“I feel like I've gotten closer to my teammates and some of the guys that I play a lot of golf with,” Stenson said. I would say I am better off spending my energy on making three-footers and hitting fairways rather than trying to figure that one out.” “There are multiple tours in the world and as far as I'm concerned, as long as you fulfill your [membership] criteria and earn your right to be there, you should be able to play in as many tournaments as you like. The Ryder Cup has been a huge part of my career, so I wish Luke all the best with the team going forward. The emphasis was on how Stenson has been welcomed back into the DP World Tour fold, playing for the first time since being dropped as captain in the wake of his decision to join the Saudi-backed upstart tour. In his first DP World Tour event since the Genesis Scottish Open last July—and his first competitive play in 10 weeks—the deposed skipper and now LIV Golf League player Henrik Stenson made four birdies and an eagle en route to a 68 at Yas Links.

Henrik Stenson's start to the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship was much like his past year — a whirlwind.

"Coming in borderline late losing the clubs; not getting the clubs on a direct flight is always frustrating," he said. "The way I look at it, when all of us went to play on the PGA Tour back in the day, we shouldn't have been welcomed back either then," Stenson said. "It's not great but it is what it is, and Ryder Cup has been a huge part of my career. It's been a rocky road, not just on my end the last six months. "I probably had the worst night of sleep last night," Stenson said after Thursday's round. court last July, Stenson fired an opening 4-under 68 and sits T-12 despite a rough start to his week.

I think there's a great opportunity now to blood some of these younger players and get them out. Watch the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship throughout the week live on Sky Sports. Some will have more of a point to prove than others, but there's plenty of new talent on the DP World Tour to watch out for. If those LIV players kept that out of the public domain then I think things would be in a slightly better position. It's their choice, they've gone ahead and done that, so they've got to bear the consequences coming their way. Is he playing well enough to make that team?

“I was swinging it really nice, hitting it nice but my scoring was terrible because of the lack of golf I’d played. “The competitive juices had been gone as it’s been such a long time, essentially a year and a half, and a lack of competition can be tough and I noticed that around about Portugal,” he said. “It’s still a bit niggly,” he said of his nerve issue, “but it’s much better than it was, so I’m just hoping that, even if I get the aches and pains, I’ll have recovered the next morning and hopefully over time we’ll get to a stage where it is normal again.

The Swede hasn't experienced any hostility on his return to DP World Tour action.

Andy took up the game at the age of seven and even harboured ambitions of a career in the professional ranks for a spell. The Ryder Cup has been a huge part of my career and I wish Luke all the best with the team going forward and we'll see where all end up in the long-run with this." A lifelong golf fan, Andy graduated in 2019 with a degree in Sports Journalism and got his first role in the industry as the Instruction Editor for National Club Golfer. Despite the controversy around his appearance in the year's first Rolex Series event, Stenson was able to overcome jet lag and his inexperience on the Yas Links layout to post an impressive four-under 68. And pushed on whether he has any regrets about giving up the Ryder Cup captaincy, he added: "No, I made my decision and obviously Ryder Cup Europe made theirs. "The way I look at it is obviously when all of us went and played the PGA Tour back in the day we shouldn't have been welcomed back either then," Stenson told Sky's Tim Barter.

“It would be tough to be a playing captain,” said Donald, employing a predictably straight bat to the query. It’s early days and 64 is a nice start to the week. Arnold Palmer in 1975 at Laurel Valley was the last playing skipper on either side in the match. I still think I have a good enough game to win. If the putter is ‘on’ as it was for me today, I feel like I can go low. And I know how to react with him. If I can drive like I have the last few months and my putter behaves I’m in a good spot.” I was playing well in practice but you never know what will happen under the gun.” “I never think it’s bad to be surrounded by a lot of good players,” said the 45-year-old Englishman, who hadn't shot this low a round in a DP World Tour start since the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in September 2019. So this is a fun course for me, one where you are nearly always going to hit a lot of fairways and greens. One of Donald’s vice captains, Edoardo Molinari counted seven birdies in his 67, a score matched by two former Open champions, Shane Lowry and the “other Molinari,” Francesco. “If they can’t beat me, then what the hell are they doing?”

As the LIV Golf v. PGA Tour saga plays out slowly in the U.S. courts, a similar legal challenge in the U.K. is likely to be settled in February.

Some of the more cynical observers have concluded that going to arbitration and fighting a case he might lose is a means to an end for DP World Tour chief executive Keith Pelley. In what might be viewed as an indication of things to come, Otaegui was noticeably overlooked for the A lot of other sports will be interested to see how bodies with significant power are exercising their control and the application of their own rules and regulations on members. Unclear, too, is what impact a verdict that favors LIV golfers might have on the strategic alliance between the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. and compete on the PGA Tour jumping onto the LIV bandwagon. A schedule made up of DP World Tour events, LIV Tour events and the four majors might sound attractive. Of course, the ultimate verdict will have far-reaching implications beyond the ability of DP World Tour members like Poulter, Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson and Martin Kaymer to continue competing on what was for long enough their home circuit. “It may be hard for Poulter and the others to prove that the ‘punishment’ inflicted on them is in fact an unfair restraint of trade,” Nolan says. Having said that, I do agree that it is also hard to substantiate the DP World Tour’s exercising of what they consider to be their powers in an attempt to ban these players. If they lose, the reality is that they can still go out and play golf on the LIV Tour and make what is clearly a lot of money. Both sides have agreed to a binding verdict after arguing in front of the non-profit, independent U.K. Twelve LIV golfers are set to tee it up this week at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.

This announcement builds on progress made in 2022 to reduce the carbon footprint of these events. Margaret Kim, CEO of Gold Standard, added: “I am pleased to see the sustainability efforts being implemented across the five Rolex Series tournaments. There is a lot more that we need to do to minimise direct impacts, but we are determined to build this out robustly and incrementally with our partners as we continue our pathway to net zero by 2040.” This will be complemented with investments in local ecosystem restoration and other low-carbon, nature-based legacies with regional partners. Action plans are informed by the carbon emissions baselines produced for the events in 2022. This was announced by the DP World Tour, which added that all five of its Rolex Series tournaments (the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai in November being one of them) in 2023 will be carbon neutral and will adopt a consistent and highly credible approach to carbon reduction and climate mitigation.

The five Rolex Series flagship events on the 2023 DP World Tour program will take a consistent approach to reducing.

This saves thousands of tons of firewood per year and reduces CO2 emissions. They allow vulnerable people to save money, reduce deforestation and reduce emissions. Margaret Kim, CEO of Gold Standard, added : “I am happy to see the sustainability efforts being implemented across all five Rolex Series tournaments. We are now focused on a credible, phased and consistent implementation and it is fantastic to see the Rolex Series, the events that showcase the best of the DP World Tour, leading the way. Keith Pelley, European Tour Group Managing Director, said of the initiative: “Last year, we defined our position by launching the European Tour Group's new sustainability strategy, while becoming a signatory to the United Nations Framework for Action on Sport for Climate. This approach will be complemented by investments in the restoration of local ecosystems and other low-carbon natural heritages with regional partners.

Former Open champion Francesco Molinari rediscovered some much-needed form to claim a share of the lead in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.

"I saved that beautiful par on 15, then after that I felt a bit better and I could accelerate, push on the accelerator and then beautiful golf shots came on the final three holes. It will be a great battle over the weekend and a pleasure to play together." "It's been a tough day of golf," said the 25-year-old, who won his third DP World Tour title in the French Open last September.
