Tour news

New King of Scotland

Congratulations go to Austrian Bernd Wiesberger, who became the golfing King of Scotland with a thrilling playoff victory at the Scottish Open.

On a tense afternoon of sporting action (anyone see the cricket? How about the tennis?), golf played its part as Frenchman Benjamin Herbert fired in a final round nine-under-par to tie with Wiesberger at the top of the standings on -22 and force a playoff.

It took three holes and a couple of lucky escapes for Wiesberger to emerge victorious as Herbert missed two opportunities to seal the deal for himself before scuppering a straightforward putt for par at the 18th to hand Wiesberger his sixth European Tour title and second win of 2019.

Wiesberger’s win could not have come at a better time as he heads to Royal Portrush this week for The 148th Open Championship.

More bang for your buck

Golf clothing has come a long way from the old-style knickerbockers worn in the early 1900s - you can hardly imagine popping to the supermarket in a pair of those today. Fortunately, these days, golf brands make clothing that is high performing on the course but looks good enough to set the trend off it too.

FootJoy SS19 apparel

Take this polo from FootJoy. The attention is certainly in the detail with the foulard print trim on the button placket offering a classy addition to an already smart-looking polo. Even technology comes to the fore as the top's moisture-wicking properties make sure that, when it comes to the course, you are primed for performance.

This polo is a worthy addition to any golfing wardrobe, so come in and take a closer look at FJ's range next time you're down the club.
