This recording was delayed until Monday morning because life is better with Andy by Brendan's side! Andy's in the dumps following the Illini's loss to Kentucky in the Round of 32, but his spirits were lifted by Tiger Woods hard-launching his relationship with Vanessa Trump on Sunday night. Brendan and Andy unpack all aspects of Tiger's post, from the bizarre caption to the posed photos prominently featuring the Sun Day Red logo. After a quick spin through Vanessa Trump's Wikipedia page, the two move on to the golf, where a "lost" Viktor Hovland ran down Justin Thomas to win the Valspar. Brendan is fired up about how great the PGA Tour's Florida Swing was and imagines Luke Donald is thrilled with back-to-back wins from European Ryder Cup stalwarts. Andy shares some appreciation for Viktor Hovland's openness with the media when discussing his struggles and compares how Hovland and JT played the final few holes down the stretch in different ways. It was a week of viral moments - Billy Boy showed off some ambidextrousness, making a birdie after hitting his approach left-handed, Adam Hadwin broke a sprinkler with a club slam, and Patton Kizzire perfected the "putter punt." Elsewhere in golf, Dick Mansell won on the DP World Tour, the Sunshine Tour is back in the Coetzee Zone, and Miguel Angel Jimenez secured his second Champions Tour win of the 2025 season in California. There's also plenty of chatter about the PGA Tour's DMCA habits, which are back and possibly better than ever! Things wrap up with some March Madness talk following Andy and PJ's trips to their respective regional sites to watch their teams lose in the second round.

This week on The Sports Agents...From sneaking a disguised Novak Djokovic into a team talk, to lessons from Ben Stokes and the LIV/PGA divide, we chatted to European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald for an exclusive interview (02:15). One day Jim Ratcliffe said Manchester United were on track to be 'bust by Christmas', and the next they announced plans for a £2bn stadium... so we asked Professor of Football Finance at the University of Liverpool, Kieran Maguire, how that makes sense (08:45). Michael Jordan, Usain Bolt, Sarah Storey... lots of famous sportspeople have tried switching sports. We got into what that's like with double Olympic champion Jade Jones, who's swapping taekwondo for boxing. We also chatted to Usain Bolt's football coach, Mike Mulvey (16:30). And comedian Adam Hills chatted to us about his new role as President of the Rugby Football league, which seems to involve a big gold chain, hearing stories from his Ukrainian counterpart and spending his spare time at the Para-Standing Tennis World Championships (21:30). Got a question for The Sports Agents - email us at thesportsagents@global.com New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.

A month out from the Masters and what always feels like the beginning of the golf season we speak to European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald. Why did he put Novak Djokovic in a disguise?

(07:40)Comedian and host of The Last Leg, Adam Hills, joins us to talk about his new role as President of the Rugby Football League. What was it like meeting his Ukrainian counterpart who's fighting in the war? And how has he also competed at the para-standing tennis world championships (we hear he picked a good partner!)?

Woodland Campus | Pastor Luke shares on what it looks like to love the Lord with all your soul and mind.

Despite the snow and freezing conditions, we are here with your weekly helping of sports news and chat. We kick off with the latest from the FA Cup 3rd round, as well as the mid-week League Cup results that see Newcastle on the verge of making a Wembley final. In Cricket it was the start of the Washes- the women's Ashes. In the first one-day international, England were disappointing as they slipped to 204 all out, which Australia saw off with relative ease, to win by 4 wickets and take a 2-point lead in the series (needing only 8-points to retain the Ashes). Meanwhile the arguments rage on whether England Men's team should play Afghanistan in the Champion's Trophy. We have the latest from Golf's Team Cup, where the Britain & Ireland team beat the Continental Europe team in Abu Dhabi, in what Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald said was “very valuable” preparation for this year's Ryder Cup. And in NFL we bring you all the updates from the Wild Card Play Off round, including a last second win for the Washington Commanders as teams now move on to within two games of the Superbowl. With the Australian Tennis Open having kicked off this weekend we call on tennis expert Justin Cook from the JC Tennis Coaching Centre. Juston runs the rule over the key favourites in the men's and women's event, as well as his thoughts on the hopes of the British contingent. We also chat about how things might play out in the new coaching partnership between Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic. Justin also shares how he and his coaching groups have adapted their training to compensate for, and include, the snowy and wintery conditions!

For the first time in 30 years, Europe brings a repeat Captain to the biggest spectacle in golf -- the Ryder Cup. And you can bet that Luke Donald will again have his lads ready for battle -- he was stellar during his first go-round in Rome in '23 -- this fall as they step into the cauldron that will be the Black Course at Bethpage State Park on Long Island. Hear what Captain Donald has to say about Europe's passion for the Ryder Cup, who (and what books) he leans on for his leadership traits, and what he expects to hear from the rowdy New Yorkahs in September!

Luke Donald joins DJ and Tron for a thorough debrief on the 2023 Ryder Cup and his captaincy for the victorious European team which has been profiled in a documentary "Una Famiglia" that premiered today.

