Stolen Clubs, Playoff Madness, Rory’s Risky Moves & Linn Grant’s Full-Circle Win | Tee It Up Golf Podcast
This week on the Tee It Up Golf Podcast, Q and McGill break down a massive week across the golfing world — from wild playoffs to emotional breakthroughs and major moments on every tour.
We kick things off in the Hunter Valley, where Chris Wood survived a chaotic four-hole playoff to claim the NSW Open, despite playing the par 5s over par. We unpack the tougher course setup this season and whether it’s the direction Aussie golf needs.
Then it’s over to Dubai, where Matt Fitzpatrick out-lasted Rory McIlroy to win the DP World Tour Championship. McGill dives into Rory’s questionable decision-making down the stretch, while Q highlights Fitzpatrick’s discipline and big-season rating for our Aussie DP World crew.
On the PGA Tour, Adam Schenk finally gets his first win after 242 starts, sealing the Bermuda Championship with a clutch five-footer that changed his career.
In Asia, Thailand’s Ekpharit Wu claims his first title with his wife on the bag, while the Aussies put in a mixed showing.
The LPGA delivered too — Sweden’s Linn Grant put on a clinic at The Annika, going bogey-free for 52 holes and capping off a full-circle moment by winning the event named after Annika Sörenstam. We run through how the Aussies finished and look ahead to the massive CME Tour Championship.
We preview the week ahead including:
• QLD PGA – can Phoenix Campbell go three in a row?
• Asian Tour – a LIV-flavoured Saudi International
• PGA Tour – RSM Classic at windy Sea Island
• LPGA – CME Group Tour Championship with $4M to the winner
Plus your takes on stolen or misplaced golf gear and McGill’s weekly tips to close the show.
