  • Ep 203 | Hurley heroics, crowd heckles + WM Phoenix Open & Qatar recap
    2026/02/10

    On this week's edition of the podcast, Peter and Ronan wax lyrical over the WM Phoenix Open as Chris Gotterup stole the title from Hideki Matsuyama for his second win in three weeks to move up to 5th in the world. However, the fireworks might be outweighed by more crowd disturbances at this tournament.

    Pádraig Harrington made his 500th DP World Tour start last week but Gary Hurley was also another good news story as he showed a return to form in South Africa after a hellish year out of the game. Plus Patrick Reed leads the Race to Dubai by a considerable distance, might that prompt Rory McIlroy to add more events to his DP World Tour schedule in order to win his 8th Race to Dubai crown?

  • Ep 202 | LIV get OWGR points + Harrington's 500 club + evergreen Rose
    2026/02/04

    On this week's edition of the podcast Peter and Ronan chew the fat off the bombshell that LIV Golf have received Official World Golf Ranking points but are unhappy at being restricted to the top-10 players per event.

    Pádraig Harrington makes his 500th DP World Tour appearance at the Qatar Masters this week in a career that just keeps on giving on the course and in front of the camera. Meanwhile, Seamus Power is showing encouraging signs of getting back to form, but the Farmers Insurance Open was dominated by Justin Rose, who, at 45, is enjoying much more of an Indian summer and is surely too good not to play in the 2027 Ryder Cup in Adare Manor.

  • Ep. 201 | Reed an example to follow, Scottie grabs another win + TGL nightmare
    2026/01/26

    On this week’s edition of the podcast Peter and Ronan discuss the fallout from the respective victories of Patrick Reed and Scottie Scheffler. As Scheffler hits the record books with Tiger and Jack after his 20th win, is Reed an example to follow for what a potential world tour could look like?

    It was take two at TGL for Peter in the SOFI centre and after an underwhelming first season he was intrigued to see has the product improved. There was also underwhelming weeks on tour for Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry and Seamus Power while Tom McKibbin and Alex Maguire have started the year brightly.

  • Ep 200 | James Sugrue making up for lost time
    2026/01/06

    On this week's podcast, Ronan sits down with Mallow's finest James Sugrue as he looks forward to an exciting 2026 campaign. Sugrue burst onto the scene in 2019 winning the Amateur Championship at Portmarnock before playing in all four majors including the 2020 Masters where he met Tiger Woods!

    Instead of trending upwards towards similar heights again, golf and life has had other ideas. Bad luck and some injury hell had Sugrue contemplating giving up the game but he salvaged his 2025 season and won his HotelPlanner Tour card. Now after emerging from the wilderness, he will embark on the "biggest year" of his career as he looks to reach the DP World Tour.

  • Ep 198 | McIlroy growing the game + card battles Stateside
    2025/12/08

    On this week's edition of the podcast, we reflect on the Australian Open that saw Rory McIlroy tee it up down under as he ended brought the curtain down on a sensational year that literally saw him take his game around the globe as he looks to grow the game worldwide.

    Tom McKibbin also completed a great year in South Africa's Nedbank Golf Challenge. McKibbin has made LIV Golf work for him and has combined that with impressive appearances on the DP World Tour as well as a victory in Hong Kong which has punched his ticket to the Masters and Open next year.

    There is still lots on the line for the Irish as Lauren Walsh and David Carey bid for PGA Tour and LPGA Tour cards respectively.

  • Ep 197 - Caolan Rafferty
    2025/11/19

    Move over Rory McIlroy, there’s a new slam winner in town! Caolan Rafferty recently etched his name into Irish golfing history as the first amateur to conquer all four provincial championships, completing the coveted 'Provincial Slam' with a dramatic North of Ireland win at Portstewart in September. And while the Career Grand Slam winners’ club has six members – Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and now McIlroy – the Irish amateur provincial slam is an exclusive club with only one name on the list: Caolan Rafferty. Ronan sat down with Caolan to look back at his historical year.

  • Ep 196 | The gap at the top
    2025/11/12

    On this week's edition of the podcast we discuss the DP World Tour Q-School results and why Ireland seems to be struggling to produce players ready for Europe's top level after three successive years of no cards.

    The DP World Tour reaches its finale as Rory McIlroy chases a seventh Race to Dubai crown which would move him to within one of Collin Montgomerie's record eighth. Does the Race to Dubai still mean as much? And if so have we given Montgomerie's dominance enough credit given the depth of talent on the old European Tour.

    There are also card permutations on both sides of the Atlantic as Seamus Power resumes his quest to retain his PGA Tour playing rights as five Irish bid for Alps Tour status. Leona Maguire looks to secure her spot in the LPGA Tour season finale.
