LPGA Goes Global – From Hawaii to Asia, it’s time to take the Event Caddie cap worldwide

LPGA Tour Highlights

LPGA Highlights – Pro Caddie Fraser at the LOTTE Championship

This week, the 2025 LOTTE Championship kicked off at Hoakalei Country Club in Ewa Beach, Oʻahu. From October 1–4, 2025, 120 of the world’s top women golfers competed. The $3 million purse and $450,000 winner’s prize added extra pressure. Players faced Hoakalei’s par-72, 6,500-yard course, which tested skill and strategy at every hole.

The course challenged golfers with water hazards, strategic bunkers, and elevated greens. In addition, the Pacific winds made scoring unpredictable. As a result, even simple holes could become difficult. The seaside setting, combined with rolling inland terrain, provided a dramatic backdrop. Fans enjoyed sweeping ocean views, adding to the island’s vibrant atmosphere.

Hawaiian Kickoff Prepares Players for the Asian Swing

This year, the Wednesday–Saturday schedule gave players extra recovery time. It was also a warm-up for the LPGA’s Asian Swing. Next, the tour heads to Shanghai (Buick LPGA). Then it continues in Korea (BMW Championship), Malaysia (Maybank), and Japan (TOTO Classic). From Hawaii’s waves to Asia’s fairways, the LPGA Tour is becoming truly global. Hoakalei was the perfect launchpad for a season filled with precision, risk, and excitement.

Celebs Crash Course – Brooklyn Beckham battles the sand while Zola drives Europe’s spirit

Weekly Highlights – Ryder Cup Special

Ryder Cup 2025 begins!

Let’s catch up with the pre-tournament action at the Ryder Cup. This iconic event isn’t just about golf—it’s about unexpected heroes, unforgettable moments, and plenty of off-course drama.

Football legend Gianfranco Zola has taken on a surprising role. Acting as cart driver for Team Europe’s vice-captain Francesco Molinari, Zola has quickly become a fan favorite. Even seasoned pros such as Justin Rose admitted they were starstruck. His presence adds charisma and energy, showing that inspiration can come from the most unexpected places.

At the same time, Brooklyn Beckham found himself in the spotlight for very different reasons. During a celebrity lead-up event, he faced a crash course in humility. From repeated bunker struggles to wayward shots and even a tense three-minute ball search, Beckham’s round became a comedic test of nerves. The crowd loved every second—cheering, jeering, and capturing the chaos on their phones.

Between Zola’s star power and Beckham’s fairway follies, the Ryder Cup 2025 pre-tournament buzz is already reaching new heights. With surprises on and off the course, this year’s showdown promises drama, laughter, and inspiration before the first official tee shot is even struck.

TOY CLUBS TO TOP 10 – Local teen lights up The Home of Golf

Supporting Young Talent

Local youth talent Tom Gilbert visits us after St Andrews Boys Open

A local talent is making waves on the greens! At just 17 years old, Tom Gilbert recently finished an impressive 9th out of 150 players in the prestigious St Andrews Boys Open, a tournament for under-18s that attracts international competitors.

From the very beginning, golf has been part of his life — he first picked up plastic clubs at the age of 3. Today, his game is inspired by his idol Rory McIlroy, with the trusty 8-iron being his go-to club. When it comes to his favourite course, nothing beats St Andrews, the very place where he showcased his talent.

We were therefore delighted to meet him, hear his story, and let him know we’d be glad to sponsor him along his golfing journey in 2026 at county level and beyond.

With skill, passion, and such early dedication, this young golfer with a handicap of 2 is certainly one to watch. Keep an eye on the fairways—because this rising star is just getting started!
