Another busy week in the world of golf has delivered everything from major changes to the professional game to fascinating equipment insights and technology that could soon change how we all practice. Whether you follow the PGA Tour every weekend or simply enjoy getting out for 18 holes with friends, here's everything worth knowing from the last seven days:
PGA Tour Expands Its Global Reach
One of the biggest announcements this week came off the course rather than on it.
The PGA Tour and DP World Tour have announced a new multi-year partnership with the Asian Tour, creating a clearer pathway for the best players in Asia to compete on golf's biggest stages.
For fans, this means more opportunities to watch exciting young talent emerge before they become household names. For professional golf, it represents another significant step towards strengthening global competition and expanding the game's reach.
With the sport becoming increasingly international, don't be surprised if the next superstar you've never heard of today is competing for major championships in just a few years' time.
Why it matters: Golf continues to become more global, creating stronger fields and more opportunities for rising talent.
LIV Golf Faces More Questions About Its Future
While the action on the course remains strong, LIV Golf continues to make headlines away from tournament play.
Reports this week revealed the league is facing fresh legal action over technology licensing, while discussions around future investment continue as questions remain about its long-term financial structure.
Despite the uncertainty, LIV's biggest stars continue to perform at an incredibly high level, meaning the league remains a major part of professional golf's landscape.
For golf fans, the important takeaway is simple: the relationship between LIV, the PGA Tour and the major championships continues to evolve, and it will likely remain one of the sport's biggest stories for years to come.
Why it matters: Any changes to LIV Golf have a direct impact on player movement, tournament fields and the future of professional golf.
Scottie Scheffler Keeps Setting the Standard
It's becoming increasingly difficult to write a weekly golf roundup without mentioning Scottie Scheffler.
Once again, Scheffler finds himself near the top of a PGA Tour leaderboard, continuing what has been one of the most consistent stretches of golf in recent history.
What makes Scheffler so impressive isn't spectacular recovery shots or impossible birdies, it's the complete absence of mistakes. His disciplined course management, exceptional ball striking and patience continue to separate him from the rest of the field.
There's a valuable lesson here for every golfer:
The best players don't try to hit miracle shots. They consistently make smart decisions and allow good golf to build over four rounds.
Why it matters: Consistency almost always beats brilliance over 18 holes.
Women's Golf Continues Its Incredible Growth
Women's professional golf continues moving from strength to strength.
This week's Women's Scottish Open marks the perfect preparation for the AIG Women's Open, attracting many of the LPGA's biggest stars and showcasing the incredible depth of talent across the women's game.
Prize funds continue to rise, television coverage keeps improving and fan interest has never been higher.
If you haven't watched much LPGA golf recently, it's well worth giving it a chance. The quality of ball striking, course management and putting is exceptional.
Why it matters: The LPGA is producing some of the highest quality golf anywhere in the world and continues to grow every season.
