Tour news

The art of persistence

The FedExCup Playoffs get underway this Thursday at the Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey - although Rory McIlroy has already confirmed he won’t be taking part. The world no. 7 has taken a few weeks off in order to recharge the batteries after a disappointing showing at the PGA Championship earlier this month.

Justin Rose, who is currently fourth in the FedExCup standings, leads the British charge and will be aiming to pip Dustin Johnson to the number one spot. That being said, recent PGA Championship and U.S. Open winner Brooks Koepka is in fine form and could be the man to beat in this year's grand finale.

Closer to home, there was a feel-good story over the weekend as Paul Waring, on his 200th attempt, finally won on the European Tour. It wasn’t easy, but he managed to hold his nerve in a play-off against South African Thomas Aiken to win the Nordea Masters. It’s a great lesson for all of us in the art of persistence and determination when it comes to golf; if you keep on working on your game, it will eventually pay off.

Bang for your buck

Sunglasses are becoming a must-have with the fantastic weather we’ve been enjoying in recent months. One brand you’ll certainly have heard of is Oakley, which offers a stunning range of sunglasses that can improve your vision on the course while keeping you looking great off it.

Look great wherever you go
The undeniably stylish look of this Oakley Targetline model makes it one of the most versatile offerings in their extensive range. Not only has it been designed with a fantastic lifestyle look in mind, but if you opt for Oakely’s golf-specific PRIZM lenses you’ll also benefit from maximised contrast that enhances subtle slopes and makes it easier to follow your drives into glaring sunlight.

If they're good enough for tour...

Simply put, if the best players in the world are wearing a specific shoe then it’s going to be offering them something that’s enhancing their game, whether that’s increased comfort or a more stable platform for generating power.

Try the tour look
As you can probably guess, superstar Jordan Spieth played a big role in the creation of the Spieth 2 shoe he's been wearing all season. Its sporty looking package offers lightweight comfort with Gore-Tex protection that will tackle any weather.

Follow in Spieth’s footsteps and you can also enjoy unique Rotational Resistance spikes that offer reliable traction in every direction.

Spotlight: Cleveland RTX 4 wedge

Cleveland's wedges are among the best on the market and have been for many years, so when they bring out a new model it certainly grabs our attention.

The RTX 4 is due to hit our shelves in September and is already in the bags of Graeme McDowell and Russell Knox to name a few. It features Cleveland's sharpest ever wedges, helping to generate more spin than ever before, especially out of the rough, which is sure to make it a popular choice for many golfers.
