Alan Shipnuck, author of the latest Rory McIlroy biography; 'Rory: The Heartache and Triumph of Golf's Most Human Superstar.'

He touches on his journey learning about Rory's life, McIlroy's own thoughts on the book, and the complexities that make him such a good character on the page.

Gary Murphy and Gavin Cooney join John Duggan for this week's Saturday Panel, looking ahead to The Masters next week. After Rory McIlroy's first win at Augusta last year, the pressure is off him to follow that up this year, but can he follow that up with another Major title?

The Saturday Panel on off the ball is brought to you by the road safety authority, bringing you awareness of distracted driving this bank holiday weekend. If you look at your phone for one second travelling at 50 Kilometres and hour, you travel the length of four cars without watching the road. Put the phone away.

Fionn Davenport was joined by Gary Murphy and golf writer John Huggan following the news that five-time Major winner Brooks Koepka will return to the PGA Tour after agreeing to restrictions on his financial benefits and a charitable donation of $5 million.
