This Week In Golf: Jonny Leighfield’s weekly look at the biggest stories in professional golf, tournament previews and other key details you need to know.
Although many of the major professional circuits are taking a brief respite until 2026, the DP World Tour has one final stop before a mini hiatus and a handful of the PGA Tour’s best are going head-to-head in the latest primetime TV event.
Plus, tour cards are on the line in the women’s game and a family favorite tournament takes its annual slot in the schedule.
Not only is there enough to maintain our golfing fix coming up, but there have already been a few fascinating stories to catch up on. Below, I’ve picked out some of the most interesting narratives from across the world of professional golf this week.

On Wednesday night between 7pm and 11pm ET, Team Scottie Scheffler is taking on Team Rory McIlroy in the inaugural Optum Golf Channel Games.
Two teams of four will do battle at Trump National Golf Club Jupiter, competing in five different challenges designed to test each pro’s skills in a variety of different ways.
It is being broadcast live on Golf Channel and USA Network with familiar voices such as Johnson Wagner and Smylie Kaufman being joined by PGA Tour pro Keith Mitchell and US President Donald Trump’s granddaughter Kai Trump.

The PNC Championship takes place at Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando this weekend, continuing an awesome few days of golf in Florida.
Bernhard Langer and his son Jason are back to defend their title, but there will not be a repeat of last year’s thrilling playoff due to Tiger Woods and Charlie not being in the field. The 15-time Major winner is continuing to recover from surgery and only recently started chipping and putting again.
Nevertheless, plenty of world-class names are gearing up to try and dethrone the German pair including Annika Sorenstam and son Will McGee, Nelly Korda and her dad Petr plus Lee Trevino and his son Daniel.
