Episode 3246: It’s Major Week For McIlroy At His Favourite Course, The Bryson Threat, Jim Ratcliffe’s Bilbao BBQ
Last month, we all felt that anything that happens to Rory McIlroy after his Masters win will feel like an anti-climax. But here we are, in the week of the second major of the year, and… is that pressure piling on the shoulders of the new Grand Slam champ?
Malachy Clerkin is in studio to talk to us about why Rory is so dominant at Quail Hollow, the venue of this week’s PGA Championship, why Rory can now swing for the fences… and why Bryson DeChambeau will probably win.

We also discuss Man United’s plans for a celebratory BBQ, Jim Ratcliffe’s morale-boosting staff ticket allocation for the Europa League final; and a new book written by a Second Captains world service member that meshes nicely with the action in Charlotte this weekend.
Plus there’s Ken’s columns in the year 2082 and Scottie Scheffler doing hard time.
Netflix has released a new look at Scottie Scheffler’s arrest during the 2024 PGA Championship.
