On this week’s edition of the podcast we recap a memorable WGC Dell Match Play and wonder why the PGA Tour has decided to rid it from  the schedule in 2024. It wasn’t the final the world wanted as McIlroy and Scheffler bowed out in the semis but there was no denying a worthy champion in Sam Burns. We look at how the form-lines are now trending from Austin Country Club through to next week’s Masters, while also rounding up a heap of action from around the wonderful world of golf as Leona Maguire and Steph Meadow begin to ramp up their reps on the LPGA Tour. We also get into the ball rollback discussion, reacting to USGA Commissioner Mike Whan’s strong views over the weekend that highlighted the necessity of the proposed change. As ever, we hope you enjoy the listen. Don’t forget to subscribe and let us know what you think.

On this week's podcast there was really only one show in town as Scottie Scheffler was all class in completing a dominating victory at Sawgrass. We try to pick holes in the American's armour but it proves easier said than done with the defending Masters champion in ominous form less than a month out from Augusta. We go down the leaderboard to find the other standout moments from the week at PGA Tour HQ where Shane Lowry was resolute and Rory McIlroy showed signs of fatigue. We round up all the news from elsewhere too with a strong performance from Tom McKibbin in Kenya and a big week for Maynooth at the R&A Student Series - Spain. We also round out the show reflecting on a certain Pádraig Harrington's induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame. As ever, we hope you enjoy the listen.

On this week’s edition of the podcast we look back at the Arnold Palmer Invitational where Kurt Kitayama bested an all-star leaderboard at Bay Hill. The latest designated event delivered a Sunday leaderboard that kept everyone guessing, with Rory McIlroy amongst those who came close to slipping into the famous red cardigan. We assess where McIlroy’s game is at, and also discuss his role within the PGA Tour where more change is afoot ahead of the 2024 season. We react to the proposed no-cut, limited field tournaments in the pipeline, why they’re making the changes, and where it leaves the DP World.

The man he usurped, Rory McIlroy didn’t have his best stuff in the desert but it was another big week for Seamus Power who edged closer to $10m in career-earnings on the PGA Tour.

On this week’s edition of the podcast we dive into the murky waters of golf’s splintered tours as the ongoing hearing between the DP World Tour and LIV Golf spells big changes for the men’s professional game. We also take a look at the official world golf ranking system, highlighting a lopsided distribution of points across the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour and the Asian Tour that simply can't continue. Thankfully there’s plenty of golf talk too with Justin Rose putting his hand up for Ryder Cup selection in Pebble Beach, a wild finish on the DP World Tour for Dan Gavins and also the end of an era for Shane Lowry and his caddie Brian ‘Bo’ Martin ahead of this week's $20m WM Phoenix Open.

On this week’s edition of the podcast there was only one show in town as Rory McIlroy out-duelled Patrick Reed in the desert. From Tee-Gate to Tree-Gate, Reed’s name wasn’t far from controversy all week but it was the man who sidestepped his advances on Tuesday that proved elusive once more as McIlroy captured the Dubai Desert Classic crown. We have all the talking points from a wild week in golf and look ahead to another busy week on the calendar as the Challenge Tour and MENA Tour return for Ireland’s next tier of tour stars.

On this week’s edition of the podcast we recap the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship where Pádraig Harrington led a stellar Irish challenge that ultimately fell just short in the desert. The Dubliner is eyeing a history-making victory on the DP World Tour and few would bet against him after last week’s showing. It wasn’t to be either for Shane Lowry despite a brilliant ball-striking display from tee to green. We asses Lowry’s week that came unstuck at the finish and what Séamus Power can take from his fortnight in the UAE as he returned to Vegas as focus shifts to the PGA Tour. That’s where Jon Rahm continues to dominate after cashing in at the AmEx. We look at Rahmbo's reign and also recap Leona Maguire's return to action at the LPGA’s Tournament of Champions.

On this week’s edition of the podcast we discuss Golf Ireland’s changes to its Championship Qualification criteria and also reflect on Europe’s victory over GB&I at the Hero Cup, and the implications, if any, it will have for the Ryder Cup in September. It wasn’t the week Séamus Power and Shane Lowry were hoping for but strong performances from the likes of Italian duo Francesco Molinari and Guido Migliozzi certainly give European Captain Luke Donald food for thought. Also in Abu Dhabi, Brendan Lawlor dials in to discuss his first podium finish of the new G4D year, while elsewhere it was victory for Si Woo Kim at a sub-par Sony Open and the Netflix ‘Full Swing’ trailer officially dropped ahead of the documentary’s February release.

On this week’s edition of the podcast we look back at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, and a Sunday meltdown Collin Morikawa won’t be forgetting any time soon. Kapalua produced a worthy champion in Jon Rahm who took aim at the official world golf rankings where he sits unmoved in fifth spot despite winning three of his last five starts. 2022 was an unprecedented year for Irish golf and Galway’s Liam Nolan ensured 2023 got off to a flier too with victory at the South American Amateur. We reflect on his significant win in a Walker Cup year and look ahead to this week’s Hero Cup. As ever, we hope you enjoy the listen. Don’t forget to subscribe and let us know what you think.
