Little did we know when we recorded this episode at the end of March that we'd be sitting here right now with Rory McIlroy as a Grand Slam winner. Yes, we filmed this many weeks before the Masters, so we are clueless to Rory's triumph, hence the complete lack of reference to one of the biggest moments in our sport's history! Back to matters of equipment. This week, Dan has a rant about driving range etiquette and people's obsession with how far they're hitting the ball, Joe has an explainer all about torque in shafts, and this week's Ask The Pod wants to know what our dream equipment and apparel sponsors would be. Later, we're joined by Northern Ireland's second-best golfer (sorry, Tom), gear nerd and equipment aficionado Tom McKibbin, for an in-depth look into his bag for the 2025 season.

Andy starts this Friday episode by breaking the news of the latest Cavaliers trade to Brendan just before the NBA trade deadline on Thursday afternoon. Brendan parlays his excitement about the Cavs into a recap of LIV's first-ever round on FS2, complete with dancing robots, strobe lights, and a Backstreet Boys appearance! Brendan shares details of his morning watching the 54 players in Riyadh and calls Thursday's first round "the golf broadcast of the year" to this point. With solid first rounds from names such as Dustin Johnson, Lee Westwood, and new signing Tom McKibbin, there's some anticipation for the final two rounds of competition in Saudi Arabia. In other LIV news, the USGA announced an exemption category for LIV golfers, the first major to have an explicit category for LIV qualifiers. On the PGA Tour, a statement regarding Jay Monahan and Adam Scott meeting with President Trump was released just before recording. The three met to discuss a potential deal between the PGA Tour and PIF, which the statement alleges is becoming closer to being a reality. Andy and Brendan then talk through Rory McIlroy's response to Charley Hoffman's letter taking "thinly-veiled" shots at him earlier this week. On the golf course, the WM Phoenix Open has turned into a influencer event, which has Brendan wondering whether it could be that exclusive if everyone's invited. Brendan shares some reports from PGA Tour HQ about cafeteria prices being raised, and Andy wonders if this is an SSG operation to recoup some money spent on other sports teams. This episode wraps with some SGS Golf Advice questions about joining a club and some Super Bowl chatter before the big game on Sunday night.
Massive episode of Talk Birdie To Me today, in fact our longest episode so far. Could be because Mark consistently derailed the pod, but it could be that there was lots of stuff to talk about. Truth is probably somewhere in the middle.Nick has come in worked up over slow play after watching the Desert Classic in California and the Dubai Desert Classic at the weekend. Mark agrees and is amazed when Nick tells him the durations of some of the rounds. Nick gives his view again that stroke penalties should be introduced. Mark has three things he'd like to see happen that he feels will address slow play instantly. Nick's big beef is that the players are allowed to get away with it and the time limits are not being policed.In the Desert Classic, William Mouw shot 13 on a par 5, Nick saw it, Mark didn't - but it was what happened on the next hole that Nick found even more amusing.Mark mentions a major award Australia's OCM have won in the US for their work on the Medinah course near Chicago. Mark tells a story about him and Mike Clayton playing with a young kid from Queensland called Adam Scott at Cranbourne, and after seeing his first hole thinking he was rubbish.....but Adam then went on to blow them both away. Mark talks about how Adam was 'using the force' with his putting.We discuss Brandel Chamblee's tweet this week criticising LIV. Nick raises Rory McIlroy's chat with young Tom McKibbin about going to LIV or not.Top 5 from Mark is on the most disastrous holes ever. Plenty of feedback, including feedback from a tour pro giving one of our illustrious hosts a whack around the choppers. Very funny.PING Global with Nick is nearly derailed by Mark who has discovered AI this week and has been creating 'songs'. Unfortunately, he plays a few, and decides he wants to finish the pod by playing one in full - feel free to turn off when you get to that part.Nick's masterclass is inspired by William Mouw, video on socials.We're coming from Titleist and Footjoy HQ, and we're here thanks to our great partners:The watchMynumbers app, play smarter and use your data.

