R&A Chief Executive Martin Slumbers has said Donald Trump owned Turnberry will not stage any tournaments in the foreseeable future, good.

2020 PGA looks like it'll be moved as well

I think that getting kicked off Twitter and shunned by organised Golf will hit Trump harder than the threat of impeachment.

Tiger Woods has put his season on hold after having back surgery for the 5th time in his career. He is expected to be fit in time for the Masters in April.

Great start to the season for Tyrrell Hatton winning The Abu Dhabi Championship by 4 shots, his 6th European Tour victory.

Patrick Reed in being a cheating bastard shocker once more!

Tried to claim his ball had embedded and no one had seen it bounce. Now whilst keeping in mind that Reed decided to move his ball before the rules official had seen it, and claiming that amongst his fellow players a volunteer had told him he hadn't seen it bounce, despite the video footage showing no one within about 100 yards of where it bounced, this is such fucking bullshit.

There is zero chance his ball was embedded. He just had an awful lie in the rough. How does a ball embed on a soft 2nd bounce in thick lush grass?

[Villa Lew]

Agree 100% about Reed how he got away with that I'll never know, he's managed to make himself even more unpopular now, which is pretty hard to do.

On a brighter note, good win for Paul Casey at the Dubai Classic winning by 4 strokes. Wonder if he can at last win a major this year, came very close last year at the PGA.

World no 1 Justin Johnson wins The Saudi International by 2 shots, good effort from Justin Rose joint 2nd.

Brooks Koepka wins the Phoenix Open with a closing round of 65, it's his first PGA tour title since been out injured for sometime, during which he had major surgery on his knee. Good tournament for Jordan Spieth finishing joint 4th, which included a 3rd round of 61, maybe he might be making a long awaited comeback.

I see the great Annika Sorenstam, winner of 10 majors, is making a return, aged 50 and after 13 years since she retired from the game. She will be playing in the next LPGA event at Florida in a couple of weeks.

Daniel Berger won the Pebble Beach Pro-Am by 2 shots, Jordan Spieth had another good tournament being in contention for the 2nd week running finishing joint 3rd, which is good having been nowhere near a leaderboard for a few years. Paul Casey finished the top Brit in joint fifth, he's having a good season with one win already.

Max Homa won his 2nd PGA title beating Tony Finau in a play off at the Genesis Invitational a tournament hosted by Tiger. Matt Fitzpatrick was in a good position going into the final round, but never made a challenge finishing 5 shots off the winner. The TV broadcaster asked Woods if he would be playing in the Masters, which starts 6 weeks Thursday, his reply was he hoped to, all depends on the condition of his back, after yet another operation on it.

Just seen that Tiger Woods has been in a car crash, looks like he may have a bad injury.

Collin Morikawa wins the WGC Workday Championship in Florida by 3 shots with a very impressive finishing total of 18 under. Only 24 the PGA Champion looks to have a great future ahead of him. After missing the cut last week, much better from Rory finishing joint 6th.

[Villa Lew]

Great effort from Lee Westwood in finishing 2nd 1 behind Bryson DeChambeau in the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Florida. Another good tournament from Jordan Spieth joint 4th, not so good for Rory, after leading in the 1st round, ended up joint 10th.
