Tee It Up Golf Podcast

Seventeen years old.
Still an amateur.
And now a professional tour winner.

Amelia Harris joins Tee It Up after one of the most impressive weeks we’ve seen in Australian golf — opening with 69, holding her nerve down the stretch and winning by two against a full professional field.

In this 15-minute interview, Amelia breaks down:

• The momentum shift during the week
• When she realised she could actually win
• The nerves on the closing stretch
• Amateur freedom vs professional pressure
• The one shot she’ll never forget
• Whether this changes the “turning pro” timeline

Composed beyond her years and clear about what’s next — this feels like the beginning of something special.

Seventeen. First pro win.
And we might be replaying this one for a long time.

Anthony Kim has done it.

After years away from the top level, AK storms home at LIV Golf Adelaide and puts not just his name — but LIV itself — firmly back front of mind in world golf.

It’s one of the sporting redemption stories of the modern era.

And while Kim grabbed the individual headlines, the Rippers quietly went about their business again — claiming another team win and looking seriously ominous heading deeper into the season. Depth, composure, and clutch moments when it mattered.

On this episode, Ron “Chopper” joins us to break down:

• How Anthony Kim got it done
• What this win means for LIV’s global narrative
• The turning points across the weekend
• Why the Rippers are building something scary
• Who impressed — and who didn’t
• What it all means heading into the next stop

LIV Adelaide once again proved why it’s one of the biggest weeks in golf.

Subscribe to Tee It Up for full recap, reaction and what’s next.

Q sat down with Sergio Garcia ahead of LIV Golf Adelaide for a wide-ranging conversation on team golf, Ryder Cup greatness, major championships and what continues to drive one of the most passionate competitors the game has ever seen.

As captain of Fireballs GC, Sergio opens up on the identity and culture behind his team, why he’s surrounded himself with fearless young talent, and how their energy has reshaped both the group and his own approach to the game — including reflecting on the Fireballs’ team success in Adelaide last year.

The discussion then turns to the evolving landscape of professional golf, with LIV Golf now receiving world-ranking points, the pathway back into major championships, and why those opportunities are critical for younger players coming through.

Sergio also reflects on his extraordinary Ryder Cup career — the moments, emotions and memories that made him the heartbeat of Team Europe — before looking back on his own major journey, from a teenage debut in 1996 to finally slipping on the Green Jacket at Augusta after years of near misses.

In this episode:


Fireballs GC culture and building a young, fearless team


Captaining in LIV Golf and empowering the next generation


World-ranking points, majors access and what still needs to improve


Ryder Cup stories from the greatest points scorer in history


The Masters breakthrough and one core memory from that week


What still motivates Sergio Garcia today
