Scottie Scheffler continued his historic run by winning the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush, cruising to a four-shot victory at 17-under to secure his fourth major title in just over three years — matching Tiger Woods’ early career pace. His final-round 68 cemented a dominant performance, extending his streak to 11 straight top-10s and further solidifying his grip on World No. 1. The win also reshaped the Ryder Cup picture: Rory McIlroy remains the lone automatic qualifier for Europe, but Shane Lowry, Tyrrell Hatton, and Robert MacIntyre are closing in, while Sepp Straka’s recent surge adds intrigue. For Team USA, Keegan Bradley sits 10th and could become the first playing captain since 1963, thanks to a new rule allowing on-course advice from vice-captains. Meanwhile, Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy impressed with late Open charges, and with the Olympics and FedEx Cup playoffs looming, the summer golf calendar is just heating upSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well we called it. Scottie monstered the field in The Open Championship.Okay, we didn't call it, in fact our Betr multi was a bust on every leg....we will make formal apologies at some point on today's podcast, you deserve nothing less.But.....Scottie was magnificent, and controlled the tournament, certainly over the weekend, and we start today with Nick and Mark discussing some of the most impressive parts of Scottie's performance: his putting, his recovery from poor shots, his composure. Exceptional. Nick says the player interviews post the tournament and prior to the final day reminded him of when he was playing and Tiger dominated, in that everyone felt that they were playing for second place, Scottie was that good.Then Mark makes a big call on Scottie and how many tournaments he will win, Mark doesn't believe he will win over 10 majors in his career, as he feels that his footwork will limit him at some point. Nick disagrees, and says Scottie has plenty of years left and will get to double figures.Nick talks about playing with Harris English who he said was exceptional then, and now, and highlights what the weakness in Harris' game was when he played with him. Mark raises the Ryder Cup and says that surely Chris Gotterup is a certainty to be picked now, Nick says no.We discuss the Aussies. A poor tournament overall, with Marc Leishman the only one to make the cut, ultimately finishing T52. Mark raises Cam Smith, and his consistent poor performances in the majors, and says that whilst LIV has been great for Bryson's game for example, it has not been good for Cams, and he just has to start hitting fairways. Nick comments that Brysons performance at the weekend was very strong after a terrible first day, and Mark predicts that we will see Rahm have a 'cracking' 2026 season and explains why.Both Nick and Mark loved how Royal Portrush looked, Mark is desperate to play it. Nick loved the drone shots. And we discuss how on the hardest hole on the course, Scottie birdied Calamity 3 days of the 4....Mark would like a plaque to be placed there to commemorate it.Then we apologise for our Betr multi, although Nick notes one leg would have come off were it not for Shane Lowry's 2-shot penalty, Mark wasn't aware of it, so we play the audio and discuss. But one person does win, wolfpacker Narelle Brunotte was drawn as our winner - she had a punt on our Betr multi and whilst the multi was a dismal failure, Narelle has won 250 bucks to spend at the Golf Clearance Outlet...congrats Narelle!Mark lists his Top 5 courses in Ireland that he'd like to play, has he missed any obvious ones?As you'd expect, the PING global results today have a big focus on The Open Championship, although we do digress for a moment with a video that contained an unusual sound.....we play the audio, and if you're watching on YouTube you will see the Shepmates take on it....very funny. During PING globals, Nick tells a great story that has come out of an Australasian Q-School in the US at the weekend.Feedback - lots of comments on last weeks Top 100 World Golf Course List with Jasper from the Top100 organisation, and plenty of comments - some in support, and some not - on LIV seeking OWGR points.Nick's masterclass today is inspired by Scottie Scheffler and looks at why aiming for the middle of the green is more effective than aiming for the pin.A fun pod today, and a feedback one to come later this week which we're looking forward to!We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.

Tom Irwin has just returned from a week at Royal Portrush where he was both media and family man. Once he'd put away the laptop, he experienced The Open with his wife and two young children. Does the Championship do enough to engage families? Is it really doing its best to inspire the next generation? He discusses this with co-host Steve Carroll and the pair also dive into Scottie Scheffler's fourth major victory. Is he simply the dominant force, or is there not a lot to challenge him? And Tom asks Steve about the rules dramas with Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy. Was the punishment too strong in Lowry's case? It's an interesting discussion on a situation most of us will have experienced at our clubs.

