SEOUL — Despite tricky conditions, Manon De Roey carded a ‘Steady Eddy’ one over to head into the final round of the Aramco Team Series at level par. The Belgian was disappointed with the lack of birdies, but consistency in these conditions proved a valuable asset. “Yeah, I mean, today was a pretty boring round, actually. One bogey, no birdies, pretty pretty sad. But, I’m still happy with level par for the tournament. I’ll try to make some birdies tomorrow and move up in the leaderboard.” Manon De Roey teeing off the 17th The wind picked up steadily throughout the…
Nelly Korda has made a solid start in her bid for a record sixth-straight LPGA Tour victory, while a host of Australians are in the mix to scupper the American’s crack at golfing history.

Grace Kim is tied for eighth following a four-under 68, one stroke ahead of Gabriela Ruffels, Hannah Green and Sarah…
Rory McIlroy said he has been “some way” involved with discussions with Saudi backers of LIV Golf. McIlroy has long been one of the most vocal critics of LIV Golf, insisting in July last year that he would rather retire than play on the Saudi Arabian breakaway, but has softened his stance on the influx of money from the sovereign state’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), which bankrolls the LIV Golf League. After finishing the first round at Wells Fargo three shots off the pace, tied in second place, McIlroy told reporters he has had conversations with the newly set up…

LIV Golf has reached the midway point of its 2024 season and the Saudi-backed league continues to show no signs of slowing, As talks between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which finances LIV, continue to drag on, LIV continues to grow, adding players, as it did last offseason with Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton and Adrian Meronk, and growing its business side, as it has this year by adding a chief financial officer and chief marketing officer, among others. And LIV’s chief pot stirrer, at least among the players, Phil Mickelson, continues to drop hints about more…
