The Fake Pundit | 2021 abrdn Scottish Open

The European Tour presents The Fake Pundit.
Matt Wallace and Søren Kjeldsen joined forces with our ‘Fake Pundit’, Seán Burke, to put some of the abrdn Scottish Open field through the most excruciating ‘live’ pre-event media interviews of their careers.
Posing as a new presenter for ‘live’ Sky Sports News hits from The Renaissance Club, Seán subjected his victims to everything from whacky golf terms to technical mishaps to incredibly expansive questions and painful instructional segments.
Featuring the likes of Lee Westwood, Padraig Harrington, Collin Morikawa, Billy Horschel plus many more, some of the best golfers in the world were on the receiving end of his antics.
Take it away Seán …

The European Tour’s Race to Dubai returns to Renaissance Club this week for the second Rolex Series event of the year - the abrdn Scottish Open. A star studded field are set to compete this week, but who will be crowned champion? World number one John Rahm is in the form of his life after capturing his first major at Torrey Pines last month. The two-time Irish Open winner grew up on the north coast of Spain so will be used to the coastal weather and winds that may come this week. Five-time European Tour winner Tommy Fleetwood showed enough in his T17th finish in Ireland last week to indicate his form is on the up. He lost to Aaron Rai in the play-off at Renaissance Club last year and will be aiming to go a step further as he looks to cement his place in the Ryder Cup team. Meanwhile, having won the World Golf Championships and finished inside the top 10 at two majors this year, Collin Morikawa will be hoping to bring his form to Scotland. Other notable contenders include Bernd Wiesberger, Richard Bland and Garrick Higgo.
Welcome to the Official KZbin channel of the European Tour. Every week you can find extended tournament highlights and individual player highlights from the likes of Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood in events on the Race to Dubai. This is also the home of the 14 Club Challenge, Little Interviews, Fastest Hole and many more challenges, pranks and world record attempts featuring the biggest golfers in the world.

Actually shows how nice Harrington is, was genuinely bothered that he maybe hadn't signed an autograph years previous

[@winstonsmith11]

Please, European Tour, never change. Coming from an American, videos like this are what set you apart. The whole golfing world thanks you.

[@anathanholland]

So true!

[@johnhofer3089]

Henrik Stenson knew the drill 😂

[@k9feces]

Lmao😹😹

[@dafa8138]

He is actually known as bit of a prankster on the tour

[@gbc7344]

Jokes aside I can vouch for Harrington..he really does try to sign every autograph...class act

[@IntricateUniverse25]

I hope Morikawa comes back to this video when he wins 3 majors and has 15 aces to apologize to this reporter from the future.

Well, he's one closer now!

I wish the PGA tour would do stuff like this in the states. It’s all seriousness.

[@almostpro123]

The snobbery in the states with golf is to much for them to have a laugh

[@drs1390]

The PGA Tour is funded by conservative leaning corporations...they're not known for their sense of humor

[@mvubu6823]

Players are too far up their own backsides. The leg pulling and constant ribbing just doesn't work in that environment

[@mrf1019]

They tried with John C McGinlay, it's just not as good

[@nath-wp7xp]

Don’t worry. LIV Golf is here to save golf.

This is why the Euro Tour is heads and tails above the PGA. this is also why the Euro's kick our ass more than not. They just know how to banter. We don't have that.

This is why the Euro's are way more adapt at team competition than the Americans. They know how to get on and have a good time. Americans are way too uptight.
