He had to wait until Monday morning to make it official but Rory McIlroy is now a two-time PLAYERS champion.
The Irishman’s extra holes win over JJ Spaun at TPC Sawgrass makes him the first European to win the PGA Tour’s flagship event on multiple occasions, moves him ahead of Phil Mickelson on the PGA Tour Career Money List, and marks the first time that he's won twice on US soil in a calendar year prior to The Masters.
Now, all eyes are on Augusta National next month... is this finally going to be McIlroy’s moment?
Michael, James and Lewis discuss on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere, the guys discuss whether tour pros have become too soft, what the future holds for Tiger Woods after yet another injury setback, and James brings Butch Harmon into bare lies.

Hello, friends – did you miss us?
After a brief hiatus, The bunkered Podcast is back with new co-hosts, new nonsense, a new Podder of Merit but the same timeless promise: 100% opinions, 0% fluff.
This week, Michael McEwan, James Tait and Lewis Fraser discuss Sergio Garcia’s Ryder Cup prospects and weigh up whether or not the controversial Spaniard merits a place in the conversation for Bethpage.
Speaking of the Ryder Cup, Michael catches up with Paul McGinley for a blether and there’s a brand-new feature to replace Honesty Box (RIP).

Tyrrell Hatton has started 2025 in the best possible fashion by winning the Dubai Desert Classic.

Elsewhere, the guys are joined by eight-time Olympic medallist and golf nut Duncan Stewart, debate the legacy of former LIV CEO Greg Norman, and discuss the biggest myths in golf.
