Show notes

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.

David Duval - Tales of The Open May 18, 2021

Show notes

Telling some of the greatest stories in golf and in sports with ten new Original Documentaries. This week on The Open Podcasts is the story of David Duval, one of the most dominant figures in modern professional golf, even if just for a handful of years.

A world number one during Tiger Woods' dominance at the turn of the millennium, Duval won 11 PGA Tour events in 18 months, and 20 events around the world, before suffering innumerable injuries that ended his competitiveness at 30-years-old. However, a truly brilliant player in his day, Duval was able to capture a very special Championship indeed during his window of success, winning the Claret Jug at The 130th Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes.

Through colour commentary, narration from Shane O'Donoghue and Duval's own insight and friendly candour, we relive the career of one of golf's good guys, in this Original Documentary from The Open.

Mark Roe - Tales of The Open May 11, 2021

Show notes

Perhaps no golfer in history can more legitimately ask the question, 'what if‘, than Mark Roe.

One of golf's most colourful and eccentric characters, Roe had a good career on the European Tour, but in 2003, at Roe's favourite event, his time in the spotlight was cut short all too quickly.

With narration from Shane O'Donoghue, as well as humility, humour and candour from Roe on one of the most famous rules incidents in golfing history, relive a fascinating career in this edition of Tales of The Open.

The Story of 1984 - Original Documentary May 04, 2021

Seve's incredible victory at St Andrews in The 113th Open, beating five-time Open Champion Tom Watson over the final two holes, became the stuff of legend, and helped immortalise Ballesteros as one of the greatest Open Champions, and one of the most beloved golfers in history.

With contributions from Seve himself, speaking in 2005, alongside Tom Watson, Bernhard Langer, Ian Baker-Finch and narrator Sam Torrance, relive The Story of 1984 in this Original Documentary from The Open.

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

Greg Norman - Tales of The Open Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

One of the finest golfers of the 1980s and 1990s, Greg Norman could reach levels of golf that few others have ever matched.

Narrated by Shane O'Donoghue and with input from Norman himself, enjoy this feature-length Original Documentary from The Open.
