This Week in Golf: Lottie Woad's LPGA debut and final DP World Tour event highlights
This week is the final event on the Closing Swing of the DP World Tour – the Danish Golf Championship. Recommended For You
Leading the Swing is Scotland's Grant Forrest, winner of the recent NEXO Championship at Trump International, Aberdeen in Scotland. The leader on Sunday will receive a Swing Bonus of $200,000 plus entry to all the tournaments in the second half of the season.
Next week on the DP World Tour is the Betfred British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo – the final event for qualifying for the top 6 players for Team Europe for The Ryder Cup.
It is also the final Individual Event for LIV Golf in Indianapolis with the usual $25 million purse for the 54 holes; these numbers are seemingly becoming the norm and now do not seem to surprise us. Next week in Michigan, the Team Event will see the LIV Golf season come to a close.
It is remarkable to think that $28 million will be shared out in Bonus money in LIV Golf on Sunday in addition to the $25 million event purse, and the following week $50 million will be shared amongst the 13 teams, with $14 million to the winning team, $8 million to the runners-up and $6 million to the third team. We wonder if they are getting nervous?
On the LPGA, the Standard Portland Classic field is headlined by the likes of Nelly Korda, Minjee Lee, Lottie Woad, Jeeno Thitikul and more.
This is set to be a 144-player field played out over four days, with this event marking the LPGA's return to the Pacific Northwest.
England's Lottie Woad will be making her LPGA professional debut; she is already number 20 in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings.
Finally, there are just four remaining events on the Korn Ferry Tour. The top 75 players will compete in the Korn Ferry Championship, with four more qualifying events remaining on the calendar. Look out for our own Rayhan Thomas. Weekly Golf Schedule (14th - 17th August 2025) LIV Golf Indianapolis

Palace mull legal steps after losing appeal over Europa League demotion
Crystal Palace said on Tuesday they are seeking legal advice on possible next steps after the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed the club's appeal against UEFA's decision to demote them from the Europa League to the Conference League. European soccer's governing body made the decision over Palace's multi-club ownership rule breach because at the time of assessment on March 1 the John Textor-founded Eagle Football Group were majority owners of fellow Europa League side Olympique Lyonnais and also held shares in Palace. US businessman Textor's Eagle Football Holdings sold their stake in Palace last month. However, CAS upheld Uefa's ruling on Monday, and dismissed Palace's argument that the club received unfair treatment in comparison to Lyon and Nottingham Forest, with the latter replacing them in the Europa League. "The decision by UEFA and followed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport shows that sporting merit is rendered meaningless," Palace, who had qualified for the Europa League as FA Cup winners, said in a statement. "It appears that certain clubs, organisations and individuals have a unique privilege and power ... while we respect the CAS tribunal members, the process is designed to severely restrict and, in our case, make it almost impossible to receive a fair hearing. "UEFA's decision has wider implications for the governance of the sport. A combination of poorly conceived regulations and their unequal application means our brilliant fans will be deprived of the chance to watch this team compete in the Europa League for the first time in our history." Uefa and CAS were not immediately available to comment. Palace said the European Court of Justice's ruling earlier this month, which allows national courts to conduct in-depth reviews of arbitral awards by CAS to ensure they are compliant with EU law, will ensure greater scrutiny of sport's top court. "Only then will fairness and due process be granted to every team," Palace added. "Although we continue to take legal advice on the next steps, we will compete in the Conference League." Palace, who won the Community Shield on Sunday with victory over Premier League champions Liverpool on penalties, are in the Conference League qualifying playoff round later this month.

Justin Rose clinches dramatic St. Jude FedEx Championship win in playoff thriller
Justin Rose (Eng) continued his fine form and made up a three-shot deficit over the last five holes against his fellow countryman Tommy Fleetwood, and then made two birdies in a three-hole playoff against US Open champion J.J. Spaun (US) to win the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind on the PGA Tour. Rose delivered another impressive performance, closing with a 3 under 67 for his 24th victory worldwide that puts him back into the top 10 in the OWGR at age 45 and secures his spot in another Ryder Cup for Team Europe. Perhaps lost in Rose's remarkable rally was another disappointment for Dubai-based Fleetwood seeking his first PGA Tour title, especially when his 35-foot birdie on the 12th was the first of three birdies in a four-hole stretch that gave him a two-shot lead over the rest with just three holes to play. But he had to scramble for par on hole 16 and was between clubs on the 17th, hit a poor shot and missed his par attempt from seven feet for bogey. Needing a birdie on the 18th to have a chance, he drove into a bunker. Fleetwood shot 69 and finished one shot out of the play-off alongside Scottie Scheffler, who had to settle for a 67 but kept up his remarkable streak of form this season. Fleetwood's statistics make for remarkable reading, and his time must come soon: the 34-year-old has now made 161 PGA Tour starts without a win. He has six runner-up finishes, six third-place finishes, 29 top fives and 42 top 10s. He has eight wins worldwide, but none on American soil. 'There's a lot of positives to take, as much as I won't feel like that right now. I'm just going to look at what I feel like I could have done and how close it was,' Fleetwood said. Bud Cauley was on the bubble to finish in the top 50 in the FedEx Cup when he holed a bunker shot for birdie on the 17th hole and locked up his spot for the second round of the FedEx Cup playoffs next week outside Baltimore. Rickie Fowler, who missed the postseason last year, shot 69 to tie for sixth and advance to the BMW Championship. Others who moved into the top 50 were Kurt Kitayama, Jhonattan Vegas and J.T. Poston. The top 50 are also assured of being in all the $20 million signature events next year. There was plenty of movement around the top 50 bubble: Jordan Spieth never got on track this week, finished with a shot in the water on the 18th and shot 68 to tie for 38th to finish 54th. Chris Kirk was inside the top 50 until he hit into the water on the 15th for bogey and failed to birdie the par-5 16th. A closing birdie left him at No. 51. The real drama this week was at the top of the leaderboard, particularly with Rose. He played in the final group with Fleetwood and was three shots behind when Rose hit a 6-iron to just inside 15 feet for birdie at the par-3 14th. He followed with two more short birdies, and then poured in a 15-footer on the 17th for his fourth in a row. 'This is going to be a fun one for us to celebrate,' Rose said. In the FedEx Cup Rankings, Rose moves to fourth, Spaun to third, Scheffler remains in the lead, Fleetwood to ninth, with Rory McIlroy, who took the week off, remaining in second. Results (Par 70, 7,288 Yards) J. Rose (Eng) 64, 66, 67, 67. 264. JJ. Spaun (USA) 68, 66. 65, 65. 264. S. Scheffler (USA) 67, 66, 65, 67. 265. T. Fleetwood (ENG) 63, 64, 69. 69. 265.
