About

Welcome back to the Full Program Golf Podcast. Episode 31 takes a deep dive into an unforgettable week at Augusta, breaking down all the biggest moments and storylines from the Masters.

We start with Rory McIlroy finally getting it done and what that win means for his legacy, before turning to Justin Rose, who produced four rounds under par but still fell just short. There was plenty of drama along the way, including Sergio Garcia’s tee box meltdown, while players like Fleetwood, Reed and Li all faded when it mattered most. We also look at the disappointing performances from Rahm and Bryson, alongside the broader struggles from LIV players, with Hatton the only one finishing inside the top 30, and try to make sense of where it went wrong.

Beyond the leaderboard, we get into some of the bigger questions around the week, including whether Augusta National truly is the best tournament course in the world. We also discuss what the perfect viewing strategy would be if you had a ticket, which single shot you would choose to hit on the entire course, and what your ideal Masters pro shop shopping list would look like.

There are plenty of other talking points covered too, from Fred Ridley being a seriously good golfer, to a mixed bag in our betting review. We also break down Scottie Scheffler’s remarkable bogey-free weekend, the first time it has ever been done at the Masters, and Shane Lowry adding yet another hole-in-one to his growing collection on some of the game’s most iconic par threes.
