Ogilvy: U.S Open's toughness means testing limits
It has forever been the most controversial of the four major championships. Especially when the topic of conversation is course set-up.

Ogilvy: All that really matters is what the ball does
Like just about every golfer, I suspect, I have spent my life searching for a better golf swing. It all started when I was very young, at a time when I was lucky enough to receive some vital lessons from great club professionals.

Ogilvy Column: It's going to be stressful. I’m going to be busy. But I am ready
In an exclusive column for Golf Australia magazine, new Internationals captain Geoff Ogilvy says momentum, local knowledge (his architecture company just redesigned the host course) and Chicago’s cultural ties with Melbourne will be just some of the factors that can snap his team's 25-year-long losing streak to the USA in Presidents Cup.

Ogilvy: The one time I played well enough at Augusta to actually win
“Eight times” is the response I give to a question I’m often asked: how many times did you play in the Masters? I wish it was more often, because I always felt the Augusta National course and my game were a pretty good fit.

Ogilvy: I’d like to see a series of global swings
This is the time of year when I get asked what I’d like to see happen in golf over the next 12 months.

Ogilvy: Holes that have always struck a positive chord with me
We all have favourites. I know I do when it comes to golf holes. They are not necessarily the best par-3s, par-4s and par-5s — although I would argue that they are right up there.

Ogilvy: The players that impressed me the most
Like everyone else in golf, I’ve been captivated recently by the emergence and somewhat meteoric rise of Ludvig Aberg.

Ogilvy: "We cared more about the money-list than world ranking"
If there is one thing that I have never really cared about in my career it is my world ranking at any particular moment in time.

Ogilvy: What I've learnt returning to the Tour
As we speak, I have had 405 starts on the PGA Tour over the course of my career. Of those, only 10 have taken place since August 2018.
12 Jul 2023
Ogilvy: “I’m still a player at heart.”
Almost exactly four years had passed since I last teed-up in a PGA Tour event, but when I drove off the 1st tee at the Barracuda Championship in mid-July it was, in many ways, as if I had never been away.
5 Oct 2022
Ogilvy: “Par is just a line in the sand …”
Late last year I spent some time watching two events on television. It was quite a contrast.
16 Mar 2022
Ogilvy: ‘We will showcase the Melbourne Sandbelt, something we haven’t really done for the last 20 years.’
First things first. When my fellow Golf Australia columnist, Mike Clayton, mentioned to me that we should try to set up what has since become the ‘Sandbelt Invitational’, we were both aware that this was not a new idea.

Ogilvy: The mental health challenges of pro golf
The relationship between sport and mental health has been in the news a lot lately, which is not too surprising when you think about it.
25 Oct 2021
Ogilvy: Can our rising young stars make it post-pandemic?
If I delve back into my memory banks, between the ages of 18 and 24 is when I improved the most as a golfer.
13 Oct 2021
Ogilvy: “Not many work harder than Hideki.”
This year’s Masters was a big deal in a couple of important ways. First of all, it was nice to see the year’s first (male) major back to being just that. And it was certainly a good thing for golf in general when Hideki Matsuyama, a player I have long admired, became the first Japanese winner of the green jacket.

Ogilvy: Why match-play is the best version of the game
I have to be honest. I was more than a little surprised when I heard the Australian Amateur Championships were going to be 72-hole stroke-play tournaments.
16 Jun 2021
Ogilvy: The alliance between Europe and the U.S. makes both Tours stronger
News that the PGA Tour and the European Tour are going to be working more closely together in the future wasn’t really a surprise.
10 Mar 2021
Ogilvy: Dustin Johnson is a transcendent, “freak show” talent
Watching the first-ever “November Masters,” the first thing that struck me was how different it was – and how much the same it was too.

Ogilvy: Filthy tempers aren’t necessarily a bad thing
I love the way Tyrrell Hatton plays golf. He’s fun to watch. He has a lot of talent. But what makes him most enjoyable is his temper.
18 Jan 2021
Ogilvy: Why DJ is one of the best players I’ve ever seen
We’ve had this discussion before, but it’s an ever-changing phenomenon in golf. And, as such, we need to keep an eye on it. For long enough most of us felt that, if everyone in the world played his best, Rory McIlroy would win. Well, not anymore. These days, if everyone plays at the top of their games, my feeling is that Dustin Johnson finishes first.

Ogilvy: The importance of course set-up
Course set-up has long been a topic of hot conversation on professional Tours all over the world. But it is important for every golfer. No matter how well or badly you perform, having fun and finding the game more interesting is a lot easier to achieve when the playing field is set-up properly.
