On this episode 202, I am joined by golf podcaster Jonny Mac Cann for a deep and dynamic State of the Game golf edition. The aim was to keep the conversation to 40 minutes which we failed at miserably as the 2025 golf season was packed with history and headlines. In a wide-ranging episode we discuss golf media, Irish women's golf, Lauren Walsh , rising stars in the game, and that masters win by Rory. We also dig into the Ryder Cup, will Luke Donald continue as captain and who will over next. Please note the conversation was recorded prior to the departure of Brooks Kepka from Liv. We discuss Liv's pending merger with the PGA and Tom McKibbon. It's an honest, insightful chat that looks at where the game is right now — and where it might be heading next. Check out Jonny's podcast and socials here https://linktr.ee/bogeymenpod?utm_source=linktree_profile_share
