This week it's Masters Week! We are all very busy. Very, very, very busy people with work, family, golf, pets and more to fit in our day every day. So when will we find the time to file through all the historical stats on past Masters winners and compare them against the same statistics year to date across ALL the various professional tours, to then cross check and reference to compile a list of the best fitting golfers on the planet - statistically - who could be in with a chance of winning the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club this week?

Well you don't, as I have done it with the power of ChatGPT and AI to bring those insights and the golfer shortlist to your listening ears this week. Sit back relax, listen to the logic and the prompt and get your pens at the ready.

Welcome to this week’s episode of PaddyTalks Golf Podcast and official podcast partner of the KPMG Women’s Irish Open.

I took some time with rising star in Irish golf, Lauren Walsh who is no stranger to this podcast and known for her impressive achievements both as an amateur and a young professional. Born in County Kildare, Ireland, Walsh developed her skills early at Castlewarden Golf Club before becoming a standout player at Wake Forest University in the United States, where she earned All-American honours and contributed significantly to her team’s successes in NCAA competitions.

Walsh has represented Ireland in various international events, including the Curtis Cup and the European Ladies’ Team Championship, where she showcased her talent and leadership. She turned professional in 2023, making an immediate impact on the Ladies European Tour. Walsh is known for her consistent play, strong ball-striking, and calm demeanour on the course, which have quickly made her a player to watch in women’s golf and is a contender for Rookie of the Year honours on the Ladies European Tour. 

As Lauren makes her debut at this week’s KPMG Women’s Irish Open, Walsh has the talent and composure to be a contender, and a strong performance could further solidify her status as one of Ireland’s most promising young golfers.
