Opinion: Hopefully it’s goodbye for now, not forever
This week marks a big moment in men’s professional golf with the abandonment of the World Golf Championship concept.

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?

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.

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.
13 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?
6 Feb 2023
Morri: What would Thommo think?
It can often be instructive when thinking about big issues facing the game today to wonder what the late, great Peter Thomson might have made of it all.
23 Jan 2023
Morri: Spaun’s untucked shirt reveals golf’s dumb side
It passes for ‘news’ when it shouldn’t but the great ‘untucked shirt debate’ of the weekend at Kapalua points to a much bigger discussion golf needs to be having.
9 Jan 2023
Morri: Game for the ages
It’s something we too often take for granted but the ability to play golf into later years – even at a high level – is one of the game’s greatest appeals.
12 Dec 2022
Morri: Distance debate back on the horizon
One thing the arrival of LIV Golf has achieved has been to shift focus away from the otherwise perennially simmering distance discussion.

Morri: Time to be proactive to protect our pastime
While I haven’t read it I’ve always been intrigued by the title of the book ‘Amusing Ourselves To Death’.

Morri: The parallels of dog ownership and golf
There are only two types of people in this world: golfers and non-golfers.

Morri: Imagination the key to golf’s image problem
The ‘I’s’ have it. Image and imagination, opposite sides of the same coin that contain both the problem and solution for golf.
5 Sep 2022
Opinion: Cam’s chance to genuinely ‘grow the game’
It’s the most tired phrase in world golf. And so many of those telling us that they are “growing the game” have no intention to do so, or know what it looks like.

Morri: Two reminders of golf’s best 76 years apart
Forget Tiger and Rory and their new digital venture and Norman and Phil and their Saudi backed LIV Tour.
22 Aug 2022
Opinion: Major week time for major farewell
It always started the same.
20 May 2022
Morri: A reminder of professional golf’s place
It’s easy to get distracted by professional golf, particularly those of us who work in the industry (and especially the media).
9 May 2022
Morri: Australian Open decision combines our best assets
There will be those not in favour, but I say Golf Australia are to be applauded for last week’s announcement that the 2022 Australia Opens will adopt the Vic Open model of the past decade.
2 May 2022
Morri: Less for pros, more for the rest of us
Less distance for pros and elite amateurs but more for those who need it. That looks to be the trade off the R&A and USGA are seeking as they inch ever closer to a roll back of distance at the top levels of the game.
21 Mar 2022
Huggan: Sawgrass’ finish doesn’t live up to the hype
This is difficult for me. As someone who leans left politically – here a good fit for anyone who deals with professional golfers as much as I do – this is a tough thing to admit.
