Such an amazing story in AsianDevelopmentTour during their two-week schedule in Morocco! Cousins Aidric Chan and Carl Jano Corpus of the Philippines won the first and second event respectively to seal their places in International Series Morocco this week. The cousins live in the same compound

Three Indians - Anirban Lahiri, Shubhankar Sharma and Angad Cheema - set to battle it out to qualify for The Open Championship. The Final Qualifying events are being played at Burnham & Berrow, Dundonald Links, Royal Cinque Ports and West Lancashire. 5 places up for grabs at each

Absolutely heartbroken for Anirban Lahiri as he misses qualifying for The Open by the narrowest of margins possible for the second straight year from Burnham & Berrow.

A PGA Tour-LIV Golf-like feud is brewing in Indian professional golf. A new organisation, the Bharat Golf Premier League, is planning to start its own Tour, and the PGTI is warning its members not to join the Indian Golf Premier League. IGPL is yet to reveal all its plan, but I wonder

The joy of helping newsletters come to life is experimenting with our writing. This week, Joy turns Fairways and Greens into a travelogue and a mini photo album. Do read, although you might get jealous at the pictures from the course!

They have managed to delete 100 years of The Open history, but this just shows the involvement of Portrush - the town is all golf this week.

Quite rightly, The R&A has announced that the prize fund for the 153rd The Open will remain the same as it was in 2024 - a purse of $17 million with the winner taking home $3.1 million + the priceless Claret Jug. Tournaments have been putting undue pressure on themselves
