Marco Penge has won for the 3rd time on the DP World Tour after the Open de Espana last week, and we briefly look back at his career over the past 12 months.

Tiger Woods has had his 7th back surgery and we think it's time everyone accepts he's never going to play competitive golf again.

It's a big week for Conor Purcell & Max Kennedy as both are fighting for their DP World Tour cards for the 2026 season.

Bob MacIntyre wins the Dunhill Links Pro-Am and we ask the question is he the greatest Scottish Pro golfer?

Also, which is a better event to win the Pebble Beach Pro-Am or the Dunhill?

LIV Golf has published their accounts for 2024 and it is literally losing billions of dollars since it launched in 2021.

Jonny & Michael reflect on how the PGA Tour Playoffs have been going so far and why they haven't captured our attention as much as they should.

We also look at the prospective European and American Ryder Cup teams and debate whether Keegan Bradley should be a playing captain and ask the question, is it a good thing for Team USA if he does play?
