Before Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme get to golf's biggest news of the past week - LIV Golf moving from 54 to 72 holes - we begin by detailing Smylie's brutal onset of “dad back” that left him crawling around the house. Charlie then recounts his cathartic return to golf at Hidden Creek - from a rain-soaked finish to a well-deserved steam shower. From there, the guys dig into LIV's move to 72-hole events: does it help majors performance, OWGR hopes, or brand identity? They hit fan reactions, Rory's take, player pathways, and why 72 holes might help some stars while blurring what made LIV different. In the back half of the episode, they tackle the DP World Tour dilemma: Rahm and Hatton's appeals, Ryder Cup eligibility, the PGA Tour partnership, TV product realities, and whether “home games,” nations, or mixed-gender teams could make team golf click. Chapters: 00:00 On the road; off-season check-in 00:28 “Dad-back” hits: stairs, stroller, and full-body spasms 04:59 Crawling the house, bathroom saga, and the recovery plan 07:24 Dry needling, PT, and week-to-week swing timeline 07:50 Hidden Creek trip: first rounds back after surgery 09:51 Birdies in a downpour, finishing 18, and the steam-shower reward 12:50 News segue: DP World Tour wrap, Ben Griffin's win, LIV headlines 13:31 Main topic: LIV moves from 54 to 72—first reactions 14:16 OWGR reality vs format; the closed-shop and pathways problem 15:38 Preparing for majors versus blurring LIV's brand identity 17:02 Rory's comments and field-strength implications 18:05 What would actually move the needle: tee times, relegation, field size 18:49 Why 54 could create different winners vs 72's “truer” leaderboard 19:29 Shotgun starts, sleeping on leads, and pressure differences 21:22 Everyone backtracks sometimes: gear, coaches, and sports takes 25:06 “54” spin vs holes played; player-lens view on 72 vs 54 26:21 The game-within-the-game over 72 holes; form building before majors 27:16 Major-exemption math and why results at the majors are the judge 33:13 Expectation-setting for LIV at the Masters and beyond 34:19 Shift to DP World Tour: Rahm/Hatton appeals, fines, and Ryder Cup stakes 35:36 DPWT's position in the ecosystem: partner with PGA Tour or pivot toward LIV? 40:03 Funding realities, TV product challenges, and sustainability questions 41:12 What if DPWT had been the Saudi-backed “strong international tour”? 42:42 US TV windows vs international schedules; business trade-offs 45:20 Team-golf ideas: legends + current pros + LPGA, or nations-based squads 46:47 Nations/home-game model and why fans might care more 47:35 Make it a fun product, not an OWGR product; formats beyond 72-hole stroke play 50:05 Borrowing from what works in modern golf content without breaking broadcast logic 51:26 Tape delay vs betting/live; what matters for engagement and sponsors 53:14 Bottom line: does the 72-hole shift simply aim at better major results? 53:41 Has LIV created a star? Tom McKibbin as a possible homegrown example 55:16 DPWT cards via top-10 pathway; late-season stakes and names to watch (closing)  #Golf #SmylieShow #LIVGolf #PGATour #DPWorldTour #OWGR #RyderCup #JonRahm #TyrrellHatton #HiddenCreek #GolfPodcast

Matt Every and Tim Barter joined Gary Williams on today's show. Every was up first and talked about what he has learned about the tour since leaving it as a player; what he doesn't love about analytics, his fandom of Ben Griffin and that he feels there needs to be a penalty for playing bad golf and favors a cut no matter the event. Barter talked about Rory McIlroy's chase for a 7th Order of Merit that could culminate in Dubai this weekend; his thoughts on Tommy Fleetwood moving to an elite level; his love and appreciation of Justin Rose; the play of Bob McIntyre and if Luke Donald will pursue a third consecutive Ryder Cup captaincy.

