Masters week is finally upon us and after a brief word about Sam's birthday and JJ Spaun vs Bob MacIntyre II, we focus on the first major of the year, beginning with how on earth do we follow McIlroy's grand slam win? With that dealt with, we talk trends and key stats and ask which of the many different preparations is best, before working our way through all the big names, from Scheffler, Rahm, Bryson and McIlroy to potential new major champions like Fleetwood, MacIntyre and Min Woo Lee. The debutants also get a brief mention before a suitably Masters-themed edition of Highest Bidder, and a word on a fun way to help raise money for charity by putting your knowledge to the test.Get 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: t.co/Jh8SujqGRPlay charity Masters game by emailing: richardcfarquhar@gmail.com
Our second bonus interview in quick succession is a chat with LET star Meghan MacLaren, which covers her career highs, her career lows, and much more. We discover what the financial realities of being even an in-form LET player are, why Meghan believes better access to majors is required, and just what it feels like to be standing on the tee wanting to be anywhere else. We find out how her form has improved, what it was like being in the Solheim Cup conversation, and what she hopes the future holds.Get 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: t.co/Jh8SujqGR
We begin this week's episode of Sliced where we like to, on the DP World Tour, with a recap of Alex Fitzpatrick's breakthrough win in a typically chaotic Indian Open at DLF. But the bigger stories follow, first with Gary Woodland's Houston Open win, a triumph in the face of personal adversity and one all of golf seemingly got behind. Then it's the rather more solemn news of Tiger Woods' car crash and DUI arrest, what it means for his Masters prospects and, more importantly, what it tells us about the person and his support network. Following that we preview the Valero Texas Open and one last chance to book a ticket to Augusta, before Sam goes low on Highest Bidder.Get 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: t.co/Jh8SujqGR
We begin our episode with praise for Jordan Gumberg and his career turnaround before getting stuck into the Valspar Championship, where Matt Fitzpatrick proved the pick of a particularly strong English challenge. We discuss his Augusta prospects and why his game is so well-rounded before taking in LIV's new event and a play-off between two world-class operators. But will both of them be at the next Ryder Cup? Yes, there's more on Jon Rahm's feud with the DP World Tour plus the lighter topic of what's for dinner for Rahm and Rory at Augusta next month, and then it's a spin through this week's events, Highest Bidder, and a quick goodbye.Get 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: t.co/Jh8SujqGR
1Ewen Murray, the legendary Sky Sports commentator, joins Sliced for our first bonus interview of 2026. He tells us what happened at the Ryder Cup and why it made him want to walk away, what makes good commentary, and where the PGA Tour's international feed is going wrong. There's insight into life inside the commentary box including when Rory McIlroy made history, where that puts him among the great European golfers, and why he so admires Sir Nick Faldo and Butch Harmon. Ewen also tells us about what he'd do to tackle golf's distance problem and reveals that while retirement was the plan, we'll be hearing more of him soon.Get 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: https://truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGR
The Players Championship delivered a thrilling finish and we spend a good chunk of time analysing Cameron Young's win, where it went wrong for Ludvig Aberg, and the shots Matt Fitzpatrick will regret. There's talk of Robert MacIntyre's improved form with Augusta in mind, likewise Xander Schauffele, and what made it such a great tournament to watch. We then discuss the future of the PGA Tour after last week's hints of changes to come, before a run around the world of golf this week takes in Mission Hills, a Snake Pit, and some online dancing content. Finally, a cracking question for Highest Bidder takes us into the records of US players in the Ryder Cup.Get 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: https://truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGR
Dan Bradbury denied Casey Jarvis a hat-trick in Joburg before Akshay Bhatia denied Daniel Berger in the Arnold Palmer. But are they anchoring the putter and should long putters even be allowed? That's one of the many topics covered along with Rory McIlroy's fitness, Viktor Hovland's quest for something out of reach, and Jon Rahm's comments on extortion. There are some lighter matters too like whether The Players Championship is a major and how that might eventually look, a positive update on Andrea Pavan, confirmation that Luke Donald goes for a hat-trick, and our usual attempt to fit everything else pro golf into just one hour.Get 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: https://truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRg
