🏆  Rory McIlroy to Get His Own Award


The DP World Tour just dropped a major announcement: the brand-new Rory McIlroy Award. It’ll go to the player who earns the most Race to Dubai points at all four Majors — a flex honouring Europe’s first modern Grand Slam winner.


Expect future contenders to be dialling in their swings — and probably swapping out golf tees like a lucky charm — just to get their name on Rory’s shiny new trophy.



🐅 Aaron Rai Shocks the Field in Abu Dhabi


Aaron Rai came back from a two-month break and went straight for the jugular, winning the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship by birdieing the playoff against Tommy Fleetwood. Fleetwood showed fight, but Rai was pure ice.


This win doesn’t just pad his CV — it rockets him back into the Race to Dubai spotlight.



🔥 Rory Chasing Another Milestone in Dubai


Rory’s week didn’t stop at getting an award named after him. He enters Jumeirah Golf Estates with a monstrous lead and a clear shot at his seventh Harry Vardon Trophy — and yes, he’s favoured.


TalkSPORT breaks down his hunt for history here → McIlroy’s milestone push.


If he closes it out, he’s not just part of golf history… he is the damn syllabus.



🚀 Tom McKibbin’s Record-Breaking Hong Kong Masterclass


Tom McKibbin went absolutely ballistic at the 2025 Hong Kong Open — wire-to-wire leader, finished with a sizzling 63, won by seven, and shattered the tournament scoring record.


Full breakdown here → McKibbin dominates Hong Kong.


Oh, and he casually secured invites to The Masters and The Open. Like it’s nothing.



🌍 Europe’s Power Surge Keeps Rolling


The European season has been carnage — in a good way. Marco Penge bagged his third win of the year during the chaos of the late-season swing.


DP World Tour covered the drama here → The Story of the Back 9.


Europe isn’t the underdog anymore. Europe is the main character.



🎯 The Tour Card Scramble Gets Brutal


Final PGA Tour cards are up for grabs, and Europe’s grinders are in full panic-mode intensity. Every shot feels like it comes with a mortgage attached.



This is the kind of pressure where even your golf tees feel like they’re sweating.

SWITCH TO BAMBOO GOLF TEES

Help us bring Death to Plastic Golf Tees

Our mission is to bring an end to plastic golf tees and convert all golfers to biodegradable bamboo golf tees.

 

Bamboo golf tees are over 4x stronger than regular wooden golf tees, and will naturally break down in as little as 4 months. Plastic golf tees can take up to 1000 years.

 

If regular golf tees are your thing, we have 3 sizes; 70mm pink bamboo golf tees for drivers, 54mm yellow golf tees for lower drivers and hybrids, and 32mm blue bamboo golf tees for irons and hybrids.

We also have a range of 5 sizes of bamboo castle golf tees; 70mm orange castle golf tees, 59mm pink castle golf tees, 39mm blue castle golf tees, 32mm red castle golf tees, and 25mm green castle golf tees.

All of our golf tees are available as a mixed box or as individual sizes, and we also offer a golf tee subscription. Simply choose the amount and choose how regularly you want deliveries, and we'll take care of the rest.