Welcome back ... to the Smylie Show! Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme cover a wide range of topics this week - from Sepp Straka's win at the American Express, to comments Rory McIlroy made about a protege of his potentially departing for LIV Golf, to the incredibly short-lived TikTok ban.Sepp's win marked just one of a number of interesting storylines coming out of La Quinta, including the continued resurgence of Justin Thomas' game, and some notable pace of play issues on Sunday with a series of changes on the PGA TOUR looming in 2026. On the DP World Tour, a week that began with Rory outlining the conversations he had with Tom McKibbin ahead of a reported move to LIV ended with a LIV player, Tyrrell Hatton, hoisting a trophy at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.All that + some live (at the time) NFL Playoff commentary, and yet another Sicko Gear Tinkerers report.Highlights:- Sepp Straka's win at the American Express- Justin Thomas' performance- Blades Brown swing analysis- One-and-Done picks Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe for more golf insights! #AmericanExpress #Amex #golfrecap #seppstraka #golf #golftips #golfswing #pgatour #golfpodcast #progolf #golfpodcast #smyliekaufman #smylie #smylieshow #swingtips #presidentscup #rydercup #golftrip #golftrips #youtubegolf #fyp #xanderschauffele #scottiescheffler #justinthomas #augusta #masters #theopen #pgachampionship #brysondechambeau #bryson #JustinThomas CHAPTERS:00:00 - Welcome Back...00:58 - NFL02:02 - TikTok04:17 - One and Done07:15 - Sepp Straka13:55 - Golf Viewing Habits14:19 - Pace of Play Discussion18:45 - Blades Brown's Wild Week22:19 - Blades' Swing Analysis25:05 - Smylie's Superlatives27:23 - DP World Tour Overview31:36 - Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Tom McKibbin36:20 - DP World Tour Insights39:30 - Tom McKibbin's Future46:29 - Sepp Straka's Golf Bag50:24 - Mini Drivers53:20 - Swiftie Rankings Update54:40 - Bills/Ravens Game Reaction56:25 - Show Wrap-Up56:35 - Colt Knost Interview Preview57:30 - TGL Week 2 Ratings58:20 - Outro

On this week's edition of the podcast the lads dive deeper into Tom McKibbin's proposed move to LIV Golf and whether his Holywood club mate Rory McIlroy can persuade him to stay with the DP World Tour and PGA Tour. McIlroy made some strong comments on the situation during his pre-tournament press conference in Dubai where he revealed he offered McKibbin some advice around the potential switch to LIV Golf. And after a promising start last week the lads have been left very underwhelmed by the TGL after week two fell flat on its face.

Michael and Jonny catch up after round 1 of TGL and the Team Cup have wrapped. Overall our thoughts on TGL are very positive, we liked the banter between golfers, the tech is impressive, but it's all very personality dependant and that'll be worrying when some golfers like Cantlay tee it up. Team GB&I won the Team Cup in Abu Dhabi, but Tom McKibbin took over the headlines with rumours that he's signed for LIV and will join Jon Rahm's Legion XIII team.

Hole 51: Martijn heeft weer getraind op ChiChi, Peter was nog een beetje ziekjes en Rogier en Paul hebben een teamtraining moeilijke liggingen gedaan en zich uitgesloofd op de Trackman range. De PGA tour was nog een weekje in Hawaii, een gevecht tussen JJ Spaun en Jaeger, maar Nick Taylor won. In Abu Dhabi was de Team Cup tussen GB&I en Continental Europe. De Britten en Ieren waren veeeeeeel beter, alleen Pavon hield redelijk stand. Nieuws was dat Tom McKibbin naar LIV zou gaan, dus we hebben het nog even over het belangrijkste op LIV... geld! In de korte ronde: TGL, rechtzaak Puma tegen Sunday Red, gaat Genesis op Riviera door met de huidige 'wildfires' in LA? Bijna alle transfers op LIV zijn rond en het 2025 schema is bekend en Niemann en Hojgaard zijn uitgenodigd voor The Masters. Ons 'jaarspel' gaat live en start deze week op Dubai.

On the first podcast of the new year it's a full house as Peter, Ronan and Mark reflect on the inaugural staging of TGL in Florida. What worked, who shone and what needs to improve. Plus the lads react to the bombshell news that Tom McKibbin is set to sign a multi year deal with LIV Golf to join Jon Rahm's Legion XIII team. And Mark dishes out the results of our 2024 predictions and after being humbled to the point of questioning the point of this podcast, the lads dust off the crystal ball for some not so accurate 2025 predictions.
Nuevo episodio de la Bola Provisional de Ten Golf con David Durán y Alejandro Rodríguez. Os contamos una noticia de última hora de la Team Cup que hace sangre y que merece la pena diseccionar y analizar. Además, hablamos de la TGL, la liga tecnológica de Tiger Woods y Rory McIlroy, las primeras impresiones que deja, qué es, a quién le puede gustar, cuál es su intención. Comentamos igualmente la noticia adelantada por Ten Golf del fichaje de Tom McKibbin por el equipo de Jon Rahm en LIV Golf, así como el anuncio de los cuatro torneos que faltaban en el calendario. ¿Qué supone? ¿Qué conclusiones se pueden sacar? No falta una recomendación musical a Pitingo con Amaral de por medio. Completito, todo. Con la colaboración de Costa del Sol.

