Hello Fevers. News continues to happen in the world of golf and today I bring you a summary of the most important at a local and international level. We start.
Mea culpa with PGA Ocean’s 4
Last week due to an error of omission (fastness costs money), I didn’t report on the status of PGA Ocean’s 4 after Fiona. Its director Carlos De Linares informs me that, although there were tree losses and high salinity in the greens of the coast, the course is capable and without major damage. Good news.
DR Open
Great excitement with this event going on next week in Casa de Campo. My friends from Argentina and from various countries who are already preparing suitcases and bags for the great competitive meeting organized by Rafael Canario together with FEDOGOLF. We will be there.
Presidents Cup
Finally, what had to happen happened, and the United States team took the cup 17.5 to 12.5 points. The next international team commitment will be the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome.
Greg Norman negotiating in Washington
The Shark was in the US capital in meetings with congressmen and politicians explaining what the LIV Golf Series consists of in order to get the PGA Tour to “lower two” the attack on the LIV, and also to note that the Tour is practically a monopoly.
By the way, Norman does not go to the QBE
The organizers of the QBE Shootout (an event he founded and has been a guest of since 1989), have asked him not to show up for the December event at the Gold Course at Tiburón Golf Club in Naples, Florida. Norman was apologetic, although he does not understand the decision. Remember that this tournament is co-organized by the PGA Tour, so I think that’s where it comes from.
BM Cargo Tournament
The new date is November 17, 18 and 19 and a unique enthusiasm reigns. Ramses Atallah told me that he “appreciated the support received in the face of the difficult decision to postpone such a large and complex event, and that the tournament comes” on steroids “. Mambo!
The Swedish golf federation expelled Henrik Stenson
According to them, his relationship with the LIV Golf Series motivated his “outing”, although Stenson said that this was not going to stop his support and support for youth golf in his homeland. Good for him.
New LPGA event
From June 29 to June 4, 2023 Michelle Wie-West will be the guest of the Mizuho Americas Open to be played at the Liberty National Golf Club, NJ, and in which, apart from the PROS, there will also be a simultaneous competition between 24 juniors amateurs.
Augusta National with renewals towards the 2023 Masters
They added 40 yards to the 13th hole with the construction of a new tee box, which will substantially change the way that hole has traditionally been played. Looking for fewer eagles and fewer birdies on that par 5?
