Wentworth sees the start of a great summer of golf from 5 Live, with the US Open to look forward to in June and the Open Championship in July. August will provide fans with commentary from the US PGA Championship and September’s Solheim Cup takes us through to the Autumn.
Covering golf is not easy - trying to look unobtrusive on the fairways is not as simple as it looks. However, it is this creeping around the greens that creates award winning coverage - with commentators so close to the action they convey the drama and tension of every shot and putt.
As the Evening Standard put it, after last year’s match between European and the United States at Valderrama: “Having tried it both ways, believe my assurance that the Ryder Cup pictures were better by far on Radio 5 Live.”
So, if you can’t make it to the great summer golf events, tune in to 909 or 693 MW - 5 Live will take you there.
