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.

And should trans golfers, such as Hailey Davidson, be allowed to en ..read more

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? A ..read more

Why do the Brits always do so badly?

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?

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?  Tune-in now ..read more

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...  Tune-in now!  ⛳️ Chat to us on social and subscribe to the magazine for the best golf ne ..read more
