PGA Tour - The American Express
World number one Scottie Scheffler has enjoyed a clinical start to the 2026 season, securing his 20th PGA Tour title with a commanding four-shot victory at The American Express in La Quinta, California. In what was his first competitive outing of the year, the American carded a final-round 66 to finish on an impressive 27-under par, comfortably fending off a chasing pack that included Australian veteran Jason Day. This milestone win not only grants Scheffler lifetime membership on the Tour but also sees him join the elite company of Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the only players to reach 20 titles and four major championships before the age of 30. Despite a late double-bogey at the par-three 17th, his ruthlessness on the front nine ensured a routine finish to a masterclass performance, signalling to his rivals that the world’s top-ranked golfer remains in formidable form.

DP World Tour - Hero Dubai Desert Classic
Patrick Reed secured a clinical four-shot victory at the 2026 Hero Dubai Desert Classic, marking his first-ever Rolex Series title and his fourth career win on the DP World Tour. The 35-year-old American finished with a 14-under-par total at the Emirates Golf Club, maintaining his composure despite a spirited mid-round challenge from David Puig, who briefly narrowed the gap to a single stroke on the back nine. Reed remained level-headed, capitalising on a crucial birdie at the 13th to pull clear as his rivals faltered, eventually finishing comfortably ahead of England’s Andy Sullivan, who claimed solo second at ten under par. For Reed, the triumph was particularly significant as it represented his first victory in a standalone DP World Tour event, providing a sense of redemption after he narrowly missed out on the Dallah Trophy at the same venue in 2023.

Sunshine Tour - Cell C Challenge in Honour of Gary Player
Zimbabwean golfer Benjamin Follett-Smith secured his third Sunshine Tour title in dramatic fashion on Sunday, clinching victory at the Cell C Challenge in Honour of Gary Player at Killarney Country Club. Despite starting the final round three strokes adrift of the leader, Follett-Smith mounted a magnificent charge, carding a six-under-par 66 to finish the tournament on 15-under-par overall. The win was confirmed after Haydn Porteous, who finished a single stroke behind, narrowly missed a ten-foot birdie putt on the 18th that would have forced a play-off. Observed by the legendary Gary Player himself, Follett-Smith overcame a nervous bogey-bogey finish to reclaim his place in the winner’s circle, a result he described as a massive honour and a vital boost to his playing status ahead of the upcoming co-sanctioned schedule.

PGA Tour of Australasia - Webex Players Series Victoria hosted by Marcus Fraser
Jordan Doull secured his second Challenger Tour of Australasia title following a dramatic four-hole play-off against Cameron John at the Webex Players Series Victoria. Held at the Rosebud Country Club, the tournament reached a thrilling conclusion after both players finished regulation play tied at 12-under-par.
