A NEW LEADER. ONE POINT IN IT. THE RACE IS ON!

Nine events into the GBT2026 Tour and the Order of Merit has taken another twist.

🔥 Daniel Crawford has made another huge move, climbing 11 places to reclaim the top spot with 151 points.

And look how tight it is...

🥇 Daniel Crawford – 151 pts
🥈 Matt Watts – 150 pts
🥉 Steve Sewell – 148 pts
4️⃣ Steve Critchley – 144 pts
5️⃣ Martin Rayner – 141 pts

Just ONE POINT separates Daniel and Matt at the top, while only SEVEN POINTS cover the Top 4.

This season is going right down to the wire. 👀

Daniel has made his opportunities count, reaching the summit after only five appearances, while Matt and Steve Sewell continue to pile on the pressure.

And there are still opportunities for the chasing pack.

WORLD RECORD. ONE OF OUR OWN.

Every now and again, a challenge comes along that makes you stop and think...

"Could anyone actually do that?"

Our very own Danny Woods, GBT Tour member and previous GBT Finalist, is about to attempt one of the toughest golfing world records ever attempted.

⛳ 24 HOURS OF NON-STOP GOLF

His target?

🏌️ Beat the current Guinness World Record of 425 holes in 24 hours.

That means...

• Playing around **18 holes every hour**
• Walking over **6,000 yards again... and again... and again**
• Around **2,400 golf swings**
• Burning close to **18,000 calories**
• Battling fatigue, weather, blisters and exhaustion.

He's doing it all for an incredible cause...

❤️ The Veterans Foundation

This isn't just a round of golf.
It's a test of determination, endurance and mental strength unlike anything most golfers will ever experience.

📅 Monday 23rd August - Pike Fold Golf Club

Everyone at GBT is incredibly proud to call Danny part of our community.
