Sam and Ben preview their first Ryder Cup since the launch of Sliced and, in the interests of balance, they've invited along an American to chat captains, players, course, pairings and more. That American is No Laying Up's Tron Carter, who might be even more pro-Europe than the presenters. Find out why he thinks they'll win, and how he gets on in Highest Bidder...

Sam and Ben are joined by Sir Nick Faldo, who offers his view on the Ryder Cup, Europe's experienced side and the depth they now have, and what it'll be like in front of big crowds at Bethpage. Sir Nick also talks the British Masters, an event he hosts, and reveals that a new sponsor is lined up for 2026, plus there's time to wonder 'what if?' Rory McIlroy hadn't won the Masters on that famous Sunday in April. We hear about some of his Masters and major memories, how fixing a weakness is key to achieving your potential, and what he'd change to improve the sport he loves.

It's a geek week as Sam and Ben get into the weeds of the DP World Tour membership criteria and schedule changes for 2026. Before that, Alex Noren's Wentworth win and a rinse and repeat from Scottie Scheffler are discussed along with Charley Hull's win on the LPGA Tour. Finally, it's off to France this week, there's news of an upcoming bonus, and Highest Bidder kicks off our Ryder Cup countdown.

Sam and Ben reflect on another moment of brilliance in a remarkable year for Rory McIlroy, following Sunday's Irish Open showstopper. Then the DP World Tour hogs the limelight again with the BMW PGA Championship, which we preview along with a word on the battle for 2026 status, but Alex Bjork doesn't want any of that as he calls it a day. Sergio Garcia's Ryder Cup 'snub' chat has our duo puzzled, and that's very much the word to describe Highest Bidder, while there's time too for Walker Cup, Charley Hull, and the return of the PGA Tour.

Sam is back from Greece and ready to get stuck into Europe's predictable Ryder Cup picks, plus Keegan Bradley's decision not to pick himself. That comes after a look back on a painful finish to the European Masters for Ben, while Sam has a positive word for a Danish veteran who has worked his way back to form as the season nears its end with limited chances left. Category 12 comes up again before we move on to the Irish Open and a suitably-themed Highest Bidder.

Sliced goes on (DP World) Tour for the very first time as Ben and Sam plug the final summer holiday gap with their day at the Belfry. Hear from Martin Couvra on a fine rookie campaign, Ross Fisher on what it's like battling for your card, and Matt Wallace on why he heads to Crans still believing in his Ryder Cup dream. Nathan Kimsey talks Bryson plus our duo get a taste of the caddie life by hauling the bags of Callum Tarren and Laurie Canter down the first hole of the Brabazon Course.

Ben is back from Paris where he (sort of) crossed paths with a Sky Sports golf presenter, and Sam is ready to challenge his Ryder Cup wild card views. That comes after praise for Penge following another fine win, likewise for Scottie Scheffler as the pair ask whether he's intimidating to play against. LIV Golf's finale gets a mention along with the latest golf news, before it's on to this week's British Masters and the FedExCup finale. Finally, Highest Bidder: Revamped hits the airwaves.

It's the week of the Danish Golf Championship so who better to join the list of Sliced guests than Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, the rising star of Danish golf. He tells us why he might just know a thing or two about the new course being used for the event, but before that we cover the Ryder Cup, Team Cup, Danish golf, his experienced caddie, his friends on Tour, and what he learned at college where he overlapped with Viktor Hovland.

Ben and Sam are back to update you all on the important stuff: how Sam's game is suited to links golf, how Ben's was somewhat ruined by bad behaviour. Then it's onto the Wyndham and an emphatic breakthrough for Cam Young, a look at some FedExCup failures, and a disappointing effort from the DP World Tour graduates. Charley Hull's runner-up finish in the Women's Open is followed by her dream four-ball, before that theme spills over into the Nexo Championship. We also cover the FedEx St Jude Championship, news of Jordan Spieth's resurrection, and more.

Ben is on hand to offer apologies and thanks on behalf of him and Sam, who are taking their first week off since Sliced was launched seven months ago. They'll be back to preview the Nexo Championship on the DP World Tour, the beginning of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Playoffs, and reflect on the Women's Open, at the usual time next week.
