Who will win the 154th Open Championship?

Now that the US Open is over and done with, July approaches. And with July comes a weekend steeped in history, when The Open begins. The 154th Open Championship is set to start on 9th July, and the tournament will be played at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England.
 
The course takes players through towering dunes, with flat fairways obscured from the rest of the course, and the iconic Royal Birkdale clubhouse. It’s played host to 10 Open Championships in its history, but who will win

For a long time, the word “pleats” conjured up images of the oversized, billowy trousers of the mid-nineties—garments that seemed to swallow the wearer in a sea of unnecessary fabric. But as the pendulum of style swings back from the ultra-skinny silhouettes of the early 2010s, we are witnessing a refined renaissance. The modern pleated trouser is a feat of balance; it provides the extra room and comfort of traditional tailoring while maintaining a sharp, tapered line that feel

Golf has always rewarded patience. Fans follow form across four rounds, study course conditions and watch how players respond to pressure when a tournament tightens on Sunday afternoon. That same measured approach now shapes how many Australian golf followers compare digital wagering options before a major event or weekly tour stop.
Rather than choosing a platform on impulse, more fans are looking at usability, market depth, payment options and safer gambling tools. For readers comparing golf be

The British television landscape is undergoing a massive transformation. In 2026, the traditional satellite dish is rapidly becoming a relic of the past. Driven by the nationwide rollout of full-fibre broadband and the soaring costs of traditional TV packages, millions of households are cutting the cord. The future of broadcasting has arrived, and it is entirely internet-based.

 Rory McIlroy chasing history and Scottie Scheffler targeting the career Grand Slam, this week’s US Open at Shinnecock Hills has the makings of a major that will be remembered for years.
The United States Golf Association confirmed last September that Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York, would host the 126th US Open on 18-21 June 2026. It is the sixth time the club has hosted the championship, and the layout has a habit of making reputations and breaking hearts in equa

John Catlin clinched his fifth national open title after coming through a mammoth play-off to win the English Open supported by HotelPlanner.
The 35-year-old American birdied the seventh play-off hole at the Vale Golf Club in Worcestershire to beat Norwegian Kristian Krogh Johannessen, after they matched pars on each of the first six additional holes.
Earlier, the duo couldn’t be separated in regulation play, both finishing on 18 under par, Johannessen birdieing the 16th and 17th hole for

Wyndham Clark outbattled the wind, the unforgiving rough, 155 rivals and a decidedly frosty New York crowd to claim his second US Open Championship at a fiercely challenging Shinnecock Hills.
Starting the final round with a six-shot lead – a margin that had only once been previously thrown away in Major championship history – Clark fired a closing three-over-par 73 to finish on four-under and seal a one-shot win over fellow countryman Sam Burns to follow up his win at Riviera Country

Stuart Grehan claimed the biggest victory of his career as the Irishman triumphed in The 131st Amateur Championship at Royal Liverpool.
In a tight 36-hole showdown, the 33-year-old from County Louth thwarted a late rally by American Matt Moloney and won by one hole to be the first Irish winner since James Sugrue in 2019.
A year after his County Louth club-mate Gavin Tiernan had lost in the final at Royal St George’s, Grehan went one better and followed in the footsteps of the decorated Iri

If you have ever opened a slot, looked at the info panel and seen “RTP 96%”, it probably felt reassuring for a second. A neat number, almost like the game is giving you a clue. Then reality hits: you can still lose twenty spins in a row. That is where many players get confused, especially when they move between slots, poker pages, bonus offers and searches like non gamstop poker sites without really stopping to read what the terms mean. RTP is useful, but it is not a promise. It is n

Arguably considered as one of the greatest golfers in history, Tiger Woods has a long-standing legacy that spans over 30 years. He was just 20 years of age when he made his professional debut, and is now a legendary golfer who inspires a lot of youngsters.
Over his long-lasting career, Woods managed to set numerous records on the golf course. Many of them are still standing to this day, some of which are hard to break even by the best players. We went through the troubles of finding the most imp

While individual accolades define a golfer’s career, the underlying subtext of global golf has always been a territorial battle over which side of the Atlantic breeds the finest players.
From the high-octane drama of the Ryder Cup to the gruelling test of individual Major championships, the balance of power has continuously shifted. To truly understand where the rivalry stands today, we must look at both the historical weight of American dominance and the brilliant, modern European renaiss

Jamaica is known for its brilliant blue waters, dynamic culture, reggae music, and tropical settings.

Every weekend, club golfers hit hundreds of balls at the range and still card the same scores on Saturday. The effort is real, but the results rarely follow. Practice, it turns out, is a skill of its own.
Golfers who improve fastest practise with a plan and a feedback loop, not just a large bucket. Tools like GolfWiz AI now give that feedback between lessons, putting a swing check in every player’s pocket. This guide explains how to make practice actually pay off.
Why Does Range Time Rarel

Golf has always been a sport of precision, analysis, and self-improvement. For decades, players relied on swing coaches, video analysis at the range, and slow-motion replays to understand their mechanics. Today, the tools available to golfers have expanded dramatically, making it easier than ever to document your game, track progress, and share your experiences on and off the course.
Video documentation has become central to modern golf culture. Whether you’re recording a round for social

The 37-year-old from Southend  was quick out of the blocks on Sunday with back-to-back birdies to start, and he made four more gains before the turn to reach 20 under par for the week, moving five shots clear of Marc Warren and George Bloor at the halfway point.

Nelly Korda won the US Women’s Open for her second consecutive major victory, holding off Charley Hull and Gaby Lopez by one shot when her final putt curled perilously around the cup and dropped in.
Korda’s first US Open win is the fourth major victory of her career, and she claimed it with a steady two-under-par 69 in the final round at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles – but only after her second putt on the 18th green – from 30 inches – caught the edge and perf
