Florida, US, June 27 (Ians) The PGA Tour and the Presidents Cup on Tuesday announced that the 2028 Presidents Cup will be contested at Kingston Heath Golf Club, one of the most iconic venues on the famed Melbourne Sandbelt.

The 2028 Presidents Cup will mark the event’s fourth visit to Melbourne, with the Tour having previously announced a long-term commitment with Visit Victoria to staging the Presidents Cup in Melbourne in 2028 and 2040.

Consistently ranked as one of the top courses in Australia and around the world, Kingston Heath was designed by Australia’s Dan Soutar and features a natural bunkering layout spearheaded by legendary architect Alister Mackenzie in 1926. Among the noteworthy championships held at Kingston Heath include the Australian Open, which has been hosted seven times and most recently in 2022 when it shared duties with Victoria Golf Club. It has also hosted the 2009 and 2012 Australian Masters, the 2008 Women’s Australian Open, and the 2016 World Cup of Golf.

Dubai, Jan 25 (Ians) Shubhankar Sharma will be the lone Indian in the star-studded field as he gets ready to build on the fine start to his year.

Sharma, 29th in the Dp World Tour rankings in 2022, was tied seventh last week in Abu Dhabi Hsbc Championship, and is now hoping to get a good result in Dubai, where he has never finished in Top-10 in five previous starts.

“I need to set the record right,” said Sharma. “I am feeling comfortable. I was here in Dubai before coming to Abu Dhabi and practiced here. This is a great place and I have a lot of Indian supporters.”

Sharma has also sponsored a bunch of Indian youngsters to come and watch this event as part of his ‘giving back to the game’. “I want them to come and see world class golfers and World No. 1 Rory McIlroy and start dreaming. That...

Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida), Dec 1 (Ians) Presidents Cup and PGA Tour officials announced on Thursday that Canadian and Masters champion Mike Weir has been named captain of the International Team for the 2024 Presidents Cup, which will return to Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Quebec (Canada) for the first time since 2007.

Primed for his maiden captaincy, Weir has served as captain’s assistant in three consecutive ‘playings’, most recently under the leadership of Trevor Immelman at the 2022 Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow Club. He was an assistant for Ernie Els in 2019, which saw the International Team build its biggest lead in Presidents Cup history before falling to a Tiger Woods-led US Team, 16-14, at The Royal Melbourne Golf Club, in Melbourne, Australia. His first appearance dates back to 2017, serving for Nick Price at Liberty National Golf Club.

“Presidents Cup has become such a big part of my career, so to...

The Albany (Bahamas), Nov 28 (Ians) Tiger Woods makes his long-awaited return to action this week as the 15-time Major winner competes for the first time since July at the Hero World Challenge.

Before that the only events he turned up for were the Masters and the PGA Championship. Yet, between now and the end of 2022, Woods will be seen in action at the Hero World Challenge, a high-profile event that has just 20 players, all of them barring three are inside Top-23 of the world.

Two of the other three, Kevin Kisner (31) and Corey Conners, a late replacement for the injured Hideki Matsuyama (19) add to the field. Only Woods, the host is specially ‘exempt’ at 1277, not having played since the Open and only three events for a total of nine rounds – four at the Masters, three at PGA before withdrawing and two at the Open before missing the cut at St Andrews.

Golf journalist Tim Rosaforte got the type of tribute today from Jack Nicklaus that journalists usually heap on legends like Jack Nicklaus. Rosaforte, who was one of the top golf journalists in the world and one of the most popular announcers on Golf Channel and NBC Sports, died Tuesday of Alzheimer’s disease. He was 66.

Nicklaus began a three-tweet tribute to Rosaforte with the following: “Many hearts, including Barbara’s & mine, hurt today after the passing of our friend Tim Rosaforte. Tim had a wonderful ability to develop trust from so many, and because of that—plus his work ethic—if there was an important story to be told in golf, Tim usually reported it first.”

The idea of trust comes up repeatedly in a video the golf great posted of his final visit with Roasforte last year, in which they speak about their bond, respect and, as Rosaforte puts it,...

Leading Spanish indie sales outfit Filmax has scooped the international rights to “Seve: One Man Army,” a new feature-length documentary about legendary Spanish golfer Severiano Ballesteros, arguably the top golfer of his era and a Spanish icon on and off the course.

Currently available on Amazon Prime Video in Spain, the documentary is directed by Hugo Stuven (“Solo”) and produced by Luis Velo and Guillermo Gomez, co-producers on the Amazon Original documentary series “The Challenge: Eta,” Netflix’s docu-series “La Linea: Shadow of the Narco,” in addition to another sports-themed documentary in “Huesca, más allá de un sueño.”

“Seve” mixes archival footage with interviews and anecdotes from other world class golfers, referees, journalists and several others close to him during his lifetime. Big names appearing in the film include Gary Player, Greg Norman, Jack Nicklaus, Jose Maria Olazabal,...

When it comes to covering President Trump‘s excursions to his self-nicknamed “summer and winter White Houses” in Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster, New Jersey, the White House Press corps has had to get creative.

Because Trump’s activities at his golf clubs are often hidden from the press, reporters have resorted to scouring Instagram for clues about how the president spends his weekends away from Washington — and how many rounds of golf those weekends include.

This weekend, for example — the eighth weekend that Trump has spent away from the White House, and the 14th consecutive weekend that he has visited a...