Andy and Brendan are off to the races immediately in this episode thanks to the first-ever TGL match and the content bonanza surrounding it. The two break down The Bay GC's blowout win over NYGC immediately after things wrapped up on ESPN, saving their first reactions for the podcast and live show on YouTube. They discuss how the big screen (which can fit three dinosaurs inside it) played on TV, ESPN's telecast, NYGC's bizarre lineup construction, and so, so much more. Lifelong NYGC fan PJ is asked to make a statement on his team's behalf after watching the worst New York season opener since Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles. There are takeaways from Tiger and Rory's stints in the booth and Andy even takes a look at what kind of TGL merch is available for purchase before the Ballfrogs take the field inside the SoFi Center. PJ even makes a plea for a potential Champions Tour team in the virtual league. While most of this episode focuses on TGL, Andy and Brendan make their picks for this week's Sony Open, which is still being played in the shadow of golf's newest league and a loaded slate of playoff football. The two also discuss the Team Cup being played this week in Europe. Finally, Brendan and Andy touch on some news and notes such as Scottie Scheffler's WD from the American Express, Tom McKibbin's potential LIV offer, and LIV finalizing its schedule for 2025.
Andy Johnson and Fried Egg Golf's Joseph LaMagna are back to discuss ten breakout candidates for 2025. The two select five men's professional golfers each and dive into why they believe these golfers could be positioned for success next year. Could a PGA Tour rookie like Rasmus Hojgaard or Tom McKibbin make a splash now playing in America? Is there still room to grow for Davis Thompson after a successful 2024 season? And what's next for a high-profile golfer who's dealt with a litany of injuries? Andy and Joseph run through these players and more as they begin to look ahead to next year's pro golf slate.
Rory won the Race To Dubai for a 6th time, tying with Seve. We discuss whether this means anything for Rory's Major hopes in 2025. Tom McKibbin has earned his PGA Tour card with a thrilling finish, making a clutch putt on the final hole to get the job done. We published our video from Royal Portrush and announce that we're running a 12 Days of Christmas giveaway across our social channels. Jonny's audio this week isn't great, sorry about that.

On this week's edition of the podcast Peter and Ronan dust off the cobwebs to digest a crowning weekend for Irish Golf. Rory McIlroy unlocked his Seve level of legendary status with a sixth Race to Dubai win while Tom McKibbin will get to sample Donald Trump's American dream after he booked his spot on the PGA Tour. It's another big week for Séamus Power and Leona Maguire as they play their last events of the season and we discuss the Ryder Cup pay debate which could shake up the entire outlook of the contest going forward.
Jonny & Michael catch up after playing Powerscourt together and look ahead to the DP World Tour heading to Abu Dhabi for the penultimate event of the season. Rory looks set to win another Race To Dubai title, Tom McKibbin is on the verge of earning a PGA Tour card and so far it looks like just Conor Purcell will be the only Irishman playing on the DP World Tour in 2025. Jonny had an incredible experience playing Royal Portrush and outlines briefly why it is one of his favourite courses, with a video coming to our youtube channel very soon!

We're back! (Again) On this week's edition of the podcast we discuss an electric President's Cup that still came to its inevitable conclusion. Are the USA in good shape for next year's Ryder Cup? We also discuss Tom McKibbin's progress with just 6 events to go on his DP World Tour season plus all the drama from the Irish at Stage 1 of DP World Tour Q-School.
From Early Beginnings to Professional Golf Success with Tom McKibbin In this episode, Tom McKibbin shares his journey from starting golf at age eight to becoming a professional golfer. He talks about early competitions at Hollywood Golf Club, the significant role of his long-term coach Johnny Foster, and the transition from amateur to professional golf. Tom discusses his experiences on tour, including his first win, dealing with different courses, and the invaluable influence of playing alongside top players like Rory McIlroy. He also offers insights into training routines, the importance of short game improvement, and advice for young golfers aspiring to turn pro. Finally, Tom reveals his top golf courses in Ireland and his deep love for the game. 00:00 Opener 02:55 Introduction and Welcome 03:03 Early Days in Golf 04:18 Coaching and Development 06:41 Competitive Junior Golf 09:46 Amateur Golf Journey 11:09 Turning Professional -1 5:18 Winning on Tour 21:04 Life on Tour 33:24 Golf Philosophy and Enjoyment 42:11 Favorite Golf Courses Are you going to take ACTION and become a Certified Mind Factor coach?

