Two men and a Wentworth heartbreak

In the Footsteps of Giants ·

2026/09/22

The DPWT European flagship event at Wentworth is in the books and it was a tournament with an outstanding field that generated real excitement, and a little heartbreak. Martin, Des and Chris discuss how events played out at Wentworth. We also turn our thoughts to the Presidents Cup at Medinah and try to predict the outcome, will Team USA dominate or is this the year the International team deliver on their potential?

Two men and another Solheim success

In the Footsteps of Giants ·

2026/09/15

What a fantastic weekend of golfing drama, with both the Solheim Cup and the Irish Open to enjoy. Kudos to team Europe for winning back the Solheim Cup from team USA and doing it the hard way by winning the singles. Shane Lowry blew away the opposition at Doonbeg to record his second Irish Open Victory and improve an otherwise disappointing season. LIV Golf entered the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process and that enabled some actual insight to the dumpster fire that was their "business model". We l...

Two men and the LIV story (with Alan Shipnuck)

In the Footsteps of Giants ·

2026/08/10

Although the ITFOG team signed off for the summer, the world of golf continues to watch LIV Golf's efforts to raise funding to survive past this season. We will be back with a podcast on their progress in the near future but until then we thought that listening to the story of LIV's origins and the reasons behind it's creation would be of interest to our newer listeners. Therefore, we have edited our chat with renowned journalist and NY Times bestselling author, Alan Shipnuck, as a summer fil...

Today's episode makes no excuses for focusing entirely on a pretty eventful week at the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. The event delivered triumphs and heartaches, arguments and controversies, rulings and reliefs plus a host of associated storylines. In the heat of battle one man took it upon himself to go win it while others faded over the closing stretch. Is Ryan Fox the most relatable winner in recent times? Was Bryson unfairly penalised? Did Scottie get one of the "luckiest" r...
