The DP World Tour looks to put a cap on its ‘Opening Swing’ of the 2026 season with this week’s AfrAsia Mauritius Open. This event was first played in 2015 and this year will mark its ninth playing. Last year, this event was held at the Mont Choisy Le Golf for the second time in tournament history. This year, Heritage La Réserve Golf Links will once again play host, marking the second time that this course has hosted the event with 2023 being the first time. Previously, the L

This is the first of two season preview pieces I’ll be running for Out of the Rough – the second will be for the HotelPlanner Tour, which again starts and finishes later in the year than the Korn Ferry Tour. Last year was the first year that I wrote about the KFT for this site, and the first year that I did full previews. Looking back, I’m pleased with the coverage – apart from a couple of weeks of holiday in August we covered every event and I’m pleased with the depth that w

Some of the best men and women golfers from across the world come together for this week’s Grant Thornton Invitational. This is a very unique format for multiple reasons but none more notable than it being a mixed invitational with stars from both the PGA and LPGA tours teaming up to take to the Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida. This year marks the third edition of the Grant Thornton Invitational, having taken over for the now defunct QBE Shootout and was first staged in

The DP World Tour enters the penultimate week of the ‘Opening Swing’ with a second consecutive stop in South Africa for this week’s Alfred Dunhill Championship. This event has been a mainstay on the schedule since 2000 where it was first played at Houghton Golf Club through 2004. It was then staged at Leopard Creek from 2005 through 2024 (outside of 2017 for course renovations and 2020 due to COVID19.) Now, for the 19th edition of the event, the Alfred Dunhill Championship ha

For the second consecutive week, the DP World Tour stays in Australia, traveling south from Brisbane to Melbourne for this week’s Crown Australian Open. The Crown Australian Open is the oldest and most prestigious event on the PGA Tour of Australasia’s schedule and will be con-sanctioned this week with the DP World Tour. This will be the fourth edition of the event being co-sanctioned by the two tours. It was first played in 1904 and since 1930, the winner has been awarded th

Although just two weeks deep of the 2026 DP World Tour season, the Tour splits, with two events taking place this week. As some remain in Australia for this week’s Crown Australian Open, others take to South Africa with a slew of PGA Tour regulars for this week’s Nedbank Golf Challenge in honour of Gary Player. Last year’s edition of this event saw it be played during the Fall for the very first time. For 2022 and 2023, this event served as the penultimate stop on the DP Worl

With the 2025 season officially behind us, the PGA Tour has a few remaining tournaments before the kickoff of the 2026 season. With that, comes the Hero World Challenge. The Hero World Challenge is a limited invitation only event that yields a high-class field consisting of just 20 players. This event was first staged at Greyhawk Golf Club in 1999. From there, it moved to the Sherwood Country Club in California in 2000 where it was staged for 14 years. From there, the event

Just two weeks removed from the DP World Tour Championship and the conclusion of the 2025 DP World Tour season, the 2026 season officially kicks off with this week’s BMW Australian PGA Championship! This week also begins the Tour’s ‘Opening Swing’ that will run for five events, running from now through the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open at the end of December. This will serve as the first of two stops in Australia before the Tour heads to South Africa. The BMW Australian PGA Cha

Ahead of next week's Ladies European Tour finale at Real Guadalhorce Club de Golf for Andalucia Costa del Sol Open de Espana I thought I would do a recap of what's been an interesting season on LET in 2025. We have reached the 27th and final event on the LET schedule which has spanned the whole globe. From a cancelled event due to a Cyclone in Queensland to extreme waterfall levels of rain in Taiwan which caused it to become a 36-hole tournament to Aramco Series events in Sau

Following 32 events played across 11 different countries, the 2025 LPGA Tour season comes to an end with this week’s CME Group Tour Championship. As the final event of the season, golfers ranked within the top-60 of the season-long Race to the CME Globe standings qualify for this week’s event. It was first staged in 2014, taking over for the former LPGA Tour Championship. Since 2014, the event has been staged at the Tiburon Golf Club’s Gold Course and will again be played th