On this week's edition of the podcast we discuss the continuing rise of 21-year-old Holywood sensation Tom McKibbin who qualified for the Open Championship in Royal Troon and cracked the top-100 in the world for the first time. A terrific Women's Amateur Championship was played at Portmarnock Golf Club with many of the Irish amateurs hoping that they can emulate what Lauren Walsh has done in recent weeks as she finished third at the Swiss Open, narrowly missing out on a maiden LET win.
On this week's edition of the podcast we discuss a disappointing showing from the Irish at the Amateur Championship in Ballyliffin and the prospect of an Irish win in Portmarnock at the Women's Amateur Championship this week. Tom McKibbin's fine run of form continued with a top-6 finish at the KLM Open while there was drama in more ways than one at the Travelers Championship but it didn't stop Scottie Scheffler from rolling to another victory + Padraig Harrington's eighth Champions Tour victory

On this week's podcast, the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill takes top billing as we recap another excellent week for Shane Lowry, what Scottie Scheffler's rekindled putting touch could mean for the rest of the field, Seamus Power's steady progression, and just exactly what's gone wrong for Rory McIlroy. We also delve into another fine performance from Tom McKibbin on the DP World Tour, the renaissance of Italian sensation Matteo Manassero, an underwhelming LIV event in Hong Kong, how Stephanie Meadow brushed off the cobwebs to top-10 on the LPGA in China, and detail the continued Irish success on amateur circuits all over the world.
On this week's podcast, we discuss Shane Lowry's near miss at the Cognizant Classic, Rory McIlroy's continued frustrations on the greens, Tom McKibbin continuing to rack up high finishes on the DP World Tour, another strong leaderboard on LIV, the failed Anthony Kim experiment and why golf desperately needs to cut ties with DJ Khaled. Plus, we talk to PGA Playoffs winner Simon Thornton and discuss the misfire in scheduling as he has to weigh a PGA Cup appearance versus an Irish Open tee time at Royal County Down.
We talk about being let down by the Waste Management Phoenix Open and LIV being the better show at the moment. Nick Taylor coming up clutch in another playoff and beating Charley Hoffman. Tom McKibbin continues to impress with his solo 4th place finish on the DP World Tour. As always we hope you enjoy the listen and if you do please hit the subscribe button and leave a comment.
This week we discuss the predictable mayhem of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, Nick Taylor doing the lord's work and keeping Charley Hoffman out of the Masters field, and disappointing weekends for Shane Lowry and Séamus Power. We also discuss how LIV's broadcasts (and leaderboards) continue to win over new admirers, G-Mac's resurgence, that horrendous shank from Jon Rahm that made us all feel a little better about ourselves, and how Tom McKibbin continues to impress with his steady performances on the DP World Tour. All this, plus a round up of the Irish in action, including Lauren Walsh's maiden outing as an LET Tour member alongside Olivia Mehaffey and Conor Purcell's frustrations after an excellent start in Cape Town.

David Durán y Alejandro Rodríguez analizan todo lo que nos dejó la semana pasada el Dubai Invitational, el gran arranque de año del DP World Tour, la enseñanza que nos deja los greenes del Dubai Creek Resort en el debate de la distancia y los nombres propio del torneo. Abrimos tertulia sobre el mejor jugador sudafricano de la actualidad y los contamos algunos detalles de nueve hoyos a pie de hierba siguiendo a Tom McKibbin y Nicolai Hojgaard. Nos metemos en arena con los debates de la semana. ¿Qué está pasando con el dinero en el mundo del golf? ¿Se nos está yendo de las manos? ¿Se está creando una burbuja que acabará estallando? ¿Hay una conciencia real del dinero que mueve el golf y cuánto retorno genera?

