From the golf course to the Galapagos, 2022 was quite the year for Christine Wolf. The Austrian took some time away from the sport last year to fulfill her dream of travelling around South America, while still managing to retain her full card for the 2023 season in the process.
Wolf made the transition from the peaks of Patagonia back to the putting green perfectly, and put in some stellar performances towards the end of the year to keep her playing rights, which she celebrated by tying the knot to husband Robert after the season finale.

Having both shone on the European amateur stage, the duo met in college in the US at Arizona State University where they both played for the Sun Devils golf team – alongside a certain Linn Grant.
After registering a win each in their final season in the States, the pair packed their bags for a gruelling two-week stretch at La Manga Golf Club for LET Q-School to both claim their place on Tour, with Alex sharing the victory after five days of the Final Qualifier with compatriot Polly Mack.

Former Ladies European Tour player Sophie Walker joins us this week to discuss her journey through golf; from Cleethorpes to Q-School, and all the way to the commentary box.
After earning her card in 2007, Walker was a constant presence on Tour all the way until she put her clubs away for good in 2018 as she turned her hand to presenting and commentating, where she can regularly be heard alongside Richard Kaufmann on the Sky Sports coverage of the Tour events.

The first ever female winner on the DP World Tour talks us through that historic week at Halmstad Golf Club, as well as life away from the course; where she likes nothing more than a two hour breakfast before riding horses and going mushroom hunting…. no, seriously!
And we couldn’t go a whole conversation without mentioning her great friend and on course opponent Maja Stark, with the Swedish duo almost inseparable throughout the past year, their battles throughout the season kept us all gripped to our televisions for many a weekend.
Episode One: Maja Stark
We kick off this new adventure with Maja Stark – the tantalising Swede who has had us gripped to our screens at times over the past 18 months since turning professional, with five LET victories already to her name, including a mesmerising victory at the ISPS Handa World Invitational in August 2022.
We get to know more about Maja and her journey through golf; from picking up a club for the first time to her hopes for 2023 and achieving her goal of representing Team Europe at the Solheim Cup in Finca Cortesin later this year.
She’s one of the Tour’s most fascinating characters, and ends up catching the eye more often than not when she takes to the course, so take a listen to the Swedish sensation talking about her life, and be sure to leave us a review.
