Golf

Despite its humble origins as a medieval Scottish pastime (that was once banned by the king as a distraction from military training!), golf is nowadays one of the world’s most widespread participation sports. Men and women of all ages from California to Florida and South Korea to Zimbabwe can’t seem to get enough of what was once famously called “a good walk spoiled” (or even more eruditely, by Winston Churchill, “a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an ever smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose”). Professional golf is also a hugely popular spectator sport, featuring prestigious tournaments held at gorgeous but devilishly challenging courses all over the world. The top tier of professional men’s golf is the PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association), while the top level of professional women’s golf is the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association).

Who are the top professional golfers in the world right now?

The top men’s (PGA) golfer in the world right now in terms of ranking is American Scottie Scheffler, though in terms of majors won, Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) still has the lead on him (for now). Tiger Woods had a much publicized comeback after his horrific car accident, but whether he can return to contention is debatable (nonetheless, Tiger always generated plenty of interest and coverage). The best women’s (LPGA) golfer is Nelly Korda (USA) in terms of the rankings, with Lydia Ko (NZE), Brooke Henderson (USA), Sei Young Kim (KOR), and Ayaka Furue (JPN) rounding out a very international field.

Is watching live golf exciting? Is watching live golf fun?

Watching live golf is quite different from going to other live sports, in that it is a sport that takes days rather than hours, and involves individuals taking their time rather than teams racing around at breakneck pace before the clock runs out. Many golf fans love the relaxed atmosphere around the sport, with many venues allowing fans to move freely around the edges of the course (within designated fan areas) to follow their favorite players through different stages of the course. Make no mistake though, there is no tension in the world like a golfer trying to sink a putt to win a four-day major tournament on the 18th hole in front of hundreds or even thousands of fans.
