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.

Gear Watch

Tommy Fleetwood's Club Selection Offers a Great Lesson:

One of the most interesting equipment stories this week came from Tommy Fleetwood's golf bag.

Rather than carrying clubs purely based on distance, Fleetwood has chosen clubs that produce different shot shapes and trajectories depending on course conditions.

It's a reminder that your golf bag shouldn't simply contain fourteen clubs with evenly spaced yardages.

Instead, think about the different shots you regularly face.

Can you hit something low into the wind?

Can you land the ball softly?

Do you have a reliable fallback option from the tee when accuracy matters more than distance?

Building your bag around versatility rather than numbers alone could save you far more shots than buying the latest driver.

Rory McIlroy Continues Searching for Perfection

Even one of the greatest players in the world is still experimenting.

Rory McIlroy continues testing different iron combinations in search of marginal gains.

That's reassuring for the rest of us.

There is no "perfect" golf bag.

The best players are constantly evaluating whether their equipment suits their game. Amateur golfers should do exactly the same.

Golf Technology

Could Your Smartwatch Soon Become Your Golf Coach?

One of the most fascinating developments this week came from the technology world.

Researchers have demonstrated that a standard smartwatch may soon be capable of analysing a golfer's full swing using only its built-in motion sensors.

Imagine finishing a practice session and receiving instant feedback about swing speed, body movement and timing without expensive launch monitors or multiple cameras.

While the technology is still in development, it gives us a glimpse into what everyday golf practice could look like in the next few years, i have added a link here to read about some of the current market leaders.

Tip of the Week

Build Your Bag Around the Shots You Actually Hit

Many golfers spend hundreds of pounds chasing extra distance.

Yet the biggest gains often come from making smarter decisions with the clubs you already own.

Next time you play, keep track of which clubs you actually use.

You might discover that one club never leaves the bag, while another could easily be replaced by something that fills a genuine gap in your game.

Sometimes the smartest equipment upgrade isn't buying something new—it's learning how to use what you already have more effectively.

Remarks

Golf never stands still, and this week was another reminder of just how quickly the game continues to evolve. From global changes in professional golf to emerging technology and valuable lessons from the world's best players, there's always something new to learn.

We'll be back next week with another roundup of the biggest stories from around the golfing world.
