Sliced Golf Podcast

Ewen 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
