McKellar Golf Podcast #135 The Rory McIlroy Bounce

This week Geoff Shackelford and Lawrence Donegan take at explaining the apparent comeback by the PGA Tour - terrific TV ratings,and the continuing descent of LIV into golfing irrelevance - and conclude it's all down to the Rory bounce. There also a look ahead to this week's event at Philadelphia Cricket Club , the weird DPWT event just announced at Trump International in Scotland. Who is paying for that? Not Donald, we bet.
