This week's podcast is a celebration of all things DP World Tour after a magnificent ending to the season in Dubai, where Matt Fitzpatrick edged out seven-time Race to Dubai champion Rory McIlroy. We also talk two Sliced guests who are now PGA Tour members after a stunning finish for one of them, and how the HotelPlanner Tour class of 2024 proved to be outstanding. The rest of the show includes Adam Schenk winning in the Bermuda winds, a breeze around the world of golf including the RSM Classic, and unfortunate news of surgery for Justin Thomas.

This week's podcast begins with reflections on Abu Dhabi and Mexico, where Aaron Rai and Ben Griffin were the winners. So was Sami Valimaki but perhaps less so Garrick Higgo after his ruling hijinks in an event which may not live long in the memory. Speaking of LIV, their change from 54 to 72 holes takes up a chunk of our news slot along with some curious potential new team names, before we get onto the DP World Tour Championship and the end of our first season of Sliced. Like all great golf tours, the next one begins as early as Monday. Subscribe, rate, review and comment before joining us then.

James Morrison's emotional Grand Final win and Tom McKibbin's Hong Kong romp kick off our latest episode, before we get legal with the latest Phil Mickelson news. There's more from LIV Golf via Martin Kaymer's search for a new Cleek, confirmation of the International Series promotion system and Patrick Reed's take on New York crowds, before we get into Final Stage Q-School with some names to look out for. Both main tours are back this week too so we chat Abu Dhabi and Mexico's million-yard fairways, then it's onto Fantasy Picks and Highest Bidder.

With no DP World Tour or PGA Tour action this week, we take the opportunity to chat with Ryan French, the man behind Monday Q Info. He tells us about his fears over the direction the PGA Tour is heading, why weak fields create strong stories, and how the PGA Tour made him an offer he absolutely could refuse. Ryan also reveals how widespread cheating has become and asks why tours the world over are turning a blind eye, before taking on a particularly tough game of Highest Bidder.

We kick off the latest episode with reflections on Tommy Fleetwood's win in India where his putter got hot to deny Keita Nakajima, whose consolation prize is moving into the PGA Tour card slots. That's again a big focus of discussions as we enter the final week of the regular season with a big problem: several of those needing points can't even get a game. Before we get that far there are a couple of news items covered, including Sergio Garcia's Ryder Cup future and Gary Player putting the Ryder Cup right up there with the Masters as one of the worst events in golf.

We Sliced hosts begin by reflecting on very differing weekends and then it's into a Marco Penge hat-trick and why Max Greyserman shouldn't be written off as a serial loser. We discuss an aid worker winning in Australia, where there's another inspiring story among the also-rans, and dig into the Korn Ferry Tour graduates. Our news round-up begins with Tiger Woods' latest surgery and some more LIV Golf rumours, while we wonder whether Jon Rahm might rethink his schedule in 2026. Then it's a spin through this week's events including a warm welcome back to Delhi, fantasy picks, and an unsavoury Highest Bidder.

We are a tired Sliced duo this Monday but that doesn't stop us getting stuck into some Dunhill Links controversy and an impressive win for Robert MacIntyre, plus Steven Fisk's clutch finish in Jackson. LIV Golf is back in the news with a marquee signing from the world of rugby and claims that the money is secondary, and then it's on to bubble watch as things get tense on the DP World Tour.

We reflect on a remarkable Ryder Cup as Europe held on to beat USA 15-13 after a singles charge from the home side at Bethpage. There's plenty of praise for Europe, from Donald through to Aberg, plus a look at what went wrong for the USA, including how crowds stepping over the line hurt rather than helped them.

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.