Just like that, the FedExCup Fall comes to an end with this week’s The RSM Classic. The RSM Classic will put a cap to not only the FedExCup Fall, but the 2025 PGA Tour season as a whole. Historically speaking, this event was once a laid back affair that had a tranquil vibe on the coast of Georgia but with the added implications of the FedExCup Fall, the pressure will be high this week. The top 100 of the FedEx Cup standings come Sunday will receive full exemption for the 2026

The LPGA Tour returns state-side for the penultimate event of the 2025 season for this week’s The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican. This is the fifth year that this event has been in existence and has been played at the Pelican Golf Club, also known as ‘The Pelican,’ for each of its editions. This is the only event on the LPGA schedule that is named after an individual, played under the namesake of golf legend Annika Sorenstam. The event benefits the ANNIKA Foundation w

We prepare to put a cap on the 2025 DP World Tour season with this week’s DP World Tour Championship. This event was first staged 16 years ago when the DP World Tour emulated the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup with its own version - the Race to Dubai. Traditionally, this event draws a star-studded field as it consists of the top 50 golfers within the Race to Dubai standings and this year is no different. The DP World Tour Championship is the fifth and final event of the Rolex Series an

We’re onto the penultimate stop of the FedExCup Fall series with a stop in Southampton, Bermuda for this week’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship. This is the sixth-of-seven stops of the FedExCup Fall as time is running out for those outside of the top 100 of the FedEx Cup Standings to secure themselves a card for the upcoming 2026 PGA Tour season. This event has been played since 2019 and has been held each year at Port Royal Golf Course in which this year will also be held.

The LPGA Tour is set to make its final stop in Asia after a five-event stay with this week’s TOTO Japan Classic. From here, the Tour will return to the states for three events to put a cap on the 2025 season, beginning with the The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican. This week’s event is co-sanctioned between the LPGA Tour and the LPGA of Japan Tour. The TOTO Japan Classic was first played in 1973 and has been played every year since, at various locations. The event will

There are few names, if any, more notable than that of Tiger Woods when it comes to the world of golf. With that, the PGA Tour continues on with the FedEx Cup Fall with the fifth-of-seven stops for this week’s World Wide Technology Championship at the Woods’ designed El Cardonal at Diamante Cabo San Lucas. This year marks the third consecutive season that this event has been held at El Cardonal, first being played in 2023. This event was previously staged at El Camaleon in Ma

Following 40 events played across five continents and 26 different countries, the DP World Tour enters its end-of-the-season playoffs. The DP World Tour Playoffs are here as this week’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship welcomes the top 70 golfers from the Tour’s season-long-standings. From here, the top 50 within the standings will advance to next week’s DP World Tour Championship at the Jumeirah Golf Estates. Yas Links plays host this week for the 20th edition of the Abu Dhabi HS

Well, folks, we’ve made it. This will be my last event preview of 2025, and it is a good one. The Grand Final on the Hotel Planner Tour is by far the best-televised feeder tour event (in Europe, certainly – I know the Golf Channel isn’t bad with KFT coverage) and it is a good field at a good course. With 20 cards to play for, the top 45 players in the field head to Majorca. This is what they’ve been building up to all season. Let’s not waste any time getting into it. The To

The LPGA continues on with its tour around Asia with this week’s Maybank Championship. Debuted in 2023, now entering its third edition, the Maybank Championship has been hosted at the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club in Malaysia each time and will do so again this week. As golfers continue to jockey for position in the Race to CME Globe standings, there are just three events, including this week, left on the schedule before the end-of-the-season CME Group Tour Championship at

Spanning nearly ten months, four continents and 25 countries, the 2025 DP World Tour regular season is coming to an end with this week's Genesis Championship. This event was first staged in 2023 and was held in the spring. It was moved to its new end-of-the-regular-season time slot a season ago and will continue to occupy that slot this season. The previous two installments of this event were staged at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea in Incheon, South Korea. This year’s ins
