Talk Birdie To Me

Ep46: Why Players Dislike the Australian Open. Latest on PGA/LIV. What is Tigers Next Move?


Listen Later

Welcome to 2024, and there is already plenty to discuss. We kick off with great news about 'Nick O'Who' and the evolution from a lefty to a righty.


We pick up where we left off, with an update on the PGA / LIV 'agreement to agree'. Has there been developments, are they talking, where could it end up? Nick and Mark discuss, and kick around the comments from Rory McIllroy a couple of weeks ago. There are huge complications and details to work through, and we put it up on the blocks.


Big news a week or so ago with Tiger leaving Nike, not a surprise to anyone, but his next move will be interesting (and lucrative).


Top 5 this week, first of the year, is Mark Allen's Top 5 Australian Open venues. A tough one to fit into 5, but hard calls had to be made.


Onto the Australian Open. Mark is worried about where it's heading, and suggests that neither Victoria or New South Wales want the Open in 2024, but Western Australian do. Nick would love to see it in Perth, specifically at Mount Lawley. Mark and Nick agree that there are fundamental problems with the format and the players do not like it at all. Nick and Mark discuss some possible solutions.


Some feedback this week from the summer break, and a couple of questions for the guys. Keep them coming in, we love your questions, comments, feedback.


One of our mot popular segments last year was the PING global results with Nick, and it returns for 2024 - with lots to run through!


And a great masterclass this week on pre-shot routines on the putting green from Nick O'Hern.


Thanks for being back in 2024 , look forward to a big year with you!
