Scott Vincent seals emotional comeback win at International Series Morocco
This is incredible, so amazing to be here and so thankful,' said the Zimbabwean star, who held off a strong field to return to the winner's circle in style.
Vincent, 33, produced a composed final round of three-under 70 at the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam (Red Course) in Rabat, finishing at 14-under-par 278—four shots clear of Thailand's fast-finishing Danthai Boonma, who posted a sizzling 66.
He then admitted to battling inner frustrations on the back nine as birdie opportunities repeatedly slipped by. 'It was a challenge, for sure, because I didn't know where I was standing, and it just felt like I was missing all those opportunities,' he said.
'But what can you do? You just have to get on to the next hole and try and do your best from there. And then I look up on the last and it's a three-shot lead. And I was like, 'wow, it all paid off!''
UAE Players on Display
Among those in the field with UAE connections were Joel Stalter, Dominic Foos, Gaganjeet Bhullar, and amateur Ahmad Skaik.
The win marks Vincent's second Asian Tour title, both coming in International Series events—the first being at the International Series England in 2022.
This latest triumph propels him to No.1 on the Asian Tour Order of Merit and second in the International Series Rankings, just behind Australia's Lucas Herbert. The top player in those standings at season's end typically secures a coveted spot on the LIV Golf League.
Vincent, who lost his LIV Golf card last season, is enjoying a phenomenal resurgence in 2025. This victory in Morocco is his eighth top-12 finish in 11 worldwide starts this year, cementing his place among the season's most consistent performers.
On the demanding 7,630-yard par-73 layout designed by Robert Trent Jones, Vincent delivered a ball-striking masterclass—hitting 17 greens in regulation on Sunday. His only blemishes were a pair of three-putt bogeys, but he never relinquished control. He also offered insight into his mindset on a course known for punishing errant shots: 'The key is to accept that mistakes will be made.'
Behind him, Boonma charged up the leaderboard with his bogey-free round, but it wasn't enough to reel in the composed Zimbabwean. Meanwhile, American Peter Uihlein briefly threatened with three birdies on the front nine before fading to a tie for third with Denzel Ieremia of New Zealand (69) and Maverick Antcliff of Australia (72), all finishing at nine-under-par.
Strong Birdie Finish
American Austen Truslow, a former Korn Ferry Tour standout, birdied his last three holes to grab solo sixth—his best result yet on the Asian Tour.
Vincent now joins an elite group of multiple International Series champions, alongside Uihlein, Carlos Ortiz (Mexico), Ben Campbell (New Zealand), Andy Ogletree (US), and Sarit Suwannarut (Thailand).
Looking ahead, the International Series continues with the Indonesian Masters at Royal Jakarta Golf Club from October 2–5, while the next Asian Tour Order of Merit Qualifier is the 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush, Northern Ireland, from July 17–20.