Casey Jarvis's second win in a row is where we begin this week's run around the world of professional golf, before we discuss what went wrong for Shane Lowry in the Cognizant, and how the pressure there might compare to the Ryder Cup. Once we've covered Chris Wood's domination of the MENA Tour it's time for a little quizzing as Sam showcases impressive knowledge of PGA Tour player profiles, before we cover some horrific news from the DP World Tour concerning Andrea Pavan. This week's golf schedule is a packed one so we whizz through what's changed in the make-up of a Bay Hill winner, what to expect in Joburg, and why Sam loves the sponsor invites list in Puerto Rico, before Ben finds a Jacob cracker in Highest Bidder.Sign up for our April golf day at Frilford Heath: https://tinyurl.com/slicedgolfdayGet 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: https://truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRgEnter our DPWT fantasy league with code 8NYORX5G: https://fantasy.dpworldtour.com/leagues
Sliced is a little late this week and so was Casey Jarvis in capturing the Kenya Open, where Angel Ayora suffered another difficult Sunday. We discuss those two bright prospects before heading to LA to reflect on Jacob Bridgeman's narrow victory over Rory McIlroy and what his progress says about the current structure of the PGA Tour, which is reflected in the field for the Cognizant Classic. That and the SA Open are discussed in our trip around the world of golf, plus there's talk of Tiger's Masters prospects and Jon Rahm's DP World Tour fines saga and what that means for the Ryder Cup.Sign up for our April golf day at Frilford Heath: https://tinyurl.com/slicedgolfdayGet 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: https://truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRgEnter our DPWT fantasy league with code 8NYORX5G: https://fantasy.dpworldtour.com/leagues
Anthony Kim's stunning comeback win in Australia features among our review of last week's golf, with Collin Morikawa's victory at Pebble Beach also covered in detail along with the also-rans: Scheffler, Fleetwood, and Mr Layup Sam Burns. There's a word on Charley Hull's mortgage and MJ Daffue's pronunication, before we breeze through news involving Henrik Stenson, Gary Player, Augusta, and Jordan Spieth. There's a preview of the DP World Tour's Kenya Open, a word on how much we both love Riviera and what it will demand, and then Tiger Woods gets a run-out in Highest Bidder.Sign up for our April golf day at Frilford Heath: https://tinyurl.com/slicedgolfdayGet 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: https://truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRgEnter our DPWT fantasy league with code 8NYORX5G: https://fantasy.dpworldtour.com/leagues
Familiar faces won last week's events as Patrick Reed held firm in Qatar and Chris Gotterup capitalised on Hideki Matsuyama's driving woes to win in Phoenix. We're on hand to pick apart both, with a word too on Scheffler, Thorbjornsen, Hill and other nearly-men, before we get stuck into the big debates of the last few days: is The PLAYERS a major and should LIV have got a better deal from OWGR? There's plenty more to chew on, a bit of a South African theme, a word for our sponsors, and the usual Highest Bidder sign-off.Sign up for our April golf day at Frilford Heath: https://tinyurl.com/slicedgolfdayGet 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: https://truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRgEnter our DPWT fantasy league with code 8NYORX5G: https://fantasy.dpworldtour.com/leagues
Justin Rose's imperious Torrey Pines performance has us, 40-something podcast hosts, waxing lyrical about a true legend of English and European golf. After that it's more DP World Tour drama as Calum Hill blows a big chance in Bahrain, an LPGA Tour farce, and why not everyone is happy about LIV Golf moving to 72 holes. We talk Patrick Reed's Race to Dubai hopes after his LIV exit and Reed is in action again this week in Doha, a course we both really like. That and more, and a word for our partners TRUE Linkswear, in your latest Monday episode.Sign up for our April golf day at Frilford Heath: https://tinyurl.com/slicedgolfdayGet 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: https://truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRgEnter our DPWT fantasy league with code 8NYORX5G: https://fantasy.dpworldtour.com/leagues
Patrick Reed's Dubai domination kicks off this week's episode before we marvel at Scottie Scheffler's latest win, which saw him reach $100m in career earnings. LIV's latest signing and the debate that sparked is next along with our assessment of the fact that Reed is yet to re-sign with his high-profile team and what that could yet lead to. After that it's around the world of golf, as both main tours drop in grade for the Bahrain Championship and the Farmers Insurance Open, before a topical Highest Bidder, a few reminders, and a word for our partners TRUE Linkswear.Sign up for our April golf day at Frilford Heath: https://tinyurl.com/slicedgolfdayGet 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: https://truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRgEnter our DPWT fantasy league with code 8NYORX5G: https://fantasy.dpworldtour.com/leagues
