Michael and Ben discuss that on the latest (sleep-deprived) episode of The Ryder Cup Commute.

There’sm praise for Jon Rahm, criticism for some of Keegan Bradley’s decision-making, and disappointment in the subdued atmosphere.

(Plus, some obligatory thoughts on Bryson…)

Well, now. We’ve got something rather special for you today.

Here to run the rule over the 2025 Ryder Cup Opening Ceremony is none other than… Mr Alex Perry!

Alex joins Michael at Bethpage to reflect on how both captains - Luke Donald and Keegan Bradley - fared at the Opening Ceremony.

Did Luke make the right call with his money digs? How badly did Keegan blunder with his Justin Rose / Justin Leonard faux-pas?

The guys discuss all of that and more on today’s ep.

It’s another huge week in golf which means it’s time for another series of ‘Commutes’ from The bunkered Podcast.

Michael McEwan is in New York state for this week’s Ryder Cup match at Bethpage and, on today’s episode, he’s joined by bunkered’s senior writer Ben Parsons to discuss their early impressions of the golf course and the surrounding set-up.

The guys also get into the biggest talking point of the week so far: the $500k payments to each American player and their captain Keegan Bradley. Is this, as Ben puts it, an “unfathomable mistake” for the hosts to have made?

Tune-in now and every day this week!

It’s that time again! The 44th Ryder Cup is almost upon us - but who’s going to leave Bethpage with the trophy?

Michael, James and Lewis discuss that and much more on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.

As well as picking a winner, the guys also try to predict who some of the pairings may be and weigh up exactly just how abusive the home fans might be.

Elsewhere, Michael has launched the Hole In None Club and there’s a chance to win limited-edition clothing from Under Armour.

Another Walker Cup, another US win. Last weekend made it five in a row for the ‘Stars and Stripes’.

So is it time for the match to get a Ryder Cup-style shake-up? Or maybe enlist the support of some of the game’s best-known pros? Michael, James and Lewis discuss on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.

Elsewhere, there’s reaction to Rory’s win in Ireland and a warning to fans, as well as news of another tour pro’s premature retirement.

Oh, and Michael would like to apologise to Ryan Fox in advance.

Okay, so here it is. We now know the 12 players who will represent Europe in the forthcoming Ryder Cup, with captain Luke Donald naming six picks to go with the half-dozen who qualified automatically for his side. But did he get those decisions right?

Michael, James and Lewis debate that on this week’s episode of The bunkered Podcast.

Who was the most contentious decision? Who might still withdraw from the match? Which players have the most legitimate case to be miffed at missing out? And is the European Tour less valuable in a Ryder Cup context than ever.

Tune-in to hear what the guys think about all this and more.

So, Keegan Bradley will NOT become the Ryder Cup’s first playing captain in more than 60 years. The US skipper has opted not to give himself one of his six picks for the upcoming match at Bethpage.

But is that the right call?

Michael, James and Lewis debate that decision and weigh up the merits of those he did pick… and those he didn’t.

Elsewhere, what’s next for Tommy Fleetwood now that he’s finally a PGA Tour winner and what convinced Lewis to heckle Luke Donald at the Scottish Open?
