World number one Rory McIlroy on Tuesday added his voice to the chorus of players opposed to the idea of playing this year’s Ryder Cup without spectators. For organizers of the Ryder Cup, which is due to take place at Whistling Straits, Wisconsin from September 25-27, that has included studying whether the tournament could be played without fans. PGA chief executive Seth Waugh revealed earlier this week that officials had looked at the possibility of creating a “virtual fan experience” for the fiercely competitive team clash between Europe and the United States.
Greyson Ghostwolf & Camowolf Crewnecks Greyson is known for creating polos and trousers with bold yet sophisticated prints. Now the label is taking this fashion-forward mentality to its range of knitwear with a mix of daring and subtle patterns for the season. The all-over pattern on the Ghostwolf is a signature look for Greyson while the combination of cool blues creates a unique camo print on the Camowolf. Both are 100% cashmere for a soft, luxurious feel. G/FORE Tipped Quarter Zip & Cardi G Cardigan G/FORE brings a modern edge to two traditional styles. The intarsia logo on the left sleeve and hit of color on the side put a contemporary spin on the classic quarter-zip (right). In the same fashion, the Cardi G proves that cardigans aren’t just for grandfathers these days. Rugged meets refined as a skull and crossbones graphic is combined with a soft, high-end cashmere on this stylish button-up. J.Lindeberg Clint Wool Coolmax Crewneck Twenty years ago, J.Lindeberg challenged the golf fashion status quo with fresh takes on knitwear. Deconstructed argyles and bold color-blocked designs were part golf, part high-fashion and part rock ‘n roll. Now, the Swedish fashion house is bringing a modern streetwear vibe to its golf collection with the Clint crewneck. The staggered block letters and eye-catching stripe put the Clint on-trend, while the temperature-regulating qualities of the Wool/Coolmax blend make it a smart choice for Fall’s variable conditions. Ralph Lauren RLX Cashmere Hoodie With streetwear and athleisure looks influencing golf fashion, hoodies are becoming a mainstream layering option on the fairways. Ralph Lauren puts a sophisticated twist on this casual piece with luxurious cashmere. Dress it up or dress it down. Pair it with a technical pant on the course or a 5-pocket chino off the course. Kjus Freelite Kulm Freelite Pullover Kjus is rebooting the golf sweater and giving it a technical upgrade in the process. The brand’s Kulm sweater uses body mapping technology and a new Freelite knit to place ventilation where you need it. Fabricated from a soft cashmere/silk blend, the Kulm features stretchy panels and minimal seams for freedom of movement. Dunning Taagan V-Neck Fleece The classic golf sweater meets your favorite college sweatshirt with the Taagan v-neck. The casual good looks and fleece-lined interior allow the Taagan to easily transition from the course to a seat in front of a roaring fire with a fine bourbon in hand.

Tiger Woods feels a special energy around the Old Course at St. Andrews. He has referred to it throughout his career as his favorite course in the world. He has won two Open Championships there. This summer, he has made the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews his priority. Woods traveled to Europe a week early for this week’s JP McManus Pro-Am at Adare Manor GC in Ireland, and he said Tuesday that his decision to not compete at last month’s U.S. Open was made with an eye ahead. “I had some issues with my leg, and it would have put this tournament in jeopardy, and so there’s no reason to do that,” Woods told reporters Tuesday. “This is a pretty historic Open that we are going to be playing. I’m lucky enough to be part of the past champions that have won there, and want to play there again, and I don’t know when they are ever going to go back while I’m still able to play at a high level. “I want to be able to give it at least one more run at a high level.” Woods has competed in five previous Open Championships at St. Andrews. His eight-stroke victory in 2000 was his second of four consecutive major titles in what is known as the “Tiger Slam.” His two-stroke victory at St. Andrews in 2005 was his second of three Open Championship titles; he also won in 2006 at Royal Liverpool. Woods’ first Open Championship appearance came in 1995 at St. Andrews. He made the cut as an amateur and finished T68. He finished T23 at St. Andrews in 2010 and missed the cut in 2015. “I’ve always loved this golf course, from the first time I played it back in ’95,” Woods said at the 2015 Open at St. Andrews. “I just love the creativity. You have to be able to hit all different types of shots. You need to have the right angles. Over the years of learning how to play the golf course under all different types of wind conditions, it changes greatly, and it’s based on angles. You have to put the ball on certain sides of the fairways in order to get the ball close. “To me, that type of thinking and the strategy that goes into that is something I’ve always loved.” After suffering severe injuries to both legs in a single-car accident in February 2021, Woods made his competitive return at this year’s Masters, making the cut and finishing solo 47th. He also made the cut at the PGA Championship in May but withdrew after a third-round 79; he had cited leg soreness after the round. Woods considered competing at last month’s U.S. Open at Brookline but withdrew prior to the tournament. He tweeted the week prior to the event that his body needed more time to get stronger for major championship golf. He flew to Ireland for this week’s two-day JP McManus Pro-Am, held Monday and Tuesday, and he plans to spend time practicing off-site before traveling to St. Andrews. “If you asked me last year whether I would play golf again, all of my surgeons would have said no,” Woods said Tuesday. “But here I am playing two major championships this year. I will always be able to play golf, whether it’s this leg or someone else’s leg or false leg or different body pieces that have been placed or fused. I’ll always be able to play.” For the chance to play next week at St. Andrews, he is very grateful.