How The Universal Golf Rankings are shaking up the world of men's professional golf
Over the past couple of years, particularly in this newsletter and across the broader golf conversation, we have regularly featured articles on global golf rankings, with a focus on men's professional golf. This week, we're taking a deep dive into the Universal Golf Rankings, known as TUGR. With the introduction of LIV Golf, the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) system has come under heavy scrutiny, to put it kindly. Many argue it no longer fairly reflects the current state of the professional game. TUGR was launched as a direct response to the OWGR's omission of LIV Golf players competing in the LIV Golf League. Much of the noise has focused on the OWGR, while other aspects of the game, particularly the women's tours, are already well-covered by the LPGA, LET, and other global circuits, ensuring inclusion for all players and tours. TUGR was introduced in 2023 to promote a level playing field, built on the pillars of: accuracy, fairness, inclusivity, simplicity, transparency, and trust. Its rankings are based on an 18-month cycle, using a methodology that compares players directly against each other, purely on performance, not based on points, course difficulty, or score relative to par. This is the key difference from the OWGR and aligns more closely with the modern "Strokes Gained" systems used globally. The published results are always interesting and open to scrutiny, as has been the case since the launch of the OWGR in 1986. Of course, objective analysis can always be debated subjectively. Can one ranking system ever truly be accepted by the world of professional men's golf? Only time will tell, but ultimately, accuracy and trust will be the deciding factors for fans, players, and governing bodies. It's worth noting, though unsurprising, that LIV Golf has officially adopted TUGR rankings as a qualifying method for player entry into its annual LIV Golf Promotions tournament. Here is the current TUGR Top 10 (OWGR ranking in parentheses): 1. Scottie Scheffler (1), 2. Jon Rahm (71), 3. Rory McIlroy (2), 4. Bryson DeChambeau (16), 5. Tommy Fleetwood (15), 6. Joaquin Niemann (98), 7. Collin Morikawa (6), 8. Russell Henley (5), 9. Xander Schauffele (3), 10. Justin Thomas (4). Just a personal opinion: we're not entirely sure even Jon Rahm would agree that he's played better than Rory McIlroy over the past 18 months. These are fascinating times for the sport, as traditional golf authorities are being challenged at the very core of the game. Will the industry unite under a single system, or allow third-party rankings like TUGR to prove their credibility? Market forces may ultimately determine the "survival of the fittest" — or perhaps multiple rankings will become the new normal. TUGR has also invested in a Global Junior Rankings system to support junior players, parents, and coaches, with a focus on golf scholarship admissions and comparative analytics. We'll explore that TUGR Junior component in next week's edition.

How the PGA Tour FedEx Cup playoffs work and why Rory McIlroy is skipping Week One
The recent Wyndham Championship marked the end of the 2025 PGA Tour regular season, with the top 70 players in the FedEx Cup Rankings now advancing to the playoffs. All but one of those 70 players have, so far, committed to this week's FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first of three playoff events. Notably, Rory McIlroy, currently ranked second in the FedEx Cup standings, is not in the field. Following the FedEx St. Jude Championship, only the top 50 players will move on to the BMW Championship, and then the top 30 will qualify for the Tour Championship at East Lake. This year, the $100 million FedEx Cup prize pool includes player position bonuses awarded after each of the first two playoff events. Additionally, both tournaments offer quadruple points compared to regular-season events, and feature no cuts. Financially Driven Event The FedEx Cup Playoffs are very much financially driven, rewarding top performers with lucrative incentives, including the Comcast Business Top 10 bonuses; a model seen across many sports leagues. However, one notable change to the Tour Championship format could have influenced Rory's decision to skip week one, and it will be interesting to observe the impact. Over the years, the Tour Championship has seen numerous format tweaks, all aimed at delivering a dramatic season finale. Most recently, it used a staggered-start, handicap-style system: the FedEx Cup leader would begin at 10-under-par; second place at 8-under; and so on, down to the fifth place at 5-under. Standalone Tournament This year, however, every player will start at level par, treating the Tour Championship as a standalone tournament. Rory McIlroy, now 36 years old, has chosen to skip three of the eight Signature Events this season: The Sentry, RBC Heritage, and The Memorial Tournament. He's well known for being deliberate with his schedule, and has publicly stated he plans to play less in future, focusing on events that suit his game, schedule, and personal preferences. McIlroy is committed to performing at his best year-round, across the world, and carefully selects tournaments where he traditionally plays well; a decision he's fully entitled to make. Media Value to UAE We're fortunate to regularly see Rory competing in the UAE, and his presence continues to bring enormous media value and global attention to events here; often referred to as the "Rory Factor." From a promoter's perspective, attracting top players like Rory is one of the toughest jobs; vital not only for fans and sponsors but also for the long-term growth of tournaments.

