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”.

Robert MacIntyre is a PGA Tour winner.
The 27-year-old Scot – and three-time guest on The bunkered Podcast – stormed to victory in the RBC Canadian Open and the weekend and, well, we’re all feeling rather emotional about it.
On this week’s episode, Michael, Bryce and Alex reflect on a huge week for the young Obanite, ponder what’s next for him and discuss his decision to skip the Memorial Tournament in Ohio in favour of a massive party back home in Oban.
Elsewhere, there’s reaction to the US Women’s Open, whilst Beef Johnston joins us for a chat about his brand-new book Golf Is Hard.
Also, Bryce almost lost a finger at the weekend. We’ll let him explain how...

On this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast, Michael and Bryce reflect on the tragic news about Grayson Murray.
They discuss the two-time PGA Tour winner’s career, his successes, his challenges and what lessons can be learned from his heartbreaking decision to take his own life at only 30 years of age.
Elsewhere, there’s a full US Women’s Open preview. Can Nelly Korda make it seven wins (seven!) in her last eight starts? Is Rose Zhang her most likely challenger? Are we finally seeing prize money progress? And should trans golfers, such as Hailey Davidson, be allowed to enter qualifying for these events?
There’s also some chat about Bryson and a long overdue statue for one of the game’s greatest names.

Xander Schauffele is a major champion at long, long last.
So often the bridesmaid in the game’s biggest events, the Californian stepped up to win the PGA Championship at Valhalla.
On this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast, Michael, Bryce and Alex reflect on Schauffele’s major breakthrough and wonder where it all went right.
There’s chat about Bryson’s new-found popularity, Viktor’s missed opportunity, Bob Mac’s incredible week and Scottie Scheffler’s arrest (still feels completely weird to type that).
Plus, is Tiger Woods in denial? Is DJ a spent force in the majors? And what now for Rory McIlroy?

It’s PGA Championship week which means it’s time for part two of our preview.
Michael, Bryce and Alex run the rule over some of the contenders for the Wanamaker, including a resurgent Rory McIlroy, new-dad Scottie Scheffler, the near-faultless Ludvig Aberg and the polarising Patrick Cantlay.
Plus, have we already seen the best of the career grand slam-chasing Jordan Spieth? Why do the Brits always do so badly? And could we be in line for more Michael Block heroics?
Elsewhere, there’s chat about the latest PGA Tour bombshell, as well as thoughts on Bob MacIntyre’s recent comments.
As if all that wasn’t enough, there’s also a chance to win a brand-new Callaway driver as The bunkered Podcast hits a major milestone...

Michael, Bryce and Alex set the scene for the second men’s major of the season: the PGA Championship.
Is any player under more pressure to perform at Valhalla than Talor Gooch? Does the six invites for LIV players expose a serious flaw in the world rankings? Does the PGA really have the strongest field in golf? And is Brooks Koepka the man to beat?
Elsewhere, there’s chat about the TGL and the latest LIV shenanigans, as well as one of the best Honesty Boxes to date.
For some reason, there’s a bit of talk about Eurovision, too. But hey, why not?

So, there we have it. PGA Tour players who ‘stayed loyal’ to the PGA Tour in the aftermath of LIV’s emergence now know how much they’re going to be rewarded with. Tiger Woods is set to receive $100m. There’s $50m for Rory McIlroy. Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas will each pocket $30m. And on and on it goes.
But is this a good look for the game? Is the professional realm of the sport in danger of losing fans altogether as the incredibly rich get ludicrously richer?
Michael and Alex get heated about it on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere, is dominance boring? Why has Rory McIlroy returned to the PGA Tour policy board? Is LIV Adelaide the real ‘fifth major’?
Plus, we welcome our youngest-ever guest to the show, with genuinely very funny consequences.

Michael, Bryce and Alex sit down to pick at the bones of the 2024 Masters Tournament.
Is Scottie Scheffler boring? Why Amen Corner is the greatest stretch in golf. How many majors is Ludvig going to win? Does Rory need a new caddie? Plus so much more.
Elsewhere, there’s chat about Rory’s rumoured move to LIV (what a load of nonsense) and golf’s TV trouble.
The guys also play a golf version of ‘snog, marry, avoid’ and somehow end up getting Hideki Matsuyama on the Aftershocks...

And just like that, it’s over!
Scottie Scheffler is the 2024 Masters champion.
In their final commute from Augusta National, Michael and Alex reflect on the world No.1’s dominant final round performance, Ludvig Aberg’s spectacular major debut, Collin Morikawa’s final round hiccup, and much more besides.
Consider this the Sun Day Pod, if you will.
