A trio of Ryder Cup stars will play in Scotland
Three members of the winning Team Europe squad on the Marco Simone GC will trade sunny climbs in Rome for some more temperamental weather in Scotland in October when they take part in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championships in St Andrews.
Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick from England will appear on the field, as well as the hosts’ hero, Robert MacIntyre from Scotland, who was undefeated in his debut Ryder Cup season.
Tommy Fleetwood secured Team Europe’s singles point against Rickie Fowler in the Ryder Cup with a stunning tee shot on the par-4 16th hole at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome.
Fleetwood secured a decisive cup point for Europe, beating the USA 16.5-11.5, and Fitzpatrick – for the third time – finally scored his first point. He will be joined on the Old Course this week by his brother Alex, Rasmus Hojgaard, the identical twin of Ryder Cup debutant Nicolai, and Team Europe vice-captains Nicolas Colsaerts and Thomas Bjorn.

Race to qualify for the DP World Tour Championship
The big end to the DP World Tour season is gaining momentum, and the Alfred Dunhill Links is the first of only five tournaments left on the 2023 calendar where players can secure a place at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai starting on November 16.
Only the top 50 players in the DP World Tour rankings at the time of the tournament are competing for the trophy, and past winners include Fitzpatrick, Rory McIlroy (both twice) and Jon Rahm three times, with his last triumph coming last year.
McIlroy currently leads the 2023 rankings, with Rahm in second place and fellow Team Europe Ryder Cup star Viktor Hovland in eighth.
The likes of MacIntyre (10th), Tyrell Hatton (12th) and Fleetwood (19th) are also doing well in qualifying, while Shane Lowry (35th), Ludvig Åberg (48th) and Fitzpatrick (60th) have some even more work.
Shane Lowry reflects on his draw with Jordan Spieth and what it took for Team Europe to win the Ryder Cup.
End of the LPGA Tour and LET season
This year, there are eight more LPGA Tour events ahead of us, culminating in the CME Group Tour Championship on November 16, as well as six Ladies European Tour tournaments.
Last year, two-time major champion Lydia Ko of Australia won the Tour Championship for the second time, while England’s Charley Hull won in 2016.
There are still two Aramco Team Series events left in LET, the first of which will take place this week in Hong Kong – live on Sky Sports Golf from 6:00 a.m. on Friday, and the season will end with the Spanish Women’s Open tournament starting on November 23.
Team Europe’s Ryder Cup success followed a 14-14 draw in Andalusia, Spain, which allowed the women to defend the Solheim Cup for the third consecutive year. Three of this team have competed in the Spanish Women’s Open in the last three years: Caroline Hedwall won last year, home favorite Carlota Ciganda in 2021 and Emily Pedersen in 2020.

The last fall PGA Tour events in the 2023 season
There will be six more PGA tour events before the end of the year, starting with this week’s Sanderson Farms Championship – live on Sky Sports Golf from 9 p.m. on Thursday, when Åberg will start.
The 23-year-old Swede, who impressed in his Ryder Cup debut by earning two points out of a possible four, qualified for six of the seven PGA Tour events he played in after turning professional in June, including a fourth-place finish John Deere Classic race. He then won the Omega European Masters on the DP World Tour in just his ninth tournament as a professional, solidifying his position on Luke Donald’s team.
Ludvig Aberg and Viktor Hovland set a Ryder Cup record by defeating Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka with a 9-7 victory on day two.
The schedule includes trips to Japan, Mexico and Bermuda before the RSM Classic season ends on November 16.
