We love a bit of golf rowdiness here at GP. In fact, The Phoenix Open is one of the true highlights of the whole season with its booze-fuelled amphitheatre holding 20,000 bonkers fans at the 16th. But when you get one half-wit...
Race to Dubai leader Patrick Reed is relishing the chance to become the first American to be crowned European Number One as he aims to better his tied second place finish two years ago at the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai.
Ahead of the US Open, Spanish tennis ace and 14-time Grand Slam winner, Rafa Nadal has joined the Costa Brava Barcelona 2022 pitch team. And he's a mad keen golfer!
It was a very happy 33rd birthday for Mel Reid. The English player celebrated her special day in style, tying her career-low round of 7-under 65 on Saturday and jumping to the top of the leaderboard at the Cambia Portland Classic. With six birdies and two bogeys in Saturday’s 68, Green is in prime position for a repeat victory in Portland.

Jordan Spieth missed the cut this week at The Barclays. It happens. We got so used to Tiger Woods being seemingly infallible when he was World Number One that everyone panics that the end of the world is nigh when the official best player in the world misses the cut. A panic that Jordan will never play a good round again. Yet even the best don’t play the weekend every tournament.
Anyone who was at the British Masters, or watched it on TV, will know what an excellent tournament it was. With the European Tour courting sponsorship dollars across Europe and beyond in order to maintain operations and expand, it seems that there has been less focus on holding events in the UK.
