Golf

Two standout tournaments headline this week in golf, with both the DP World Tour and the Ladies European Tour delivering high-stakes action.

The Amgen Irish Open, running from Thursday to Sunday, is one of the most anticipated stops on the DP World Tour. Set against the stunning backdrop of one of Ireland’s premier courses, this event consistently attracts a world-class field. With Ryder Cup points, Race to Dubai standings, and pride all on the line, expect fierce competition from European stalwarts and rising global stars alike. Players who can handle the unpredictable coastal weather and tricky greens will have a distinct advantage heading into the weekend.

On the Ladies European Tour, the spotlight turns to the Houston Championship, taking place from Friday to Sunday.

Then, the spotlight shifts to New Zealand v South Africa, a classic rivalry that never disappoints. The All Blacks, playing at home, will be eager to reassert their dominance following a mixed run of form. But the Springboks, known for their brutal physicality and tactical discipline, won’t back down.

This encounter is more than just about Rugby Championship points: it’s about pride, momentum, and psychological edge heading into a crucial period before the next World Cup cycle.

Expect bone-crunching tackles, strategic kicking battles, and world-class moments as these four teams continue their fierce quest for southern supremacy. It’s a must-watch morning of rugby on SuperSport.
