The Golf Asylum Podcast with Ian Fraser

Fresh off the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, the Golf Asylum Podcast dives into one of the most interesting stretches of the PGA Tour season.

The conversation also shifts into golf equipment and why some tour pros are still winning with older drivers. From GT3s and classic TaylorMade heads to shaft debates and fitting philosophy, there’s plenty of gear talk for the golf tech enthusiasts.

They also tackle Bryson DeChambeau’s complicated approach to the game, discussing whether constant experimentation and content creation are helping or hurting his ability to consistently compete at the highest level.

Michael is back from the UK and breaking down one of the best golf trips of his life. From Sunningdale and Wentworth to Royal Porthcawl and St. George’s Hill, the guys dive into the golf courses, clubhouse culture, match formats, and the differences between playing golf in the UK versus North America.
The conversation also shifts into the PGA Championship, Scottie Scheffler’s current form, precision golf versus power golf, and why Aaron Rai’s major win was refreshing to watch. Ian and Michael also get into the current state of golf equipment reviews, the future of TaylorMade’s product cycle, and a fascinating early look at high-lofted fairway woods versus long irons.
