Research commissioned by The Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) has revealed that 17.5 million people across the UK and Ireland are engaged with golf without stepping foot on a course. It’s a staggering figure if valid, and when added to the 4.9 million ‘on-course’...

Golf rules changes for 2025 include a tweak that would have helped one very disgruntled PGA Tour pro. The best golf drivers these days are designed with thin faces to produce fast ball speeds and maximum distance.

A round of golf in Japan is probably very different to any you’ve experienced before. Everyone has their own opinion on how long a round of golf should take. Some like to tee off before dawn to ensure they’re the first on the course, so they can whizz round and have 18 holes finished long before breakfast. And then there are...

We’ve seen some incredibly fortunate (and not-so fortunate) instances on tour – but what do you do if your golf ball hits another ball? Allow us… There’s something strangely exhilarating when a golf ball hits another ball. Maybe it’s the thrill of seeing something that doesn’t happen too often. Maybe it’s the element of the unknown. It’s almost certainly a combination...

Unless you’re a conspiracy theorist, you’ll have noticed that the world’s climate is changing, and golf is updating its rules to reflect the unpredictable nature of the weather.

It was one of the best bits about LIV Golf. Now it’s no more… Why can’t tour players wear shorts? It is, somewhat ironically, one of the hottest topics each year. Tiger Woods doesn’t know why it’s not allowed and has campaigned for it in the past. “We play in some of the hottest places on the planet,” the 15-time major champion said a...
