Ben Smith
Content manager
Ben joined the GolfMagic team in September 2021, initially as a content executive.
These days, he assumes the position of content manager.
He is absolutely the man to come to for all the latest news across the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, LIV Golf, the major championships and the Ryder Cup.
At times he can also be found offering ramblings on the latest talking points in the game.
Ben achieved a gold standard NCTJ diploma at News Associates and has worked in a variety of roles in the regional and national media.
In a past life he reported on his favourite football team, Reading FC (guilty), for his local paper and was also a court reporter at the Old Bailey in London.
Ben lives and breathes golf. He is a member at Royal Ascot Golf Club in Berkshire, playing off an index of 11.6. Unfortunately that figure is only expected to rise, but he hopes not.
His favourite player to watch is Xander Schauffele, but he has a soft spot for Rory McIlroy. He is adamant Tiger Woods will win one more time before he hangs it up.
