Talking Golf in Europe - The DP World Tour and the Ladies European Tour

We're Talking Golf

As we kick off a new Golf Season for 2022, change is afoot in Europe. The European Tour rebrands itself the DP World Tour, increasing prize money across the board for its players. The Ladies European Tour (LET) is fresh off of a thrilling Solheim Cup performance and appears to be in the ascendancy from years previous.
Joining us is our special guest Richard Kaufman, the SkySports golf commentator covering both the DP World Tour and the LET. In this episode, we discuss the increasing money that is coming into Golf, and particularly the men's game from Saudi Arabia. Potential Ryder Cup captains are also a topic for discussion as Richard runs down his list of potential candidates for Captain of the European team, including Luke Donald, Paul Lawrie, Henrik Stenson, Lee Westwood and others.
On the women's side, we look at the abundance of young talented players coming through the ranks in European golf with players such as Pia Babnik, Chiara Noja, and Lily May Humphries among others. There are some compelling story lines from other players such as Becky Brewerton and Julia Engstrom as they look to rebound from injuries to recapture their form and their status on the LET.