For the first time in 111 episodes, Burko and Brentley are together live – and what better place to do it at than the Rusacks Hotel in St. Andrews, where just hours earlier Northwestern's men and Arizona's women won the team titles at the St. Andrews Links Collegiate on the Old Course. After some brief discussion over hotel minutiae, Northwestern head coach David Inglis, a Scotland native from just down the road in Edinburgh, is welcomed on the pod. The conversation is wide-ranging, including the Wildcats' growth this fall, Inglis' connection with St. Andrews, Luke Donald (inarguably the Wildcats' greatest alum), Matt Fitzpatrick (arguably the greatest single-semester alum), NCAA golf future and much more. The episode ends with Burko and Brentley about to crack open an IRN BRU, which Burko is very unsure about when told it tastes like bubblegum. (Behind the scenes: Burko did try it, nearly spit it out because of the carbonation, but finished the can like a champ.)

Shane Lowry and Smylie Kaufman reunite during "Honda" (now Cognizant) week to relive their opening of the 2016 tournament broadcast by promptly hitting two balls in the water and getting fined for their reactions. Shane explains why he would solve golf's distance debate without rolling back the golf ball, and proposes an alternate solution. Shane also relives the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, and why he bristled at the suggestion that he was the "last" pick on Team Europe. 0:14 Shane's stay-at-home dad job this weekend with his daughters1:42 Do his daughters like to play golf?3:10 Shane's Gaelic football heritage9:48 How Shane picked up golf in County Offaly, Ireland17:01 Shane and Smylie's wedge practice as kids19:28 The evolution of Shane's opinion on Florida golf20:38 Shane puts together the perfect Ireland golf trip28:35 When Shane originally moved from Ireland30:57 Discussing the WGC at Firestone CC32:18 Living and practicing in Jupiter, Florida33:27 Shane's ball-testing day with golf balls that would conform to USGA + R&A rollback36:13 Shane's proposed solution to increased distance in golf38:42 Shane recaps the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome41:06 Responding to doubters after Luke Donald made Shane a captain's pick46:36 What makes Sepp Straka such a good player47:52 Shane on his battle with Sepp Straka in the rain at 2022 Honda Classic49:20 Shane and Smylie relive their infamous tee shots in the "Bear Trap" at PGA National in 2016

Luke Donald (14:12) Craig Dolch (24:54)

Andy and Brendan are back for a Victory Monday edition of the podcast: claiming victories for the #GamblingPod getting back on track and for the passport problems moving toward a positive resolution. Then they get to the latest PGA Tour event, which pitted Jake Knapp against Sami Valimaki and a host of circus tricks created by the Vidanta venue. Was it so bad it's good territory? They debate whether this should be called a PGA Tour event or something else and if it's contradictory to be mad about “closed shops” and then also be down on this event. They have MAJOR questions about the S.H. Kim drop from earlier in the week that was not afforded to Valimaki on the 72nd hole when his ball was under a boundary fence. Knapp's Mighty Ducks sponsorship derails the podcast with lengthy chats about which golfers are which character. They also discuss Patty T's win on the LPGA, an Ortiz win in Oman, and the Magical Kenya Open getting a great story at the cut mark. News touches on Luke Donald now getting a turn in the NBC booth and reports of Anthony Kim making his debut this week with LIV Golf in Jeddah. 

Justin Thomas isn't thrilled with the idea of LIV golfers coming back on to the PGA Tour and Luke Donald explains Jon Rahm can play in the Ryder Cup and is eligible. Matt Adams is joined by PGA Tour winners Daniel Chopra and Mark Wilson as we get you ready for the WM Phoenix Open. Tiger Woods tweets out he's ready for Genesis.

Luke Donald's rise to the summit of professional golf culminated in his achievement of becoming World Number 1 in 2011, a testament to his unwavering dedication and skill. Alongside his individual success, Donald's leadership qualities earned him the role of European Ryder Cup Captain in 2023 in Rome where he guided his team with poise and tactical acumen, to a historic victory over the USA. Since then he has been elected as captain of the 2025 European Ryder Cup team once more. This conversation shows Luke's entire personality including his love for family, friends, and the arts and creativity side of life. His journey exemplifies the values of sportsmanship and excellence, solidifying his enduring legacy in the realm of golf and beyond. Subscribe for more. New episodes drop every Tuesday!

It's time for the first-ever session of Golf Court! The honorable Shane P. Ryan is presiding as Barrister Luke Kerr-Dineen and Joel Beall, attorney-at-law, argue about whether Luke Donald should get a second try at Ryder Cup captain, and whether the DP World Tour should lose its right to choose Ryder Cup venues. Plus, golf course bathrooms: Do we need them? Golf Court is now in session.