Mark and Ronan recap Friday at the Open Championship as Pete took a significant fall!! Cut day served up plenty of drama, but none more so than Shane Lowry's harsh ruling that saw him penalised two shots for accidentally moving his ball on the 12th. Rory McIlroy continues to fight with his swing, and at three under, he is seven shots behind Scottie Scheffler, who took control of the tournament with a superb round of 64 to lead by one from Matthew Fitzpatrick.

      Death, taxes and Scottie Scheffler looking good for a win.   Those are the three certainties in life, and so it proved on day two of The 153rd Open. World No.1 Scheffler moved into pole position to win the Claret Jug after a scintillating 64 at Royal Portrush.   Will he go on to finish the job this weekend? Could Bob MacIntyre be the one to stop him?

Andy and Brendan return to recap the second round of the 153rd Open Championship following Scottie Scheffler's 64, the best round of the day at Royal Portrush. Most of this episode is focused on another brilliant round from the Sheriff, allowing him to take the outright lead by one shot over Matt Fitzpatrick. Brian Harman popped early, firing a 65 in the morning wave to have the lead for most of the day until the two policemen got hot. Shane Lowry was also discussed at length after cursing at Royal Portrush, the site of his lone major win, and being handed a two-shot penalty for causing his ball to move with a practice swing. Andy and Brendan run through notable missed cuts, including LIV stars Cam Smith, Brooks Koepka, and Patrick Reed, and American "stars" Patrick Cantlay and Collin Morikawa. Andy wraps up with some more "Storylines Nobody's Talking About" and is sure to mention Matthew Jordan's career-high Open round, the Sepptic Tank's first major made cut of 2025, and a retired golfer who found his way to the weekend.

TSN senior golf reporter Bob Weeks joins us on Mail it in Friday to discuss Scottie Scheffler's rise up the leaderboard at The Open. Weeks shares his thoughts on whether Scheffler can go for the career Grand Slam. He gives his take on the frustration shown by Shane Lowry and Jon Rahm

It's Open Championship eve in the Irish Golfer house and the lads are giddy but also bracing themselves for an early start as they set their alarms for the crack of dawn to catch Pádraig Harrington's opening tee shot and find out where he bought his 99 ice cream.First tee pressures won't be exclusive to just Harrington as big receptions await Shane Lowry, Tom McKibbin and Rory McIlroy at Royal Portrush. We have a chat with Harrington about having the honour of hitting the opening tee shot at 06:35 on Thursday morning and why he has no intention of becoming a ceremonial golfer despite the scenario he finds himself in.

Matt Adams broadcasts live from Royal Portrush on a Tuesday at the 153rd Open Championship. Hear from Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry ahead of the event plus, we get you set going over all the storylines, coverage details, press conference schedule, course breakdown, latest odds, weather updates and much much more.

It's the week of The Open Championship, or the British Open, depending on how you say it. Before we get to that though, we have to touch on Grace Kim's fantastic win, we'll go through it in great detail on tomorrow's main podcast, but we had to acknowledge it today given how incredible the win was, particularly the finish!Onto The Open. Nick and Mark discuss what Royal Portrush is like, how it plays, and how well one of the players they like this week - Shane Lowry - plays this course. Mark is concerned about Rory given the undoubted media attention he'll receive. Can Jason Day win? He could, but Nick and Mark don't believe he is playing well enough at the moment; however they do like Ryan Fox this week.Mark feels that this tournament may be Adam Scott's last chance to win a major. Nick disagrees. Predictably, Mark is bullish on Sepp Straka, knock us over with a feather, who'd have seen that coming. Nick disagrees (again), saying whilst the course suits Straka, he doesn't rate his chances. Mark says Morikawa is no chance as he is hitting the ball terribly at the moment.And Mark names the player that he would love to win the tournament (hint, it's not Straka). And Nick explains why he believes Scheffler might struggle this week.We run through a bunch of other players and how they might go, including Nick and Marks tip for the winner, and their roughie.And, given it's a major, we've got our Talk Birdie To Me multi on at Betr. Two legs a reasonable chance, one a bit riskier, but that gets the odds up a little further, we'd love you to get on board at Betr if you have an account, and if not, it takes a moment or two to set up. Here's the multi:1) Tommy Fleetwood to beat Bryson2) Shane Lowry to beat Rory3) Scheffler to miss the Top 10Paying 14 bucks. Remember, there's no guarantee you'll win, it's just a bit of fun, so if you can't afford to lose it, then don't bet it. But it's a fun one to whack 5, 10, 20 bucks on. You can find the Talk Birdie To Me multi on the Betr website or app under 'Betr Specials'.See you tomorrow when we go in depth on the amazing Grace Kim result on the main pod !We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.

