All Things Lorena Ochoa

Hannah Green wins the HSBC Women's World Championship for her first victory in almost 500 days. Green came out on top of a stacked field in Singapore and plotted her way around a difficult Sentosa Golf Club. Meg and Matthew talk about why she flies under the radar despite her loaded resume and praise the current form of Aussie women's golf. They also discuss Auston Kim, a recurring guest on The Mixed Bag this year, and her impressive second place finish. A look ahead at the Blue Bay LPGA comes next, and the episode wraps with a discussion on non-Jeeno storylines at the majors.

Jeeno Thitikul came home to Thailand and delivered a win in front of friends, family, and thousands of diehard fans. Meg and Matthew chat with Sophie Walker of Sky Sports about following Jeeno all four days at the Honda LPGA Thailand. Sophie talks about Jeeno's sensible play, how she managed the demands of a pressure packed week, and what this win could mean for the quest for her first major. Sophie will be onsite at this week's HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore, and the trio wraps the episode with a preview of "Asia's Major."

Kevin Van Valkenburg joins Matthew and Meg to take us deep into the career of Hall of Famer Lorena Ochoa. From her humble beginnings in Guadalajara to her major breakthrough at St. Andrews, Ochoa left her mark on the sport and continues to impact thousands in Mexico. Reminiscing about one of the most loved players in Tour history gave us all a better appreciation for her accomplishments. Before Kevin joins the episode, Matthew and Meg recap Charley's victory in Riyadh and preview this week's action in Thailand.

Our first episode with recurring guest Auston Kim is here! We talk with her about how she spent her offseason, dealing with new expectations, and what events she's looking forward to as the new season gets underway. Meg and Matthew also preview the LET's season opener, the PIF Saudi Ladies International, where Auston will be teeing it up. Want more about Auston? Check out our episode with her last summer after her runner up finish at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship and follow her on Instagram @austonkim.

Nelly Korda has won the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. Somehow, someway, that's not the story of the LPGA's season opener. Meg and Matthew discuss Nelly's winless streak ending, and spend plenty of time talking about what makes an "optimal competitive environment", Lake Nona and its "prestige shape", and all other sorts of nonsense that made up a weekend to forget. On the back half of the episode, they answer a variety of listener questions about the new season, their favorite swings, and much more.

The start of the LPGA season is upon us! What better way to get ready to kick things off than tiering all of the courses the tour will visit this year. Matthew takes the reins on slotting these courses into a variety of categories taking inspiration from colleague Joseph LaMagna's annual PGA Tour course tiers. He and Meg also recap the news from last week including a big hire for Craig Kessler as well as preview the first tournament of the year, the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions.

No big deal here, just Hall of Famer Juli Inkster joining Meg and Matthew on today's episode. Juli played and participated in the LPGA's 75th Anniversary Pro-Am last week at Pebble Beach and shares stories from reuniting with fellow legends of the game. They chat about Solheim Cup memories and what it takes to win overseas, what she remembers about winning the U.S. Women's Open at 42, and how she almost made the cut last year in Portland. Juli can tell a tale like none other, and it was a blast getting to reminisce with her.

If there's one thing The Mixed Bag does right, it's predictions! Meg and Matthew welcome Claire Rogers to the pod and get all of their prognostications for the upcoming LPGA season on the record. Claire wears many hats in the golf media world as the Director of Social Media at GOLF and Digital Host at TGL. She brings a humorous angle and fresh view to her coverage of the game, and we were very excited to get her thoughts on the 2026 season.

Before we fully move on from the 2025 season, Meg and Matthew wanted to bring back their interviews with major winners Maja Stark, Minjee Lee, and Grace Kim. The Mixed Bag was thrilled to have each of these champions on the show shortly after their victories, and these conversations were a highlight of the podcast's first year. Enjoy the trip down memory lane!

The golf may be sleepy, but The Mixed Bag is bringing the entertainment with longtime LPGA caddie Olly Brett. Meg, Matthew, and Olly cover all the bases chatting about how he teamed up with Rose Zhang, stories from Solheim Cups, and his thoughts on how the LPGA sets up courses. Enjoy the banter and laughs with one of the Tour's best characters.
