Tour news

Out of the fire and into the Pan...

C.T Pan secured a popular victory at the RBC Heritage over the weekend, propelling himself from outside the world’s top 100 into the top 55 in a matter of four days.

It was only last week that Pan was watching Tiger Woods sweep to victory at The Masters on TV whilst dreaming of competing himself, and now that dream is a reality after a tense one-shot victory at the stunning Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina.

Some of that tension was released thanks to a Sunday back-nine blow-up from Masters runner-up and overnight leader Dustin Johnson. The American played holes 11 to 15 in seven-over-par, ending any chance of victory and further cementing himself as the world number one.

Pan sank a nine-foot birdie on the 16th to take the outright lead and held his nerve to claim his maiden PGA Tour title by one shot from Matt Kuchar.

See you at The Masters, Pan!

Keep a watch on your game

Technology: it’s a word that scares some of us whilst excites others. When it comes to technology in golf, there’s no question that it has helped evolve the way we play the game for the better. For example, GPS golf watches really do make knowing how far you have left to the green or hazards as simple as quick glance at your wrist.

Introducing Garmin's Approach S40 watch

First of all, this GPS watch is multi-functional and super stylish making it the ideal companion as your everyday smartwatch and game-changing piece of tech out on the course.

Over 41,000 pre-loaded worldwide courses feature with precise distances to greens, hazards and doglegs displayed on its colour touchscreen.

The S40 really is a stunning watch and unbelievably practical. Find out more by clicking on the link below.

Another way to gain distance

On the face of it, the mechanics of golf are really quite simple: the further you hit the ball, the easier it will be to get the white thing into the hole in the fewest shots. Club technology, swing changes and even work down the gym help us achieve our target of more distance, but maybe there's another way...

Could changing your ball increase your distance?

Yes, it could, and TaylorMade has been working hard to come up with a ball to help you achieve exactly this: introducing Project (s).

Without getting too technical, its multi-layer design involves a softer core and cover that really maximises distance whilst providing soft feel and great control around the greens - what a combination! What's more, you can also get the ball in a few different colour options so you really stand out on the course.

So, why not come and try TaylorMade’s Project (s) ball as it may just be the answer to your distance prayers?
