GB&I claim historic PGA Cup victory

For the first time since 2017, and just the eighth time in history, Great Britain & Ireland has won the Llandudno International Trophy following a 16.5-9.5 victory over the United States in the 32nd PGA Cup at The K Club in Ireland.
GB&I entered Sunday’s singles matches with an 11.5-4.5 lead, needing just two points to win. While the result seemed inevitable, the Americans did not go down without a fight, splitting the singles session at 5-5.
GB&I Captain David Scott had his si

A golf holiday is a trip built around golf, combining accommodation with reserved rounds, as distinct from a single green-fee day or a beach holiday with one round bolted on. A golf break is the shorter version of the same idea. The best destination for 2027 is the one that matches four things: who is travelling, how long you have, what style of golf you want, and how far you are willing to travel to get it.
That sounds obvious, but it is where most destination lists fail. A flat countdown of fa

The UK has been closely associated with golf for centuries, and that reputation still attracts players looking for a memorable break. While overseas destinations have become increasingly accessible and desirable, especially for warmer weather, travelling within the UK still offers plenty of appeal for a few days of golf.
Part of that appeal comes from the convenience of domestic travel. A golf trip can be easier to arrange when no international flight is involved, particularly if the break lasts

In the recreational realm, many people look forward to golf after work or on the weekend. It provides a reason to spend time away from the usual routine while doing something they genuinely enjoy.
But golf can also create opportunities outside of playing. A hobby that takes up much of your spare time could potentially become a small source of additional income if you find the right approach. Of course that doesn’t mean giving up your day job or trying to turn yourself into a professional g

Some careers are built on a cabinet full of majors. Others are defined by a single week. Golf’s history is full of players who beat the strongest field in the sport once, lifted the trophy and never repeated it.
Their stories are also a reminder, for anyone betting with Virgin Bet on the majors, that the names at the top of the market do not always finish there.

Ten years after making his professional debut at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, Adrian Meronk became a five-time DP World Tour winner after claiming an emotional victory at the Home of Golf.
The 33-year-old Pole fired a final round 68 on the Old Course, after rounds of 71, 66 and 63, to reach 20 under par on a windy Sunday in St Andrews and claim a two-shot win over Casey Jarvis and Niklas Nørgaard in the 25th anniversary of the tournament.

Matt Fitzpatrick’s three-shot victory at last week’s FedEx Open de France was achieved with a masterclass in accurate driving, stunning play around the greens and some clutch putting.
It all added up to a fourth win in what is shaping up to be one of the most impressive seasons in his career, with the current world no.5 cementing himself as one of the most dominant forces in men’s professional golf following victories in the Valspar Championship, RBC Heritage, and famously team

Kate and Justin Rose welcomed a group of young golfers to the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth last week as part of the Foundation’s work to make the game more accessible to children across the UK.
The children, who have upper body limb differences, are beneficiaries of the Sport for All UK initiative, which is supported by the Kate & Justin Rose Foundation (KJRF).
As part of the BMW PGA Championship community day, the youngsters had the opportunity to meet Kate and Justin before taki

JJ Spaun capped a memorable BMW PGA Championship debut by claiming his maiden Rolex Series title at Wentworth, sealing victory with a stunning finish. But alongside the celebrations came one of the week’s most unusual sights, a Jeremy Clarkson mask in the gallery. In his winning interview, Spaun explains the story behind it, his love of the Cotswolds and what the biggest win of his career means to him.
Q. Many, many congratulations on winning the 2026 BMW PGA Championship. Iconic even

Most home simulator budgets go on the launch monitor, and the screen gets whatever is left over. That is the wrong order of priority. The screen is the one component struck on every single shot, and a grainy, noisy, or bouncy surface will undermine an expensive setup, swing after swing. These are the seven best golf impact screens for indoor golf simulators in 2026, ranked on what actually matters once the ball is moving.
Why the screen decides how your simulator feels

JJ Spaun produced a superb finish to claim the BMW PGA Championship on his Rolex Series debut at Wentworth Club.
The American carded a closing 67 to finish 17 under par and secure a two shot victory over England’s Aaron Rai, Australia’s Adam Scott, Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy and Spain’s Manuel Elvira.
Spaun began the final round one shot behind overnight leader Elvira, but recovered from an early bogey at the first with birdies at the fourth and fifth.

Chengdu is easy to underestimate because its most enjoyable moments often look unhurried. A tea table stretches into the afternoon. A meal becomes a conversation. A short walk turns into a visit to a courtyard or a neighborhood shop. Choose a hotel that lets those pauses happen without making every attraction feel like a timed appointment.

Most golfers lose strokes not because of their swing, but because of bad yardage information. The best golf rangefinders fix that fast, but picking the wrong one creates its own headaches, from slope modes that aren’t USGA tournament-legal to pin-seeking tech that loses the flag on overcast days. Choosing between laser and GPS, slope and non-slope, premium optics and budget builds takes more research than most people expect. After reviewing the top options across accuracy, usability, and r

The UK is moving to close a loophole that has let unlicensed operators appear on shirts, hoardings and streams watched by British audiences. Much of that exposure has come from Asian facing brands. For anyone comparing betting sites in 2026, the question is no longer just where the odds are best. It is whether the logo on the front of the shirt belongs to a company that can legally accept your bet at all.

Justin, welcome to the BMW PGA Championship. This is a bit of a home game for you. Just tell us how much you enjoy being here at Wentworth.
JUSTIN ROSE: Obviously great to be playing so close to home. The BMW PGA Championship obviously a flagship on the DP World Tour. It feels that way.
It feels like a great tournament. I always feel like this tournament is so well supported.
It does have a good buzz about it, and then obviously there’s the local feel of friends and family coming out to pl

Golf does not produce superstars on schedule. A teenager can dominate junior events and disappear on tour. The better forecast starts with transferable evidence: winning in strong fields, controlling more than one ball flight, saving shots after a missed green and handling the final nine without changing tempo. Five young golfers already meet those public tests. Jeeno Thitikul and Lottie Woad have converted promise into LPGA victories. Akshay Bhatia and Aldrich Potgieter have won on the PGA Tour

Have you ever looked forward to a free afternoon, only to fill it with so many plans that it feels just as exhausting as your workweek? It’s easy to fall into the habit of treating every open hour as an opportunity to accomplish something or cross another item off a list. Before long, even your leisure time starts to resemble another set of obligations.
But true downtime is rarely about squeezing more activities. Sometimes, the most rewarding moments come from giving yourself permission to

Interest rates matter a lot when it comes to how much your savings can grow. When interest rates go up, people who save money might get interest on their deposits. That means their savings can grow faster. When interest rates go down, the returns from many savings accounts can drop. This makes it important to know how changes in the interest-rate environment can impact your money.
If you are using a money comparison website, keeping an eye on interest rate fluctuations will help you examine vari

Golf Australia events span a competitive calendar that runs deeper than most casual fans realize, from a national Open that predates World War I to a state amateur championship older than the Open itself. Australia’s golf tournament structure reflects the same pattern seen in the country’s player development: a small population producing an outsized number of genuinely historic, well-run events. This article breaks down the tournaments that actually matter, backed by founding dates,

Golf Australia has produced a disproportionate number of world-class players relative to the country’s population, a fact that becomes obvious the moment you line up major championship wins against nations several times Australia’s size. From Peter Thomson’s dominance in the 1950s Open Championship to Cameron Smith’s recent major breakthrough, Australian golf has consistently punched above its weight on the global stage. This article breaks down exactly who the numbers sa
