The bunkered Golf Podcast

Everybody’s talking about Rory McIlroy’s driver. Trouble is, not many of them are talking any sense. So, allow us to help. On this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast, Michael, James and Lewis reflect on the biggest talking point from the PGA Championship, with James providing greater insight into the testing process. He should know – as a World Long Drive professional, his driver gets tested a LOT! Elsewhere, the guys discuss Scottie Scheffler’s victory, the LIV effect on its top players, Dustin Johnson’s major struggles, and the farce of the 20 club professionals’ involvement in the second men’s major of the year. All this, plus Podder of Merit, Bare Lies, Asked & Answered, and much more besides.

And just like that, the second men’s major of the season is upon us. Michael, James and Lewis look ahead to the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, discussing Jordan Spieth’s prospects of joining Rory McIlroy in the career grand slam club; McIlroy’s own title hopes; the inevitability of Scottie Scheffler; and the most likely first-time-major-winners in the mix for the Wanamaker. Elsewhere, the guys discuss the upcoming Scottish Championship at Donald Trump’s Aberdeenshire golf course and Michael owns up to hitting his mother with a golf ball. Yes, really.

As the dust settles from his history-making win at The Masters, Rory McIlroy is probably asking himself one big question: what now?

Between 2006 and 2012, he won multiple times on the PGA Tour, inspired the US to Ryder Cup glory, reached sixth on the world rankings, and broke records at Augusta National. Then he walked away without explanation. For 12 years, nobody knew where he was. Sightings of him were few and far between. He as good as vanished until the LIV Golf League persuaded him to return this year. Where has he been all this time? What convinced him to end his exile? And more to the point, what comes next? AK answers those questions on this week's episode of The bunkered Podcast - his FIRST major one-on-one chat on this side of the pond. Elsewhere, Michael and Bryce discuss Lydia Ko completing the Olympics ‘medal slam’, weigh in on the fuss caused by Trump Turnberry’s £1,000 green fee, and discuss the three golf-related items they would want with them if they were stranded on a desert island. It’s another bumper episode.

Well, well, well. Who saw that coming! The men’s Olympic golf competition was right up there with the very best tournaments staged all year. Michael and Alex reflect on an epic week at Le Golf National. Does the format work? Would it really be better with amateurs? Could this event, in time, become as big as a major? Plus, how good is Scottie Scheffler? What now for Tommy Fleetwood? And was Jon Rahm’s collapse really one of the “biggest chokes of the year”? Michael also reflects on his recent visit to the LIV UK event at JCB Golf & Country Club, whilst Alex lives up to his reputation as bunkered’s resident Bradley Walsh.

So, Tiger Woods has decided he doesn’t want to be the US Ryder Cup next year after all. The 15-time major champion has turned down the chance to lead his country at Bethpage – but why?! Michael and Bryce react on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast. Elsewhere, there’s praise for Ewen Ferguson and Bernhard Langer, whilst six-time DP World Tour winner Joost Luiten joins the show to talk about taking the Dutch Olympic authorities to court last week. Spoiler alert: he won! Also, what makes the ultimate golf club bacon roll? Why is Alex playing 100 holes in a day? And what did Bryce’s mum tell him this week that left him stunned?

The best players in the world can’t stop him. The police couldn’t stop him. Even Extinction Rebellion protestors couldn’t stop him. So, just who can stop Scottie Scheffler? The world No.1 stretched his lead at the top of the OWGR with a sixth victory of 2024 at the Travelers Championship as he continues his dominant streak this year. However, is he benefiting from the fact that he doesn’t have to play the likes of Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm now that they (and others) are playing on the LIV Golf League? Michael, Bryce and Alex discuss on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast. Elsewhere, there’s chat about the Dutch Olympic golf debacle and the kinda weird constant swearing by LIV golfers. Plus, former Premier League goalscorer Peter Odemwingie joins us to chat about his decision to become a PGA professional (and reveals what it’s like to go up against Lionel Messi in the World Cup).

We’ve only gone and made you a very special episode of The bunkered Podcast, haven’t we? With Alex on holiday, Michael (fresh from Germany) and Bryce look back on an incredible US Open, specifically Rory’s choke and Bryson’s win. How does McIlroy bounce back from this major disappointment? Does he need a new caddie? Is he really this generation’s Greg Norman? How good was DeChambeau’s bunker shot on the 72nd hole? Plus loads more.

