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
Rory McIlroy at Royal Melbourne is enough to send golf fans bouncing into December and that makes up part of this week's episode, after we've discussed a dominant David Puig win, pigeons, and a lack of sleep. There's more on the state of the PGA Tour after Brian Rolapp's latest comments and then plenty of time to get stuck into why different skills will be needed in Australia than those required in the Nedbank Golf Challenge. There's a brief word on the Hero, too, where world number one Scottie Scheffler is a very short-priced favourite, before we bring listeners EXCITING NEWS (see below).REGISTER INTEREST FOR SLICED GOLF DAY 2026: https://tinyurl.com/slicedgolfday2026Subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRgEnter our DP World Tour fantasy game with code 8NYORX5G
We are delighted to bring you our latest bonus interview as new PGA Tour member Jordan Smith joins the podcast. He chats to us about the state of the DP World Tour, his plans for 2026 on the PGA Tour, and why LIV's latest move might see Dan Brown join him in the US. He tells us what it was like when he missed out on a card under similar circumstances last year and why he feels his putting is better than he's given credit for, plus how he produced the round of his life in Dubai. We ask him whether he feels he should've won more and what he's doing to try to put that right, and there's talk about the state of the game, stars of the future, and what he'll miss about playing mostly in Europe.Subscribe to our newsletter here: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRg
The DP World Tour season is dead! Long live the DP World Tour season! Yes, after 10 days or something, the transition from 2025 to 2026 is complete and we have players to follow for the new campaign. Before that there are reflections on the RSM Classic and a win for Finland's Sami Valimaki, plus the latest analysis of LIV Golf's off-season recruitment with Laurie Canter set to join Victor Perez. We try to make sense of golf's newest cheating scandal and then it's a spin around the world of golf this week, those players to follow, and a rushed Highest Bidder debacle.Subscribe to our newsletter here: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRg
Please note slight audio issue for first 9 minutes - Ben apologisesThis week's podcast is a celebration of all things DP World Tour after a magnificent ending to the season in Dubai, where Matt Fitzpatrick edged out seven-time Race to Dubai champion Rory McIlroy. We also talk two Sliced guests who are now PGA Tour members after a stunning finish for one of them, and how the HotelPlanner Tour class of 2024 proved to be outstanding. The rest of the show includes Adam Schenk winning in the Bermuda winds, a breeze around the world of golf including the RSM Classic, and unfortunate news of surgery for Justin Thomas.Subscribe to our newsletter here: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRg
This week's podcast begins with reflections on Abu Dhabi and Mexico, where Aaron Rai and Ben Griffin were the winners. So was Sami Valimaki but perhaps less so Garrick Higgo after his ruling hijinks in an event which may not live long in the memory. Speaking of LIV, their change from 54 to 72 holes takes up a chunk of our news slot along with some curious potential new team names, before we get onto the DP World Tour Championship and the end of our first season of Sliced. Like all great golf tours, the next one begins as early as Monday. Subscribe, rate, review and comment before joining us then.Subscribe to our newsletter here: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRg
