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.

The stage is set for a truly thrilling Masters Sunday... and what better way to start it than by tuning in to the penultimate episode of the Masters Commute from The bunkered Podcast.
Michael and Alex break down a spectacular Saturday at Augusta National and set the scene for a potentially epic final round.
Can anybody stop Scottie Scheffler? Will Collin Morikawa complete the third leg of the career grand slam? What should we make of Tiger’s 82? How far back is too far back?
The guys discuss all of that and take your questions, too.
Sit back, relax and tune in!
Let’s go!

Well, then... that was a WILD day.
Strap in as Michael and Alex recap one of the most extraordinary second rounds in Masters history.
Michael’s eats humble pie on Tiger but mounts a stirring defence of Rory McIlroy’s caddie Harry Diamond.
There’s talk, too, about the (many) big names who won’t be around for the weekend and the guys answer your questions, too.
Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Day 1 of the 2024 Masters is in the books and, with some players still to complete their first rounds, Bryson DeChambeau leads the way by one from 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler.
Our men in Augusta, Michael and Alex, reflect on a compelling start to the tournament.
Should be surprised by Bryson’s start? What to make of Rory McIlroy’s one-under start? Is Jon Rahm’s title defence already over? Is Tiger Woods rolling back the years? And exactly HOW MUCH did Michael spend on a Masters-themed American football in the merch shop?!
It’s all here! Tune-in now!

The waiting is almost over... it’s time for the 2024 Masters to begin!
Well, whenever the rain allows it to, that is! Michael and Alex have a rather grim weather update to start today’s Masters Commute. The bad news? It’s going to be wet on Thursday. The good news? The rest of the week looks a whole lot better.
Elsewhere, there’s chat about Greg Norman’s surprise appearance at the Masters today, Fred Ridley’s extremely interesting presser, and a withering take-down of the Par-3 Contest by Mr Perry.
All that, plus a namecheck for Bob Holness. Yes, really.
