Bolt is confident that the Caribbeans will become the first team to win a hat trick of T20 World Cup titles

LIV Golf – Hong Kong takes place this week after Joaquin Niemann’s impressive individual win and the Crushers GC Team final day charge win in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Adrian Meronk and Anirban Lahiri will both play in the event that has $20 million for the Individual Event and $5 million allocated to the Team Event.
Meronk can consider himself unlucky to have a one stroke Slow Play penalty added to his score for bad times. Slow play penalties have always been used sparingly in professional golf – LIV’s other Slow Play penalty was on Meronk’s Cleeks GC fellow team member Richard Bland.
Different Tours around the world penalize in different ways – but a penalty shot at the top of the LIV Golf leaderboard was certainly expensive for Meronk.
Do we expect LIV Golf to be the trend setters to beat the ‘Slow Play’ dilemma in professional golf?
Only time will tell. Perhaps more officials are required on the course to properly police such incidents – throughout the full field.
The DP World Tour hosts its final event on their International Swing with the Jonsson Workwear Open in South Africa.
The PGA Tour has a double header with the double header Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Puerto Rico Open. The API is a Signature Event boating a $20 million purse and has attracted a typically strong field.
The Asian Tour takes a break this week before returning to the calendar in Macau next week.
The Ladies European Tour sees its ARAMCO Team Series Presented by PIF – Tampa with Chiara Noja looking to kick start her 2024 season.
