News about Colin Montgomerie

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: It's remarkable that Tommy Fleetwood's reputation has been tied so closely to two of golf's most recurring thoughts. Both play to the same question: who is the next man up? We may have asked it simply in the context of who will break their duck in the majors one day. However, these days, it is also looking at the current drama of LIV and the next batch of targets. Fleetwood has naturally been mentioned in each of those conversations; a golfer on the verge of crashing through and a golfer too strong not to invite bids from a promising start-up circuit; and a golfer who is not well-known not to receive offers from an exciting start-up circuit.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: This devotee of Everton had dominated the DP World Tour Championship for a large portion of the final day before he had to leave with regret. Instead, the prizes were divided among his Ryder Cup teammates, Hojgaard, who won by five birdies in his final six holes for 64 and a 21 under par. The Dane's delight in winning his third DP World Tour title at the age of 22 will be palpable, but so will be the sad realization that his twin brother, Rasmus, fell one spot in the annual rankings, in which ten cards were available for the 2024 PGA Tour. The same family has ecstasy and agony.

Rory McIlroy will lift his fifth Race to Dubai title this week after Max Homa's victory in the Nedbank Golf Challenge secured the Northern Irishman's second consecutive crown. Jon Rahm can now no longer hear McIlroy ahead of the season-end DP World Tour Championship, which begins in Abu Dhabi on Thursday. In 2012, 2014, and 2015, the World No. 2 McIlroy won the Race to Dubai, previously known as the Order of Merit. Colin Montgomerie's eight titles are only bettered by the 34-year-old's five titles, including seven in a row from 1993-99 and Seve Ballesteros' six.

ROME'S RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: The overwhelming majority of his clients know who he is and who he is, according to the salesman's estimate. However, every so often someone will turn up to those meetings on the golf courses of Florida with no idea of what makes him different. They'll see his swing, and you can be certain it's the best in the class because at 67, he'll still knock it where he wants to. They'll also hear his pitches and patter, and many businesses will prosper if their company is so upbeat they could charm balls out of lakes.

MIKE DICKSON IN ROME: Novak Djokovic resurfaced at the Ryder Cup on Wednesday, and after showing off his golfing prowess in Rome, he said he will be supporting Europe, especially Rory McIlroy in particular. The world No. 1 shot tennis in the All Star match, which is part of the week's curtain raisers, and Colin Montgomerie's team won over seven holes over a challenge that featured Ferrari's Formula One driver Carlos Sainz. The 36-year-old Serb wrote that he will now be a spectator and cheer on the home front.

Novak Djokovic, the world No. 1 tennis player, has been a six-time champion of the Rome Masters, but he switched to a group of golf clubs on Wednesday to win the All-Star Match in the build-up to the 44th Ryder Cup. The Serbian, who claimed a record-tying 24th Grand Slam title by winning the U.S. Open this month, added yet another trophy to his cabinet on Wednesday, winning alongside Gareth Bale and legendary golfer Colin Montgomerie. The 36-year-old said on the first tee surrounded by a massive grandstand, 'It's such an honor, a golden opportunity for a once in a lifetime'.

Colin Montgomerie, a professional golfer, has tied the knot for the third time. On Tuesday afternoon, the Scot, 59, announced that he had married Sarah Buzman, his sports agent, in a social media post on his Instagram page. Colin shared a photograph of the smiling newlyweds in their wedding finery, alongside the caption: 'Just the perfect day!' Colin's nuptials is the third time he has married after first marrying Eimear Wilson in 1990 and his second wife Gaynor Knowles in 2008.

The Open returned to Woods' favorite course, St. Andrews, where he had won the tournament twice before, and the golf legend took what is likely his last stroll down the Old Course in front of an enthusiastic audience. This was just the 46-year-old's third competitive event of the year after returning from a horrific auto crash in 2021 and making the cut at the PGA Championship. Montgomerie, on the other hand, believes that the 150th Open should not have been Woods' third event of this year but not his career's final.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: A decade ago this month? It may have been yesterday. And so Luke Donald is smiling his way into the midst of an amazing weekend. 'I can't believe it's been so long,' he says. "Even now, it's good to sit down and reflect about Medinah every so often.' That was always his style, a thinker more than a shouter, except for the time he wasn't one, when he stood on a bench and belted out songs with champagne-soaked hair.'

On Saturday, George Clooney played a dapper figure as the guest of honor at the Omega Masters tournament at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Switzerland.

George layered the jacket over a dark shirt that he wore open at the neck while also sporting one of Omega's more expensive timepieces.
