Following his latest car crash, Tiger Woods' competitive future is once again in significant doubt. Is it time for the former world No.1 to walk away from golf?

Michael, James and Lewis discuss all of these points – and more – on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast. Elsewhere, there’s praise for Gary Woodland following his remarkable victory in Texas and reaction to growing speculation that the Ryder Cup could be heading to... Bolton?!

Golf is the greatest sport of all... but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect.

Elsewhere, the guys start the countdown to The Masters by picking out some players who’ve got a fight on their hands to make it to Augusta. Asked & Answered, Podder of Merit, and Golf Tenable all feature as usual, and Michael gets freaked out by something he saw near the office.

Get ready to for all the “fifth major” start to resume in earnest – it’s time for the 2026 PLAYERS Championship! On this week’s episode, Michael, James and Lewis set the scene for the 52nd edition of the PGA Tour’s flagship event. Will defending champ Rory McIlroy be fit to play?

McLaren Racing launching a new golf equipment company was not on our bingo card for this year… but here we are! The F1 giant has teased its plans to enter the world of club manufacture next month, with some exceptionally high-profile hires to its staff already having been confirmed.
