  • Masters Sunday Recap: Rory McIlroy Makes History By Defending His Green Jacket At Augusta National
    Apr 13 2026

    I want to once again thank our sponsors for this week, Callaway. We’ve just watched four days of world-class golf and the big takeaway is consistency. The players who perform under pressure are the ones who can rely on their equipment, shot after shot. That’s exactly what the Quantum family is built for - drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, iron - the whole lineup - designed to give you more speed, more control and more repeatable performance. Because, while we might not be teeing it up at Augusta anytime soon, we all want to play our own courses a little bit better. So if this week has got you thinking about your game, it’s a great time to explore the Quantum range.

    To find out more, go and visit your local retailer or take a look online at eu.callawaygolf.com.


    Well, there you have it. Rory McIlroy has successfully defended the Green Jacket, becoming only the fourth person in history to do so. After losing a six-shot lead in round three, McIlroy bravely batted to a one-shot victory over World No.1 Scottie Scheffler and once again wrote his name into the history books. In this episode, Joe and I discuss Rory's ability to win without his best game, Scottie Scheffler's incredible weekend, Cam Young's Major chances and Justin Rose's latest attempt to finally get over the line at Augusta National.

  • Masters Day Three Recap: Rory McIlroy Loses Historic Six Shot Lead As Cameron Young Goes Low
    Apr 12 2026

    I want to once again thank our sponsors for this week and give a quick shoutout to Callaway’s Chrome Tour golf balls. This is where everything matters - feel, control, spin, and performance under pressure. The Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X are designed for exactly that. You’ve got exceptional distance off the tee, but also that control and consistency into the greens, especially on those delicate shots around Augusta. And that balance is what we’re seeing from the players in contention, total trust in every part of their game. So whether you’re chasing a personal best or just trying to sharpen up your short game, the Chrome Tour range delivers tour-level performance. To find out more, visit eu.callawaygolf.com.


    One way or another, Rory McIlroy is going to make history at the 2026 Masters Tournament. He will either defend his Green Jacket, becoming only the fourth person to do so, or he will have blown the largest 36-hole lead in Masters history. With plenty of big names in hot pursuit, the final round at Augusta National is promising to be incredibly exciting. In this special daily episode, Joe and I discuss Cameron Young's impressive charge after starting the tournament four-over-par through seven holes, the chances of other Major winners like Justin Rose or Shane Lowry, the professionalism and consistency of Sam Burns and, of course, the lurking presence of the World No.1 Scottie Scheffler on the leaderboard. This is a Masters Tournament that continues to deliver and one you will not want to miss down the stretch on Sunday.

  • Masters Day Two Recap: Rory McIlroy Leads The Way With A Strong Leaderboard In Hot Pursuit
    Apr 11 2026

    Big thanks to this week's sponsor, Callaway. Seeing Augusta this week, it’s obvious how important approach play is to success. Distance control, consistency and giving yourself chances is so important. Now, while the guys out there aren’t gaming these, Callaway’s new Quantum Irons are built for exactly that kind of challenge… for everyday golfers. They’re designed as game improvement irons, which means more forgiveness, more consistency, and helping you hit more greens, especially on those slight misses we all have. So while the pros are dialling it in with precision this week, Quantum Irons are all about helping you bring a bit more of that consistency into your own game. If you’re looking to improve your iron play, they’re definitely worth a look. To find out more, visit eu.callawaygolf.com.


    Well, If you thought the opening day at The Masters was good... day two was truly something else. Rory McIlroy continued to dazzle at Augusta National, with a majestic second round performance stretching his lead, but there is an incredibly strong leaderboard that are going to do their best not to make it easy for him over the weekend. In the second of our Masters daily specials, Joe and I discuss Tyrrell Hatton's impressive 66 powered by a 100% green in regulation success rate, Patrick Reed's sublime short game, Justin Rose's popularity and prowess around Augusta National, Brooks Koepka's chances and plenty more. As we look ahead to the weekend, this Masters Tournament has all the makings of a classic.
