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.

The 2025 Crown Australian Open is finally here — returning to Royal Melbourne for the first time since 1991. Q, Johnny and Brad preview a huge week on Australia’s No. 1 course, breaking down the Composite routing, key holes, early practice insights and the strongest field we’ve seen in years, headlined by Rory McIlroy, Cam Smith, Adam Scott, Min Woo Lee and Joaquin Niemann. We give our Ones to Watch, tips to win, and what this event means for the future of Aussie golf. Plus: where to find us on course and win GolfBox prizes.
