We wish Natalii Gupta (Ind), representing the UAE all the best as she plays in the LET Access event in Sweden as an invite.

The PGA Tour hosts the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Michigan with leading players in the field including Robert MacIntyre (Scot), Tom Kim (Korea) and Stephan Jaeger (Ger).

Another Major takes place in senior golf with the US Senior Open at Newport Rhode Island.

Congratulations to Padraig Harrington (Ire) for winning the Dick’s Open for the third consecutive year on the Champions Tour. He is in the field alongside so many legends of the game – including the top-10 in the 2023 Legends Tour Order of Merit and Lee Westwood (Eng) as a member of a recent Ryder Cup team.
