Talks are expected over the merging of the tours, and…

Unbeknownst to most people in DFW, Tiger Woods has visited Fort Worth recently to “play” on a golf course. Still the world’s most famous golfer, by a considerable distance, you may see Tiger a few more times around Fort Worth in the coming year. He is involved in the design and construction of a golf course in Aledo that should be open in early 2026. Should be. Weather permitting. A plan that was in the inception phase for years is finally underway in west Fort Worth. The Bluejack Ranch in Aledo will be a high end community that features a…

Tiger Woods has etched his name into time immemorial with his contributions and stature in golf. However, in his extensive career, he has undergone so many surgeries that he is no longer a stranger to slipping out of events. In the past two years, he has decided only to take part in the Majors, and some very selective signature events. Looks like now he will be appearing on the golfing greens sporadically. But why is it so? Tiger Woods has been an old victim to back pains. This started back in March 2014, when he had to withdraw on the…

Fans might not be enthusiastic about TGL, but sponsors are! While a recent poll on social threw TGL’s future into uncertainty, Rory McIlroy scored another touchdown for his TGL franchise. Financial giant, FM has announced a partnership with Boston Common Golf.

LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman has spoken about the organisation’s new communications officer, who previously worked with Nike and Coverse Greg Norman has praised LIV Golf’s newest recruit ahead of the 2025 season. The LIV Golf calendar ended with the Team Championship finals in Dallas last month. Ripper GC clinched the title with a three-stroke lead, partly thanks to late birdie putts from captain Cameron Smith and Lucas Herbert, and claimed the £10.5million ($14m) grand prize. The end of the 2024 season gives the breakaway league time to bolster their ranks, with the new campaign beginning in Riyadh in February.…

Rory McIlroy has made his feelings clear ahead his interactions with two of the most powerful men in golf – LIV Golf chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan and PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan – this week Rory McIlroy says the game of golf “needs” to change in a plea to PGA Tour and LIV Golf bosses ahead of this week’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland. Rarely for the four-time major champion, McIlroy is arguably not the headline attraction at the tournament this week – which is played across St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns. PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan and LIV Golf…

Arguably, the men’s first major gets the most hype. The 2020 season was not different, but the patrons couldn’t be at Augusta National because of COVID-19 restrictions. Thus, the golfers were alone without any cheers or to witness Tiger Woods’s career-worst shot. If you have forgotten, Woods was the defending champion, and at the age of 44, people still expected him to win another. However, the 15-time major winner was nowhere close to contending, and that got worse as he shot 10 at the par-3 12th hole. Although patrons weren’t there to watch it, it was still all over the…

The wait for the Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s brainchild league, TGL, would finally be over in just two months! TGL was delayed after a dome mishap destroyed the Palm Beach Arena, but now the simulation league is turning up well and gearing up for the inauguration in January 2025. But before that, the TGL fans will be surprised by all the behind-the-scenes of how the team was made and its operations. As previously revealed, TGL will have six different teams, one being Boston Common Golf featuring McIlroy, Hideki Matsuyama, Keegan Bradley, and Adam Scott. Owned by the Fenway Sports…

TGL wasn’t off to a good start. TGL offers a team concept, yes like LIV Golf, but what sets it apart is the technology. The golf world once accused TGL of copying LIV Golf, and it garnered a lot of criticism when its launch was delayed because of an unfortunate roof-collapsing accident because of weather. It was then announced that TGL would be rolled out early in 2025, but now it seems that fans are not so excited about it anymore. TGL is the brainchild of big names like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. NUCLR GOLF ran a poll on…

Justin Thomas has detailed a sweary conversation he had with Tiger Woods during the 2019 Presidents Cup, but it did not help the world No. 31 with his tee shot Justin Thomas has spilled the beans on a rather colourful and unfiltered chat he had with golf legend Tiger Woods during a tricky moment at the Presidents Cup, which didn’t exactly help him make a decision on the fairway. Despite having a better run in the 2023/24 season, Thomas wasn’t part of this year’s Presidents Cup team, even though he’s currently ranked as the world No. 30. Back in 2019,…

The Presidents Cup has been an incredible spectacle for golf fans these past two days. After the first day’s dominance by Team USA, Friday and Saturday were much more tense and competitive. Team International has jumped into the competition, fully immersing themselves in the exhilarating battle for the highly coveted trophy. However, much might know that the tension of the Presidents Cup is no stranger to Tiger Woods. Recently, the 15-time major champion spoke about how nerve-wracking playing in the team tournament was for him. Recounting to the 2003 Presidents Cup playoff against Ernie Els, he said, “The most nerve-wracking…

Tiger Woods during the Pro-Am prior to the 2024 Genesis Invitational. Tiger Woods may have to change the logo of his apparel company, Sun Day Red, after the Louisiana-based company Tigeraire rejected their trademark filing. Tigeraire started by creating cooler and more comfortable helmets for the LSU Tigers in 2020. The company claims Sun Day Red’s logo resembles theirs, so they submitted this filing on Sept. 25. “The actions of SDR, TaylorMade, and Tiger Woods blatantly ignore Tigeraire’s longstanding protected mark,…

Tiger Woods was left ‘shaking his head all day’ after being beaten by his drunken rival. Tiger Woods was once humiliated by a drunken John Daly over 18 holes (Image: GETTY) Tiger Woods was once humiliated by a hungover John Daly who was still drinking whisky on his way around the course.

The Presidents Cup is rich in history, with thrilling moments almost guaranteed every time. As we gear up for this year’s tournament, at the Royal Montreal Golf Club, anticipation is running high. Yet, despite all the excitement, the 2003 Presidents Cup remains one of the most memorable to date. It happened in 2003 at the Fancourt Hotel and Country Club’s Links course in George, Western Cape, South Africa. Jack Nicklaus captain of Team America and Tiger Woods was the #1 golfer at that time. On the opposite side, it was world No. 2 Vijay Singh and world No. 3 Ernie…

Rory McIlroy’s golfing woes continue as the Northern Irishman’s major drought extends into its 11th year. The former world No. 1 has endured another disappointing season, failing to secure any top titles in 2024 McIlroy’s frustrations were particularly evident at the US Open earlier this year. A final-day collapse at Pinehurst No. 2 saw him squander a promising position, ultimately gifting the title to Bryson DeChambeau.

Ernie Els, a former world…

Tiger Woods dominated the greens during his prime and has 82 PGA Tour and 15 majors to his name. When talking about his son, Charlie Woods it’s only natural for one to think of him as a celebrity child. However, Toby Harbeck, Woods Jr’s high school golf coach doesn’t see him as one but considers him a normal student instead. It happened in March this year when the Benjamin school’s golf head coach Toby Harbeck talked about the State Championship. Tiger Woods attended the tournament as an audience. As it happened, Harbeck said “You know, we don’t call him Tiger.…
