over 43,000 spectators over the course of the three-day tournament, and with this year&

Ryan Fox reveals how he tamed Royal Birkdale’s fiery fairways and tricky greens to win the Open Championship
How does it feel to be Champion Golfer the Year?
Surreal, to be honest. It’s something you dream of. I used to get up in the middle of the night to watch this tournament when I was a kid back home. To even get a chance to play in it seemed like a pipe dream, so now to be an Open champion, to be the Champion Golfer of the Year, it’s unbelievable, crazy. I don’t have

Ryan Fox ended over 60 years of hurt for New Zealand in The Open Championship when rallying from tied 56th after 36 holes to top the leaderboard at Royal Birkdale with a stunning last-gasp birdie.
Not since Bob Charles captured the Claret Jug at Royal Lytham & St Annes in 1963 has a New Zealander won golf’s greatest prize, but all those years have rolled away now that Fox, the son of All Blacks rugby legend Grant Fox, added his name to the roll call of Champion Golfers of the Year with

Ellise Rymer was crowned English Women’s Amateur Champion at Moor Park Golf Club, after a thrilling final against Isabella Kent.
It marks an incredible week for Lincoln golfer Rymer, who qualified for AIG Women’s Open Final Qualifying on Monday, before four days of golf in Hertfordshire in which she became a national champion, joining a list of former winners including Bronte Law and Trish Johnson.
She said: “It’s unbelievable. I feel like I’ve worked so hard on my

Somewhere in the last fifteen years the mobile phone quietly became the most-used piece of equipment most amateurs carry. It is the yardage book, the scorecard, the handicap record, the tee sheet, the halfway house tab and, on the bad days, the swing camera. Nobody planned this. It happened one app at a time, and the result is that a great many golfers now rely on a device that the Rules of Golf treat with rather more caution than the average fourball does. It is worth knowing where the lines ac

After one of the more heated 24 hours in Open Championship history, it was somewhat apposite that a golfer named Sam Burns leads going into the final round at Royal Birkdale.
On a Saturday afternoon where just 12 of the final 40 players broke par, and every one of the 78 scorecards handed in featured at least one bogey, Burns shot a five-under 65 to finish on 10 under, taking him two shots clear of Ryan Fox and Si-woo Kim.
Second round leader Lucas Herbert scrambled a closing par to post a one-o

Lucas Herbert grabbed hold of a two-shot lead after an action-packed second round at The 154th Open Championship, which saw two players equal major history and Bryson DeChambeau being involved in a controversial rules decision.
DeChambeau had his strategy of playing the majors questioned before he arrived at Royal Birkdale after missing the cut at the Masters, The PGA Championship and the US Open, with the two-time major champion responding by following an opening-round 67 with a four-under 66.

Not so long ago, following sport meant watching, cheering, and arguing about it in the pub afterwards. Today, for millions of fans, it means playing along. Fantasy leagues, player props, and pick-em games have turned the passive viewer into an active participant, someone with a stake in a substitute’s cameo or a journeyman’s quiet afternoon. It is one of the biggest shifts in modern sport, and golf is quietly part of it.
The engine of that change is the pick-em boom, and platforms ha

Sunday afternoon, back nine, a major on the line. A player who has looked untouchable for three days suddenly cannot find a fairway. A four-shot lead becomes two, then one, then nothing, and a leaderboard that felt settled at lunch is a riot of red numbers by tea. There is nothing else in sport quite like it, and it is why, year after year, we cannot look away.
Part of the pull is that you can feel the swings coming before they land, and plenty of fans like to sharpen that edge-of-the-seat feeli

Golf has always belonged to the American summer. The US Open, the long swing of the PGA Tour season, and those endless light evenings on the range make it the time of year when the game feels most alive across the Atlantic. And in 2026, golf is sharing that summer with the biggest sporting show the continent has ever staged.
For the millions of US fans who follow more than one game, it is a gloriously crowded few months. Plenty like to add a little extra to the occasion, and for those who do, th

