Niall Horan might have performed on stages around the world a decade ago, belting out hits like 'More Than This' in front of thousands of One Direction fans, but surely he had no idea how such a sentiment would affect his future. 'More Than This' is exactly what he is delivering for golf – a game he admits to being obsessed with.

Today’s announcement that the European Tour, LPGA Tour, and Ladies European Tour (LET) will join forces for an innovative mixed tournament at the ISPS HANDA World Invitational is an enormous success for all involved. It will be presented by Modest! Golf Management, and will be hosted by Galgorm, in Northern Ireland, from July 28 – August 1.
