The bunkered Golf Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

The AIG Women’s Open at St Andrews brought the curtain down on golf’s major season for 2024 – but did it also shine a light on some of the challenges the women’s realm of the sport is facing?  

Disappointing crowds, not enough media coverage, lots of retirement chatter... all were on show throughout the week and, whilst some people would gladly turn a blind eye to that, The bunkered Podcast will not. Because that’s not how you solve problems.  

On this week’s episode, Michael and Bryce discuss all the above, whilst also praising the extraordinary Lydia Ko who is, at long last, a major champ once again. 

The guys also get into the Matt Fitzpatrick driver debacle, Keegan Bradley’s playing-captain prospects, and (of course) the big Oasis reunion. No, for real.

Anthony Kim was once one of the world's most exciting, talented and recognisable young golfers. 

Between 2006 and 2012, he won multiple times on the PGA Tour, inspired the US to Ryder Cup glory, reached sixth on the world rankings, and broke records at Augusta National. 

Then he walked away without explanation. 

For 12 years, nobody knew where he was. Sightings of him were few and far between. He as good as vanished until the LIV Golf League persuaded him to return this year.  

Where has he been all this time? What convinced him to end his exile? And more to the point, what comes next? 

AK answers those questions on this week's episode of The bunkered Podcast - his FIRST major one-on-one chat on this side of the pond.  

Elsewhere, Michael and Bryce discuss Lydia Ko completing the Olympics ‘medal slam’, weigh in on the fuss caused by Trump Turnberry’s £1,000 green fee, and discuss the three golf-related items they would want with them if they were stranded on a desert island.  

It’s another bumper episode.

So, Tiger Woods has decided he doesn’t want to be the US Ryder Cup next year after all.  

The 15-time major champion has turned down the chance to lead his country at Bethpage – but why?!  

Michael and Bryce react on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.  

Elsewhere, there’s praise for Ewen Ferguson and Bernhard Langer, whilst six-time DP World Tour winner Joost Luiten joins the show to talk about taking the Dutch Olympic authorities to court last week. Spoiler alert: he won! 

Also, what makes the ultimate golf club bacon roll? Why is Alex playing 100 holes in a day? And what did Bryce’s mum tell him this week that left him stunned? 

ONE LAST THING: The bunkered Podcast will be live from the Open Campsite at Royal Troon next week. Tune in to find out how you can get on our guest list!

The best players in the world can’t stop him. The police couldn’t stop him. Even Extinction Rebellion protestors couldn’t stop him.  

So, just who can stop Scottie Scheffler? 

The world No.1 stretched his lead at the top of the OWGR with a sixth victory of 2024 at the Travelers Championship as he continues his dominant streak this year.  

However, is he benefiting from the fact that he doesn’t have to play the likes of Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka and Jon Rahm now that they (and others) are playing on the LIV Golf League?  

Michael, Bryce and Alex discuss on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast. 

Elsewhere, there’s chat about the Dutch Olympic golf debacle and the kinda weird constant swearing by LIV golfers.  

Plus, former Premier League goalscorer Peter Odemwingie joins us to chat about his decision to become a PGA professional (and reveals what it’s like to go up against Lionel Messi in the World Cup).

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...
