Top Story: European Tour to become DP World Tour! Golf is booming and CaddiePlayer calling...

Written on 11 November 2021.

The European Tour group and DP World jointly announced a ground-breaking evolution to their long-term partnership, with DP World becoming the new title sponsor of the group’s main tour from the start of the 2022 season.

Keith Pelley, Chief Executive of the European Tour group, said:

“This announcement is undoubtedly a momentous one in the proud history of our Tour. The launch of the DP World Tour in 2022, coinciding with both of our 50th anniversaries, will herald a new era in global golf, and crucially it will benefit everybody involved – all our players, caddies, fans and partners – as well as making an important contribution to wider society.

ELEVATE THE TOUR IN EVERY WAY

· Biggest prize fund in European Tour history: Overall prize funds in 2022 will be more than US$140 million for all tournaments outside the Majors and World Golf Championships, outstripping the previous all-time pre-pandemic high of US$130 million in 2019. Including the Majors and WGCs, the total prize fund on the 2022 DP World Tour will exceed US$200 million, benefitting all tournaments and all members across all categories.

· New US$2 million minimum tournament prize fund: For the first time, every tournament solely sanctioned by the DP World Tour will have a minimum prize fund of at least US$2 million, ensuring that all members benefit from this boosted investment.

· A record US$10 million prize fund for the 2022 DP World Tour Championship: This will make the season finale – the final Rolex Series tournament of 2022 – the first European Tour event in history outside the Majors and WGCs to feature an eight-figure prize fund.

· A full and comprehensive 12 month schedule: The DP World Tour’s International Schedule for 2022 was also unveiled. It features a minimum of 47 tournaments across 27 different countries from November 2021 to November 2022.

PuttZones versus PuttGained @OmegaEuropeanMasters TSR2

Written on 01 September 2021.

Crans Montana, Home of the Omega European Masters,

What can you do when the European Tour stop at your home town and your Cousin is the Chairman of the event? You run from morning to evening and at night you end at the local pub. Helping Caddies, meeting Players, Coaches, Managers and Entrepreneurs at the end Rasmus Hojgaard + (CaddiePlayer Tom) takes out the 2021 European Masters trophy shooting a final round of 63 (-7) to finish on -14 for the tournament.

Rasmus Hojgaard Putting's data: Avg feet of putts holed 90.75 (Total 363) - (PuttGained +4.8) - (PuttZones 100%, 94.25%, 37.25%, 15.35%)

Overall my highlight was to introduce live on SwissTV the "difference" between PuttGained ( Broadie 2008) and PuttZones (Barras 2011) another approach to measure Putting Performance.

Thanks to our data insider "Matt", for the very first time we could collect the 4 days European Masters Putting data en show them to you what they looks like once converted into PuttZones breakdown. I let you appreciate and learn from it > for more click here > #PuttZones

#PuttGained is based on one distance calculation as #PuttZones is based on four breakdown ratio

My week back on the European Tour finds many London Golf Club leads however Lesbian's Athlete Ryann O'Toole wins at the Scottish open brought me the biggest joy and her brightest smile.

Written on 18 August 2021.

I met Ryann O'Toole at Evian back in 2013 sharing a practice round with at the time CaddiePlayerAnais from Switzerland. Ryann got "Intrigued" by what my role was. CaddiePlayer was just born and I was still experimenting its capabilities. She thoughts golf psychology was something I did, I told her I was a Swiss PGA coaching Online.

After Evian 2013 I saw Ryann a few time here and there on the LPGA and since the Instagram World surge start to follow her and learned about her #lesbianscandoanything gender and saw how hard she was into Fitness Training. > https://www.instagram.com/ryannotoole/

Back in June I send her a direct message as I saw her putting stats above 30 per round avg and thought you can't win above 30... I offered some assistance she proved me wrong! I assume her new Caddie Micheal Curry had a great influence. Scoring 8 under on the last round reaching all green in Regulations is outstanding. Would she had fill the CaddiePlayer Card it would have showed: SwingScore59!

“I tried to not look at the leaderboard. I tried to just trust in my caddie to guide me whether we needed to lay or get aggressive, stay patient or not.” Ryann O'Toole

My 3 weeks with the LEGENDS > The Legends Tour is where you will learn something inside the Box > The Farmfoods BritishPar3 Championship definitely an outside the Box Invitational!

Written on 08 August 2021.

I am so gratefull... I could spend 3 weeks/3 events insights (TheSeniorBritish, TheSeniorPGA, The Farmfoods BritishPAR3) to witness that reaching 50+ can be great not only for the game but for your game as well > I can guarantee you will learn more by watching the Legends than watching DeChambeau.

These Legends still have great power, great skills and most importantly great sense of friendliness as for them happy to be there still competing and most importantly sharing their knowledge with you and me with one "Moto" in mind having a good time!

Thanks to the vision of Ryan Howsam the new format rebrands Legends Tour's CEO, I felt something great is happening and most importantly you could be a part of it. > https://www.legendstour.com/

"Not only have the Legends created some of the most iconic moments in golf, but they're still competing at the highest level and all great personalities. Every Legend has a lifetime of stories to tell". Ryan Howsam Legends Tour CEO

The Farmfoods British Par3 Championship

The Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship was re-invented by Rick Cressman with the help of Sid and Legends Mark Mouland in 1998. The tiny Cromwell course at Nailcote played host and has done ever since. Rick’s back garden has produced many fantastic and memorable times. See you there next year with Rick his guests and their Caddies!
