    On this week’s episode, Michael and Lewis assess Scottie Scheffler’s chances of successfully defending the Wanamaker Trophy, Rory McIlroy’s chances of taking another step towards completing the calendar year grand slam, Jordan Spieth’s chances of completing the career grand slam, and the LIV golfers’ chances full-stop!

    May 7 2026

    Do not adjust your sets - this is not your typical episode of The bunkered Podcast!

    Instead, this is something brand-new from the TBP Universe.

    Introducing episode one of bunkered Business, a spin-off show focusing on the companies and commerce that power the game at all levels.

    Presented by Owen Wyatt, the chief growth officer of DC Thomson, and your regular bunkered Podcast host Michael McEwan, this is the podcast for golf entrepreneurs, innovators and decision-makers.

    To kick us off, a closer look under the bonnet of LIV Golf and where that investment went wrong for Saudi Arabia and its Public Investment Fund.

  • LIV Golf on life support - is this the end?
    May 5 2026

    So it’s official: the PIF of Saudi Arabia will no longer bankroll LIV Golf - but what does that mean for the future of the league? Indeed, does it even have a future, or are we watching it take its final few breaths?

    Michael and Lewis discuss that, and what the implications might be for LIV’s star players, on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.

    Elsewhere, there’s not one, not two, but THREE rules SNAFUs to discuss, plus a call to action for anybody named Mark.

  • What is the US Ryder Cup team thinking?!
    Apr 27 2026

    Six months after losing the Ryder Cup in front of an, ahem, partisan home support at Bethpage, Team USA has a new captain.

    Except he’s not new at all. Jim Furyk, the man who presided over the 17.5-10.5 pounding in Paris, is back in the saddle.

    Which begs the question: what are they thinking?!

    Michael and Lewis break down the appointment a busy episode which also includes reaction to the scandalous ticket prices for next year’s match at Adare Manoe, thoughts on the Open’s return to Royal Lytham, Nelly Korda’s third major victory, the LIV / PIF omnishambles, Matt Fitz-hat-trick, and Justin Rose signing with McLaren Golf.

    It’s a busy one!

  • The massive Masters debrief (2026 edition)
    Apr 14 2026

    Rory McIlroy has made yet more Masters history, becoming just the fourth man to successfully defend the green jacket – but where does that rank him amongst Europe’s golfers of all time? And did he have, as some have suggested, an “unfair advantage” this year?

    Michael, James and Lewis get into the weeds on the latest episode of The bunkered Podcast.

    Elsewhere, the guys weigh up Justin Rose’s prospects of ever winning the green jacket, the Par-3 Contest’s 'celeb’ problem, merch madness, and Robert MacIntyre and Sergio Garcia’s bad behaviour.

    Plus, James has an announcement...

  • We need to talk about Tiger...
    Mar 30 2026

    Following his latest car crash, Tiger Woods' competitive future is once again in significant doubt. Is it time for the former world No.1 to walk away from golf? Should the chance to captain the US Ryder Cup team be taken away from him? Is he competent enough to lead the PGA Tour’s Future Competition Committee?

    Michael, James and Lewis discuss all of these points – and more – on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.

    Elsewhere, there’s praise for Gary Woodland following his remarkable victory in Texas and reaction to growing speculation that the Ryder Cup could be heading to... Bolton?!

  • Seriously though – how do we fix golf?
    Mar 24 2026

    Golf is the greatest sport of all... but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect.

    And so, inspired by yet another slow debacle on tour, Michael and Lewis take the opportunity on this week’s pod to spell out all of the other improvements they’d make to the game, from the grassroots up.

    Elsewhere, the guys start the countdown to The Masters by picking out some players who’ve got a fight on their hands to make it to Augusta.

    Asked & Answered, Podder of Merit, and Golf Tenable all feature as usual, and Michael gets freaked out by something he saw near the office.
