Stunning win over American Tommy Paul sets up Italian Open title clash against against Alexander Zverev
sports2 days ago
This week’s golf comes around very fast with LIV Golf starting on Thursday with LIV Golf - Las Vegas. Dubai-based players Anirban Lahiri (Crushers GC) and Adrian Meronk (Cleeks GC) are both in their respective teams. Let’s all hope Adrian is fit and recovered from his recent illness following his transition to LIV Golf.
The DP World Tour remains in this Middle East region with the $2.5 million Commercial Bank Qatar Masters taking place at Doha Golf Club, Qatar. It is the tenth event of the season and the fifth of the eight events on the International Swing.
The Ladies European Tour (LET) has its season opener in Kenya before they return to the Middle East region for next week’s $5 million ARAMCO Saudi Ladies International Presented by PIF at Riyadh Golf Club.
The PGA Tour has the WM Phoenix Open with an $8.8 million purse.
Not playing this week is Ludvig Aberg who finished second at last week’s weather-shortened AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The Swede has moved remarkably to number 11 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR).
