  • 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.

  • Have American golf fans crossed a line?
    Mar 17 2026

    The behaviour of certain spectators at The PLAYERS Championship last weekend has created almost as many headlines as the golf itself - so is it time for the PGA Tour to straighten it out?

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

    Elsewhere, does anything make Cameron Young smile? Why can’t English golfers win at TPC Sawgrass? How should we be feeling about Rory as he prepares to defend the Masters?

    Plus, Lewis tries using A.I. and James is getting his teeth done, both with absolutely terrible consequences.

  • The massive PLAYERS Championship preview
    Mar 11 2026

    Get ready to for all the “fifth major” start to resume in earnest – it’s time for the 2026 PLAYERS Championship!

    On this week’s episode, Michael, James and Lewis set the scene for the 52nd edition of the PGA Tour’s flagship event. Will defending champ Rory McIlroy be fit to play? Will the real Scottie Scheffler show up? Why is it so damn hard to defend at TPC Sawgrass? The guys debate it all.

    Elsewhere, has Luke Donald risked his legacy by three-peating as Europe’s Ryder Cup captain? And Lewis is now a qualified rules official... and it’s actually way more interesting than it sounds!

  • When F1 and golf collide
    Mar 3 2026

    McLaren Racing launching a new golf equipment company was not on our bingo card for this year… but here we are!

    The F1 giant has teased its plans to enter the world of club manufacture next month, with some exceptionally high-profile hires to its staff already having been confirmed.

    What does this mean for consumers, for tour pros, for the marketplace and more? What should we expect from the new McLaren clubs? And more the point, could this herald a wave of other big tech disruptors launching their own golf hardware (the Apple iBall, for example)?

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

    Elsewhere, the guys react to Shane Lowry’s painful Cognizant Classic collapse and have some harsh words for some of their media colleagues.

  • Adios, Ryder Cup Rahmbo?
    Feb 24 2026

    Jon Rahm’s Ryder Cup future appears to be hanging by a thread. Is it really possible that he’ll be banned from playing in next year’s match at Adare Manor?

    Michael, James and Lewis discuss that - and what it could all mean for Europe’s prospects of a third straight win - on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.

    Elsewhere, there’s chat about Anthony Kim, Tiger Woods’ Masters hopes, a ridiculous game of Golf Tenable, and ‘a pair of beavers’.

  • Should The PLAYERS really be a major?
    Feb 9 2026

    It must be February. We know that because the old “Should The PLAYERS Championship be a major” argument has started all over again.

    Michael, James and Lewis discuss the merits for and against (mostly against) that idea on this week’s episode.

    Elsewhere, the guys react to Patrick Reed’s latest win and the prospect of a first genuinely mouth-watering Order of Merit race in over 20 years, and there’s reaction to LIV finally getting OWGR points (and still being unhappy about it).

    Plus, mine shafts, Golf Tenable, and… Strictly Come Dancing?!

  • All Hail Justin Rose!
    Feb 2 2026

    Following his dominant win in the Farmers Insurance Open, it’s time to ask the question: does Justin Rose’s CV get enough credit? Michael, James and Lewis debate that on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.

    Elsewhere, the guys react to Patrick Reed’s LIV exit and discuss whether or not the WM Phoenix Open is good for the game.

    Plus, there’s an epic game of Golf Tenable.

  • Does Patrick Reed deserve more respect?
    Jan 27 2026

    Following his victory in the Dubai Desert Classic, Michael, Lewis and James ask if the time has come to finally put some respect on Patrick Reed’s name - or if his, ahem, complicated history means that will never be possible.

    Elsewhere, the guys discuss Rory McIlroy’s comments on Muirfield and the thorny subject of free relief from divots rears its head once again, prompting raised voices, fireworks and… Peter Rabbit?

    Plus, there’s a game of something called Play Your ‘Grams Right…
