Martin was delighted to welcome Ian Kerr, Chairman of the Royal Portrush Open Championship Committee 2025, back into the studio to talk about the success of this year's championship. For seven glorious days in July Portrush was the golfing world's epicentre and at it's core was a very dedicated team from Royal Portrush Golf Club who delivered an event that truly showcased what Northern Ireland has to offer. We talk about the tournament, the lessons learned from 2019 and the economic value created by the event's return. 

Please note that our chat was recorded ahead of the Ryder Cup so any predictions made do not have the benefit of hindsight!
