Expect drama this week at the 18th hole in Ras Al Khaimah.It has the potential to change the course of a tournament. Just think back to last year's <a href="https://www.europeantour.com/dpworld-tour/ras-al-khaimah-championship-2024/" rel="noreferrer" class="editor-link editor-link">Ras Al Khaimah Championship</a> when <a href="https://www.europeantour.com/dpworld-tour/news/video/how-daniel-gavins-survived-final-hole-drama-to-win-2023-ras-al-khaimah-champions/" rel="noreferrer" class="editor-link editor-link">Daniel Gavins held on to claim victory</a> despite finding the water twice.With a tournament on the line, the sight from the tee box at the closing hole - a par five measuring 576 yards - is sure to test the mettle of the very best, with water running the entire length of the right hand side. <div class="brightcove-embed descAsset" data-brightcove-id="6345478099112" data-poster="https://cf-images.eu-west-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/5136026580001/7b32ccf6-691e-4493-8e1d-810c0cdce47c/8503284e-8fa1-45c5-b76f-3d49f19eba77/1280x720/match/image.jpg" data-src="/d8fb7f4d-23da-41f3-9091-48de3f1ce4b0/content"></div> Last year, the hole averaged a score of 4.57 across the four rounds of competition play, making it the fourth easiest hole on the course as it yielded nine eagles and 147 birdies.But, with five double bogeys or worse across the week almost 12 months ago, danger certainly lurks especially with out of bounds to left also to contend with.Two-time DP World Tour winner Anthony Wall, now a regular member of the World Feed commentary team, gave us his insights to the finishing hole at the third consecutive event in the United Arab Emirates as part of the International Swing on the 2024 Race to Dubai. "This hole has changed, it has become a tricky tee shot now," he said. "There used to be rough all the way along \[the right side\]. Not anymore."Padraig Harrington has changed a few little things. The ball will definitely run into the penalty area. Come Sunday, someone will definitely win but I guarantee you someone will find the water."But for those who do avoid trouble off the tee, the narrow undulating green is a challenge in itself."If you've managed to find the fairway... you still have the penalty area down the right so don't me wrong this is no gimme. But if you do find the putting surface, pure gold.

Bapco Energies is pioneering environmental initiatives, including powering hospitality units and structures with solar energy and batteries.

Bahrain Championship 2025

Bapco Energies named Title Partner of the 2025 Bahrain Championship

Casey Jarvis became the latest HotelPlanner Tour graduate to win on the DP World Tour by producing a stunning birdie-eagle finish on Sunday to triumph in the Magical Kenya Open presented by absa.The South African made sure of a wire-to-wire win at Karen Country Club with a closing eight under par round of 62, and with it adds his name to a growing list of graduates to win on Golf’s Global Tour.The 22-year-old does so just over two years after gaining promotion following a stellar debut season on the HotelPlanner Tour.<blockquote class="editor-quote editor-quote">Jarvis would all-but guarantee his promotion to the DP World Tour in Austria in July, </blockquote>Promotion campaignJarvis teed it up in the 2023 season as a 19-year-old and kickstarted his promotion campaign by impressing across the opening four weeks of the year in his native South Africa. On home soil, he recorded finishes of tied 23rd, tied 20th, tied ninth and a solo second, results that saw him earn additional playing opportunities when the season reached Europe. A couple of months later, Jarvis moved firmly into promotion contention, recording back-to-back second-place finishes in the Copenhagen Challenge presented by Ejner Hessel and the D+D Real Czech Challenge, as he catapulted himself into second place on the Road to Mallorca Rankings.Jarvis would all-but guarantee his promotion to the DP World Tour in Austria in July, where he held his nerve on a tense final day to earn a maiden title in the Euram Bank Open ( Rolex Series ).Jarvis would drop no lower than fifth on the Road to Mallorca Rankings throughout the remainder of the season, eventually ending the year as the Number Two, eight points off top spot, and with a life-changing DP World Tour card.