Ask any regular what golf is really about and few will start with the swing. They will talk about the walk, the company, and the hour spent in the clubhouse afterwards, pint in hand, reliving a round that was probably better in the retelling. Golf is a game, but it is also a ritual, and a big part of that ritual is how we switch off once the card is signed.
That instinct to unwind takes many forms. Some read, some tinker with their gear, and some enjoy a spot of low-key entertainment in the even

For a game that treasures its traditions, golf has taken to the analytics age with startling ease. The sport that once ran on a caddie’s gut and a player’s feel now runs on numbers too: strokes gained, launch angles, spin rates, and shot maps that would have baffled the greats of a generation ago. The soul of the game is untouched. The way we understand it has been rebuilt from the ground up.
That change belongs to the fan as much as the professional. Anyone who enjoys testing their

An American took the first-round lead at The 154th Open, but it wasn’t a major champion such as Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffle, Wyndham Clark or Collin Morikawa who got off to a fast start, it was world no.122 Jackson Suber, who marked his first ever trip to England to lead field at Royal Birkdale after day one thanks to a superb five-under-par 65.
The 26-year-old from Florida, who had never played a links course before this week, went out in a very unremarkable level-par 34, making t

Titleist’s new GTS300 mini driver, which goes on sale on July 23, features a larger, more forgiving design that the models it replaces, delivering exceptional distance, control and versatility off both the tee and turf.
The design of the new model, which has a 305cc sized clubhead, compared to the previous iterations 280cc, was heavily influenced by tour feedback, specifically from players like Justin Thomas and Cameron Young.

The 154th Open begins at Royal Birkdale on Thursday 16 July, with the Claret Jug decided after four rounds on Sunday. It is the 11th time the Southport links has hosted the championship and the first since Jordan Spieth’s victory in 2017. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose and Spieth are all part of the field.
Fans checking the outright market at the best golf betting site will recognise most of the leading names, but results recorded at Birkda

Ahead of his third appearance in The Open, world no.20 Ludvig Åberg reflects on his form coming into the season’s final major, his expectations for the Championship and the unique challenges of links golf.
We’re heading into the final golf Major of the season, are you happy with your performance so far? What has been the defining moment of 2026 for you?
Yeah, I think so. Overall, it’s been a solid year. Obviously, as a competitor, you always want more. You want more good

Ask a British golfer to name a Spanish golf destination and the answers come quickly: Sotogrande, the Costa del Sol, perhaps Mallorca. All deserve their reputations. But there is a stretch of the Spanish coast that most UK players fly straight over on their way to the usual suspects, and it happens to be one of the most rewarding places in the country to swing a club. It is called the Costa Cálida, and it sits in the region of Murcia, in the south-east of Spain.
For years this has been Sp

England’s Joe Dean claimed the top spot in the inaugural Last-Chance Qualifier to secure the final place in the field for The 154th Open at Royal Birkdale.
The winner-takes-all qualifier, a new event introduced for this year’s championship, saw 12 players chase their dream of playing in The Open by competing over 18 holes of the iconic Southport links.
The 32-year-old from Sheffield held his nerve for a one-shot victory in the warm and breezy conditions to seal the final spot in the

Johan Edfors produced a bogey-free final-round 66 to overturn a three-shot overnight deficit and secure his maiden Staysure Legends Tour title at the OFX Irish Legends.
The 50-year-old, Swede finished on 17-under-par to claim victory by three shots at Carton House, with  Robert Coles finishing runner-up on 14-under-par. Emanuele Canonica, the first-round leader, completed the podium on 11-under-par.
Starting the final round three shots behind Coles, Edfors made an immediate statement with a

Tom Kim produced a links golf masterclass at The Renaissance Club to the east of Edinburgh to claim a convincing victory in the Genesis Scottish Open.
The South Korean was flawless, being the only one of the 71-strong field not to drop a single shot in the testing winds of the final round.
Six birdies in total saw him post a closing 64 for a 17 under par total, two shots clear of Min Woo Lee who carded a 67, and four clear of a group of four players, comprising Matt Fitzpatrick, Johnny Keefer, K

