Sliced Golf Podcast

Ben and Sam reflect on a dramatic US Open where JJ Spaun finished birdie-birdie to beat Robert MacIntyre by two. They go through all of the contenders and wonder whether Adam Scott's chance to double his tally has been and gone, while there's also discussion of Oakmont and the challenge it presented throughout the week. Among the non-contenders the pair chat Rory McIlroy and Wyndham Clark, Ben presents a Signature Event solution, and Sam reveals a Novak nugget plus what his favourite Danish lefty was up to last week.

Ben and Sam are on hand to preview the US Open from Oakmont Country Club, considered by many to be the toughest golf course in America. The trouble is, this is Sliced, and that means more than just the highest level of men's professional golf, so it does take our duo a good half an hour to get onto all the important business of winning a major championship. Before then it's Ryan Fox, TV coverage, Connor Syme, LIV merch out in the wild, and sleep deprivation.

Ben and Sam are joined by former PGA Tour player Roberto Castro to hear about his experience of Quail Hollow, which hosts this week's PGA Championship, and some of the biggest issues in golf including the rollback debate. Roberto also offers his take on the key storylines for the second major of the year and explains why the course so heavily favours bigger hitters, while before that there's time to find out about his work for CapTech Consulting including on the TGL.

Ben and Sam are back to their regularly scheduled broadcasting to reflect on a dominant win for Scottie Scheffler, and some impressive perspective from Erik van Rooyen.

Highest Bidder is a nail-biter, too...

Ben and Sam are joined by professional golf's newest retiree, Mike Lorenzo-Vera, to hear what brought him to the decision to walk away from life on tour.

Ben and Sam begin episode 17 of Sliced with a recap of Marco Penge's breakthrough win, although with no TV pictures it's difficult to know exactly how it happened. There's also a look back on the first women's major of the year and a dramatic if manufactured ending, followed by the latest golf news including a new app from a two-time major champion. After that there's time for your questions and Highest Bidder, but between those two segments Sam also reveals who won our first ever competition.
