The last event of the year is a low-key affair at the La Reserve Golf Links at the Heritage Golf Club in Mauritius. This is the second time La Reserve has hosted, after co-course designer Louis Oosthuizen won at his own course at the end of 2023. The course is a 7,357 yard par 72, with five par threes and five par fives, and we have Paspalum on all the playing surfaces. There are expected to be showers throughout the week, so the course will likely be softer and slower than i

The Alfred Dunhill Championship is taking a one year hiatus from its regular home of Leopard Creek and is instead at Royal Johannesburg this year. Royal Johannesburg is a 36-hole facility and last appeared on the DPWT as host of the Joberg Open from 2007 to 2017. But while that tournament used both courses with one round played on the shorter West course, this year’s event will only be played on the longer championship East course. The East course is a par 72 that measures 7,

The ‘other’ event this week, the Nedbank is still a great tournament in its own right and is colloquially known as ‘Africa’s major.’ Starting out as an extremely small field invitational, the Nedbank joined the DPWT in 2013 and increased in size to a 30 man field, and then again to the current field size of around 66 in 2016. It has at times been a part of the DPWT finals series and elevated Rolex series but has only been a regular DPWT event since last year, albeit still wit

BOOOOOTS. It’s Australian Open week at Royal Melbourne and that means there will be boots on the ground as I plan to attend on what is a sold out Sunday to see star attraction Rory McIlroy. But the other star attraction is the golf course itself. Royal Melbourne is a 36-hole facility, with the West course ranking up at number 7 in the latest Golf.com rankings, and the East course at 82. These courses span across four parcels of land, but the Australian Open will be played on

For the final full field event of the Fall swing, the PGA Tour heads to Sea Island for the RSM Classic in St. Simons Island, Georgia. The event debuted in October of 2010, and since 2015, it has been played at both the Seaside and Plantation courses, featuring a full field. The RSM Classic generally attracts a solid field (relatively speaking), and this event will surely put together the most talented group of players we have seen this Fall swing. Much of the reason for this

The DP World Tour concludes their season this week with the Tour Championship held at long-time host, The Earth Course at Jumeirah Estates. The top 50 in the race to Dubai have qualified, but unlike the FedEx Cup there are no end of season gimmicks such as a points reset or starting strokes. This means that with a lead of 767 points, Rory McIlroy will most likely be the DPWT winner for the fourth time in a row. Marco Penge is the main threat and could cap a brilliant breakthr

The Butterfield Bermuda Championship is a relatively new addition to the Fall swing, debuting in October 2019 and held at Port Royal Golf Course for the past six years. Originally constructed to be an alternate event opposite the WGC – HSBC Championship, the tournament was elevated in 2021 to a standalone event as the result of successive cancellations of the WGC due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In my opinion, it holds a strong case as the overall weakest tournament on the entir

The PGA Tour may be the preeminent golf tour, but the DPWT has always had a certain charm to me. Being more worldwide, it has had a wider variety of both courses and players. And now in its role as a proxy feeder tour, it’s where a lot of promising younger players are trying to make that next jump. With ISN being a predominantly American focused company, I thought it would be good to have at least some focus on the wider golf world, both to spotlight these future PGA tour pla

The PGA Tour heads to Cabo this week for a resort-style contest at El Cardonal at Diamonte Dunes. While this event has previously been hosted at the Mayakoba resort, I would not really spend any time looking at prior course history there, as El Cardonal plays in stark architectural contrast to the Greg Norman design. Mayakoba was one of the tightest, most accuracy-over-distance-biased golf courses on the PGA Tour, while El Cardonal is the complete opposite, featuring some of

The Bank of Utah Championship (known last year as the Black Desert Championship) is only in its second renewal, and I must say that it has been a welcome addition to the Fall swing. Despite the new sponsor and name change, the event will return to the Black Desert Resort, designed by Tom Weiskopf and Phil Smith in 2022-2023. This was Weiskopf’s final design before he passed away, and the track sits among one of the most unique settings for professional golf. We can nitpick th