Jarvis retained his DP World Tour card in 2025 too, finishing 96th on the Race to Dubai, before finding form at the beginning of the 2026 campaign. <div class="brightcove-embed descAsset"

Casey Jarvis wins Magical Kenya Open for maiden ti

Forrest defendsGrant Forrest won his second DP World Tour title - and second on home soil - with a four-stroke victory 12 months ago. Almost exactly four years on from his triumph at the 2021 Hero Open at Fairmont St Andrews, the Scot hit the front with a course record six-under-par 66 at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire. By the close of play in the third round he led by three, although that was trimmed to two after Todd Clements' birdie on the opening hole of the final round. However, when Forrest birdied the fourth and Clements carded a triple-bogey eight at the same hole, he led by five and never looked back. “It’s always an honour to play in Scotland, and I look forward to what I’m sure will be another great week," said 33-year-old Forrest ahead of his title defence. The swing finaleAfter four events across as many countries, the Closing Swing returns to where it all started - Scotland. South Korea's Tom Kim claimed Rolex Series glory at the Genesis Scottish Open in the same week as American Steven Fisk won the ISCO Championship. A week later, while The Open - which like other Major Championships does not count towards the Swing Rankings - was being won by Ryan Fox, Italy's Stefano Mazzoli became both a DP World Tour and PGA TOUR winner at the Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic. After a three-week, the Swing resumed with the Danish Golf Championship which was won by Jeff Winther on home soil. The winner of the Closing Swing Rankings will earn a spot in all Back 9 tournaments and receive a US$200,000 bonus. But with both Mazzoli and Winther opting not to tee it up this week, the most immediate contenders are Todd Clements of England followed by Italy's Filippo Celli. The leading available member from the Closing Swing Rankings, not otherwise exempt, will earn a spot in the BMW PGA Championship, the third Rolex Series event of the season. As of today, the spot would go to last season's HotelPlanner Tour graduate Celli. <blockquote class="editor-quote editor-quote">🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Nexo Championship 📍 Trump International Golf Links 💰 $3m prize fund 🌍 Closing Swing 📊 Event 31/42 The Tour returns to Scotland for the second time this season.&nbsp;#NexoChampionship&nbsp;pic.twitter.com/ALL4ZGfF15— DP World Tour (@DPWorldTour)&nbsp;August 18, 2026</blockquote> Race to Dubai leader Reed headlines fieldAfter this week, there are just 11 events scheduled to take place before the Race to Dubai champion is crowned. Patrick Reed is currently in line to take that crown for the first time and the American will hope to strengthen his position as he returns to action for what is the first of a big run of events that will also see him line up in England, Switzerland and Ireland over the coming weeks. Eugenio Chacarra and Casey Jarvis are both also multiple winners this season and they will hope to bridge the gap on the season-long rankings. There are six winners on the 2026 Race to Dubai teeing it up, including 39-year-old first-time winner Michael Hollick of South Africa. Joining Forrest are a host of fellow hopes - 15 in total - including Ewen Ferguson, Connor Syme and Aberdeen local David Law. Simon Zach is among the tournament invitations after winning the Trackman-powered Next Golf Tour earlier this year, along with John Daly II, son of two-time major champion John Daly, for what is his professional debut on the DP World Tour.