It has already been a golf week for the ages, and not a single shot has been hit on a major tour. A day after announcing that the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and LIV Golf will join forces in the near future, PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan joins our show to discuss what lead to this deal and what it will mean for the future of men's golf. Rory McIlroy has been one of the most outspoken critics of LIV Golf, and he spoke to the media at the RBC Canadian Open this morning. We'll listen to his full press conference as well as his one-on-one interview with Amy Rogers. Rory's fellow Northern Irishman 20 year-old Tom McKibbin won for the first time on the DP World Tour last week! We spoke to him about his ascendant career, and what it may look like in this new environment for the men's professional game. Also, legal expert Jodi Balsam stops by the show to help us unpack the potential ramifications of this massive deal between some of golf's biggest power brokers. Jay Monahan (1:30) Rory McIlroy (22:07) - with Amy Rogers (1:04:49) Tom McKibbin (50:12) Jodi Balsam (57:20)
On this bonus edition of the podcast we were delighted to be joined by the latest star name out of Holywood GC, Tom McKibbin, fresh off his first DP World Tour win at the Porsche European Open. The 20-year old has grown up with Rory McIlroy comparisons ringing in his ears but in Germany last week, McKibbin proved he's very much his own man, running out a two-shot victor as a host of tour title winners chased him in vain. McKibbin talks about the influence of experienced caddie Dave McNeilly on his game, how getting over the line didn't feel all that different to his amateur days, and what's next as he reevaluates his goals with the second half of the season still to play. As ever, we hope you enjoy the listen. Don't forget to subscribe and let us know what you think.
Emergency intro, we briefly react to the news of the PGA/LIV Merger before getting into the main podcast, WOW!A massive week in golf with lots to talk about! We cover Tom McKibbin's maiden victory in Germany, Viktor Hovland confirmed as the best guy in golf, and a whole lot of Ryder Cup chat. We're joined this week by our good friend Nick Burns who helps us right the wrongs of the golfing world!

On this week's podcast there was really only one show in town as Scottie Scheffler was all class in completing a dominating victory at Sawgrass. We try to pick holes in the American's armour but it proves easier said than done with the defending Masters champion in ominous form less than a month out from Augusta. We go down the leaderboard to find the other standout moments from the week at PGA Tour HQ where Shane Lowry was resolute and Rory McIlroy showed signs of fatigue. We round up all the news from elsewhere too with a strong performance from Tom McKibbin in Kenya and a big week for Maynooth at the R&A Student Series - Spain. We also round out the show reflecting on a certain Pádraig Harrington's induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame. As ever, we hope you enjoy the listen.

The boys catch up after Jon Rahm wins again and claims the World No.1 spot at Riviera. Tiger Woods was back playing 72 holes and Tom McKibbin and caddy Chris Selfridge split following last week's Singapore Classic. A superb player in his own right, Selfridge previously worked for Michael Hoey and DP World Tour winner Ryan Fox before signing up with McKibbin.

On this week's edition of the podcast we look back at the loudest event in golf that saw Scottie Scheffler return to the summit of the world golf charts. The man he usurped, Rory McIlroy didn't have his best stuff in the desert but it was another big week for Seamus Power who edged closer to $10m in career-earnings on the PGA Tour. Irish eyes were smiling elsewhere too as Tom McKibbin and Conor Purcell shone in Singapore and South Africa respectively. We have our man on the ground back from Oman to recap the latest International Series event featuring Graeme McDowell, while we also let you know what to expect from the Netflix ‘Full Swing' docuseries having enjoyed an early access look at a show that's got the golf world talking.

On this week's edition of the podcast we were delighted to be joined by 2022 Irish PGA Region Order of Merit winner Richard Kilpatrick. The Banbridge pro explains how finding the right balance off the course produced what he describes as his best ever season on it. Kilpatrick's money-list victory now opens doors to the PGA Play-Offs, which in turn provide DP World Tour playing opportunities should he perform at Aphrodite Hills. Kilpatrick predicts how his game will hold up should such opportunities present themselves, and he also discusses the likes of Gary Hurley and Tom McKibbin's promotion to the Main Tour, and shares a great story about Shane Lowry's short game genius. As ever, we hope you enjoy the listen. Don't forget to subscribe and let us know what you think.

On this week's edition of the podcast we look back on the talking points from a busy week of global golf, from Viktor Hovland's successful Hero defence to a home favourite filling his boots in South Africa, and an Adrian Meronk mauling Down Under. Tournament host Tiger Woods served up plenty of talking points from behind his Bahamas microphone, while Conor Purcell enjoyed a career-best week in Australia. There were also strong showings by ace in the hole, Tom McKibbin, and Gary Hurley in South Africa, and we also discuss Golf Ireland's new tournament schedule for 2023.

