The bunkered Golf Podcast

Not for the first time, the Old Course at St Andrews is set to undergo a raft of changes ahead of The Open's return to golf's hometown in 2027 - but is this a case of evolution or revolution? At what point (if ever) does the course drift too far from its original look and feel? 
Michael, James and Lewis discuss on this week's episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere, the guys set the record straight about clickbait, misquoting and that whole Graeme McDowell thing; could a LIV player ever really be Ryder Cup captain; Gary Player's three "greatest players of all time"; and there is a genuinely laugh-out-loud funny - not to mention surreal - addition to the Hole In None Club.

With news that Good Good is to sponsor an upcoming PGA Tour event, is this a glimpse into a YouTube-first future for golf?
Michael, James and Lewis discuss that prospect on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere…What was Jason Day thinking going with only 13 clubs in his bag last week? What is Hallowe’en like in St Andrews? And there’s a hugely emotional addition to the Hole In None Club. You’re going to want to tune in just for that.

Oh. Dear. Tiger Woods has been forced to undergo yet MORE back surgery that looks set to prolong his latest spell on the sidelines.
The 15-time major champion hasn’t played a competitive round of golf on the PGA Tour since Friday of the 2024 Open Championship - and who knows when the next one might be.
So, we have to ask the question… is this finally the end of the road for the former world No.1? Has the time come to call it quits and put his health first?
Michael, James and Lewis debate that on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere, Lewis has won a trophy, there are new additions to the Hole In None Club, and Michael has probably ruined Keita Nakajima’s week…

Europe stands on the brink of Ryder Cup glory after opening up a historic advantage over the US on Day 2 at Bethpage.

Well, now. We’ve got something rather special for you today.
Here to run the rule over the 2025 Ryder Cup Opening Ceremony is none other than… Mr Alex Perry!
Alex joins Michael at Bethpage to reflect on how both captains - Luke Donald and Keegan Bradley - fared at the Opening Ceremony.
Did Luke make the right call with his money digs? How badly did Keegan blunder with his Justin Rose / Justin Leonard faux-pas?
The guys discuss all of that and more on today’s ep.

It’s another huge week in golf which means it’s time for another series of ‘Commutes’ from The bunkered Podcast.
Michael McEwan is in New York state for this week’s Ryder Cup match at Bethpage and, on today’s episode, he’s joined by bunkered’s senior writer Ben Parsons to discuss their early impressions of the golf course and the surrounding set-up.
The guys also get into the biggest talking point of the week so far: the $500k payments to each American player and their captain Keegan Bradley. Is this, as Ben puts it, an “unfathomable mistake” for the hosts to have made?
Tune-in now and every day this week!

It’s that time again! The 44th Ryder Cup is almost upon us - but who’s going to leave Bethpage with the trophy?
Michael, James and Lewis discuss that and much more on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
As well as picking a winner, the guys also try to predict who some of the pairings may be and weigh up exactly just how abusive the home fans might be.
Elsewhere, Michael has launched the Hole In None Club and there’s a chance to win limited-edition clothing from Under Armour.
