    BONUS EPISODE: Top 20 surprise major winners (of the 21st century...)
    Jun 26 2026
    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...

    Clark wins US Open, crowd behaviour, Niemann penalty, Burns close, Woad close, mistaken identity, DPWT return
    Jun 22 2026
    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.

    US Open preview, Shinnecock, Canadian Open, Bud Cauley, Phil Mickelson, Australian Open, LIV funding
    Jun 15 2026
    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.

  • BONUS EPISODE: Top 20 players without a major championship

    BONUS EPISODE: Top 20 players without a major championship
    Jun 12 2026
    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.

  • Chacarra doubles up in Dutch, Poston delivers, Hull of a close call as Korda wins again, LIV 'majors', Aus Open

    Chacarra doubles up in Dutch, Poston delivers, Hull of a close call as Korda wins again, LIV 'majors', Aus Open
    Jun 8 2026
    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.

    BONUS EPISODE: Top 20 in... 45: Ranking the National Opens
    Jun 5 2026
    We've got another bonus episode for our subscribers and it's the first in a series, if you want it to be a series, as we rank the top 20 national opens. Why does one word in the title see one event punished? How much does the course rotation influence things? What has Flory Van Donck have to do with it all? Should one of them be a major? Should two of them sit back-to-back? And, above all else, which national opens make the illustrious top five in this first ever edition of a thing we just invented? Find out by listening, make it something by sharing, and shape future episodes by commenting. See you on Monday.

    Jun 1 2026
    The jingles are back but we say farewell to the Highest Bidder scoreboard at the end of today's episode of Sliced. Before all that, we start in Austria with a thriller in the mountains, Kota Kaneko's first DP World Tour win, positive words for two youngsters, and a what if for one Portuguese veteran. Then it's over to Colonial and a what if for Eric Cole, who looked set to win before Russell Henley putted like he did at the very start of his career and stole the Charles Schwab title. After reflecting on that we talk the latest on the PGA Tour schedule for 2027 and what it means for some great courses, plus how LIV Golf binned a key broadcast feature in Korea. This week's trip around the world of golf asks what we might expect of the KLM Open and forces us to sort of rank the Signature Events, but the star is the US Women's Open where Riviera should help draw even more viewers in.

  • Sterne stunner, Clark's putting masterclass, Scheffler latest, Bryson's career 'dilemma', Straka goes home

    Sterne stunner, Clark's putting masterclass, Scheffler latest, Bryson's career 'dilemma', Straka goes home
    May 25 2026
    Sliced sticks to the schedule on a Bank Holiday Monday, but there's a price: this is, we're sorry to say, a jingle-free episode. That and other technical issues aside, we're on hand to reflect on Sam's wonderful weekend away and Richard Sterne's stunning Soudal triumph, and how tough it will have been for his compatriot, Zander Lombard. We talk Wyndham Clark's putting masterclass and discuss where we are with Scottie Scheffler, before we question whether there's more than one person in the world who sees Bryson DeChambeau's PGA Tour vs YouTube dillemma as a dilemma. The proposed PGA Tour model is also covered before the world of golf this week takes us to Austria and a homecoming for Sepp Straka, while Ben notes a fun angle at Colonial where Ludvig Aberg is the star turn.
