This episode of the Sky Sports Golf Podcast is brought to you by Quantum Irons from Callaway.
He's finally done it, where his grand slam is complete. Champion golfer of the year, Scotty Scheffler.
Europe have retained the Ryder Cup in the most dramatic afternoon here in the Big Apple. Hello and welcome to the Sky Sports Golf Podcast brought to you by Callaway. Tottenham have avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth. Yes, I know it's a golf podcast, but I just wanted to crowbar that in early doors. Let's draw a line under that shambles of a season onwards and upwards. In the world of golf, Wyndham Clark shoots a final round 60 to win in Texas. There's an extremely emotional farewell to a European tour legend on home soil in Belgium. More details begin to emerge about a restructured PGA Tour announcement and contract negotiations on live. And Bryson says the moon landing video is fake. Just a standard week in golf.
Delighted to say I'm joined by a man who's won at the old course at St. Andrews, successfully defended the Dubai Desert Classic, a Walker Cup winner, and the only European golfer since 2006 to have won a Ryder Cup on home soil, Stephen Gallagher. How are things, Stevie? I'm all good, Jamie. Thanks, pal. Yep. Enjoying the sunshine anyway. I know. It was glorious up there with you, I'm told.
Yeah, 26 degrees, which is a factor of 60 for me, I'm afraid. I've got to still watch.
Wow, 26 degrees in Scotland. Whatever next. And loving life now on the Legends Tour, Stevie. Is that right?
It's a bit quieter. You know, I've not got a few tournaments just now, but it's fantastic. The standard's still phenomenal. Yeah, you know, good to be back with old pals that you first got on tour with and you spent a lot of time with. So it's very enjoyable.
Played a couple of times in the States this year. You're running up to Jamie Donaldson in Marbella and your most recent tournament, a fourth place finish in, wait for it folks, Barbados. I mean, that sounds like a really tough week, that.
Yeah, I must admit, we go to some phenomenal places.
What were the highlights of Wyndham Clark's victory at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson?
Apes Hill, Barbados, Costa Navarino, Cambodia, Mauritius. It's pretty fun times.
Yeah, I'm not a particularly well-travelled golfer. Most of my golf has been either in the UK or in Europe, but I have actually played Apes Hill. It is some spot, isn't it?
How did Nicolas Colsaerts' farewell impact the golf community?
A really proper golf course. It's stunning. When you get on top of the hill, you can see both oceans. Barbados is quite a small place. And Woozie, of course, he's the host there and he's a brilliant host.
What changes are being proposed for the PGA Tour in 2028?
Legend of a man as well. So it's great to spend some time with these guys.
You touched upon it there as well. Next up, Costa Navarino in Greece. So for those who don't know, I mean, this is pretty special as well. Oli hosts this one, doesn't he?
Yeah, it's a brilliant golf course. You fly into a certain old military airport, Kalamata, and the complexes are just five star from the word go.
Will the PGA Tour create a two-tier system for players?
There's four golf courses. We play two of them. The hotels are great. The weather's great. Yeah. Yeah, it's just a really, really good week. The food's phenomenal as well, so it's a proper chilled-out week. In a buggy, shorts, three rounds. What's not to like about that, eh?
I know it's obviously hugely competitive because that's just the way professional sportsmen are wired, but it must be great crack.
It is, and you spend the last five years. Fortunately, I played up until I was 50, but... It gets tough, you know, the fall of time calls on you a little bit and it gets tough when you turn 50 and you go on the seniors tour, you're now the youngster. And then you've got a chance of winning again and competing again, which is, it gets the juices flowing, it gets you practising again. And it's just evolution, isn't it? It's just you get a bit too old, the young boys start bombing it and... Now we're back with the older boys that you grew up with and you went to tour schools with and you played amateur with and stuff like that. So it's really, it's been great to touch base with a lot of my old mates.
And do they enjoy a few scoops in the evening as well?
