    A chipolata to snack upon, on the eve of the PGA Championship. Andrew AND Eddie are joined (eventually) by Iain, who gives us his thoughts from Aronimink and in particular why he's grateful that he doesn't have a gambling problem. We hear from Rory McIlroy, who will be hoping to hobble his way into contention on an unsightly foot. And each of the TCF team reveals who they think might win, just so that you know who best to avoid.

  • The Wood, The Mad and The Club-Tree
    May 11 2026

    Plenty to discuss this week and a slightly different trio to do so as Iain jets off for the USPGA, so Andrew and Eddie are joined by Chris Wood, whose return to form continued with a victory in Italy on the Hotel Planner Tour. The three talk about the dark times Woody has been through to get to where he is now as well as picking over Eddie's latest decent showing, with a top-20 in Spain that nevertheless led to clubs being either thrown or given away to children. There is also a debut PGA Tour win for Kristoffer Reitan to chat about while looking ahead to the second men's major at Aronimink.

  • Iron Man Returns
    May 4 2026

    With Andrew applying the finishing touches to his bumper colouring-in book, Eddie assumes the presenter’s seat buoyed by an encouraging return to action in Turkey. Iain (aka 'The Badger') is also happy with signs that show his golf isn’t quite as hapless as he feared. But the conversation is dominated by events on and off the course at the top of the game. They discuss a slow play penalty at the Turkish Open where there was a heartwarming winner, although we’re not sure whether it happened in Asia or Europe. Eddie and Iain also consider a dominant but dull win for Cameron Young and an equally emphatic win for Nelly Korda, while also getting into the possible demise of LIV Golf. They then round things off with Iain turning film critic and Eddie exclusively revealing that he doesn't know how to pack properly, or indeed stay around for a made cut.

Genuinely funny. I love the tone of it. Really good chemistry between the three of them and a super insight into tour pro life.
