Sliced Golf Podcast

We've got another bonus episode for our subscribers and we're officially making it a series now, as we follow last week's top 20 national opens with another. This time we're asking, who are the best active players without a major championship win to their names? Yes, we do somewhat stretch the definition of active to ensure one surly Scot takes his place but where exactly does he fit in? Which current member of the elite charts highest? And which LPGA player does Ben regret not including? As ever, let us know who you think we missed and where we got our rankings wrong. Please also let us know what you'd like us to rank next.

We're back to relive some thrilling finishes across the world of professional golf at the weekend, starting with Eugenio Chacarra's one-shot win in the KLM Open where he took a big step towards realising his PGA Tour dream. JT Poston enjoyed a dream handshake with Mr Nicklaus when winning the Memorial after a gutsy recovery, while Nelly Korda denied Charley Hull her dream major breakthrough but only just, after a nervy putt on the 72nd hole at Riviera. New dad Tyrrell Hatton is back to winning ways and also gets a mention along with reports of LIV's 2027 plans including 'team majors', while we reflect on good news for the Australian Open and what that could mean for Jon Rahm. No DP World Tour golf this week means the world of golf is a bit quieter but that gives us time to get into the Canadian Open, before a tough question from a regular contributor in Highest Bidder.

We've got another bonus episode for our subscribers and it's the first in a series, if you want it to be a series, as we rank the top 20 national opens. Why does one word in the title see one event punished? How much does the course rotation influence things? What has Flory Van Donck have to do with it all? Should one of them be a major? Should two of them sit back-to-back? And, above all else, which national opens make the illustrious top five in this first ever edition of a thing we just invented? Find out by listening, make it something by sharing, and shape future episodes by commenting. See you on Monday.

The jingles are back but we say farewell to the Highest Bidder scoreboard at the end of today's episode of Sliced. Before all that, we start in Austria with a thriller in the mountains, Kota Kaneko's first DP World Tour win, positive words for two youngsters, and a what if for one Portuguese veteran. Then it's over to Colonial and a what if for Eric Cole, who looked set to win before Russell Henley putted like he did at the very start of his career and stole the Charles Schwab title. After reflecting on that we talk the latest on the PGA Tour schedule for 2027 and what it means for some great courses, plus how LIV Golf binned a key broadcast feature in Korea. This week's trip around the world of golf asks what we might expect of the KLM Open and forces us to sort of rank the Signature Events, but the star is the US Women's Open where Riviera should help draw even more viewers in.

Sliced sticks to the schedule on a Bank Holiday Monday, but there's a price: this is, we're sorry to say, a jingle-free episode. That and other technical issues aside, we're on hand to reflect on Sam's wonderful weekend away and Richard Sterne's stunning Soudal triumph, and how tough it will have been for his compatriot, Zander Lombard. We talk Wyndham Clark's putting masterclass and discuss where we are with Scottie Scheffler, before we question whether there's more than one person in the world who sees Bryson DeChambeau's PGA Tour vs YouTube dillemma as a dilemma. The proposed PGA Tour model is also covered before the world of golf this week takes us to Austria and a homecoming for Sepp Straka, while Ben notes a fun angle at Colonial where Ludvig Aberg is the star turn.

We're back a little later than usual to cover the biggest story in golf... plus Aaron Rai's PGA Championship win. Yes, that's right, Ben is the proud owner of the real Green Jacket but worry not, details of his success are brief before we crack on with congratulating Rai for an all-time great finishing burst to win at Aronimink. Course set-up complaints are considered too before we move through the rest of the world of golf, with time for Lottie Woad, a cheating story, and more. Then it's news with LIV Golf and Jon Rahm in the headlines again, before we preview the Soudal Open and the CJ Cup Byron Nelson Whatever It Is Called PGA Tour Non-Signature Event Thing.

Is it really a major if we don't really talk about it? That's the question fans of the PGA Championship must reckon with as we stick to our formula of covering last week's action and key news lines first, which means that Yurav Premlall, Chris Wood and Brandt Snedeker all earn priority status. Eventually, after analysing Jon Rahm's settlement with the DP World Tour, Bryson DeChambeau's desire to be wanted and Ian Poulter's phoney fears, we do indeed get to the second men's major of 2026 and ask what to expect from Aronimink. There's an update on our fantasy league leaderboard, a shambolic Highest Bidder, and plenty more packed into an hour.

We've a new DP World Tour champion after the Turkish Airlines Open and a future one who impressed on his first go in the mix on Sunday and that's where today's episode begins. Things were more straightforward at Doral where Cameron Young won but we suffered some Signature Event fatigue, Nelly Korda won again to keep up her phenomenal run in Mexico, and there was a major controversy on the Asian Tour. We then get to last week's big news that PIF will withdraw LIV Golf's funding at the end of this season and ask where exactly does this leave the likes of Bryson DeChambeau, before some welcome news about injured Italian golfer, Andrea Pavan. Then it's a trip around the world of golf this week, from Spain to both North and South Carolina, and a good look at the DP World Tour's fantasy game where we've a massive prize on offer.

This week's update on all things professional golf begins with a painful look back at how the China Open flipped in favour of Bernd Wiesberger at the expense of the oh-so-slow Adrian Otaegui, before Sam and Ben discuss yet another win for the Fitzpatrick family and how it all happened in New Orleans. Sam then digs into the USA's decision to give Jim Furyk another crack at Ryder Cup captaincy, Ben digs into a Ryder Cup legend, and there's talk of a massive equipment switch at a peculiar time for Justin Rose. After that and more news it's a look at the world of golf this week, particularly in Turkey and Miami, before a maddening Highest Bidder.
