Jordan Doull is your Webex Players Series Victoria champion — and what a finish at Rosebud Country Club. After holding a two-shot lead late, Doull made a shocking double bogey on the 17th to bring Cameron John right back into it… before the pair headed to a four-hole sudden-death playoff at 12-under. In this Tee It Up w/ The Winner chat, Jordan breaks down the chaos, the mindset reset, the disciplined 4-iron play in the playoff, and the moment he rolled in the two-metre birdie putt to seal it — while Cameron missed a shorter chance to extend. We also dive into: 🏆 His second Challenger Tour of Australasia win 🧠 The Christmas mindset shift that changed everything 👜 Having partner Kathryn Norris on the bag all week 📈 What this win means for his 2026 season (and the Order of Merit shake-up)

Tee It Up is back for 2026 — and there’s plenty to get through. Q, Johnny and Bradley are joined by David Micheluzzi to unpack Connor McKinney’s dominant Webex Players Series WA win, the Australians locking in LIV Golf spots for 2026, and what it all means moving forward. We also preview the Victorian Open, Dubai Invitational and Sony Open, before outlining what’s coming from Tee It Up this year. 🎙️ Presented by GolfBox Australia’s Home of Golf 👉 https://www.golfbox.com.au

A statement win, start to finish. We break down Connor McKinney’s dominant wire-to-wire victory at the Webex Players Series Perth, where he never looked like being run down. Rounds of 63–68–70–69, a scorching four-hole stretch that included a hole-in-one, birdies and an eagle, and a lead that blew out to eight shots at one point — this was a performance built on momentum, edge, and intent. Feisty. Focused. Almost angry. We dive into: How McKinney separated the field early and kept his foot down Why the final margin (four shots at 18-under) didn’t fully reflect the control he had The chasers — Curtis Luck, Kirsten Rudgeley and Abbie Teasdale — and why none could close the gap Playing alongside Andrew “Beef” Johnston and how that final round unfolded Plus, the bigger picture: from a tough couple of seasons on the HotelPlanner Tour, to surviving 252 holes at DP World Tour Q-School, earning his card, and now arriving into his rookie season on the DP World Tour with serious confidence. From moving to Australia at 13, elite amateur wins at Cranbourne and St Andrews, to debuting at The Open — this was a reminder that Connor McKinney’s trajectory is very much back on track.

This week on Tee It Up, we sit down with Tim Naki for a wide-ranging chat on risk, content, and the reality behind going viral. Tim takes us inside the thinking behind Manifest the Milli, Ten and Ten, and the bet-per-follower concept that helped grow his audience to more than 1.1 million. He opens up about the highs and lows of punting — including the now-famous run where he turned $1,500 into $1 million in 84 days, before losing nearly half of it just as quickly. We talk honestly about luck versus skill, variance in gambling, and why transparency around losses has become a cornerstone of Tim’s brand. He’s clear about responsibility too — warning against blindly copying bets and stressing the emotional toll that comes with high-stakes decision-making. The conversation also shifts to golf. Growing up in Hawera around names like Michael Campbell, Tim shares how he got into the game, what he finds most challenging, and his favourite on-course experiences so far. We also dive into High Stakes Golf, his YouTube series blending pressure golf, elite courses and real money on the line. A thoughtful, open conversation about content creation, risk, golf and what happens when a wild idea actually works.

Welcome back to the Tee It Up Golf Podcast. This week, Q sits down with Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen — the 2025 Australian Open Champion, PGA Tour card holder, and one of the most exciting young players in world golf. Fresh off an unforgettable victory, Rasmus takes us inside the week that changed everything. From arriving early in Australia and grinding it out across Victoria, to navigating wildly different conditions each day, he breaks down how patience, preparation, and belief carried him to the biggest win of his career. We relive the drama of the final round — including the nerve-shredding closing stretch and that ice-cold up-and-down on the 18th — and unpack the mindset behind one of the defining moments in recent Australian Open history. Rasmus also opens up on what the win truly means: the doors it’s opened, the confidence it’s given him, and what lies ahead as he prepares for his first appearance at The Masters. Along the way, we dive into his journey through the DP World Tour, the grind of learning to contend, and the lessons picked up playing alongside the very best — including Rory McIlroy. A grounded, thoughtful, and insightful chat with a star firmly on the rise — and a must-listen for golf fans as Rasmus steps onto the global stage. ⛳ Australian Open glory 🏌️ Final-round pressure & clutch moments 🎟️ A ticket to Augusta 🌍 The road to the PGA Tour and beyond Let’s get into it.

