Did you know?

Bart and his older brother Brad both played on the PGA Tour and PGA Senior Tour, both notching up wins on each of the tours. In Bart's case, during a career hampered by injuries, it took 187 attempts before PGA Tour success came at the Texas Open in 2004. This was quickly followed in 2005 by further impressive wins at the Memorial Tournament and The Tour Championship. His two PGA Senior Tour wins both came at the Dick's Sporting Goods Open at En-Joie GC in New York (2013, 2018).

Bart tragically passed away aged 59 after being involved in a fatal car accident.

Tournaments

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.

Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.

Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.

The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