Quartet gearing up for Ras Al Khaimah Championship

K.J. Choi became the first South Korean to win a Senior Major Championship as he claimed a two-stroke victory in The Senior Open Presented by Rolex at Carnoustie Golf Links. <img src="https://d2i96gnbj9z6mt.cloudfront.net/1784164733749/public/jpeg/1722190575.jpg" alt="GettyImages-2163551137" width="inherit" class="descAsset"> The 54-year-old started slowly but ignited around the turn to put daylight between himself and the chasing pack as he signed for a closing two under round of 70 and a winning total of ten under par, two clear of Australia’s Richard Green.The eight-time PGA TOUR winner opened with a bogey and dropped further shots at the fifth and sixth as the leaderboard became bunched, with a number of players in contention.Playing partner Green and fellow chasers Paul Broadhurst and Stephen Ames were all going along steadily but Choi, not for the first time this week, began a hot run and picked up a shot either side of the turn to get back to one over for the day.He parred the 11th and then entered a three-hole stretch which determined the outcome of the 2024 Senior Open.The former World Number Five recorded back-to-back birdies at the 12th and 13th before then holing a 30-footer for eagle at the 14th to open a four-shot lead with only four to play.Choi used his knowhow which earned him a share of eighth in The Open at Carnoustie in 2007 to safely navigate the next three, before closing with a bogey to secure his maiden Major title.“It's unbelievable, today's game,” he said. “I prayed all week. Either way I started very nervous and some speed was off, which was the difference, and I made three bogeys after six. I kept my attention and prayed. I felt more comfortable in the swing.“I made a bad start but then seven and eight was better and then made birdie on nine, which made me feel better.“The back-to-back birdies on nine and ten gave me real momentum today.“This event is historical in Korea, first-time champion at The Senior Open. Very proud this week.”Australian Green extended his excellent run of form in the Senior Majors by securing his third top three finish of the season, while England’s Broadhurst finished two shots further back in third on six under.Canadian Ames finished fourth on three under par, while no fewer than seven players finished in a tie for fifth on two under, including former Ryder Cup Captains Thomas Bjørn, Pádraig Harrington and Bernhard Langer.

Choi makes history with Senior Open victory

Thomas Bjørn, Paul McGinley, Tom Lehman and Ian Woosnam will bring Ryder Cup experience to The Senior Open Presented by Rolex when they tee it up at Carnoustie Golf Links from July 25-28, 2024. <img src="https://d2i96gnbj9z6mt.cloudfront.net/1784159854400/public/jpeg/1720007138.jpg" alt="Announcement Graphics_Bjorn_Woosnam_Lehman_McGinley_16x9" width="inherit" class="descAsset"> The former Ryder Cup Captains will join a field which is already brimming with Major Champions, Ryder Cup players and proven worldwide winners when Europe’s Senior Major Championship returns to Scotland, the Home of Golf. Tickets to attend The Senior Open are on sale now and can be purchased by clicking here.The quartet have all led their respective Europe and United States teams following impressive playing careers in the biennial showpiece and they will join already announced former captains Darren Clarke and Pádraig Harrington at Carnoustie later this month.Bjørn, Denmark’s most successful golfer of all-time with 15 DP World Tour wins and two Legends Tour victories, will tee it up in the Senior Open for the third time and is excited by the challenge of adding a third professional victory in Scotland to his impressive resumé.“I love playing golf in Scotland and I can’t wait to get to Carnoustie in a few weeks’ time for the Senior Open,” he said.“I missed a period last season through injury so was unable to play in last year’s Championship, so I’m itching to experience the magic of the event again.”McGinley, who oversaw Team Europe’s victory at Gleneagles four years prior to Bjorn’s triumph at Le Golf National, is no stranger to the challenge of links golf and is excited by the prospect of competing against the best in the over-50s game.“I spend most of my time doing media work these days but I still love getting the opportunity to play in the Senior Majors when I can,” McGinley said.“Carnoustie is a world class golf course and we are so lucky to get the chance to play it, so I know all the players will be looking forward to the week and I’m no different.” Lehman, who won the Claret Jug at Royal Lytham &amp; St Annes in 1996 and captained Team USA in the Ryder Cup ten years later, finished inside the top 20 in both of his previous Senior Open appearances at Carnoustie. Should he triumph later this month, he would become the oldest Senior Major Champion of all-time, aged 65.“I’ve always said I’d love to win this Championship,” he said. “Winning any Major is awesome but this one just feels so special, with the history behind it and the guys who have won it in the past.“I know just how passionate golf fans in Scotland and it’s going to be great to play in front of them again. Hopefully the weather holds out and everyone has an enjoyable week.”Woosnam is Wales’ most successful golfer of all time with 52 professional wins to his name during a glittering career, including his unforgettable Masters victory at Augusta National, while also spending 50 weeks at the summit of the Official World Golf Ranking.Woosnam, whose European side defeated Lehman’s U.S. Team at The K Club in 2006, has missed just two cuts in his 14 appearances in The Senior Open and is relishing the opportunity to mix it with the best players in the over-50s game once more.“Every time I play Carnoustie it feels really tough and it’s going to be a challenge again,” he said. “I always enjoy playing there and have had a few good rounds in the past, finishing in the top ten back in 2010.“You have to keep the ball lower in the conditions we face at Carnoustie. You can hit it high all day long but if you want to play in a coastal wind on a links course in Britain then you need to think about getting the ball back in your stance and keeping it down.”This will be the third time the Championship has visited Carnoustie, with 12-time Senior Major winner Bernhard Langer winning in 2010, before Paul Broadhurst’s triumph in 2016.Tickets start at £15 for adults, £7.50 for youths aged 16-24, while tickets for under 16s are completely free with any paid ticket. Fans are urged to act now to avoid disappointment as there are only a limited number tickets available so please act quickly to ensure you do not miss out. <a href="https://tickets.legendstour.com/eut/#/9988f234-1a13-4426-aba3-d1524fd60708/shop/custom-pack?fac=LEGENDS&amp;locale=en&amp;skin=pgaetsnr" target="_blank">Click here to purchase yours</a>.

