On this week’s episode of the award-winning bunkered podcast, Michael and Bryce react to shock claims made about Phil Mickelson’s gambling by the six-time major champ’s former associate Billy Walters.
Do these claims expose a vulnerability in the sport? How will they impact Phil’s legacy? Was Rory McIlroy’s response to the rumours right on or out of order? The guys get into it all.
Elsewhere, Ian Woosnam joins the show to preview next month’s Ryder Cup and look back at his winning captaincy in 2006, whilst there’s also chat about the new DP World Tour schedule, Lilia Vu’s AIG Women’s Open victory and Lucas Glover’s Ryder Cup prospects.

The PGA Tour is back in the spotlight this week. Hot on the heels of announcing its radically different schedule for 2024 – which includes a record $25m bonus payment for the FedEx Cup winner – one of its longest-serving and most influential executives quit.
This came just days after it was announced that Tiger Woods had accepted a new role as a Player Director.
Considering everything that’s going on, it’s reasonable to ask: is the PGA Tour in turmoil?
Michael McEwan and Alex Perry get into that on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.
Elsewhere, the guys preview the AIG Women’s Open, share their thoughts on the R&A’s new pet project Golf It!, salute Bryson DeChambeau for his 58.
Plus, Michael makes an extraordinary admission about starters...

Another Open Championship is in the books – and let’s be honest, it wasn’t a classic.
On this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast, Michael and Bryce reflect on the ‘Walkover on the Wirral’, where Brian Harman romped to his first major title.
Is the new champ getting the respect he deserves? If not, why not? Did the R&A make a blunder with the course set-up? What was with the unruly behaviour from the crowds? What next for Rory? The guys get into all of this and more.
There’s also a look ahead to this week’s Evian Championship, which a surprise name has chosen to skip, as well as an early preview of how the Ryder Cup teams are shaping up and a major Podder Of Merit development...

Brian Harman has one hand on the Claret Jug... but will he seal the deal and become just the third left-hander to win The Open?
Michael McEwan and Alex Perry are joined by Sky Sports’ Jamie Weir to discuss the surprise runaway leader at Royal Liverpool.
There’s also chat about what looks like being yet another major near-miss for Rory McIlroy, a simply phenomenal third round from Masters champion Jon Rahm, and a scintillating performance from Fitzpatrick... Alex, not Matt.
Tune in now to get warmed up for one of the great Sundays on the sporting calendar.

Well, that was a fun first day!
Round one of The 151st Open is in the books. We had low scores, high scores and pretty much everything in between on Thursday at Royal Liverpool.
Michael and Alex are joined by Golf Digest’s Luke Kerr Dineen to chat about amateur Christo Lamprecht’s stunning start, Tommy Fleetwood’s title prospects, and Rory McIlroy’s challenging (but ultimately satisfying) opening salvo.
The guys also discuss another horror day at the office for Justin Thomas as well as some extraordinary comments made by Ernie Els after his first round.

Ahead of the first round of The 151st Open at Royal Liverpool, Michael McEwan and Alex Perry reflect on a busy last day of practice on the Wirral.
There’s analysis of a story-packed press conference with Martin Slumbers, the chief executive of the R&A, including chat around Just Stop Oil, prize money and The Open’s position on both Royal Porthcawl and Turnberry.
The guys also respond to remarkable comments made about the new 17th at Royal Liverpool by top coach Pete Cowen - genuinely wild - and debate the weird things that spectators at golf events do, say and wear.
