Early childhood moulding: Bennett Scheffler is less than three months old and already a cosmopolitan. Because dad Scottie and mum Meredith have been taking their little boy, who was born on 8 May, with them almost everywhere ever since. Even to the Olympic Games 2024. Baby Bennett has been to the Louvre and made the Mona Lisa smile a little more, strolled along the banks of the Seine with his parents, watched the Olympic table tennis tournament and witnessed the Olympic comeback of exceptional gymnast Simone Biles. In short: an American in Paris.
“It felt like we only saw a tenth of the museum. We were there for two hours, but I could have spent days looking at all the old paintings and reading the descriptions. I can get very interested in this kind of thing: The talent of the artists is absolutely stunning – and just great that their work has made it through time and survived.”
Speaking of which, a lot of the golfing Olympians used the free time between the play-in rounds for excursions and visits to other sporting venues. Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy, for example, watched Rafael Nadal’s doubles appearance with Carlos Alcaraz, presumably the last appearance of the Spanish tennis hero and 14-time French Open winner at Stade Roland Garros; and in view of the snapshot from the stands, we can only hope that the expression on McIlroy’s wife Erica’s face is merely due to the snapshot. Hey guys, you’re in the city of love.

When designing new releases, Under Armour works closely with its athletes to incorporate their feedback to create performance solutions that meet and exceed their needs. With high-tech hoodies, jackets, and sweaters, this new line offers simple and clean styles that will keep golfers warm during early-morning tee times, while providing lightweight polos and tees to keep them cool as they grind through the hottest rounds.
Under Armour designer: “This accessible collection appeals to golfers of all levels and style preferences”
John O’Connor, Designer, Apparel Graphics at Under Armour: “The sport of golf has evolved tremendously so we knew we needed to evolve with it. We’re excited to bring The Goin’ Under Collection to life and offer bold options for golfers who want to stand out on the course.

With both male and female golfers in mind, the Goin’ Under Collection features an assortment of polos, tees, skirts and shoes that has golfers covered from head to toe and perfectly complement some of Under Armour’s innovations. This includes Under Armour favorites like the UA Drive Goin’ Under Polo, a modern take on the signature Playoff Polo with a sport bomber collar paired with an abstract course camo print that golfers can dress with the beloved Men’s UA Drive Joggers. The UA Icon Fleece Goin’ Under Crew is fitted to layer with other pieces from the collection and pairs perfectly with the UA Empower Skort, flexible and lightweight to help female golfers feel comfortable with every swing. With a nod to one of the most iconic cinematic references in golf, the collection’s gopher mascot is also displayed across a couple of different tees and hats – perfect for the golfer ready to crush course records and stand out from the pack.

Shoes for all course conditions
The collection also features Phantom Footwear, which was launched as a hero style earlier this season and combines the comfort of a training shoe with the traction and knit upper of a golf shoe. Prompted by the growing popularity of golf, UA took the footwear that players usually wear off the course and used it as the inspiration for creating a golf shoe. The waterproof membrane uppers keep golfers’ feet dry, and ground-hugging traction helps them play through any course conditions.
With bold prints, modern twists, and detailed designs, all eyes will be on golfers when they suit up in the UA Goin’ Under Golf Collection this season. The collection is now live on UA.com and can be found in select UA Brand Houses. Text: Under Armour
Bernhard Langer at the Senior British Open. (Image: Getty)
The US-magazine Golf Digest reported yesterday on the golf cart situation involving five golfers – including Bernhard Langer – at the Senior British Open. In addition to Bernhard Langer, John Daly, Vijay Singh, Tim Herron and Paul Broadhurst also asked for permission to drive a golf cart. All five golfers gave various forms of physical problems as the reason. In the case of Langer, it is known that he is still suffering from pain after tearing his Achilles tendon at the beginning of the year. Of the five requests, only one was ultimately approved by the tournament organizers, that of Tim Herron. The result even led to John Daly withdrawing from the tournament.
Senior British Open: Englishman has to walk despite arthritis
In a statement quoted in the Golf Digest article, the tournament committee explains its procedure as follows: “As per the championship’s rules and terms of entry and participation, competitors can request use of motorized transportation on or before the closing date for entries. The championship committee received five applications which were carefully considered before one was granted to Tim Herron.” According to the article in the sports magazine, the four seniors did not receive a permit because they had competed in at least one tournament on foot within the last year and are therefore classified as fit. Note: The rules for senior tournaments vary depending on the organizer; in this case, the aforementioned rule was the deciding factor. This means that Paul Broadhurst, who is currently suffering from chronic inflammation in his right ankle (arthritis), must also play the Carnoustie Golf Links on foot. Paul Broahurst: “It’s tough. It’s severe arthritis. It is bone on bone. It’s an operation and a year out probably and no guarantee that I’ll be able to play to this level. So I’ve made a decision that if I can get through next season, I will probably call it a day. Monday was the first time I’d walked on a golf course in a year.” The Englishman was also surprised by the decision of the R&A and European Legends Tour, the tournament organizers.

Differences depending on the organizer
On the Champions Tour and at the USGA Senior Championship, however, Broadhurst received permission to drive due to the Americans with Disabilities Act. Nevertheless, he has to walk the rest of the tournament in Carnoustie. The 58-year-old uses a walking stick to help him.