Quartet of Ryder Cup Captains set for Senior Open

K.J. Choi will take a slender one-stroke lead into the final round of The Senior Open Presented by Rolex after a dramatic back nine at Carnoustie Golf Links. <img src="https://d2i96gnbj9z6mt.cloudfront.net/1784161781124/public/jpeg/1722101373.jpg" alt="GettyImages-2163203751" width="inherit" class="descAsset"> The South Korean was threatening to run away after opening a comprehensive six-stroke lead after 14 holes, but back-to-back double bogeys at the 15th and 16th blew Europe’s only Senior Major Championship wide open with 18 holes to play.The 54-year-old birdied the last to sign for a two under par round of 70 to lead by one on eight under par from Australia’s Richard Green, but the 54-hole leaderboard does not tell the full story.Choi, whose best Major Championship finish was a tie for third at the 2004 Masters Tournament, started the day with a two-shot lead but soon found himself with a healthy cushion after a run of four birdies in a row from the third.He dropped a shot at the par four seventh, but still made the turn at three under and in the driving seat with others, including playing partner Stephen Ames, struggling to keep up the pace.It was more of the same for the man with 32 professional wins as he navigated the back nine, with birdies at the 12th and 14th as he moved to five under for the day and seemingly in complete control.The next two holes, however, gave hope to Choi’s competitors as unfortunate lies off each of his tee shots meant he was on the back foot and gave four shots back to the course, before steadying the ship and finding a closing birdie for a round of 70.The 32-time worldwide winner, reflecting on the back-to-back double bogeys, said: "The 15th is right-to-left wind. I'm hitting a high cut, driver, and I hit a little pull. I thought I hit it in centre of the wedge and if it came out 50 yards in the fairway, I thought a bogey is still good. But it just got stuck in the rough and then just 20 yards and made a nice double-bogey."Then on 16, I hit a high draw, 5-iron, the same thing. A little small backswing, hurry up on the downswing, a little bit of pull. I thought I made good impact on the first swing and it came out barely going down on the green and it came out again, bunker. And then came out and double-bogey again."Australia’s Green, who has finished inside the top three in two Senior Majors in 2024, has a good record at Carnoustie after securing a tie for fourth at The Open in 2007 and will go in search of adding a maiden Major to his record after a four under 68 on day three."Was a nice round of golf, to go out and play with Paddy and feel the heat of battle out there was pretty good and pretty good to execute the shots that I needed to and to perform," he said. "You know, to get that score in the end has set me up for tomorrow."As much as I can take out of them, myself and how I deal with the pressure. Us players, you know, I think you've got to learn in those situations to deal with the pressure the right way. As much experience as you can have in those situations is good. I'm going to take that little bit of experience out of those events and see how I go."India’s Arjun Atwal, a three-time DP World Tour winner is third on six under par, two clear of Englishman Paul Broadhurst on four under. The 2016 winner was slipping away after being one over through 11 holes, but a scintillating run of an eagle and three birdies in five holes sees him well in the hunt for a third Senior Major.Argentina’s Angel Cabrera is fifth on three under, while Canadian Stephen Ames and Irishman Pádraig Harrington share sixth on two under.
