Did you know?

P.B. Dye is a member of the famous Dye family of golf course designers. Following in the footsteps of his grandfather (Paul "Pink" Dye), father (Pete), mother (Alice), and brother (Perry), P.B. has been “moving dirt” for as long as he can remember. He graduated from the University of Tampa in 1980 and is fluent in Spanish.

Like his father’s creations, P.B.'s courses often include railroad ties, pot bunkers and island greens. For his signature course, he spent over 120 days on-site, climbing on the bulldozers along with his crew to build the P.B. Dye Golf Club in Ijamsville, Maryland.

Tournaments

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).

Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).

Who's Who

Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.

Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