This Friday episode was recorded before the Bears-Commanders Thursday night game, but that doesn't stop an opening rant of dejection from Andy about the present and future state of his team. Then they get into a whiparound Friday that begins with JT tweeting about media coverage and Brooksy's apparent disapproval as well. Then they move to Freddie Couples spilling some tea on the specifics of what happened with the Rory McIlroy confrontation with Joe LaCava at the Ryder Cup. LIV's OWGR fate is also mentioned. Luke Donald getting a repeat captaincy is discussed. Lexi Thompson's exemption to the Shriners is debated. And TGL signing a rights deal with ESPN as well as previewing its new arena is covered. They close with an SGS Golf Advice on violent bosses, handicap cartels, and buddies trip dynamics. 

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme conduct an in-depth examination of the 2023 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone while advancing all the major storylines forward, discussing: how Team USA's prep could change in two years to emulate Team Europe, if Tiger Woods would be a good captain for the Americans at Bethpage Black opposite Luke Donald's likely re-appointment, and whether the financial storylines swirling around Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele will be resolved before 2025.

Andy and Brendan are live from their B. Draddy Den after a weekend watching the Ryder Cup and bombing around the New York area. The USA made it interesting on Sunday, but in the end, it was a highly questionable concession by Rickie Fowler that put a European team that started the day with a big lead over the top to take back the cup. They dissect the full day of singles matches in the aftermath of the continued fallout with Rory McIlroy trying to storm the USA locker room to confront Joe LaCava. That ongoing drama, as well as Cantlay hat-gate, is discussed in addition to the actual golf in the form of some MVPs and LVPs for each side. They attempt an autopsy at what went wrong on the losing side, with several people and circumstances playing into the failure. They do the same for the winning side and praise the work of Luke Donald in contrast to Zach Johnson. Thanks to B. Draddy for their support all week and for you listening and letting SGS do this.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap a dominant performance by Team Europe on day one of the 2023 Ryder Cup, which saw them sweep the morning session 4-0 and save one and a half points on the 18th hole with clutch putts from Viktor Hovland, Jon Rahm, and Justin Rose. Brooks Koepka's quotes referring to Jon Rahm in the context of "acting like a child" are read, and Smylie does his best to strategize for Team USA as they leave the first day of play trailing the Europeans by five points.

In September Jake and Damian chatted to a number of sports guests, but the conversations were far from sport centred. Each guest offered great learnings from their lives, including creating culture, what makes a great leader and how to be more present everyday.They reflect on the conversation they had with Ryder Cup legends Luke Donald, Sam Torrance and Paul McGinley about their leadership styles and why Paul and Sam didn't pick Luke to be in their team in 2014. Jake and Damian discuss Will Still's open and authentic leadership style. Jake and Damian had an honest and emotional conversation with Steve Hansen, the previous All Blacks' coach, on the hidden cost of high performance. Another vulnerable discussion was had with Paralympian David Smith MBE, who is currently dealing with the effects of a rare and invasive tumour. With David they consider the true importance of life. The conversations that took place this month were reminders to take a pause and try to stay present.

This is an open discussion about leadership, creating culture and what makes a winning team.To mark the 2023 Ryder Cup in Italy, Jake and Damian host a roundtable discussion with current European captain, Luke Donald, and legends, Paul McGinley and Sam Torrance. As Team Europe Ryder Cup captains past and present, they offer a unique perspective on leadership, team culture, and the winning formula that defines this prestigious event. They debate what makes a good Ryder Cup captain and the ways they get the best attributes from their players.Luke Donald shares his experiences under different captains and how this has now influenced the way he interacts with his players.

Andy and Brendan are back from the holiday weekend recording on the fifth anniversary of the start of this podcast, a misguided, silly, but often rewarding endeavor. They briefly discuss their weekends before a separate tennis chat on the U.S. Open in New York and what golf might learn, or not learn, from that. There's also some brief amusement over Martin Kaymer's dissatisfaction with the Cleeks. Then they get to the European Ryder Cup team rounding out with six picks from Luke Donald and what the Aberg selection says about the current state of golf. There's also some review of the U.S. roster and where it might run into points of contention against some of the personalities on this now finished Euro side. That also leads to a separate side reminiscence on the internal disaster that was the 2018 U.S. team when this podcast started, and whether there's the potential for that with this group. The Walker Cup at the Old Course is given a recap, with some thoughts on how to improve or tweak it going forward. News hits on the CJ Cup taking over the Byron Nelson.

This Friday episode was recorded from the car that was the scene of the infamous Caves Valley audio disaster, and from a worse-for-the-wear return to the shed. But it's a first of the month episode so Andy and Brendan are buoyant and excited for Labor Day, which is rated as a top holiday. Then they turn to some Ryder Cup clean up and the noteworthy quotes from Fred Couples that Keegan Bradley being older and not in tight with some of the younger guys on the team played a part in his not being selected. Any denial that friendships played a role in roster construction has zero worth or merit, even if that's the proper construction process. They also discuss the Euro movements and the signs that Ludvig Aberg seems headed for a spot on Luke Donald's team. They laugh at the Walker Cup hat uproar across the pond, but are eager to watch some great coffee golf from the Old Course. The week closes with SGS Golf Advice and an email on what to do when paired with two possibly made men who might be cheating their face off to win for your team in a charity scramble.
