It will be 3/4 handicap 4BBB and there will be food and presentations after the games. Cost to be confirmed.

Tour news

Rahm roars in the Bahamas

The chances of securing victory in an 18-man event are considerably better than any other week on the PGA Tour, granted. But when you consider all the competitors were inside the World’s top 30 and that the Hero World Challenge has the euphoria of being hosted by a certain Tiger Woods, this is anything but a ‘mickey-mouse’ tournament.

Heading into Sunday’s final round, Jon Rahm shared the overnight lead with big-hitting duo Tony Finau and Henrik Stenson. Following a tense opening battle between Rahm and Finau, the Spaniard pulled away as he found 12 of his last 13 greens during a highly impressive display of ball striking. The end result? A final-round 65 (-7) and a four-shot victory; his third individual title of 2018.

Finau denies Rose

Although Finau's tournament didn't end as he had hoped when we woke up Sunday morning, his birdie down the 72nd hole was enough to earn him outright second place, ahead of Justin Rose in third. The Englishman needed to finish T2 or better to return to the summit of the World Rankings but must now wait at least one more week to topple Brooks Koepka.

How many greens?

If you had to describe your iron play in one word, what would it be? Pin-seeker? Average? Inconsistent? Regardless of how your irons were this year, 2019 brings about a new season so there's no better time to start working on your game - there's always room for improvement.

One way to do this is by getting custom fitted for Mizuno's JPX 919 Hot Metal irons. These clubs boast some outstanding technology to help you make more greens in regulation, such as Cup Face construction for more distance, allowing you to take a more lofted club into the green. Coupled with Mizuno's trademark DNA fitting software, which will match you with the perfect shaft and precise specifications for your game, this could be the club which takes your iron play to the next level in 2019.
