🗣️ Rory McIlroy has explained why he was "p****d off" at last month's PGA Championship.
(And why he didn't speak to the media)

It's been a while since there have been any ramblings, so here's some thoughts on Rory McIlroy.
Specifically, the fascinating, terrifying, tantalising prospect of 'next'.

On the day we were founded...
Nick Price was the world No.1, Ben Crenshaw was the most recent major champion, Tiger Woods was still an amateur, and Rory McIlroy was a six-year-old with a washing machine for a training aid.
John Major was the UK prime minister. Bill Clinton was in the Oval Office
What started as a "Scottish golf magazine" has evolved into a multi-platform golf media brand from Scotland, and is not just going strong, but is stronger than ever.
on.
We've flown blimps, dressed up as 'Marty Mag', hosted clubhouse fashion shows, and so much more.
Happy birthday to us! 🎂🎉🎊
On this day 30 years ago (May 31, 1995), Pro Sports Promotions Ltd was incorporated and work began on the first edition of bunkered.
That's right, we're older than Scottie Scheffler!

Okay, let’s give this thing another go.
Anybody here?
Is this thing still a thing? 🤷🏼♂️

I really wanted to love TGL but the whole thing seemed like the kind of birthday party you could imagine Tiger throwing for himself.

Thanks, as always, to everybody who has read my ramblings this year. Here's wishing you and yours a very happy new year and all the very best for 2025.

6. Going inside the Big Yellow Scoreboard at The Open was a total shot in the dark and could have been a big, fat nothingburger. Instead, I found one of my favourite stories - and views - of the year.

5. Happy Gilmore 2 is coming in 2025. I caught up with one of the stars of the original - Happy's Waterbury Open caddie - to hear how he turned his back on Hollywood to become an Ivy League professor. Yes, really.

4. Coastal erosion is a very real and present danger to golf courses all around the country. Fortunately, some have already started taking measures to mitigate... and it's just as well.

3. Isaiah Mwesige has overcome unimaginable setbacks to bring golf to Uganda. He is a complete inspiration.

2. Ask anybody who works in golf and they'll all tell you the same thing: Justin Ray is one of their favourite follows on social media. The guy is the oracle of golf stats. I caught up with him in March to find out how he does what he does.

1. Javier Ballesteros is a fantastic guy and a wonderful ambassador for his family. His dad, one suspects, would be immensely proud of him. Meeting up with him at Troon in July was a total pleasure.

I appreciate this is horribly self-indulgent but with the clock running out on 2024, I wanted to share seven pieces that I'm particularly proud of from the last 12 months.
If they help you pass the time between now and 2025, so much the better!

This is a magnificent sight, John. Love it.

Devastated to learn that Scott Stewart passed away yesterday. He was a quite remarkable man who fought the cruellest of diseases with courage, vitality and vigour. Thoughts are with his family and friends at this desperately sad time.
His story: www.bunkered.co.uk/golf-news/sc...
O! say does that star-spangled Banner yet wave, O’er the Land of the free and the home of the brave?
The answer to that, it seems, will cost you.

With Caird Park in Dundee soon to close, I spent the morning visiting the remains of three golf courses all-but-abandoned by Glasgow City Council in recent years
What I found was grim, concerning and genuinely quite upsetting.
