Sliced Golf Podcast

This week's update on all things professional golf begins with a painful look back at how the China Open flipped in favour of Bernd Wiesberger at the expense of the oh-so-slow Adrian Otaegui, before Sam and Ben discuss yet another win for the Fitzpatrick family and how it all happened in New Orleans. Sam then digs into the USA's decision to give Jim Furyk another crack at Ryder Cup captaincy, Ben digs into a Ryder Cup legend, and there's talk of a massive equipment switch at a peculiar time for Justin Rose. After that and more news it's a look at the world of golf this week, particularly in Turkey and Miami, before a maddening Highest Bidder.

Fitz at the double, formidable Green, what next for LIV Golf after funding issues emerge
Since last week's episode the world of golf news has been dominated once again by LIV Golf, and we're on hand to provide a timeline, the key facts and speculation, and ask what next as reports suggest PIF will pull the plug. Before that there's ample time to talk about Matt Fitzpatrick's second Harbour Town win in the face of 'USA, USA' chants, play up his major chances, and nod to Hannah Greens stunning run of form. Women's golf is key to this week's action with the first major of 2026 (and a new pond to celebrate), while we also pick out some Zurich Classic teams of note and toast the DP World Tour's return with news of some incredible prizes via our fantasy league.

We're on hand to run through all the key talking pointers following another gripping renewal of the Masters, as Rory McIlroy defended his title, Scottie Scheffler finished a staying-on, record-breaking second, and Justin Rose had another chance to win a Green Jacket. We talk all those contenders plus Cam Young and Tyrrell Hatton, what to make of the set-up at Augusta, and where McIlroy now sits among the greatest golfers Europe has produced. There's temper tantrum takeaways after the antics of Robert MacIntyre and Sergio Garcia, the latest on Jon Rahm, and a look ahead to a more serene week in golf with the RBC Heritage headlining.

Masters week is finally upon us and after a brief word about Sam's birthday and JJ Spaun vs Bob MacIntyre II, we focus on the first major of the year, beginning with how on earth do we follow McIlroy's grand slam win? With that dealt with, we talk trends and key stats and ask which of the many different preparations is best, before working our way through all the big names, from Scheffler, Rahm, Bryson and McIlroy to potential new major champions like Fleetwood, MacIntyre and Min Woo Lee. The debutants also get a brief mention before a suitably Masters-themed edition of Highest Bidder, and a word on a fun way to help raise money for charity by putting your knowledge to the test.

We find out how her form has improved, what it was like being in the Solheim Cup conversation, and what she hopes the future holds.
