It’s Christmas time. There’s no need to be afraid.

Instead, it’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy The bunkered Podcast’s annual review of the last 12 months.

MVP, LVP, Most Bats**t Moment, Quote of the Year… Michael, James and Lewis hand out awards for all of these categories plus so much more.

Elsewhere, there’s a final Podder of Merit update for 2025, Michael raps (oh yes he does), and “Sadie Says” makes a much anticipated and welcome return.

Tune-in now!

And on behalf of the whole team, here’s wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thanks for listening, watching, engaging, reviewing and more.

We’ll be back - bigger, better and uncut - in January!

As he prepares for his final tournament of a career-defining 2025, it's time to ask the question: is Rory McIlroy the greatest European golfer of all time?

Michael, James and Lewis debate the cases for and against on this week's episode of The bunkered Podcast.

Elsewhere, the guys respond to LIV's first close-season signings and debate an alleged case of cheating on the Challenge Tour.

Oh, and Michael hints at a hidden talent...

So, now that it’s going to be 72 holes, does LIV need to change its name?

That’s just one of the questions Michael, James and Lewis ponder on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.

The guys explore the reasons behind the Saudi-funded league’s big format shift and assess if it’s likely to get them the world ranking points they so badly crave.

Elsewhere, Michael tries deep-fried pineapple, the guys make the case for ‘Freduardo’ Molinari to be the Ryder Cup captain, and Gary Player is *this* close to getting his own weekly segment on the show.

Plus, Golf Tenable, Podder of Merit, the Hole in None Club, and the invention of a brand-new business called Fore Wheel Drive.

Not for the first time, the Old Course at St Andrews is set to undergo a raft of changes ahead of The Open's return to golf's hometown in 2027 - but is this a case of evolution or revolution? At what point (if ever) does the course drift too far from its original look and feel?

Michael, James and Lewis discuss on this week's episode of The bunkered Podcast.

Elsewhere, the guys set the record straight about clickbait, misquoting and that whole Graeme McDowell thing; could a LIV player ever really be Ryder Cup captain; Gary Player's three "greatest players of all time"; and there is a genuinely laugh-out-loud funny - not to mention surreal - addition to the Hole In None Club.

With news that Good Good is to sponsor an upcoming PGA Tour event, is this a glimpse into a YouTube-first future for golf?

Michael, James and Lewis discuss that prospect on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.

Elsewhere… What was Jason Day thinking going with only 13 clubs in his bag last week? What is Hallowe’en like in St Andrews? And there’s a hugely emotional addition to the Hole In None Club. You’re going to want to tune in just for that.

Oh. Dear. Tiger Woods has been forced to undergo yet MORE back surgery that looks set to prolong his latest spell on the sidelines.

The 15-time major champion hasn’t played a competitive round of golf on the PGA Tour since Friday of the 2024 Open Championship - and who knows when the next one might be.

So, we have to ask the question… is this finally the end of the road for the former world No.1? Has the time come to call it quits and put his health first?

Michael, James and Lewis debate that on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.

Elsewhere, Lewis has won a trophy, there are new additions to the Hole In None Club, and Michael has probably ruined Keita Nakajima’s week…

Europe stands on the brink of Ryder Cup glory after opening up a historic advantage over the US on Day 2 at Bethpage.

Luke Donald’s men require just two-and-a-half points from Sunday’s singles session to retain the trophy - yep, this thing is almost done!

Michael and Ben record today’s final Commute live from the spectator village, reflecting on what Europe have done so well this week, where it’s gone wrong so far for the US, and whether or not there’s any possibility of a stunning American fightback.

Plus, Scottie, Scottie, Scottie - where has it all gone wrong?