A new documentary airing this week This is Open Country, coming to Sky Sports Golf and NOW. Ahead of the Open arriving into Portrush next week, this one-hour special feature examines just how golfers from the island of Ireland have proved to be undeniably successful at this great tournament. For the first time within one film, we hear from Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Pádraig Harrington and Darren Clarke, to understand what transformed these four men from young boys on the golf course to Major success. Ivan spoke to its Director Ross Whitaker.

The next generation of golfers hoping to follow in the footsteps of Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry have been put through their paces in East Clare this week. Bodyke has been the scene for the latest Junior Camp at East Clare Golf Club. The club is home to a Dr. Arthur Spring designed Championship parkland course, which is idyllically situated in the rolling East Clare landscape just a stone's throw from Lough Derg. On Monday and Tuesday this week, a host of young golfers have been levelling up their game, sharpening their swing, and having fun on the fairways! Alan Morrissey made the trip to East Clare Golf Club to chat with some of Clare's talented young golfers, as well as the club figures helping them to grow their game.

After tons of anticipation, it was the longshot J.J. Spaun who survived Oakmont and came way with the the US Open trophy!We dive into everything surrounding this tournament and discuss what J.J. Spauns' win at the US Open means for him and his career, how the collapse of Sam Burns could affect him going forward, if Viktor Hovland can break through in a major championship after coming up short again and how Robert McIntyre is playing his best golf right now.Plus, the guys tee off on Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry for how they acted at the US Open!Let us know what you thought of the tournament in the comments!☑️TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Intro00:34 - US Open Reaction03:42 - J.J.

On this week's edition of the podcast, we dive into JJ Spaun's sensational US Open win at Oakmont. Spaun had been unheralded and considered giving up the game last year but now his life has changed. Oakmont as a golf course was the big winner in the end as Sunday became survival of the fittest.Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry had disappointing weeks while there was more media controversy for McIlroy who took a jibe at journalists on site while Lowry had a moment to forget on the 14th. Meanwhile, 18 Irish are in action at the Amateur Championship while the Flogas Women's Irish Amateur takes places in Headfort.