Q is joined by Brad and Johnny to reflect on an enormous year for the pod, Aussie golf, and everything that’s come with it — the wins, the moments, the laughs and the momentum heading into 2026. We kick things off by thanking the listeners, guests and sponsors who’ve backed Tee It Up throughout the year, with a massive shout-out to GolfBox for their ongoing support, giveaways, events and on-course activations. From there, it’s straight into some light banter around matching kits, why they work on course (and on camera), and who pulls it off best. Brad then recaps his win at Beacon Hills, breaking down the course setup, what clicked, and what it’s like closing one out when it matters. Q and Johnny dive deep into the Victorian PGA Championship, unpacking the tournament vibe, course conditions and why Sunday suited Marc Leishman perfectly — a reminder of why experience and class still rise to the top. We also check in internationally, reacting to Jayden Schaper’s outrageous finish and playoff win — including one of the shots of the year — plus Jack Thompson’s near-miss in Saudi, and what those performances say about their trajectory heading into 2026. To close it out, the boys look ahead to what’s coming next: bigger events, stronger content, more on-course presence, and the continued growth of Tee It Up. Each host shares their top moment of 2025, favourite tournament, favourite podcast moment, and their dream guest for 2026. Thanks for riding with us this year — we’ll see you early in 2026. And as always… don’t forget to tell a mate about the pod.

Marc Leishman joins Q fresh off a gritty win at the Victorian PGA Championship at Moonah Links, navigating brutally tough conditions to claim his first Australian victory in 17 years. A clutch birdie on the 18th sealed it — and capped a massive run of golf back on home soil. In this chat, Leish breaks down the week at Moonah, why the course and the wind suited experienced players, and how he managed a demanding stretch that included Saudi Arabia, the Australian PGA, Australian Open, Cathedral Invitational and the Vic PGA. We also dive into the family side of the week — playing the teams event alongside his son Harvey, narrowly missing Sunday by countback, and having his dad Paul “Trooper” Leishman on the bag… including how that caddie gig actually came about (yes, the pub story is real). Leish reflects on grinding through a Warrnambool-style final round, converting strong form into wins, and rates his season so far after two victories. Honest, funny and insightful — this one’s a beauty. Topics covered: Winning the Vic PGA in brutal wind Moonah Links & final-round mindset Heavy tournament schedule on Aussie soil Playing with son Harvey Dad “Trooper” caddying (and how it started) Two wins this season — rating the year out of 10 🎧 12–15 minutes | Hosted by Q

In this episode, Q sits down with DP World Tour veteran James Morrison, who quite literally joins us moments after stepping off the famous fairways of Royal Melbourne. Still carrying a bit of Sandbelt dust on his shoes, James gives us an immediate feel for how the course is playing ahead of a massive week in Australian golf. We dive into James’ uniquely Aussie story — from marrying an Australian, to playing Pennant for Waverley, to why he keeps coming back Down Under. From there, he walks us through his remarkable sporting background: a former gun junior cricketer who jumped from an 18-handicap to scratch in just 12 months, forging the work ethic that still drives him today. James opens up on the highs and lows of tour life, including the brutal moments where he nearly quit the game, losing his card for the first time since 2009, and the mindset shift that sparked his resurgence — capped by his return to the DP World Tour via the HotelPlanner Tour. It’s an honest look at confidence, identity, family, and rediscovering why you play. We also get into some brilliant tour stories: practice rounds with Phil Mickelson, walking the Old Course with Tom Watson, first-major memories, and the best ball-strikers he’s ever witnessed up close. Plus, a rare behind-the-scenes look at the business of being a pro golfer — travel, scheduling, budgeting, family life, and the grind fans never see. We wrap with a rapid-fire segment before wishing James luck for the week ahead at Royal Melbourne. This is one of the most open, insightful, and entertaining chats we’ve had — a perfect blend of golf heart, honesty, and world-tour wisdom.
