Morri: A great win for Zhang, and women’s golf in general
By definition it’s not every week a generational player comes along but those who made the effort to watch this week’s LPGA event were treated to an early look at just such a golfer.

Morri: Great golfers still come in all shapes and sizes
We see less of it in the modern men’s game than we used to but what a joy it was to watch the diminutive Ayaka Furue make the final of the LPGA’s matchplay tournament at the weekend.

The Thing About Golf Podcast #93 – Tomas Mezera
Lots of professional golfers like fast cars but none can quite match PGA Tour of Australasia Legends Tour player Tomas Mezera.

Morri: A tournament, and winner, about much more than golf
Every week there are multiple professional tournaments played around the world and every week those events are won by men and women who are, for the most part, excellent ambassadors for the game.

Morri: Tiger, Europe, money and the state of global golf
Here’s an unpopular take. The PGA Tour didn’t ruin Australian professional golf, nor have the DP World Tour ‘rolled over’ and become a US lap dog.

Morri: What’s the product?
I once sat in a meeting (I am not a ‘meeting guy’ as will become apparent) the aim of which was to increase traffic to a certain golf website I was, at the time, writing for.

The Thing About Golf Podcast #91 – Pat Welsh
Among the most unique perspectives in professional golf is that of the on course reporter.

Morri: Bizarro world
Perhaps it’s just me (in fact I’m sure it is) but I often find parallels between the 90s sitcom Seinfeld and golf.

Morri: In praise of Jon Rahm
It’s hard to know what was more impressive about Jon Rahm this past week. That he turned up at all, the quality of his golf or the fact he resisted the urge to criticise Patrick Cantlay for his slow play when in the commentary booth on Sunday.

Morri: Augusta’s public golf move
Forget LIV vs PGA Tour or the remarkable golf of Jordan Spieth and Phil Mickelson Sunday. Forget the Brooks Koepka controversy from the 15th hole Thursday (which spilled over into Friday) and the amazing performance of amateur Sam Bennett over the opening 36 holes.

Morri: A summer to remember and celebrate
Pretty much everything you read, watch and hear in the golf bubble from today until next Tuesday is going to be – inevitably and understandably – about The Masters.

Morri: Tour’s two birds one stone opportunity
You wonder sometimes if those in charge of the PGA Tour have any knowledge of, or perhaps even interest in, golf.
27 Mar 2023
Morri: Rollback could test power of ruling bodies
Leaving aside the golf specific elements, the most important development from last week’s rollback proposal might end up being the first real test of the legitimacy of the game’s governing bodies in living memory.

Morri: Seventeen at Sawgrass proves entertaining doesn’t mean interesting
Sure it’s entertaining but is the iconic 17th at Sawgrass a ‘good’ golf hole?
13 Mar 2023
Morri: Golf’s new world order
It can be hard to see the big picture while events are unfolding in the moment but make no mistake about the fundamental nature and scale of the changes men’s professional golf is undergoing right now.

Morri: Can Full Swing help golf’s greater good?
If golf and golfers are the measure then the Netflix documentary Full Swing would have to be considered a success.
27 Feb 2023
Morri: Lack of Saudi women’s discussion a blight on golf
Are the game’s top women being given a free ride when it comes to playing for Saudi money? Some on social media would like to have you think so, but the reality is likely much more depressing.
20 Feb 2023
Morri: Warren’s Sunday an example for us all
There were better scores shot Sunday at the Vic Open but there may not have been a better round than that played by joint third place finisher Justin Warren.

The Preview: International Series Oman
The Asian Tour’s LIV funded International Series kicks off for 2023 this week with the International Series Oman marking the first of likely 10 events for the year.

The Preview: WM Phoenix Open
Every golf tournament creates a little bit of history but this week’s Phoenix Open has some extra significance as the first full field ‘Designated Event’ on the PGA Tour.
7 Feb 2023
Morri: Rahm’s distance comments don’t measure up
It’s an unanswerable question (aren’t they usually the best kind?) but how much attention should we pay to the game’s best players when considering topics outside the actual playing of the game?
