The complete Masters debrief
#189
Last Friday at 3:29 PM

Michael, Bryce and Alex sit down to pick at the bones of the 2024 Masters Tournament. 

Is Scottie Scheffler boring? Why Amen Corner is the greatest stretch in golf. How many majors is Ludvig going to win? Does Rory need a new caddie? Plus so much more. 

Elsewhere, there’s chat about Rory’s rumoured move to LIV (what a load of nonsense) and golf’s TV trouble. 

The guys also play a golf version of ‘snog, marry, avoid’ and somehow end up getting Hideki Matsuyama on the Aftershocks...

The stage is set for a truly thrilling Masters Sunday... and what better way to start it than by tuning in to the penultimate episode of the Masters Commute from The bunkered Podcast. 

Michael and Alex break down a spectacular Saturday at Augusta National and set the scene for a potentially epic final round. 

Can anybody stop Scottie Scheffler? Will Collin Morikawa complete the third leg of the career grand slam? What should we make of Tiger’s 82? How far back is too far back? 

The guys discuss all of that and take your...

Strap in as Michael and Alex recap one of the most extraordinary second rounds in Masters history.

Day 1 of the 2024 Masters is in the books and, with some players still to complete their first rounds, Bryson DeChambeau leads the way by one from 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler.  

Our men in Augusta, Michael and Alex, reflect on a compelling start to the tournament.  

Should be surprised by Bryson’s start? What to make of Rory McIlroy’s one-under start? Is Jon Rahm’s title defence already over? Is Tiger Woods rolling back the years? And exactly HOW MUCH did Michael spend on a Masters-themed American football in the merch shop?! 

It’s all here! T...

The waiting is almost over... it’s time for the 2024 Masters to begin! 

Well, whenever the rain allows it to, that is! Michael and Alex have a rather grim weather update to start today’s Masters Commute. The bad news? It’s going to be wet on Thursday. The good news? The rest of the week looks a whole lot better.  

Elsewhere, there’s chat about Greg Norman’s surprise appearance at the Masters today, Fred Ridley’s extremely interesting presser, and a withering take-down of the Par-3 Contest by Mr Perry. 

All that, plus a na...