And just like that, the third men’s major of 2024 is upon us. Michael, Bryce and Alex look ahead to the 124th US Open, taking place this week at Pinehurst. Will the USGA get it right or (very badly) wrong with the course set-up? Can anybody – other than the police – stop Scottie Scheffler? Does Tiger have a hope of even making the cut? Is this the week Rory’s drought major ends? What the hell is Champion Ultra Dwarf? Elsewhere, there’s praise for new Hall of Famer Padraig Harrington and Michael challenges Bryce and Alex to a game of “Golf Club or Metal Band”.

Robert MacIntyre is a PGA Tour winner. The 27-year-old Scot – and three-time guest on The bunkered Podcast – stormed to victory in the RBC Canadian Open and the weekend and, well, we’re all feeling rather emotional about it. On this week’s episode, Michael, Bryce and Alex reflect on a huge week for the young Obanite, ponder what’s next for him and discuss his decision to skip the Memorial Tournament in Ohio in favour of a massive party back home in Oban. Elsewhere, there’s reaction to the US Women’s Open, whilst Beef Johnston joins us for a chat about his brand-new book Golf Is Hard. Also, Bryce almost lost a finger at the weekend. We’ll let him explain how... Alex Perry is taking on The Big Golf Race for Prostate Cancer UK next month.

On this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast, Michael and Bryce reflect on the tragic news about Grayson Murray. They discuss the two-time PGA Tour winner’s career, his successes, his challenges and what lessons can be learned from his heartbreaking decision to take his own life at only 30 years of age. Elsewhere, there’s a full US Women’s Open preview. Can Nelly Korda make it seven wins (seven!) in her last eight starts? Is Rose Zhang her most likely challenger? Are we finally seeing prize money progress? And should trans golfers, such as Hailey Davidson, be allowed to enter qualifying for these events? There’s also some chat about Bryson and a long overdue statue for one of the game’s greatest names.

Xander Schauffele is a major champion at long, long last. So often the bridesmaid in the game’s biggest events, the Californian stepped up to win the PGA Championship at Valhalla. On this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast, Michael, Bryce and Alex reflect on Schauffele’s major breakthrough and wonder where it all went right. There’s chat about Bryson’s new-found popularity, Viktor’s missed opportunity, Bob Mac’s incredible week and Scottie Scheffler’s arrest (still feels completely weird to type that). Plus, is Tiger Woods in denial? Is DJ a spent force in the majors? And what now for Rory McIlroy?

It’s PGA Championship week which means it’s time for part two of our preview. Michael, Bryce and Alex run the rule over some of the contenders for the Wanamaker, including a resurgent Rory McIlroy, new-dad Scottie Scheffler, the near-faultless Ludvig Aberg and the polarising Patrick Cantlay. Plus, have we already seen the best of the career grand slam-chasing Jordan Spieth? Why do the Brits always do so badly? And could we be in line for more Michael Block heroics? Elsewhere, there’s chat about the latest PGA Tour bombshell, as well as thoughts on Bob MacIntyre’s recent comments.

Michael, Bryce and Alex set the scene for the second men’s major of the season: the PGA Championship. Is any player under more pressure to perform at Valhalla than Talor Gooch? Does the six invites for LIV players expose a serious flaw in the world rankings? Does the PGA really have the strongest field in golf? And is Brooks Koepka the man to beat? Elsewhere, there’s chat about the TGL and the latest LIV shenanigans, as well as one of the best Honesty Boxes to date. For some reason, there’s a bit of talk about Eurovision, too. But hey, why not?

So, there we have it. PGA Tour players who ‘stayed loyal’ to the PGA Tour in the aftermath of LIV’s emergence now know how much they’re going to be rewarded with. Tiger Woods is set to receive $100m. There’s $50m for Rory McIlroy. Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas will each pocket $30m. And on and on it goes. But is this a good look for the game? Is the professional realm of the sport in danger of losing fans altogether as the incredibly rich get ludicrously richer? Michael and Alex get heated about it on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast. Elsewhere, is dominance boring? Why has Rory McIlroy returned to the PGA Tour policy board? Is LIV Adelaide the real ‘fifth major’? Plus, we welcome our youngest-ever guest to the show, with genuinely very funny consequences.

Michael, Bryce and Alex sit down to pick at the bones of the 2024 Masters Tournament. Is Scottie Scheffler boring? Why Amen Corner is the greatest stretch in golf. How many majors is Ludvig going to win? Does Rory need a new caddie? Plus so much more. Elsewhere, there’s chat about Rory’s rumoured move to LIV (what a load of nonsense) and golf’s TV trouble. The guys also play a golf version of ‘snog, marry, avoid’ and somehow end up getting Hideki Matsuyama on the Aftershocks...
