Kenny Perry will not let people forget him. The hard-working professional, a cut above journeyman, was the best player in the world aged over 40 last year.
After his loss to Angel Cabrera in the US Masters final, the Kentucky man returned to our collective conscious. And he refuses to go away, at 48 years old.

Golf is a naturally green-friendly sport. After all, practically half of all strokes are played on a surface called “the green”.
In some places around the world, the building of golf courses has been hailed as a boon to the environment. More than a decade ago, South African legend Gary Player said the island-course he designed [...]
The US Open delivered so many great and poignant stories that, for not more than a moment, one may forget the best one of all – Lucas Glover’s emergence as a golf major winner.
There was Tiger Woods – always a story no matter what, Phil Mickelson’s brave performance in the face of adversity and the [...]
The golf industry’s financial situation is similar to the one Tiger Woods finds himself at just past the half-way stage of the US Open – both need a major comeback.
He is the man who can save both himself at Bethpage Black, and the industry. At least this is the opinion of Pete Bevacqua, the United [...]
It has been 39 years since an Englishman last won the US Open. Paul Casey is aiming to break that long, barren spell.
Tony Jacklin was the last English winner of the US Open, at Hazeltine in 1970. Not since Nick Faldo’s heyday has there been a golfer from Blighty who has stirred talk of [...]
Brian Gay made sure that his name would be added to the pre-US Open chatter. The American knew he needed something special at the St Jude Classic to book a place at the Bethpage Black tournament this week.
And he delivered in record-breaking style, winning his second PGA Tour title of the season and third of [...]
An emotional Phil Mickelson is making his comeback to the US PGA Tour after a brief time away to be with his wife, Amy, who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Three weeks ago, Mickelson said he was taking time off the tour to be at his wife’s side. However, with some encouraging signs on her [...]
It was the answer everyone, including his critics, were waiting for. Tiger Woods, the so-called has-been, returned to that familiar winning enclosure with victory at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio.
Having already won the Arnold Palmer Invitational this year following his comeback from knee surgery, Woods captured the event hosted by another great from the [...]
Six months after being suspended by the US PGA Tour, the people’s favourite John Daly is set to return to the circuit that made him a global star.
Daly, who has won two major titles but more recently has been making headlines off the golf course, is to play in the US Open qualifiers in Memphis [...]
Last year, Tiger Woods was reduced to watching the Memorial Tournament on television after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his knee.
The three-time Memorial champion had gone under the knife soon after the Masters and, without any real tune-ups, went on to win the US Open last year.
That victory at Torrey Pines was costly, though, with Woods [...]
After four days of attrition and 45 changes of the lead, it was not one of the hardened stars who came out on top but a journeyman hero ranked 449th in the world and without a top 30 finish in 15 tournaments.
Frenchman Christian Cevaer fired a two-over-par 74 in the final round for a total [...]
Two golfers who have the potential to make it big will shed their amateur status this week when they take part in the European Open at the London Club in Kent, England.
Shane Lowry, the amateur winner of the recent Irish Open, and Scott Arnold, the top-ranked amateur in the world, have both entered the European [...]
The return of Tiger Woods, Angel Cabrera’s Masters win and the rise of Rory McIlroy as the future global are among the top stories so far this year.
All this while, England’s Paul Casey has been quietly, efficiently and stealthily slipping under the radar. But after his victory at the BMW PGA Championship, it will be [...]
Most things in life are relative, even Tiger Woods. Take, for example, the voices of some sections of the golf gallery who believe Woods’ best days are behind him given his knee surgery last year and the fact that he has gone three tournaments on the US PGA Tour without victory, including the US Masters.
Since [...]
Irishman Shane Lowry may have missed a four-foot putt in typical amateur fashion – after all, he is an amateur. But that did not stop him from getting the better of the pros in the Irish Open.
The 22-year-old Lowry became only the third amateur to win a title on the European Tour when he beat [...]
