Alistair Tait has been covering European professional and amateur golf since 1989, when he put on his best Scottish accent and persuaded a fellow Scot to give him his first job with Today’s Golfer magazine. Tait also has worked for Golf Monthly, spent 25 years as Golfweek’s senior writer in Europe and has written for practically every quality newspaper in the British Isles. When not covering golf, Tait can be found with his golf bag on his back, walking the fairways of Woburn (England) Golf Club, with his beloved Labrador Izzy, still trying to find the secret.

European Tour to PGA Tour: Try to keep up, guys - literally

4 tournaments into its new pace-of-play initiative, the European Tour has made clear that strides will be made toward faster round times. Meanwhile, the PGA Tour will try to keep pace, right after the Masters.

Finally, some hope for Ladies European Tour

With the LPGA, R&A and European Tour investing their money and expertise, Europe's female pros will get a long-awaited shot at something often taken for granted in the U.S.: a viable tour

European Tour’s big Mideast gamble pays off

Rising political tensions sharpen the focus on a 3-stop Desert Swing that begins this week in Abu Dhabi, but the greater danger for European golf would be a tour without the Middle East
