Tee It Up Golf Podcast

Just 12 months after becoming a major champion, Australia's Grace Kim returns to the Amundi Evian Championship with a very different perspective—as the defending champion.

On this episode of Tee It Up, Grace reflects on what the past year has really been like, from the moment her Evian victory finally sank in to how winning a major has changed her confidence, career and life on the LPGA Tour.

We also look ahead to this week's championship in France, discussing what it's like returning to the scene of her biggest victory, whether defending brings added pressure, how she rates her 2026 season so far, and what she's working on as she chases another major.

Plus, Grace shares plenty of behind-the-scenes insights into life on Tour, the close-knit Australian contingent, her favourite stops around the world and the goals she's set for the rest of the season.

A relaxed, honest conversation with one of Australia's brightest golfing stars as she prepares to defend her major title.

This week on the Tee It Up Podcast, Q and Johnny wrap up another huge week across the golfing world.

We break down Michael Hollick's incredible first DP World Tour victory after holing an eagle on the final hole to win the BMW International Open, plus the remarkable journey that almost saw him walk away from professional golf altogether.

We also look at another strong week for Australia's Kelsey Bennett, who finished runner-up on the Ladies European Tour, while Spain's Carolina Chacarra claimed her maiden LET title.

Over in the US, Chris Gotterup continued his outstanding form, Padraig Harrington added another senior major championship to his incredible resume, and we discuss Mike Woodard setting a new world record for consecutive hours of golf played.

Then we turn our attention to two massive events this week — the Amundi Evian Championship, the fourth women's major of the year, and the Genesis Scottish Open, the final tune-up before The Open Championship. We preview both tournaments, discuss the leading Australians, and make our tournament picks.

Plus, a quick look at the ISCO Championship and a few updates ahead of the Tee It Up Charity Golf Day.
