It seems to have come to that time of year, where things are being decided in the world of golf in so many areas, ultimately deciding where players compete in 2026.

This week is the final event on the Closing Swing of the DP World Tour – the Danish Golf Championship.

Leading the Swing is Scotland's Grant Forrest, winner of the recent NEXO Championship at Trump International, Aberdeen in Scotland. The leader on Sunday will receive a Swing Bonus of $200,000 plus entry to all the tournaments in the second half of the season.

Next week on the DP World Tour is the Betfred British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo – the final event for qualifying for the top 6 players for Team Europe for The Ryder Cup.

It is also the final Individual Event for LIV Golf in Indianapolis with the usual $25 million purse for the 54 holes; these numbers are seemingly becoming the norm and now do not seem to surprise us. Next week in Michigan, the Team Event will see the LIV Golf season come to a close.

It is remarkable to think that $28 million will be shared out in Bonus money in LIV Golf on Sunday in addition to the $25 million event purse, and the following week $50 million will be shared amongst the 13 teams, with $14 million to the winning team, $8 million to the runners-up and $6 million to the third team. We wonder if they are getting nervous?

On the LPGA, the Standard Portland Classic field is headlined by the likes of Nelly Korda, Minjee Lee, Lottie Woad, Jeeno Thitikul and more.

This is set to be a 144-player field played out over four days, with this event marking the LPGA's return to the Pacific Northwest.

England's Lottie Woad will be making her LPGA professional debut; she is already number 20 in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings.

Finally, there are just four remaining events on the Korn Ferry Tour. The top 75 players will compete in the Korn Ferry Championship, with four more qualifying events remaining on the calendar. Look out for our own Rayhan Thomas.
