So, Tiger Woods has decided he doesn’t want to be the US Ryder Cup next year after all.
The 15-time major champion has turned down the chance to lead his country at Bethpage – but why?!
Michael and Bryce react on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere, there’s praise for Ewen Ferguson and Bernhard Langer, whilst six-time DP World Tour winner Joost Luiten joins the show to talk about taking the Dutch Olympic authorities to court last week. Spoiler alert: he won!
Also, what makes the ultimate golf club bacon roll? Why is Alex playing 100 holes in a day? And what did Bryce’s mum tell him this week that left him stunned?
ONE LAST THING: The bunkered Podcast will be live from the Open Campsite at Royal Troon next week. Tune in to find out how you can get on our guest list!

The best players in the world can’t stop him. The police couldn’t stop him. Even Extinction Rebellion protestors couldn’t stop him.
So, just who can stop Scottie Scheffler?
The world No.1 stretched his lead at the top of the OWGR with a sixth victory of 2024 at the Travelers Championship as he continues his dominant streak this year.
However, is he benefiting from the fact that he doesn’t have to play the likes of Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm now that they (and others) are playing on the LIV Golf League?
Michael, Bryce and Alex discuss on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere, there’s chat about the Dutch Olympic golf debacle and the kinda weird constant swearing by LIV golfers.
Plus, former Premier League goalscorer Peter Odemwingie joins us to chat about his decision to become a PGA professional (and reveals what it’s like to go up against Lionel Messi in the World Cup).

We’ve only gone and made you a very special episode of The bunkered Podcast, haven’t we?
With Alex on holiday, Michael (fresh from Germany) and Bryce look back on an incredible US Open, specifically Rory’s choke and Bryson’s win.
How does McIlroy bounce back from this major disappointment? Does he need a new caddie? Is he really this generation’s Greg Norman? How good was DeChambeau’s bunker shot on the 72nd hole? Plus loads more.
We tried to keep it to a tight 40 minutes, so sit back, relax and enjoy!

And just like that, the third men’s major of 2024 is upon us.
Michael, Bryce and Alex look ahead to the 124th US Open, taking place this week at Pinehurst.
Will the USGA get it right or (very badly) wrong with the course set-up? Can anybody – other than the police – stop Scottie Scheffler? Does Tiger have a hope of even making the cut? Is this the week Rory’s drought major ends? What the hell is Champion Ultra Dwarf?
Elsewhere, there’s praise for new Hall of Famer Padraig Harrington and Michael challenges Bryce and Alex to a game of “Golf Club or Metal Band”.
