Ep1: No Way That LIV Golf Players Should Return to the PGA

The first episode of 'Talk Birdie To Me', a new podcast looking at what's been going on this week in golf around the world. Hosted by tour pro's Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen.

If you love golf, you'll love this podcast. It's a mix of news, inside information, tips and tricks and a few fun stories from Nick and Mark's golf careers.

This week the boys talk about LIV Golf, arguably the biggest story in the golf world: the drop in rankings of Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau; whether LIV Golf should contribute to world ranking points and if players who have gone to LIV Golf should be allowed to return to the PGA.

We hear about the time Tiger Woods asked Nick O'Hern in Miami 'what the f**k are you doing here', and why he said it. Tiger is a big topic this week, with him playing this week in the Genesis Invitational, the boys look at his odds, and whether he has a realistic chance. And with Tiger rejecting an $800m offer to join LIV Golf, Mark reveals his inside info on the number of tournaments Tiger was required to play to earn that cash.

Mark lists his Top 5 Golfers who have extraordinary ability but poor swings - he doesn't miss 'em, particularly Scottie Scheffler!

And the boys talk about the Vic Open last weekend and the great performance of Jiyai Shin to win the tournament, and Mark claims that Elvis Smylie was bullied into the drop at the weekend after he hit a hosel rocket.

And each show ends with our Masterclass segment where Nick and Mark analyse something great, or bad, and break down how and why it happened. This week Mark analyses how Jiyai Shin controlled the spin into the wind in her great performance at the weekend.
