Wednesday Nov 20, 2024

So, it looks like the 12 players who make the US team for next year’s Ryder Cup team will each be paid a share of $4million to take part.

So, what now for Tiger Woods?
Monday Nov 04, 2024
Monday Nov 04, 2024
As 2024 inches towards a close, it has been another miserable year for 15-time major champion Tiger Woods. So, what does 2025 have in store for him?
Michael, Bryce and Alex debate that on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
How often will he play? Will he be tempted to join the Champions Tour when he turns 50 in December ‘25? Will TGL be a help or a hindrance to him? Will he (whisper it) call it a day?
Elsewhere, the guys discuss proposed changes to the PGA Tour, reports that a billion-dollar peace deal to finally unite the men’s game is on the table, and much more.

Tuesday Oct 29, 2024
It’s that time of year when playing privileges for next season are decided – and, for many of the game’s best-known pros, it’s shaping up to be a worrying few months.
On this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast, Michael and Bryce reflect on the end of the regular DP World Tour season where Eddie Pepperell, Oliver Wilson and David Law were amongst those who lost their cards. What now for those players? And what kind of season has it been for the DP World Tour?
Speaking of Q-School, LIV Golf has announced details of a big change to its Promotions event – and its critics are loving it.
Plus, the latest on the Hailey Davidson saga and how to deal with people you catch cheating.

Dogs, the Dunhill, swearing and statues
Monday Oct 07, 2024
Monday Oct 07, 2024
The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship created no shortage of talking points.
Should dogs be allowed on golf courses? Does Bob Mac have a point about the 17th at St Andrews needing blown up? Is his (and others') swearing getting out of control? Is Bryce responsible for the new Old Tom Morris statue in St Andrews? And, oh yeah... what should we make of Jay Monahan and Yasir Al Rumayyan playing golf together?
Michael, Bryce and Alex discuss all of those points on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere, there’s chat about a golf course closing to visitors next summer, as well as an explainer of the new ‘winter rules’ and a return of 'Sadie Says'. Can a six-year-old outsmart Bryce and Alex?