This Week in Golf: FedEx Playoffs, LIV in Chicago, and DP World Tour hits Scotland
It's only the start of August, and yet it seems the golf season is already winding down. Surely not? This certainly appears to be the case on both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf circuits, with all four Majors now behind us. However, for the PGA Tour, it may just be a brief pause, with the FedEx Cup Playoffs serving as the highlight and climax of the season. But what happens after these next three weeks on the PGA Tour? Players ranked 51st and beyond in the FedEx Cup Rankings will continue to compete in fall events from September 11, 2025, to earn points and secure their status. The top 50 are already locked in, while those ranked 51st–70th are guaranteed to finish in the top 100, the target to retain PGA Tour cards for 2026. Signature Events In even finer detail, the fall season presents an opportunity for players to qualify for various Signature Events and, of course, win tournaments that bring with them two-year exemptions, trophies, prize money, and more. Players finishing 101st–125th will gain conditional status for the next season. The list of conditions and exemptions is extensive, and eligibility remains a key focus. Even players within the top 50 of the FedEx Cup Rankings can choose to play in the fall events, gaining valuable OWGR (Official World Golf Ranking) points. The KT Golf Newsletter will continue to track the PGA Tour through the remainder of the year and beyond, helping readers understand who's winning, who's surging, and what it all means. Meanwhile, LIV Golf is in Chicago this week, with all individual season standings to be determined here and next week in Indianapolis. The season will culminate with the team-only event in Michigan, from August 22–24. LIV Player Watch It will be interesting to see which LIV players continue competing worldwide after their season wraps up and how and where they choose to play. Historically, once both LIV Golf and the PGA Tour's main seasons conclude, the DP World Tour sees an influx of big-name players. This always strengthens the field and excites golf fans. Let's hope this collaborative trend continues as golf fans want to see the world's best playing against each other, all over the globe. This week, the DP World Tour visits Scotland for the $2.75 million Nexo Championship at Trump International Golf Club, Aberdeen. For those unfamiliar, Nexo, based in Switzerland, operates a leading digital platform for crypto holdings. It's a modern example of sports sponsorship at its most innovative. These weeks are especially crucial for non-Ryder Cup contenders. This is their 'bread and butter', a chance to earn valuable Race to Dubai points, retain their playing rights, and rise up the rankings. As with any business, only the best survive. Golfers must constantly prove themselves. Many players on the HotelPlanner Tour and other development tours are striving to climb the global golf pyramid. Only two events remain on the HotelPlanner Tour's revised calendar. This week and next in Denmark wrap up the "Closing Swing." Then it's on to the DP World Tour's "Back 9" where Ryder Cup teams will be finalised, followed by the Ryder Cup itself and the Tour's season-ending playoffs. London Calling Ladies Tour On the Ladies European Tour, action moves to London for the 54-hole, $2 million PIF Championship at Centurion Club. Leading the field are English stars Charley Hull and Georgia Hall, while breakout sensation Lottie Wood is off to the U.S. to plan her LPGA schedule and take a well-earned break. We'll only mention her name once this week but after tying for 8th at last week's AIG Women's Open, and now ranked 20th in the Rolex Women's World Rankings after just two professional events, the 21-year-old has moved to 11th in the LET Order of Merit. You can expect to read more about Lottie in future newsletters. There's still plenty of golf to follow. Khaleej Times Golf will continue to bring coverage with a special focus on the UAE and the Middle East. This Week's Schedule Thursday 7th – Sunday 10th August, 2025 (unless otherwise stated) PGA Tour Event: FedEx St. Jude Championship Dates: August 7–10 Venue: TPC Southwind, Memphis, Tennessee, USA Purse: $20 million DP World Tour Event: Nexo Championship Dates: August 7–10 Venue: Trump International Golf Club, Aberdeen, Scotland Purse: $2.75 million LIV Golf Event: LIV Golf Chicago Dates: August 8–10 (Friday–Sunday) Venue: Bolingbrook Golf Club, Chicago, USA Purse: $25 million HotelPlanner Tour Event: Irish Challenge Dates: August 7–10 Venue: Killeen Castle, Co.