Andy and Brendan went live in front of a studio audience at Local Remedy Brewing in Oakmont to recap the second round of the 2025 U.S. Open. They discuss an... interesting... leaderboard heading into the weekend, headlined by Sam Burns after a Friday 65. The two share some worry about the current situations unfolding and debate what the best-case and worst-case scenarios are come Sunday night. They two then run through the big names who won't see the weekend, including Bryson DeChambeau, Shane Lowry, and Ludvig Åberg. There's some scuttlebutt from the grounds, some live audience interaction, and much more whimsy on this Friday the 13th recording.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the 2025 RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto. -Discussing top 7 on odds board -2 t20's -3 outrights (40/1, 80/1, 100/1) -Sleeper, talking Cougar Collins -FRP, 2 lineups, scoring, best bet For the latest on the world of golf, follow Doc on X @drmedia59 The 2025 RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto brings exciting betting opportunities and player analysis. Hosted at Osprey Valley, this wide-open, low-hazard course with oversized greens promises a birdie-fest with a projected winning score of 27-under par. Will Doctor's PGA Tour Preview Podcast delivers in-depth insights for bettors and fans. Rory McIlroy leads the odds at +450, having won twice and posted two additional top-10s in four Canadian Open starts. Despite some recent iron play struggles, McIlroy's game suits the forgiving Toronto course, though Doctor passes due to short odds. Ludvig Åberg sits at 16-1 after a strong 16th-place finish at Memorial and a prior 7th at the Masters. Corey Conners, at 20-1, boasts consistent ball-striking and improved putting but faces distance concerns. Shane Lowry's excellent tee-to-green game is offset by putting woes, making him a fade at 22-1. Robert MacIntyre, last year's champion, faces chipping and driving distance issues, leading Doctor to pass on him at 30-1. Taylor Pendrith's elite iron play is countered by inconsistent putting, leaving him off the card at 30-1. Sam Burns offers strong value with elite putting and returning iron form, making him a top-20 pick at +125. Johnny Keefer, a 24-year-old emerging star, enters with Korn Ferry Tour success and a recent U.S. Open qualification, earning a top-20 bet at +250. Luke Clanton, the Florida State standout with historic amateur PGA Tour performances, is backed for an outright win at 40-1. Gary Woodland, recovering strong form and elite bentgrass putting, holds value at 80-1. Eric Van Rooyen's dominant U.S. Open qualifying win makes him a compelling 100-1 outright play. Sleeper Cougar Collins, a TPC Toronto member, earned his Canadian Open spot via qualifying and is backed for a top-40 finish at 8-1. First-round pick Harry Hall, ranked 6th in first-round scoring average, offers value at 4-1 to finish top-10 after round one. DraftKings lineup selections include Åberg, Burns, Clanton, Keefer, Van Rooyen, and Collins, while PGA Tour Fantasy features Åberg, Hall, Clanton, Van Rooyen (Captain), Keefer, and Burns. Weather forecasts predict favorable scoring conditions early with potential rain disruptions over the weekend. Doctor's best bet is Ludvig Åberg top-10 at +150. The podcast wraps with a promo code RBC20 for Pregame.com discounts and a tease for upcoming U.S. Open coverage. TPC Toronto's debut promises plenty of drama, breakout performances, and strong betting angles for this year's RBC Canadian Open. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this week's edition of the podcast the lads discuss another Scottie Scheffler masterclass at the Memorial as he won his third event in four starts and will rightly be the overwhelming favourite to win next week's US Open.Shane Lowry's putting continues to be a worry despite all of his excellent golf from tee to green while slow play reared its ugly head at the US Women's Open but there were positive signs for Leona Maguire despite a third missed cut in a row at Erin Hills.

-Discussing top 7 on odds board at Quail Hollow -1 matchup -2 picks to place -2 outrights added to 2 futures on card -Sleeper, 2 lineups, scoring, best bet Will Doctor, host of the Golf Preview Podcast, provided a comprehensive breakdown of the 107th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, North Carolina. The event features 156 players, and the course—known for hosting the Wells Fargo Championship—is now set for its second PGA Championship. Rory McIlroy, with four wins at Quail Hollow and four victories in his last ten starts, is co-favorite at +550 alongside world number one Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy, though powerful off the tee averaging 324 yards at Philly Cricket, only hit 40% of fairways, presenting accuracy concerns. Scheffler, coming off an eight-shot victory at the Nelson, has shown flawless iron play and putting, despite never playing Quail Hollow professionally. Will Doctor endorsed Scheffler as his primary pick at +550. Justin Thomas, fourth favorite at 22-1, has been exceptional lately with two runner-ups and a win in his last four starts. His strong course history at Quail Hollow, including a 2017 PGA win, positions him as a top contender. Bryson DeChambeau, at +950, recently won at Live Korea, praised for his elite driving and improving short game, though his iron play remains a question. Doctor recommends DeChambeau for a Top 10 finish at +110 but avoids an outright pick. Sepp Straka's victory at Philly Cricket was highlighted by his 60% fairway rate, over 3.5 strokes gained on approach, and best-in-field putting performance. Shane Lowry led the field in approach but faltered with the putter, notably a costly three-putt on the 72nd hole, continuing his winless streak since 2022. Will Doctor criticized his own picks from the previous event, noting none contended, with Spieth finishing T34, Stevens T23, and Dorby Olson T54. His picks to place last week salvaged some units, including Patrick Cantlay and Tommy Fleetwood, both closing with 65s, and Andrew Novak with a final round 64 for T17. Quail Hollow, expected to play at 7,600 yards, faces wet conditions from early-week rains, likely favoring bombers and elite chippers, though greens will remain firm due to sub-air systems. The betting focus includes Justin Thomas over Jon Rahm at +117, McIlroy to Top 5 at even money, and Bryson DeChambeau to Top 10 at +110. Futures on Tyrell Hatton and Sung Jae Im have lost value, with both needing career weeks to contend, particularly Im, whose iron play has struggled all year. The DraftKings lineup features DeChambeau, Thomas, Matsuyama, Novak, Mitchell, and Norgaard, while the PGA.com lineup includes Scheffler (captain), DeChambeau, Thomas, McIlroy, with Mitchell and Novak on the bench. Keith Mitchell, known for his fast starts but inability to maintain over four rounds, is backed to Top 20 at 3-1. Doctor expects the winning score at 14 under, higher than the 8 under posted by Thomas in 2017 due to softer conditions. His best bet is DeChambeau to Top 10 at +110. He criticized the Live schedule's poor major prep, arguing it hampers players like Rahm more than DeChambeau. Finally, he acknowledged the rain's impact would likely limit firmness to Saturday only, favoring players with distance, elite iron play, and strong short games.

