This week on Tee It Up presented by GolfBox, PAP joins the show after a run caddying on tour — giving a rare look at professional golf from inside the ropes.

🏌️ Inside the ropes with PAP:

• How the caddying opportunity came about
• What surprised him most at tour level
• What actually makes a great caddie
• The mental side of tournament golf
• What fans don’t see watching from home

🇦🇺 Plus a huge week in golf:

• Hannah Green wins the Australian WPGA Championship — elite form continues
• Bryson DeChambeau beats Jon Rahm in a playoff at LIV South Africa
• Matt Fitzpatrick wins the Valspar Championship
• Jordan Gumberg takes out the Hainan Classic

🔥 Aussie season finale at The National + previews for Houston, India & LPGA.

Hannah Green delivers one of the biggest Aussie golf moments of the year, winning the Australian Women’s Open at home and becoming the first Australian in 12 years to claim the title.

On this week’s episode of Tee It Up presented by GolfBox, Q and Johnny break down Hannah’s huge win at Kooyonga, what it means for Australian women’s golf, and why it felt like a genuine star moment under pressure. We also dive into Will Florimo’s breakthrough first win at the Heritage Classic, Bryson DeChambeau’s latest LIV statement in Singapore, and the big takeaways coming out of The Players as major season edges closer.

Then we get into the big question: did LIV lose a bit of momentum by having the week off straight after Adelaide? Adelaide felt massive — but can LIV keep that energy rolling globally, or is it still too dependent on a few key events?

We also preview a big week ahead with picks for the Australian WPGA Championship, LIV Golf South Africa, the Valspar Championship and the DP World Tour’s Hainan Classic, plus a look at where the PGA Tour could be headed from 2027 and beyond.

A big week, big opinions, and plenty happening as the road to major season heats up.

Will Florimo has finally broken through.

After a season full of close calls, Florimo claimed his first Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia title with a gutsy win at the Heritage Classic, getting to 14-under and holding off Haydn Barron by two shots at The Heritage Golf & Country Club.

In this episode of Tee It Up with the Winner, Will joins us to unpack the breakthrough moment, the eagle on the 4th that changed the day, and the nerves of trying to close it out as the pressure built late on Sunday.

We also dive into the journey behind the win — from runner-up finishes and playoff heartbreak, to the belief that this result had been building for a while. Will opens up on the promise he made to himself not to have a beer until he won again, and why this victory means even more now with his wife and daughter driving everything he does.

A ripping chat with one of the good guys in Aussie golf — and a proper first-win story.

🎙️ Guest: James Betts

Q sits down with leading performance psychologist Jonah Oliver to unpack what truly separates good from elite when the pressure is on.

Jonah works with Olympic gold medallists, professional golfers, elite sporting teams and high-performing leaders — helping them build the psychological tools required to thrive under stress, not just survive it.

In this conversation, Q and Jonah dive into:

• What pressure really is — and why most people misunderstand it
• How elite athletes train their mindset, not just their swing
• The difference between confidence and capacity
• Practical tools to perform when it matters most
• How golfers (and everyday competitors) can build resilience

If you’ve ever felt nerves on the first tee, struggled closing out a round, or wondered how tour players handle major moments — this episode will genuinely shift your thinking.
