    Written by Ross Tugwood on Friday 7 February 2025

    Rory McIlroy could play ‘a little scrum half’ joked Shane Lowry ahead of Ireland’s quarter-final clash with South Africa at the Rugby World Cup. Power, pace, precision. Brains, brawn, brutality. A world-class rugby team has it all, balanced across 15 players of varying shapes and skill sets. It’s not a bunch different from the composition of a Ryder Cup team in that...

    Written by Alex Perry on Monday 27 January 2025

    ‘Together We Roared’ will be released in April to coincide with the Masters One of the most ludicrous stats in this bonkers game of ours is that Steve Williams can boast being his country’s highest-paid sportsman after 12 years working on Tiger Woods’ bag. The New Zealander caddied for Woods in 13 of his 15 major wins, as well as more...

    R&A and USGA announce huge changes to “outrageous” golf rule

    Written by Rob McGarr on Wednesday 15 January 2025

    Golf rules changes for 2025 include a tweak that would have helped one very disgruntled PGA Tour pro.
