Description
If you could pick one person to try and explain the madness of men’s professional golf, surely Iain Carter would be top of the list.
The BBC’s golf correspondent has enjoyed an unparalleled career – covering all the major tournaments for radio and online – and is the author of a series of best-selling books.
His latest, Golf Wars: LIV and Golf’s Bitter Battle for Power and Identity, bids to make sense of the conflict between the rival tours that has threatened to tear the sport apart.
Iain joins Steve and Tom to discuss his new tome, the internal warfare that is still splitting the game, and we ask where and how it is all going to end.
Iain also talks about The Big Golf Race – Prostate Cancer UK’s drive to raise money for men affected by the disease.
Elsewhere in this episode…
Tom takes Steve’s money after a Players bet showdown (and gloats about it a little bit!)
Steve recounts an epic trip to East Lothian – but which course didn’t quite hit the heights for him?
Will Tom finally prove a birdbrain in this week’s Rules Corner?
