The bunkered Podcast

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?  Tune in now!  ⛳️ Chat to us on social and subscribe to the magazine for the best golf news, reviews, comment and more, direct from the home of golf!              ⓣ https://twitter.com/bunkeredonline                                            ⓕ https://www.facebook.com/bunkeredonline                                          ⓨ https://www.youtube.com/bunkeredonline                                            ⓘ https://www.instagram.com/bunkeredgolfonline                                 Get the magazine every month: https://www.bunkered.co.uk/suboffer

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...  Tune-in now!   ⛳️ Chat to us on social and subscribe to the magazine for the best golf news, reviews, comment and more, direct from the home of golf!             ⓣ https://twitter.com/bunkeredonline                                           ⓕ https://www.facebook.com/bunkeredonline                                         ⓨ https://www.youtube.com/bunkeredonline                                           ⓘ https://www.instagram.com/bunkeredgolfonline                                Get the magazine every month: https://www.bunkered.co.uk/suboffer

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.

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.  Tune-in now!  ⛳️ Chat to us on social and subscribe to the magazine for the best golf news, reviews, comment and more, direct from the home of golf!           ⓣ https://twitter.com/bunkeredonline                                         ⓕ https://www.facebook.com/bunkeredonline                                       ⓨ https://www.youtube.com/bunkeredonline                                         ⓘ https://www.instagram.com/bunkeredgolfonline                              Get the magazine every month: https://www.bunkered.co.uk/suboffer

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...  Tune-in now!  ⛳️ Chat to us on social and subscribe to the magazine for the best golf news, reviews, comment and more, direct from the home of golf!          ⓣ https://twitter.com/bunkeredonline                                        ⓕ https://www.facebook.com/bunkeredonline                                      ⓨ https://www.youtube.com/bunkeredonline                                        ⓘ https://www.instagram.com/bunkeredgolfonline                             Get the magazine every month: https://www.bunkered.co.uk/suboffer