Will Doctor reviews all 95 players at Augusta en route to finalizing card for the 89th playing of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. -Reviewing 4 futures outright tickets -Reviewing 3 picks to win any major in 2025 -Going through all 95 players in the Masters Tournament -Adding 1 outright -1 t20, 1 t30 -2 bets "to make the cut" -1 bet "to miss the cut" -4 72-hole matchups -1 first round matchup -3 round 1 three ball matchups -1 t10 after R1 including an 8.2-unit loss at the Valero Texas Open and a failed 9-1 futures ticket on the Houston Cougars in NCAA basketball. He stresses the importance of reviewing picks, especially amid a losing streak, and outlines the four Masters futures he carries from December: Scottie Scheffler (7-1), Ludwig Aberg (14-1), Sung Jae Im (50-1), and Sepp Straka (100-1), with three additional tickets on Sahith Theegala, Tom Kim, and Davis Thompson to win any major. Scottie Scheffler, coming in as the favorite at +525, is praised for consistent elite performance, including no finishes worse than 25th in six events since returning from a hand injury, and podium finishes in his last four starts. His game, including a best putting performance of the season in Houston, is peaking. Rory McIlroy is faded despite strong wins at Pebble Beach and the Players; Will cites driving accuracy issues and suggests 10-1 would be a fairer line than 7.25-1. Jon Rahm, now on the LIV circuit, enters at 16-1 with recent top-10s but inconsistent putting and chipping. Morikawa is also passed over due to final-round collapses, though Will does back him to top 10 in Round 1. Other fades include Bryson DeChambeau (20-1), Justin Thomas (25-1), and Hideki Matsuyama (35-1), due to poor putting or chipping trends. Conversely, Will is bullish on Robert MacIntyre (60-1), who has recorded three straight top-11 finishes and two strong prior Augusta showings. He places both an outright bet and a matchup on him. Victor Hovland is another targeted play, specifically in a matchup over Cam Smith, following his Valspar win and a confident outlook on his improved short game. Shane Lowry, cited for consistency and solid Augusta history, is backed for a top 20, while Russell Henley earns a top-30 ticket thanks to elevated iron play. Several key quotes add depth. Scottie Scheffler credits Texas's varied conditions for developing his shot-making adaptability. Rory McIlroy reflects on family memories and the beauty of Augusta. Morikawa defends media avoidance, which Will critiques as symptomatic of poor mental preparation. Hovland speaks optimistically about short-game improvements with coach Grant Waite, prompting confidence from Will. Aberg's comments reveal awareness of recent struggles, but he remains committed to routine. Sepp Straka remains a strong value at 100-1 with excellent iron play and driving form. He's bet to beat Sam Burns in a first-round matchup, who is faded due to declining performance. Sung Jae Im's ticket has cratered in value, and Will expresses regret on that pick. Spieth is passed over at 40-1 due to erratic iron play, despite solid chipping and putting. Other noted fades include Tommy Fleetwood, Corey Connors, Cam Smith, Patrick Cantlay, Min Woo Lee, and Brooks Koepka, each due to specific statistical weaknesses in approach, short game, or driving. Later segments analyze lower-ranked players, including positive remarks about Phil Mickelson's resurgence and Charles Schwartzel's sharp form. Will picks Mickelson to make the cut, citing recent LIV success. Keegan Bradley and Akshay Bhatia are also featured in favorable matchups. Will wraps with lineup picks for Masters.com, choosing Scheffler, Patrick Reed, Shane Lowry, Davis Thompson, and Straka.
