In Part 2 of this week's Next on the Tee, LPGA Hall of Famer Jane Geddes returns for a long-overdue visit, and as always, she brings her trademark positivity, incredible storytelling, and contagious energy to the conversation. Jane shares her thoughts on this year's Augusta National Women's Amateur and the Legends of the LPGA Tour. We revisit her first win on the LPGA Tour—the 1986 U.S. Women's Open—which she captured in a Monday playoff over Sally Little. That week was marred by apocalyptic chaos just short of locusts and the 4 Horseman. You'll hear about that plus how Jane arrived early for the Monday playoff and was sitting on her bag on the 1st tee before the USGA officials set up the tee markers. When asked what she was doing, she said I'm ready to play. Jane also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how the Legends of the LPGA Tour came to be, reflects on last year's Senior Women's U.S. Open at Fox Chapel in Pittsburgh, and looks ahead to this year's championship in San Diego. It's always so much fun having Jane on the show, and I know you'll enjoy every minute of this segment.

In Part 1 of this week's Next on the Tee, I'm joined by two of the most legendary PGA Professionals the game has ever known—quite possibly ranked 1 and 1A on that list. First up is PGA Professional Hall of Famer Bob Ford. Bob's accolades span across four Hall of Fames, the prestigious William D. Richardson Award from the Golf Writers Association of America, and the Bobby Jones Award—one of the highest honors in the game. He's served as Head Professional at both Oakmont and Seminole, and his coaching tree reaches wider than any in history. If you've watched the U.S. Open over the past decade, you've likely heard his voice—he's been the official Starter since 2017 and will continue as long as he wants the job. Bob shares his insights on this year's Masters, what to expect from the U.S. Open's return to Oakmont, and, as a proud Yinzer, throws in some thoughts on the Steelers. Then, I'm honored to welcome another giant in the game—Suzy Whaley. A Hall of Famer in her own right, Suzy was the first female President of the PGA of America, is a Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor, and currently preparing to Captain the U.S. Junior Ryder Cup team. She was also recently on the bag for her niece, Phoebe Brinker, at the Augusta National Women's Amateur. Suzy reflects on that experience, discusses the potential for a Women's Masters Tournament, and we explore a few exciting job opportunities where her leadership would be a perfect fit. Don't miss this conversation with two all-time greats.

On this special Masters Post Game edition of Next on the Tee, we look back on an unforgettable week at Augusta National, both from the grounds and from the booth. I kick things off by recapping the final round of the Augusta National Women's Amateur, where Spain's Carla Bernat Escuder fired a final round 68 to capture the title by one shot over 16-year-old American Asterisk Talley. I also spotlight standout performances by rising stars Eila Galitsky and Lottie Woad—young talents whose names we're sure to hear more in the years to come. Then it's on to one of the most thrilling Masters final rounds in recent memory, as Rory McIlroy overcame ghosts of past collapses, a double on 13, and a missed opportunity on 18 to ultimately defeat Justin Rose in a dramatic playoff. With that win, Rory became just the sixth player in history to complete the career Grand Slam. My guests and I walk through every twist and turn of Rory's journey and what this victory means for his legacy. I welcome back two fan favorites to break it all down—Resident Director of Instruction Tom Patri and 17-time winner between the PGA & Champions Tours Mark Calcavecchia. Calc takes us back to his own near miss at Augusta and the shot by Sandy Lyle that denied him a green jacket. Together, we talk about the magic of this year's tournament, from Rory immediately losing his lead on the first hole, gaining it back 2 holes later, losing it again on 13, more missed putts, throwing it away on 18 and ultimately getting the gorilla off his back. We also preview what's ahead for the rest of the major season. Thank you for pressing play and taking the journey with us.

Macy Pate's dream had always been to attend and play golf at Wake Forest. There were many who thought that goal may have been overly ambitious at first, but that all changed after Pate rewrote the state record books while at Reagan High School. The 2024 ACC Freshman of the Year is preparing for the ACC Women's Golf Championship this week in Greensboro after recently competing in the Augusta National Women's Amateur. Pate reflects on these experiences and more, including how her family helped ignite the flame that's turned her into one of the top collegiate female golfers. The Demon Deacon sophomore also details the chemistry & camaraderie that makes her Wake Forest team so special.

