Episode 30 - With Shinnecock Hills and the U.S. Open just around the corner, the PGA Tour and European Tour this week present the FedEx St Jude Classic and the Shot Clock Masters (don't ask). TPC Southwind is awash with U.S. Open champions in Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson + multi-nearly champions in Phil Mickelson. Henrik Stenson also plays and we will watch these guys with a keen eye to Shinne...

Episode 29 - The podcast may have delivered an each-way return with Jon Rahm last week, but both Francesco Molinari (25/1) and Justin Rose (20/1) proved illusive across the BMW PGA Championship and Fort Worth Invitational. This week the Rolex Series action continues with the 2018 Italian Open being played at the Gardagolf Country Club. It's a course which hasn't been played on the European Tour si...

Episode 27 - A new tournament and a new golf course greet us this week. The European Tour re-visits Belgium for the first time since 2000, with the inaugural Belgian Knockout. It's good to see another European-based event and the Knockout format is like Super 6 on steroids, with a decent enough field. In the United States, one of the longest serving PGA Tour events, the AT&T Byron Nelson moves to...

Episode 26 - The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass annually has the deepest field in world golf. With a packed field of 144 players it's the highest quality field of 2018 and includes all of the World's top 50. The Stadium Course is a Pete Dye design, which is always set to favour no particular style - the best player of the week wins the tournament. However plenty don't like it, with it's whol...

Episode 25 - The Wells Fargo Championship headlines this week as the world's best golfers start to gather in the United States for next week's Players Championship. Hosted again at the classical Quail Hollow where Justin Thomas captured the PGA Championship last August, Quail saw a Tom Fazio re-design prior to the PGA turning it from a long Par 72 to an incredibly long (7,551 yards) Par 71. Qualit...

Episode 24 - The morning after the day before. Si-Woo Kim and Paul Dunne made for painful watching on Sunday as large profit went south with their final round showings. We are not happy! Such is golf betting though and we move forward to the Valero Texas Open on the PGA Tour and the Tropee Hassan II on the European Tour. Now established stop-offs on their respective Tours, both tournaments feature...

Episode 23 - Quite rightly, basking in the glory of their Patrick Reed victory, Barry and Paul are emotional after earning themselves a rather nice pay day. Reed's victory was seemingly underwhelming for the Augusta patrons who undoubtedly wanted Spieth or Fowler to triumph, but Patrick was the deserving champion. It's back to standard PGA Tour action this week with the RBC Heritage from Harbour T...

The guys also talk through their fancies and rationale beh...

Episode 20 - It's World Matchplay time. Players and punters are quite alike with this; some love it and some loave it. 6 of the top 64 in the OWGR aren't in-attendance in Austin, Texas, but naturally we still have a loaded entry list including defending champion Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day and Justin Thomas, who can take the World Number 1 spot. Steve also takes you thro...

Episode 19 (not 18!) - The annual visit to Bay Hill Country Club outside of Orlando, Florida is always a pilgrimage to Arnold Palmer. 2018 will be no different with the likes of Jason Day, Justin Rose, Rickie Fowler, Hideki Matsuyama, Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Henrik Stenson, Bubba Watson and Henrik Stenson in this week's field, you can see the regard that this tournament is h...

Episode 18 - The Valspar Championship headlines this week with Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods all playing the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort, near Tampa in Florida.

The tournament sees a d...

Episode 17 - You know you are getting close to The Masters, when we hit the first World Golf Championship event of the year; the Mexico Championship.

Episode 13 - After Andy Sullivan and Marc Leishman duffed us over on the 72nd holes last week, we move onto Arizona and Malaysia on the endless golf betting trail.

The classical coastal course also sees defending champion Jon Rahm, Rickie Fo...
