Sliced Golf Podcast

We're back with another bonus top 20 and this time the question is: who are the most surprising major winners this century? It took a little while to refine this list and in the end we eliminated anyone who went on to bag another, plus a certain surprise Masters champion whose subsequent career has been blighted by injury. There's talk of a 750/1 winner in the women's game, some who were playing in their very first major, and the man who tamed the Tiger... and that's before we get to number one.
When you've listened, please tell us what top 20 you'd like to be next...

Sliced begins with analysis of the US Open, hitting all the key talking points: two majors for Wyndham Clark, his defiance of some crowd abuse, Sam Burns' putter failing him when he needed it, Scottie Scheffler making some uncharacteristic mistakes, and Joaquin Niemann being named the moral winner after a two-stroke penalty for a code of conduct violation. After that we spin through a tough near-miss for Lottie Woad and a hard-fought win for John Catlin, before talking PGA Tour schedule, Ryder Cup data, a future event in Oslo and a case of mistaken identity in our new feature. This week's Open d'Italia presents a tough decision regarding one of the favourites while we spend precisely as much time on the Travelers as is necessary i.e. very little. Hazeltine and the latest women's major just about rounds off the world of golf this week before a Highest Bidder where, really, there were no winners.

It's a massive week in the world of golf and the US Open takes up a good chunk of the podcast, but Sliced is about more than the majors so before we get to Shinnecock, you can expect: Bud Cauley's Canada win and how great it was to see him complete a remarkable journey; Jesper Svensson's improved second try at the PGA Tour; Matt Fitzpatrick's ideal prep; how the big names keep flattering to deceive; golf in Czechia;  Julian Perico; Taichi Kho, Bubba Watson; the Australian Open and the PGA Tour and what that could and should mean; Jackson Koivun and high expectations; LIV Golf, shotgun starts and funding for the rest of the year; the Rocket Classic needs a new sponsor; Phil Mickelson.

Then and only then are we ready to discuss the US Open at Shinnecock.

We've got another bonus episode for our subscribers and we're officially making it a series now, as we follow last week's top 20 national opens with another. This time we're asking, who are the best active players without a major championship win to their names? Yes, we do somewhat stretch the definition of active to ensure one surly Scot takes his place but where exactly does he fit in? Which current member of the elite charts highest? And which LPGA player does Ben regret not including? As ever, let us know who you think we missed and where we got our rankings wrong. Please also let us know what you'd like us to rank next.

We're back to relive some thrilling finishes across the world of professional golf at the weekend, starting with Eugenio Chacarra's one-shot win in the KLM Open where he took a big step towards realising his PGA Tour dream. JT Poston enjoyed a dream handshake with Mr Nicklaus when winning the Memorial after a gutsy recovery, while Nelly Korda denied Charley Hull her dream major breakthrough but only just, after a nervy putt on the 72nd hole at Riviera. New dad Tyrrell Hatton is back to winning ways and also gets a mention along with reports of LIV's 2027 plans including 'team majors', while we reflect on good news for the Australian Open and what that could mean for Jon Rahm. No DP World Tour golf this week means the world of golf is a bit quieter but that gives us time to get into the Canadian Open, before a tough question from a regular contributor in Highest Bidder.
