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?

Filming is well under way on Happy Gilmore 2.
So, on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast, Michael and Alex take a deep dive into the long-awaited sequel to the ‘90s golf caper.
Which characters are making a return? Is Rory McIlroy really going to make a cameo? When’s it out? Did Michael really have the idea for it first?
The guys discuss all of this and much more.
Elsewhere, the Presidents Cup ended with a familiar result – but was this year’s match enough of a contest to suggest there’s a future for the event?

This week, for one week only, The bunkered Podcast is bleeding black and gold.
Michael, Bryce and Alex preview the Presidents Cup, taking place at Royal Montreal Golf Club. Is this the week the Internationals finally snap their losing streak? What happens to the match if they don’t? Has the US sabotaged itself by banning LIV golfers?
Elsewhere, the guys look back on the BMW PGA Championship and another near-miss for Rory, whilst also weighing up Ian Poulter’s chances of fulfilling his dream of becoming the European Ryder Cup captain.
Plus... what’s your biggest golf ick? The guys discuss theirs (in some detail).

U-S-A! U-S-A!
Or something like that.
For the first time since 2017, the United States have won the Solheim Cup. Where did it all go right for Stacy Lewis and her star-studded side? More to the point, where did it all go wrong for a Suzann Pettersen-led Europe?
Michael and Bryce pick apart all the big talking points on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast. Spoiler alert: they HATE the captains and vice-captains dancing on the first tee...
Elsewhere, what now for Tiger after his latest surgery? How does Rory McIlroy bounce back from yet another near-miss? And which golfers would feature in our ultimate Big Brother house?
Plus don't miss our exclusive Presidents Cup competition!

It’s Solheim Cup week once again – but Europe are not going for their fourth consecutive win, right? Right?!
That’s just one of the many Very Important Questions answered on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Michael, Bryce and Alex look forward to this week’s clash at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia, taking a deep dive into each team, their captains and pretty much everything else.
Plus, is Jon Rahm really about to pass up the chance to play in the Ryder Cup? What’s the real motive behind Rory and Scottie’s match with Brooks and Bryson? And does anybody know Doja Cat’s actual name?

Rory McIlroy’s comments about wanting to play less golf next year have prompted some people to suggest that the Irishman could be about to perform the mother of all U-turns and join LIV Golf.
Is that really a possibility? Michael, Bryce and Alex discuss that prospect on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere, there’s praise for $62million man Scottie Scheffler, frustration over the FedEx Cup, a salute to Catriona Matthew and the Solheim Cup team, and an absolutely massive spider.
Plus, Twin Atlantic frontman Sam McTrusty joins us to discuss the band’s new album Meltdown – out now – as well as golf in Canada and Bob MacIntyre tattoos.

The AIG Women’s Open at St Andrews brought the curtain down on golf’s major season for 2024 – but did it also shine a light on some of the challenges the women’s realm of the sport is facing?
Disappointing crowds, not enough media coverage, lots of retirement chatter... all were on show throughout the week and, whilst some people would gladly turn a blind eye to that, The bunkered Podcast will not. Because that’s not how you solve problems.
On this week’s episode, Michael and Bryce discuss all the above, whilst also praising the extraordinary Lydia Ko who is, at long last, a major champ once again.
The guys also get into the Matt Fitzpatrick driver debacle, Keegan Bradley’s playing-captain prospects, and (of course) the big Oasis reunion. No, for real.

Anthony Kim was once one of the world's most exciting, talented and recognisable young golfers.
Between 2006 and 2012, he won multiple times on the PGA Tour, inspired the US to Ryder Cup glory, reached sixth on the world rankings, and broke records at Augusta National.
Then he walked away without explanation.
For 12 years, nobody knew where he was. Sightings of him were few and far between. He as good as vanished until the LIV Golf League persuaded him to return this year.
Where has he been all this time? What convinced him to end his exile? And more to the point, what comes next?
AK answers those questions on this week's episode of The bunkered Podcast - his FIRST major one-on-one chat on this side of the pond.
Elsewhere, Michael and Bryce discuss Lydia Ko completing the Olympics ‘medal slam’, weigh in on the fuss caused by Trump Turnberry’s £1,000 green fee, and discuss the three golf-related items they would want with them if they were stranded on a desert island.
It’s another bumper episode.

Well, well, well. Who saw that coming! The men’s Olympic golf competition was right up there with the very best tournaments staged all year.
Michael and Alex reflect on an epic week at Le Golf National.
Does the format work? Would it really be better with amateurs? Could this event, in time, become as big as a major?
Plus, how good is Scottie Scheffler? What now for Tommy Fleetwood? And was Jon Rahm’s collapse really one of the “biggest chokes of the year”?
Michael also reflects on his recent visit to the LIV UK event at JCB Golf & Country Club, whilst Alex lives up to his reputation as bunkered’s resident Bradley Walsh.
