Tour news

The heat is on

With the clock ticking down to the start of the Ryder Cup, all eyes are on the players who could make the difference at Le Golf National in Paris. The BMW Championship certainly gave us an insight into who’s shaping up nicely, with Keegan Bradley - who didn't make the USA Team - pipping Europe's Justin Rose to the title on the first play-off hole after both players finished on -20. It wasn't all bad news for Rose though, as finishing 2nd meant he became the world's number one golfer for the first time in his career.

The conclusion of the BMW Championship also saw Jim Furyk make his final Captain's Pick for Team USA, opting for big-hitter Tony Finau - despite Xander Schauffele's fine finish at the BMW. Finau might not win many tournaments, but he is remarkably consistent and a huge hitter, with 11 top-10 finishes in 2018. Schauffele will feel hard done by, but is certainly one to look out for next season.

Meanwhile, Europe Team Captain Thomas Bjorn may be ruing a missed opportunity to choose Matt Fitzpatrick as one of his wildcard picks, after the Englishman beat Denmark’s Lucas Bjerregaard in a play-off to win the Omega European Masters title in Switzerland. Fitzpatrick won the same tournament last year, and becomes the first golfer since the great Seve Ballesteros to defend the trophy – so he’s certainly following the right footsteps!

Titleist Speed Project arriving soon

As the name suggests, Titleist's new metalwoods are all about speed and distance.

Well, we're delighted to announce they'll be landing in-store this month so that you can add some distance to your game. If you want to be one of the first to try them, get in touch via the button below.

In your sight

Sightlines on putters might seem like a nice design, but they are there for a reason as they help you aim your putts more accurately, and help you centre the ball on your putter. But with so many different styles, it can be hard to know which one will aid you the most.

It’s up to you
If you’re a fan of the classic blade putters, why not try Cleveland’s Huntington Beach 1 model?

Striking the centre of the ball is made simple with a single sightline on the blade’s cavity. You’ll also have a more consistent roll with your putts, thanks to the precision milled face that is a key feature on Cleveland's putters.

Something different
Alternatively, if you prefer a more modern look, try out Cleveland’s TFI 2135 Satin Rho putter.

The raised sightline on this range of putters helps you to align the putter more easily, regardless of where your eyes are over the ball. Another great feature is the contrasting white sightline on a black backdrop, resulting in improved focus every time.

Having a ball

When you’re watching the pros you’ll often see them hitting shots with amazing distance off the tee, along with plenty of spin from around the green. The way they strike the ball helps achieve this, but the ball itself is a crucial component of their game.

Mizuno MP-S ball

Here are two great options worth trying for a round or two. The MP-S from Mizuno is their softest, most responsive ball to date, yet still offers impressive long game distance for mid to high swing speed golfers.

Mizuno JPX ball

The JPX ball is Mizuno's softest two-piece golf ball, keeping it nimble around the greens whilst being quick off the clubface. You should also notice longer and more stable tee shots in the wind thanks to its micro-dimple cover.
