Thank you to this week's sponsor, Fujikura. All 4 men’s Majors in 2025 and the first men’s major of 2026 were won with a Fujikura VENTUS shaft in their driver - which is the first time ANY company has done this. The new TR Red, Black & Blue shafts are now fully launched on tour to complete the VENTUS TR Collection.

The three shafts have different profiles to suit your needs. Red offers mid to high launch & mid to low spin, Blue offers mid launch & low spin and Black offers low spin & low launch. The VENTUS TR collection has been upgraded with VeloCore+ technology for increased control of the club through your swing and reorientation of spread tow material in the mid-handle section which allows the shaft to keep up with golfers that have a more aggressive swing transition. Now, there are even more options to get the perfect fit with the tour-trusted VENTUS shafts. Visit fujikuragolf.com to learn more and find an authorized Fujikura charter dealer near you.

In this week's episode, Baz is joined by Matt and Elliott to discuss Wyndham Clark's gutsy wire-to-wire win at the US Open, the questionable behaviour of certain fans at Shinnecock Hills, our thoughts on conduct rules being enforced and whether bunkers should be playable or perfect!

We also preview the KPMG Women's PGA Championship and the Travelers Championship, offering our best bets for the week and an update on the GM Tipster challenge.

Next episode we will be introducing our 'ask the pod' section of the show, so please drop us a line with any questions or comments you have on anything golf-related to golfmonthly@futurenet.com and we will read out the best ones on air.
