Sam and Ben are joined by Sir Nick Faldo, who offers his view on the Ryder Cup, Europe's experienced side and the depth they now have, and what it'll be like in front of big crowds at Bethpage. Sir Nick also talks the British Masters, an event he hosts, and reveals that a new sponsor is lined up for 2026, plus there's time to wonder 'what if?' Rory McIlroy hadn't won the Masters on that famous Sunday in April. We hear about some of his Masters and major memories, how fixing a weakness is key to achieving your potential, and what he'd change to improve the sport he loves.Subscribe to our newsletter here: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRg
It's a geek week as Sam and Ben get into the weeds of the DP World Tour membership criteria and schedule changes for 2026. Before that, Alex Noren's Wentworth win and a rinse and repeat from Scottie Scheffler are discussed along with Charley Hull's win on the LPGA Tour. Finally, it's off to France this week, there's news of an upcoming bonus, and Highest Bidder kicks off our Ryder Cup countdown.Subscribe to our newsletter here: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRg
Sam and Ben reflect on another moment of brilliance in a remarkable year for Rory McIlroy, following Sunday's Irish Open showstopper. Then the DP World Tour hogs the limelight again with the BMW PGA Championship, which we preview along with a word on the battle for 2026 status, but Alex Bjork doesn't want any of that as he calls it a day. Sergio Garcia's Ryder Cup 'snub' chat has our duo puzzled, and that's very much the word to describe Highest Bidder, while there's time too for Walker Cup, Charley Hull, and the return of the PGA Tour.Subscribe to our newsletter here: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRg
Sam is back from Greece and ready to get stuck into Europe's predictable Ryder Cup picks, plus Keegan Bradley's decision not to pick himself. That comes after a look back on a painful finish to the European Masters for Ben, while Sam has a positive word for a Danish veteran who has worked his way back to form as the season nears its end with limited chances left. Category 12 comes up again before we move on to the Irish Open and a suitably-themed Highest Bidder.Subscribe to our newsletter here: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRg
Sliced goes on (DP World) Tour for the very first time as Ben and Sam plug the final summer holiday gap with their day at the Belfry. Hear from Martin Couvra on a fine rookie campaign, Ross Fisher on what it's like battling for your card, and Matt Wallace on why he heads to Crans still believing in his Ryder Cup dream. Nathan Kimsey talks Bryson plus our duo get a taste of the caddie life by hauling the bags of Callum Tarren and Laurie Canter down the first hole of the Brabazon Course.
Ben is back from Paris where he (sort of) crossed paths with a Sky Sports golf presenter, and Sam is ready to challenge his Ryder Cup wild card views. That comes after praise for Penge following another fine win, likewise for Scottie Scheffler as the pair ask whether he's intimidating to play against. LIV Golf's finale gets a mention along with the latest golf news, before it's on to this week's British Masters and the FedExCup finale. Finally, Highest Bidder: Revamped hits the airwaves.Subscribe to our newsletter here: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRg
It's the week of the Danish Golf Championship so who better to join the list of Sliced guests than Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, the rising star of Danish golf. He tells us why he might just know a thing or two about the new course being used for the event, but before that we cover the Ryder Cup, Team Cup, Danish golf, his experienced caddie, his friends on Tour, and what he learned at college where he overlapped with Viktor Hovland.

Ben and Sam are back to update you all on the important stuff: how Sam's game is suited to links golf, how Ben's was somewhat ruined by bad behaviour. Then it's onto the Wyndham and an emphatic breakthrough for Cam Young, a look at some FedExCup failures, and a disappointing effort from the DP World Tour graduates. Charley Hull's runner-up finish in the Women's Open is followed by her dream four-ball, before that theme spills over into the Nexo Championship. We also cover the FedEx St Jude Championship, news of Jordan Spieth's resurrection, and more.Please fill in our listener survey (again?): https://t.co/rg9EwWFL0KAnd subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRg
Ben is on hand to offer apologies and thanks on behalf of him and Sam, who are taking their first week off since Sliced was launched seven months ago. They'll be back to preview the Nexo Championship on the DP World Tour, the beginning of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Playoffs, and reflect on the Women's Open, at the usual time next week.
Ben and Sam begin this week's Open Championship recap by heaping praise on Scottie Scheffler, set to go down as one of the greatest to play the game after cruising to his fourth major championship. There are more reflections on Portrush including praise for the course, before the pair ponder the impact it had on the Ryder Cup picture. With no DP World Tour action there's time to look at the Race to Dubai, before a revamped Highest Bidder.Please fill in our listener survey: https://t.co/K0qrjBkgwJAnd subscribe to our newsletter: https://t.co/Jh8SujqGRg
Ben and Sam defy family commitments, technical issues and fatigue to convene ahead of the final round of the Open. Hear what they have to say about Scottie Scheffler, how impressed Sam is by Haotong Li, how many subplots have piqued Ben's interest, and much more packed into a half-an-hour bonus for subscribers.
Ben and Sam try their best to spin through Sam's trip to France, the Scottish Open, the Evian and a few other notes before getting stuck into the Open Championship.

Ben and Sam reflect on Dan Brown's impressive, emotional win in Munich, plus a second play-off success for short-hitting Brian Campbell. Should he be in the Ryder Cup reckoning?

Ben and Sam chat to Ryan Fox just before the two-time PGA Tour winner heads out to Portrush to prepare ahead of the Open Championship, which he reveals is the major he's most suited to. Ryan also discusses the fine line between winning and not winning, how the shot of his life set up victory in Canada, and why Robert MacIntyre helped inspire him. There's talk of his big Presidents Cup goal along with a determination to contend for a major, why he loves the idea of national opens taking on greater significance, and the pros and cons of Signature Events and the DP World-to-PGA Tour pathway.
Ben and Sam toast a significant day in both their lives before their usual look at all things tour golf. That begins in Italy with Adrien Saddier's long-awaited first win plus a look at the controversial category 12 membership category, then moves over to the US where Aldrich Potgieter won a play-off for the Rocket Classic. There's a word on Padraig Harrington's senior major win, some latest news, and then previews of a busy week including Open Championship qualifying.Sign up for our newsletter here: https://tinyurl.com/slicednewsletter

After that there's bonus quiz content, a spin around last week's other events including Minjee Lee's latest major win, news of a new man at the helm on the PGA Tour, and Wyndham Clark's attempt to apologise and what it means for Ben's TGL allegiances.

Ben and Sam reflect on a dramatic US Open where JJ Spaun finished birdie-birdie to beat Robert MacIntyre by two. They go through all of the contenders and wonder whether Adam Scott's chance to double his tally has been and gone, while there's also discussion of Oakmont and the challenge it presented throughout the week. Among the non-contenders the pair chat Rory McIlroy and Wyndham Clark, Ben presents a Signature Event solution, and Sam reveals a Novak nugget plus what his favourite Danish lefty was up to last week.Sign up for our newsletter here: https://tinyurl.com/slicednewsletter
Ben and Sam are on hand to preview the US Open from Oakmont Country Club, considered by many to be the toughest golf course in America. The trouble is, this is Sliced, and that means more than just the highest level of men's professional golf, so it does take our duo a good half an hour to get onto all the important business of winning a major championship. Before then it's Ryan Fox, TV coverage, Connor Syme, LIV merch out in the wild, and sleep deprivation.Sign up for our newsletter here: https://tinyurl.com/slicednewsletter
Ben and Sam are back to heap praise on Scottie Scheffler after yet another imperious display at the Memorial.
