Sky Sports Golf podcast: Is more Americans doing well in 2023, such as Lilia Vu, a concern for Europe?

Is the form of American players a concern for the European side ahead of the Solheim Cup? And thoughts on Tiger Woods’ latest surgery feature in the latest edition of the Sky Sports Golf podcast.

Trish Johnson and Gary Murphy join regular host Josh Antmann to look back on a thrilling first major of the year in the women’s game. Plus a review of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and ISPS Handa Championship, more chat on Tiger Woods and big crowds in Australia.

Our guests give their Chevron Championship review, and thoughts on the new course, while also touching on the small crowds attending, and winner Lilia Vu being the form player of 2023.

They also ask the question as to whether more American players doing well in 2023 is a concern for the European side ahead of the 2023 Solheim Cup, live on Sky Sports Golf this September.

Asked if previous “extreme confidence” in Europe had now changed, Johnson said: “No not at all. Because the more new blood they [USA] have, the harder it’s going to be to a certain extent.

“We’ve got a lot of players who have played before, but our new players are superstars. They might have a few nerves to begin with, but the likes of Linn Grant and Maja Stark, are not going to be fazed.

“Their players, and Lilia [Vu] is different as she’s maybe a class above, but Allisen Corpuz might get in, and if I looked at her and any of our team, I wouldn’t be fazed.

“I think it’s a good thing. The whole thing needs new blood. I just think our team is going to be so strong, and maybe I’ll have egg on my face at the end of it, but I don’t think so.”

Other topics include a Zurich Classic review, and the question is posed as to whether one can enjoy foursomes golf?

The podcast also includes whether the likes of John Daly and David Duval should be allowed in the field, Tiger Woods’ latest surgery, the big LIV Golf event in Australia, a feud between Eddie Pepperell and Richard Bland on Twitter, and a Korea Championship preview.
