Sophie Walker — Sky Sports Golf Presenter & Former LET Pro | Bonus Episode
Description
Sophie Walker is one of the best guests we've ever had on this show. She's the head analyst for Sky Sports Golf, a former LET tour pro with over 150 events and five Open Championships to her name — including the first women's ever played at the Old Course, St Andrews. She's also ace. And she lives a mile down the road from Nish, which helped.

In this bonus episode, Sophie talks honestly about tour life: what it really costs to compete at the top level, what she'd do differently, and her take on where women's golf should be investing its growing revenues. She gives us her one-line verdicts on the great courses — Royal County Down, Turnberry, Kingsbarns, Birkdale, and more. She reveals the caddy signal system that lets broadcasters know exactly what club a player is hitting. And at the very end, she answers the one more round question in a way that'll stay with you.
