Less than 24 hours after the Evian Championship was wrapped up by Jin Young Ko, 49 of the top 50 women in the world hightailed it to Milton Keynes to somehow prepare themselves for the very different test that Woburn Golf Club’s Marquess Course will offer.

ECCO GOLF has announced the signing of German golfers Esther Henseleit (24) and Freddy Schott (21) as brand ambassadors. Schott and Henseleit will be sporting shoes from ECCO GOLF’s innovative new SS23 collection when they begin their 2023 seasons.

There were more visits by US consumers to Scotland in the first nine months of 2017 than in the whole of 2016 according to new research, indicating continued growth from the US market and underlining its importance to Scotland’s visitor economy.
Celia Barquín (22), European Ladies' Amateur champion and leading student-athlete at Iowa State University, has been found murdered at the Coldwater Golf Links in Ames. A man, Colin Daniel Richards (also 22), has been charged with murder.
Most of us who bet on golf like to apply a little extra knowledge to our wagering. Or, at the very least, we believe we do. A little bit of analysis might have told us, for example, that Jon Rahm was a good thing last month.
