Travis Smyth is back on Tee It Up — and plenty has happened since we last caught up.

Another win. LIV Golf call-ups. A top 10. Major championship golf. And now, a return to The Open.

Travis takes us inside his dramatic International Series Japan victory, including a final-round 64 and eagle at the last to win by one.

We chat about his return to LIV Golf, playing alongside Bryson DeChambeau and the Crushers, why he now knows he can compete at that level and just how badly he wants a full-time LIV spot.

Then it's all eyes on Royal Birkdale.

Three years on from his unforgettable hole-in-one at Royal Liverpool, Travis reflects on what he learnt from his first Open Championship and why he's heading back to major championship golf as a completely different player.

A great chat with one of Australian golf's in-form players.

Enjoy!

Cam John is heading to his first Major Championship!

After climbing from World No. 1004 to 241 and qualifying for The Open through the Singapore Open, Cam joins Q ahead of his debut at Royal Birkdale.

We chat about the build-up, what he's worked on with Dennis McDade, Ben Crowe's influence, Matty Howell on the bag, impending fatherhood, equipment and his goals for the biggest week of his career.

A genuine chance? We reckon so. 🇦🇺🏆

The final men's major of 2026 has arrived.

Q is joined by Johnny Tan and Ryan Lynch to preview The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.

The boys break down the course, the players built to handle links golf and the biggest storylines heading into golf's oldest championship.

We take a deep dive into the Australians in the field, including Cam Smith, Min Woo Lee, Jason Day, Adam Scott, Lucas Herbert, Travis Smyth and Cameron John.

Plus — who is the best player in the world without a major?

We finish with our Open predictions: winner, best Australian, surprise top 10, biggest disappointment, first-round leader and winning score.

The Claret Jug is on the line. It's Open Championship week.

Just 12 months after becoming a major champion, Australia's Grace Kim returns to the Amundi Evian Championship with a very different perspective—as the defending champion.

On this episode of Tee It Up, Grace reflects on what the past year has really been like, from the moment her Evian victory finally sank in to how winning a major has changed her confidence, career and life on the LPGA Tour.

We also look ahead to this week's championship in France, discussing what it's like returning to the scene of her biggest victory, whether defending brings added pressure, how she rates her 2026 season so far, and what she's working on as she chases another major.

Plus, Grace shares plenty of behind-the-scenes insights into life on Tour, the close-knit Australian contingent, her favourite stops around the world and the goals she's set for the rest of the season.

A relaxed, honest conversation with one of Australia's brightest golfing stars as she prepares to defend her major title.
