2023 will mark Lee Westwood’s 30th year as a professional and while the game’s Grand Slam titles have eluded him, he has achieved every other measurable milestone in the game. 

At Whistling Straits last year, he matched Sir Nick Faldo’s record for most Ryder Cup appearances with 11 and was one of only three players to win his singles match in an otherwise heavy defeat. 

Westwood has played — and won — all over the world and including the 1997 Australian Open in a play-off over Greg Norman, and been one of the game’s best international ambassadors. 

In this candid and length chat with John Huggan, the Englishman talks about all that as well as perhaps his most controversial career decision to date: playing in the much-maligned Saudi Golf League.

In the final episode of Season 3 of The Open Podcasts, we relive one of the most dramatic golfing weeks in Open Championship history, with The Story of 2002.

The 131st Open at Muirfield had everything. From anticipation of a third straight major for Tiger Woods, to a biblical storm putting an end to those chances. From a birdie fest in the final round to the first and only ever four-way playoff at The Open. From near disaster for Ernie Els, to elation as he finally claimed the Claret Jug.

With narration from Di Dougherty, and contributions from Ernie Els, Ricci Roberts, Thomas Levet, Steve Elkington, Dame Laura Davies and Gary Evans, relive The Story of 2002 in this Original Documentary from The Open.

This episode has been a co-production from The R&A and IMG.

Special guest Sophie Walker, former professional player on the Ladies European Tour and now an analyst with Sky Sports and BBC Five Live joins us to preview golf's very first major of the season.   

The Ladies Professional Golf Association (the LPGA) has its first major championship on April 1 - 4th, 2021.  Held each year at the Dinah Shore Tournament Course at the Mission Hills Resort in Rancho Mirage (Palm Springs, California), it traditionally provides exciting events and the 2020 championship is proof of that.

Reigning Champion, Mirim Lee made an Eagle on the 72nd hole of the tournament to tie two of the LPGA's biggest stars in Brooke Henderson and Nelly Korda.  Lee won the championship on the first playoff hole to produce one of the more stunning finishes in the ANA's history.

This year, she is back to defend against the best players in all of women's golf.   Sophie Walker shares her unique perspective with us as we preview the course, the infamous "Blue Wall", and the players to watch for. 

If you are in a fantasy golf pool, you will definitely not want to miss this episode.