On this week's show, we kick things off with our regular monthly visit from The Confidence Doctor, Dr. Bob Winters. Doc shares insight into the incredible success his junior players are having, including several competing in the Augusta National Women's Amateur. One standout is Megha Ganne, who set a first-round record with a 63 at Champions Gate. Although our conversation was recorded the night before the tournament began, Doc explains exactly why her stellar performance came as no surprise. He also highlights the accomplishments of other young players he works with and reminds us once again why he's the best in the business—change your mind, change your game. Following Doc, Jay Delsing returns to the show. Jay is not only one of the kindest and most uplifting voices in the game, he's also got a new book coming out titled You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You, and trust me, you're going to want to read it. He shares some unforgettable stories, including teeing it up with Stephen Stills, meeting Sean Connery (who then introduced him to Steven Spielberg and George Lucas), and playing with presidents—and a young Tiger Woods. You'll love his energy and storytelling. Finally, we bring in our Resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri. With a scheduling conflict bumping him up in the lineup, Tom gives us his take on Min Woo Lee's breakthrough victory at the Houston Open and the crucial role Lee's caddie played in avoiding disaster.

After a consistent year with 2 wins, 2 2nds, 2 T4th's & a T6th that contributed to Arwefjäll winning the LETAS Order of Merit to gain full time Ladies European Tour status for 2025!

Maria José Marin has exploded onto the collegiate golf scene during her freshman season at Arkansas—from setting a 54-hole record during her debut outing, to being ranked the No. 1 women's college golfer in the country. The 17-year-old Columbia native is somewhat of a golf prodigy. She picked up her first golf club at the age of 3 and was competing internationally by the time she was 8. The young golf star has been all over the world playing the sport and has earned prestigious invitations to the Augusta National Women's amateur tournament and a selection to team international at the 2024 Arnold Palmer cup in Ireland. The SEC Freshman of the Year has accomplished so much in such a young career, but she is just getting started.  -------- The full video version of this episode, including behind-the-scenes stories and insights, is available exclusively on HogsPlus.com Follow us on social media!

We have a jam packed pod this weekend as Akshay Bhatia wins the Valero, Nelly Korda wins the LPGA Match Play, and Lottie Woad claims the 5th Augusta National Women's Amateur. We start in San Antonio where Bhatia won in a playoff over Denny McCarthy after McCarthy's back nine 28 (!!) to force extra holes. We talk Akshay's career outlook in light of his second win on tour and try to make sense of McCarthy's incredible run of birdies before his chunked wedge in the playoff. We also talk Rory, Spieth, and a few other notes ahead of the Masters. Then it's on to Las Vegas (30:00) where Nelly Korda wins for the fourth consecutive start as she defeats Leona Maguire to win the LPGA Match Play while Lottie Woad birdies 17 and 18 to win the ANWA (44:00). We close with some observations from our day at Augusta today (1:10:00), JT's split from Bones, LIV-Miami, upcoming content this week and more. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Friday! And the one before Masters week at that, which has both Andy and Brendan feeling a bit of anxiety or regret about some corners they've staked out relative to that major championship. They ramble around on that and the news that Rory McIlroy saw Butch Harmon, JT has split up with Bones, and another “global superstar” is looking for a mental coach. At Valero, they discuss Rory looking burly, Spieth's quotes about his scores not reflecting his quality of play, and the crowd in Charley Hoffman t-shirts. At the Augusta National Women's Amateur, they discuss the slow play penalty that knocked a former champion to the wrong side of the cut line and if that example will be made the next week with the men's pros. There's also news of a scoring kerfuffle. The back half of the podcast covers a bevy of quotes coming from LIV, beginning with some refreshing clarity and honesty from Anthony Kim about where he's been, his struggles, not knowing who won any majors since he's been gone, and how forgiving equipment now is compared to when he left. They also discuss Bryson's urgent plea that the game must be brought back together and Phil's similar quotes on disruption.

We've got a busy episode tonight as Randy, Cody and Jordan preview the upcoming LPGA Match Play in Las Vegas and the 5th edition of the Augusta National Women's Amateur with both events getting underway on Wednesday. We also catch up with Stanford's Rachel Heck (1:11:00) to discuss her recent essay, "Why I'm Remaining an Amateur." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Andy and Brendan had a loose plan for this episode, and they get to that at about the 30-minute mark. The first 30 minutes is a ramble on Jim Nantz and Uncle Verne, LIV Doral, who has the most pressure on them at the Masters, and their own eagerness to get to Augusta for the first major of the year. Then they get to some of the immediate golf at hand, starting with the schedule of the week and the Valero Texas Open, which has a water park attached to it. Cutthroat Corner puts someone in the crosshairs who might be spending his weekend at that water park, while illuminating some of the insane exemptions that reward almost nothing. They also discuss the huge week for women's golf with the LPGA's Match Play at Shadow Creek and the Augusta National Women's Amateur.
