I’ve called this year’s HPT results confounding before now. Before, that is, we saw Freddie Kjetterup win on the back of form figures reading MC-2-MC-MC-MC-MC-MC-MC. Safe to say that I didn’t see his finish at the English Trophy coming. That said, he’s obviously good enough to win at this level – and still only 26, it’d be great if he could show something more like this week’s results for the end of the year, and get back to the DPWT after a very underwhelming LIV performance

The first week of the KFT playoffs produced a surprisingly compelling and high-quality competition, which would give a less arrogant writer pause to consider whether this was, in fact, a better golf course than my prediction suggested. I suspect it was mere coincidence. However, it was nice to see Alvaro Ortiz, backed a couple of times last month at longer prices, grab a win to officially confirm his card for next year. There are five cards now confirmed, with Ross Steelman,

After a three-week hiatus following the conclusion of the 2026 PGA Tour season and the TOUR Championship, all attention now turns to the FedEx Cup Fall series. The FedEx Cup Fall series kicks off this week with a brand new event, the Biltmore Championship Asheville. The Cliffs at Walnut Cove in Asheville, North Carolina will play host to this new event. This will be the very first professional event that The Cliffs at Walnut Cove has hosted. In 2025, there were seven FedEx Cu

Introduction The PGA Tour returns to the Blue Ridge Mountains this week for the first time since 1942, when Ben Hogan closed out three straight Asheville titles before the tournament vanished from the schedule entirely, and the Biltmore Championship Asheville picks up that thread with an event nobody currently playing has ever seen. The inaugural playing lands at the Jack Nicklaus designed Cliffs at Walnut Cove, a mountain course with zero competitive scoring data attached to

The third Rolex Series event of the DP World Tour season is upon us as the Tour takes to Wentworth for the BMW PGA Championship. This event joins the likes of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, Genesis Scottish Open, Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and DP World Tour Championship to serve as stops of the Rolex Series. This event was originally known as the British PGA Championship and was first staged in 1955. Since the inception of the DP World Tour in 1972, the BMW PGA Championship

Following a week off, the PGA Tour Champions Tour returns to action this week for the Sanford International. This event debuted in 2018 and has been held every year since. This season marks the ninth playing of the Sanford International. The Minnehaha Country Club in Sioux Falls, South Dakota has hosted each of the prior eight installments of this event. The historic club will once again play host this season. The Field Including this week, there are five events left until th

Last week saw John Gough win his second HPT event of the year, and third ever, and all but secure his DPWT card for next year, to say nothing of putting him a single win away from a battlefield promotion. The 2023 Walker Cupper may not have enjoyed quite as big a celebration as the 2026 class enjoyed in Lahinch on Sunday, but he earned a big night. The other thing he did was prove me very wrong indeed, in company with anyone else who opined on the week – it seems that bigger

The Korn Ferry Tour returns! Let’s leave aside the fact that they think three weeks off is the best way to prepare for the sharp end of the season. Let’s leave aside the fact that the first event restricted by KFT rankings is called an “Open.” Let’s just enjoy the fact that we have a tournament to enjoy in the USA for the first time in a few weeks. The Tournament So, open it may not be, but this is the start of the KFT playoffs. What that means, in practice, is that the top

The DP World Tour continues on with its ‘Back 9’ swing and the first of three national opens in that stretch with this week’s Amgen Irish Open. This nomadic event will take to the Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg, Ireland for the very first time. The Irish Open has been a staple of the DP World Tour’s schedule since 1974 but prior to that has had spells of being absent from the schedule. It was known as the Carroll's International in the 1970’s as well. This

Yet another confounding week on the HPT is in the books, with Christofer Blomstrand leading home a Swedish one-two in their home event on this tour, albeit at a new course. Blomstrand recently won the Scottish Challenge and, with five other top 15 finishes, has ascended to the top of the Road to Majorca rankings. The 34-year-old has been solid in previous seasons on the HPT (winning the Finnish event in 2024 and finishing in the top 100 nine times,) but he’s never looked like