We kick off today's show with a recap of the Dubai Invitational, where Shane Lowry's double-bogey at the 72nd hole paved the way for a career-best win for Nacho Elvira. After discussing Lowry's record in the mix we're off to Hawaii for a Chris Gotterup hat-trick and Bob's broken putter, with our usual run through the other stuff taking in the KFT, TGL, and a big amateur event. Golf news is again LIV-themed with their media day not necessarily going to plan and Patrick Reed since declaring that the PGA Tour remains number one, while Bryson is threatening life as a content creator instead of a proper golfer. We also discuss this week's events in Dubai and California, which feature the two biggest names in the game in Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler.Sign up for our April golf day at Frilford Heath: https://tinyurl.com/slicedgolfdayGet 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: https://truelinkswear.uk/Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRgEnter our DPWT fantasy league with code 8NYORX5G: https://fantasy.dpworldtour.com/leagues
We're back less than 24 hours after our first TRUE-sponsored episode with a special bonus edition of Sliced, following Monday's confirmation that Brooks Koepka is back on the PGA Tour and will play the Farmers and Phoenix in the coming weeks. What does it mean for Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau? Will LIV Golf stump up the money the latter seems sure to demand or might they even pivot fully to their supposed global plans and go without him? And how will Koepka be received back on the PGA Tour? That plus Ben An's departure to a new team which has left one 2025 LIV player not too happy to have been cast aside.Get 15% off with TRUE by using code SLICED: REGISTER INTEREST FOR SLICED GOLF DAY 2026: https://tinyurl.com/slicedgolfday2026Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRgEnter our DPWT fantasy league with code 8NYORX5G: https://fantasy.dpworldtour.com/leagues
Sliced begins with a special guest, Oli Wilson, and a special announcement, as TRUE linkswear become our first ever partners. After that giddy beginning we crack on with the usual spin through the world of golf, including Brooks Koepka's bid for a PGA Tour return, Elvis Smylie and Thomas Detry both joining LIV Golf, but Akshay Bhatia turning them down. There's more on Vijay Singh's 'controversial' use of a thing he earned by being great at golf, a Highest Bidder tour de force (Ben writes these), a warm welcome back to the DP World Tour in Dubai, and to the PGA Tour in Hawaii. But will it be there again next year?

Sliced is back and we're sorry there's so much LIV Golf news to see us into 2026, following news of Brooks Koepka's departure (and that of Mito Pereira), and Bryson DeChambeau's demand for improvement from the league. We also talk about Rory McIlroy's appearance on Stick to Football, Luke Donald's interview in The Times, TGL line-up drama and personal injuries, before a good chunk of time is spent drafting our respective teams of 2026 DP World Tour winners.

We end our first year of Sliced with a Christmas (but not Christmas-themed) Q&A, including major predictions, our favourite winners, how we'd revamp the majors, who is going to win them in 2026, strokes-gained explained, and plenty more. It was that or an in-depth preview of the Tata Open, which we felt not even our most hardened of subscribers really needed.Thanks from both of us for listening this year. If we could have one final Christmas gift from you, it would be a star rating (five, please), review, comment, share and/or subscribe. 🎄 Merry Christmas from Sliced 🎄REGISTER INTEREST FOR SLICED GOLF DAY 2026: https://tinyurl.com/slicedgolfday2026Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRgEnter our DPWT fantasy league with code 8NYORX5G: https://fantasy.dpworldtour.com/leagues
On this week's Sliced we reflect on a miserable birthday which Sam makes up for with an excellent quiz, and that wasn't the only frustration of the week just gone having been right about Jayden Schaper without benefiting from his brilliant play-off win in Joburg. There's praise for the runner-up, a brief word on the pairs' event in the USA, then it's on to the latest cycle of LIV news, including Si Woo Kim's decision to reject the Ironheads and the implications that may have. We talk Sports Personality of the Year, PGA Tour Q-School, the Mauritius Open and more as the year in professional golf finally draws to a conclusion this week.REGISTER INTEREST FOR SLICED GOLF DAY 2026: https://tinyurl.com/slicedgolfday2026Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRgEnter our DPWT fantasy league with code 8NYORX5G: https://fantasy.dpworldtour.com/leagues
Royal Melbourne was the star of the show in the Australian Open and we talk about what a great test it provided, for Rory McIlroy and for the winner, Sliced guest Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen. Kristoffer Reitan's all-the-way win at Sun City is also discussed while Ben provides blow-by-blow coverage of the Hero World Challenge play-off, which took place during recording. Once over that drama there's talk of Tiger Woods and retirement (separately, rather than together) and then it's onto this week's not-the-Joburg-Open in Joburg, and the pairs' competition in Florida. There's deja vu in Highest Bidder before a few reminders about our upcoming Q&A and a 2026 golf day (see links below for more).REGISTER INTEREST FOR SLICED GOLF DAY 2026: https://tinyurl.com/slicedgolfday2026Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRgEnter our DPWT Fantasy Game with code 8NYORX5G