At first glance, golf and online casinos might seem like an odd pairing. Golf is known for its tradition, precision, and country club charm, while online casinos carry a faster, flashier image tied to pokies, roulette wheels, and instant jackpots. Yet in the world of sports sponsorships, opposites often attract.
In Australia, where golf has a loyal following — with over 1.3 million active players by some estimates — and online casino activity continues to grow, the potential for part

England Golf Disability Squad star Kipp Popert has won the US Adaptive Open Championship for the fourth consecutive time, after a blistering performance at Woodmont Country Club in Maryland.
Three-time defending champion Popert fired a final round 63 for a 54-hole total of 18-under-par, six strokes ahead of 2022 champion Simon Lee and nine strokes clear of Americans Max Togisala and Justin Carlock.
The victory etches Popert’s name even further into the golfing history books, as he becomes

The principles set out are: 1) Respect the Players. 2) Respect the Links. 3) Respect Each Other. 4) Be Aware. 5) En

The Open Championship remains one of golf’s most demanding tests because it rewards creativity, patience, and smart course management as much as raw power. Royal Birkdale returns as the host venue in 2026, bringing a links layout where changing weather, deep bunkers, and firm fairways can quickly alter the leaderboard. Those conditions often make pre-tournament analysis especially valuable.
For sports fans and bettors, evaluating more than recent finishes is essential. Ball striking, scram

Delighted to welcome back our reigning Masters Champion, Rory McIlroy, to the Genesis Scottish Open.

The field for The 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale was completed in dramatic fashion on Tuesday as 20 players secured their places through Final Qualifying at four demanding links venues across England and Scotland.
A total of 288 players teed it up over 36 holes at Burnham & Berrow, Dundonald, Royal Cinque Ports and West Lancashire, with just five places available at each venue. As expected, changing weather conditions, testing links layouts and intense pressure combined to produce

Access to online entertainment keeps expanding, and so does the number of players joining online bingo games. Quick Pinoy bingo sessions during a break, longer play at home, or first-time tries on PAGCOR-licensed platforms such as GameZone all involve the same requirement: keeping an account protected. Enjoyment, promos, and game variety matter, yet account safety often determines whether play stays uninterrupted.
Many users spend time searching for the most entertaining bingo rooms, learning pa

Viktor Hovland was roared on by World Cup fans from his native Norway as he won a play-off to beat world no.1  Scottie Scheffler to win the PGA Tour’s Travelers Championship.

Hovland had a one-shot lead going into the fourth round on Sunday and was close to clinching vi

The 25-year-old went into the final day with a one-shot lead and relinquished her place at the top of the leaderboard in a fluctuating final round, with three bogeys in the first five holes.

Norfolk’s Sullivan Goddard has been crowned the English U18s Amateur Champion after producing superbly consistent golf across three days at Sand Moor Golf Club in Yorkshire.
The Thetford player posted rounds of 68, 72, 69 and 69 on the par-71 layout to finish -6, securing a three-shot victory over Sandy Lodge’s Nicholas Curran.

The Open Championship returns to the magnificent Royal Birkdale from the 16th to the 19th of July, 2026, marking the tenth time this prestigious venue has hosted golf’s oldest major. Nestled on the rugged Southport coastline, Birkdale has long been heralded as one of the fairest yet most rigorous links tests on the Open rota. However, while the iconic, ship-like Art Deco clubhouse and the famously flat fairways remain familiar sights, the course itself has recently undergone its most signi

Retro Irish football kits are highly attractive to fans with a longing for the past because such kits automatically link to moments of Irish national pride, namely Ireland’s participation in the quarter-finals at Italia ’90 and the green Adidas kit they used there. Having one of those kits allows a supporter to keep a memory alive that tells them how they got attached to the team, the era, and often their own childhood.
The desire for it is seldom about football only. To most people

Wyndham Clark’s wire-to-wire US Open victory was a masterclass in grinding out a major under fire, yet the week that matters most to British golf fans is still to come, and Rory McIlroy arrives at Royal Birkdale carrying unfinished business from Long Island.
There were moments across the four days at Shinnecock Hills when it genuinely felt as though the 2026 US Open might slip away from Wyndham Clark. The Long Island crowd had decided, loudly, that it would prefer almost anyone else to win