The 2026 PGA Tour season may have come to an end but there is still meaningful golf being played across the pond as the DP World Tour continues on. The European based tour takes to Crans Montana, Switzerland for this week’s Omega European Masters at the stunning Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club. This event was first founded as the Swiss Open in 1923 and was first held at the Crans-sur-Sierre in 1939. This beautiful piece of golf-history has been the host of this event since. The Om

The PGA Tour Champions head to Grand Blanc Township in Michigan for this week’s The Ally Challenge. Since its inception in 2018, the Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club has played host, just as it will for the ninth consecutive season this week. The Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club has an extensive history, most notably for hosting the former Buick Open on the PGA Tour from 1958 to 2009. Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club is one of six former PGA Tour sites to host a PGA

The Korn Ferry Tour takes a break now until their playoffs begin on the 10th of September in Tennessee. My selections opted to start their break early, with two failing to make the cut and Alvaro Ortiz looking fantastic until midway through his second round, when he stopped making birdies and drifted backwards through the field. Yuto Sugiura had no such trouble and is yet another young Japanese player making an impact on a bigger stage – he’s just outside of card-gaining stat

The conclusion of the 2026 PGA TOUR season is here with one final stop at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia for this week’s TOUR Championship. Across the last eight months, golfers on the PGA Tour acquired cumulative FedEx points each week with eyes on making the 70-man field for the FedEx Cup Playoffs beginning two weeks ago at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. From there, the top 50-golfers within the FedEx Cup Standings advanced to last week’s BMW Championship and now

The LPGA Tour heads to just outside of Boston, MA for the third playing of the FM Championship this week. This week marks the third consecutive week of tournaments for the LPGA Tour, which has eight events left in the season. This event, held at TPC Boston, offers a $4.4 million purse, the second largest purse for a non-major or the CME Group Tour Championship on the season. Just the JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro had a larger purse this season. This is also t

The DP World Tour kicks off its ‘Back 9’ swing with this week’s Husqvarna British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo at The Belfry Hotel & Resort. This event was first staged in 1946 as the Dunlop Masters. It was played until 2008 when the event was lost from the schedule after Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano won at this week’s venue, The Belfry, in 2008. The event returned in 2015 when Ian Poulter hosted the event at Woburn. Since its return we’ve seen the likes of Luke Donald, Lee

The Irish Challenge did not work out as I expected. This has been a very tough season to predict on the HPT, and I’m not alone in having better results on the KFT, but flipping heck, I didn’t see South African domination coming to County Meath. Nor did I see slap-hitting veteran Justin Harding walking away with a win on one of the longest courses on the rotation, a week after finishing thirtieth in Scotland (that following two missed cuts.) Of course I’m aware of his pedigree

We have a new name at the top of the Korn Ferry Tour points list, with Ross Steelman’s second win carrying him ahead of Doc Redman and Ian Holt. Steelman and Redman are now officially Tour Bound and, with a commanding lead of 418 points, Steelman must be hoping to secure the top spot for the tour. He deserves it, having played consistently well all season and he was in many ways an unsurprising winner. Joining Blades Brown and Zac Blair at the top of the market for this week’

The penultimate event of the 2026 PGA Tour season is here with this week’s BMW Championship. Serving as essentially the semi-finals of the season, this event will cut the field from 50-golfers to 30-golfers for next week’s TOUR Championship. This event is nomadic, meaning it is staged at a different golf course across the United States each season. For the first time since 2008, the Bellerive Golf Course will host this season’s BMW Championship. Camilo Villegas won that inst

The final event of the 2026 LIV Golf season is upon us as the Tour heads to The Club at Chatham Hills for its individual championship. The Club at Chatham Hills was the final design of storied golf architect Pete Dye, who resided ten minutes from the venue. When the dust settles come Sunday, this also could very well be the final event of LIV Golf Tour in its entirety, or at least the LIV Golf Tour we know. The Field Jon Rahm has already secured his third LIV Golf Tour indiv
