You know how people say it’s the littlest things that cause the biggest arguments? That’s s certainly the case on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Michael, James and Lewis discuss long par-3s and whether or not they’re (a) any good and (b) should be capped at a particular yardage.
Things get... feisty!
Elsewhere, the guys discuss Scottie Scheffler and his major ceiling. How many majors will he finish his career with.
All that, plus James tells us about the time he – and we quote - “almost killed Paula Creamer”. Or did he?

The murky world of sponsors invites is back in the spotlight following the decision to grant Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Matt Kuchar and Brandt Snedeker places in this week’s Memorial Tournament.
Should there be tighter restrictions on who sponsors are allowed to give exemptions to? Should they even be given that luxury at all? Michael, James and Lewis discuss that on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere, Steve Rider joins us to discuss the halcyon days of BBC Sport as well as his own, relatively recent prostate cancer diagnosis. He wants all men to get themselves checked and so do we.
Plus, why are we talking about ordained monks?!

Everybody’s talking about Rory McIlroy’s driver. Trouble is, not many of them are talking any sense. So, allow us to help.
On this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast, Michael, James and Lewis reflect on the biggest talking point from the PGA Championship, with James providing greater insight into the testing process. He should know – as a World Long Drive professional, his driver gets tested a LOT!

Michael, James and Lewis look ahead to the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, discussing Jordan Spieth’s prospects of joining Rory McIlroy in the career grand slam club; McIlroy’s own title hopes; the inevitability of Scottie Scheffler; and the most likely first-time-major-winners in the mix for the Wanamaker.

Rory McIlroy stands on the threshold of sporting history and golf immortality.
The Irishman, chasing a Masters victory to become only the sixth golfer to complete the career grand slam, takes a two-shot lead into the final round at Augusta National.
Chasing him down? The man who pipped him to the post for the US Open just ten months ago, Bryson DeChambeau.
It’s going to be an epic Sunday here in Georgia and, to set the scene, Michael is joined by Evin Priest of Golf Digest.
Expect emotion, expect anticipation, and expect beer!
If this doesn’t get you amped for the final round of the 89th Masters, nothing will.
Let’s have a day!