On this week's edition of the podcast we enter golf's silly season where we sit down and chat about the trending topics in golf. As Ireland's tour pros continue to punch well above their weight, we look back on a magical month of golf, shining the spotlight on Séamus Power, Tom McKibbin, Leona Maguire, Gary Hurley and many more. Tiger Month stumbled to a disappointing start with news of 15-time Major winner Woods' withdrawal from the Hero World Challenge. We ask the hard question, is it the end of the road for the wounded Woods?, and also touch on subjects ranging from a new Irish Open date, to WHS worries, a relentless schedule, G4D shortcomings and a faulty Official World Golf Ranking system. As ever, we hope you enjoy the listen. Don't forget to subscribe and let us know what you think.

As we bask in Seamus Power's second PGA Tour title in 15 months we also take a look at the new date for the Horizon Irish Open, review the end of the first LIV Golf season, preview the lads looking to progress at DP World Tour School and Alps Tour Q-School. Tom Mckibbin and John Murphy are vying for DP World Tour promotion at the Challenge Tour Grand Final while we also discuss a glaring omission from Golf Ireland's High Performance panel. And of course Rory is top of the world again.
On this week's edition of the podcast we recap a jam-packed week of golf from the worlds of competition with consequence to the latest LIV Golf event in Boston. We go deep on what was a social media storm for the pro and anti-LIV brigade over the weekend and look ahead to how the so-called Saudi defectors will be greeted back on the DP World Tour at this week's Flagship event at Wentworth. We also discuss another top-10 for Leona Maguire as she shows form ahead of the eagerly-anticipated Women's Irish Open. There was a big week for Tom McKibbin on the Challenge Tour, pennants won and hearts broken at the AIG Cups and Shields at Tramore, and an emotional victory for Oliver Wilson in HimmerLand.

It was a non entity week really for the picks for Jamie & Craig but a nice 20/1 T2nd with Morikawa & 150/1 T3rd with Tom McKibbin places for Ryan as keep the current streak of places going. What a fantastic performance by the talented Chilean Joaquin Niemann who blitzed The Riv away in spectacular fashion eventually winning by 2 shots at -19 although did get to -21 at one stage but nonetheless very impressive from a player with a big future. This week Craig is joined by Owen Vrabel of Draws n Fades Podcast to go over Honda Classic as we arrive at the start of the Florida Swing for the better part of PGA Tour season starting at PGA National (Champion Course) which historically is won between -6 & -12 so it is a very firm test for players. It's just a shade over 7,045 yards originally designed by Fazio's then took a redesign by Jack Nicklaus in 2014 including the gruelling 3 hole stretch from 15-17 known as 'The Bear Trap' which I one of the toughest stretches on Tour.

On this week's edition of the podcast, we react to an explosive week off the fairway where Phil Mickelson's Super League masterplan was exposed by none other than Mickelson himself. U.S. journalist Alan Shipnuck delivered Mickelson on the record like never before, with Phil talking openly about sports-washing, using the Saudis for leverage and the scary m*therf***ers he's going into business with. Since then, the Saudi-backed SGL has taken some almighty hits with Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau joining the game's best players pledging loyalty to the PGA Tour, while Rory McIlroy didn't mince his words in condemnation of Mickelson, believing the breakaway league is now “dead in the water”. We have all that and lots more, with actual tournament coverage from the Genesis where Niemann was the man, a near-miss for a real talent in Tom McKibbin and plenty of Irish angles in between. As ever, we hope you enjoy the listen. Don't forget to subscribe and let us know what you think.
On this week's edition we look back at the Irish Challenge at Portmarnock Links where, although no fans could see it, there were plenty of Irish eyes smiling as Dermot McElroy lifted the Christy O'Connor Jnr trophy as the top home player in Dublin. Interestingly, McElroy, along with the Ireland's other leading players on the week, Michael Hoey, Cameron Raymond and Tom McKibbin will not benefit from Team Ireland funding in 2021. We discuss the merits of that system and also round-up all the action from across the tours with Leona Maguire beaten by eventual champion Ally Ewing in the LPGA Match-Play while we also look ahead to Stephanie Meadow competing at this week's US Women's Open. As ever, we hope you enjoy the listen. If you do, don't forget to subscribe and let us know what you think.
