Tommy Fleetwood returns to the RBC Canadian Open this week, the scene of one of his most heartbreaking PGA Tour losses.

You may have heard that Sports Illustrated, the respected American publication, has got rid of its entire golf team, which is just the latest example of the decline in golf journalism, but just how concerned should we feel about this development?

Jon Rahm is paid a great deal of money to play for LIV Golf. Along with Bryson DeChambeau, he is the league’s biggest star. For that reason, Golfshake's Derek Clements is surprised by the Spaniard's reluctance to get involved in moves to secure the circuit's future.

The US Open returns to Shinnecock Hills - one of the most fearsome tests in the game. Scottie Scheffler has an opportunity to complete the Career Grand Slam, but who will lift the trophy? Golfshake's Derek Clements shares his thoughts.

The US Open is arguably the hardest major to win on account of the lightning-fast greens and punishing rough the field will face. It is usually won by a household name but there have been some surprising champions over the years. Here are 10 outsiders who could cause a shock.

The US Open gets under way at Shinnecock Hills on Thursday. It is a course that is sure to test the world’s best players to the limit - and perhaps beyond. Here are some likely contenders to follow.

Shinnecock Hills is one of the most fearsome US Open venues - which should make for an engaging spectacle this week. But the USGA has often been accused of pushing the difficulty too far, as Golfshake's Derek Clements explains.

As he works his way back to the form that saw him win five majors, Brooks Koepka will be relishing his return to Shinnecock Hills this week as we reflect on what happened when the championship was last staged here.

America's JJ Spaun put his Players Championship disappointment behind him in sensational style 12 months ago when he holed a 60-foot putt on the final green to win the US Open, beating Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre by two shots.

Golfshake's Derek Clements is unashamedly Scottish. That means that with a few notable exceptions when it comes to golf in particular and sport in general, his life has been filled with sporting heartbreak and disappointment.