The Internet Invitational has taken YouTube and the golf world by storm. We will have a heated discussion about the event and if Brad Dalke could play on the PGA Tour. Aaron Rai won in Abu Dhabi over Tommy Fleetwood with a birdie on the first playoff hole. Rory McIlroy fired a -10 in the final round to almost get into the playoff but fell a shot short at the 2nd to last event of the DP World Tour season. Ben Griffin, using a new putter this week, earned his 3rd tour victory of 2025, joining only Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy in doing so this year. We will talk about all of these things and more on this episode if the Break80 Podcast. Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple & Spotify for weekly golf content. Learn more about your ad choices.

"Draft Week" continues on this Wednesday episode as Andy, Brendan, and PJ pick their favorite PGA Tour events of 2025. Speaking of draft picks, the show kicks off with Andy immediately having PJ answer for an explosive trade deadline for the 1-7 Jets. The Jets choosing to stockpile future draft picks rather than have actually good players on the current roster is quickly tied into golf and the constant need to find "who's next." Michael Brennan could be "next," and he's back in action this week as the PGA Tour heads to Mexico for the Worldwide Technologies Championship. Andy and Brendan briefly discuss the field for the event, including Brennan, Ben Griffin, and U.S. Open champ J.J. Spaun. The DP World Tour playoffs begin this week with Rory, Tommy, and more teeing it up at Yas Links for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. Brendan mentions the event's defending champion, Paul Waring, which leads to a guessing game on Waring's 2025 PGA Tour earnings. There was some real, substantial golf news on Wednesday afternoon as it was announced that LIV Golf will begin playing 72-hole tournaments in 2026. Andy and Brendan find great humor in the fact that this is being spun as "innovation" and the next phase of growing the game, despite now being the same as the PGA Tour. They discuss whether the top players will start to separate themselves even more given another 18 holes at every event, and also mention some new trademarks filed by the league for potential team names. The back half of this episode contains a bit of a Year in Review appetizer in the form of a Best 2025 Events Draft. The three briefly look back at the year and select their favorite highlights from the PGA Tour schedule and a few wildcards.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest preview for the week 45 action in the world of golf. Golf Preview Podcast: Worldwide Technology & Abu Dhabi HSBC Championships This week's Golf Preview Podcast with host Will Doctor took listeners around the globe for twin tournaments—the PGA Tour's Worldwide Technology Championship in Cabo and the DP World Tour's Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship—pairing sharp betting insight with a clear read on form, course fit, and odds value. Will opened with the major headline that LIV Golf will expand to 72 holes in 2026, a necessary step toward earning official world ranking points. He applauded the move but joked that LIV must “ditch the shotgun start, put their pants back on, and bump fields to 125 players” to be taken seriously. Turning to Cabo's El Cardinal at Diamante, Will dissected wide fairways, coastal winds, and massive 8,000-square-foot greens that demand patience and putting precision on paspalum. He ran through the favorites—Ben Griffin at 13-1, J.J. Spahn at 14-1, and Siwoo Kim at 20-1—praising their ball-striking while noting putting woes make them risky pre-tournament bets. Rico Hoey and Michael Thorbjornsen earned honorable mentions for potential live plays, while Max Graceman's length and putting prowess made him a strong lineup anchor despite inflated odds. Will's card featured Matt Kuchar outright at 60-1 on FanDuel, citing Kuchar's coastal pedigree, recent form, and runner-up finish at Diamante two years ago. He paired that with Max Graceman top-10 (+200) and Thorbjornsen top-10 (+275), plus a sleeper top-20 on Isaiah Salenda at +333, banking on his paspalum putting bounce-back. His lone matchup pick was David Ford over Chandler Phillips (–105), backing the rookie's consistency off the tee and elite putting splits. In Abu Dhabi, Will spotlighted Rory McIlroy (6-1), Tommy Fleetwood (7-1), and Tyrrell Hatton (9-1) as clear threats at Yas Links, with Matt Fitzpatrick (18-1) his top outright due to sustained top-10 consistency and motivation to close the season strong. Rafa Cabrera-Bello rounded out his picks with a top-20 (+240) and long-shot outright (200-1), leaning on course history and renewed confidence with the putter. Will closed by promoting Pregame's EAGLE20 discount code and teasing next week's Bermuda and Dubai finales. With humor, precision, and elite statistical depth, the podcast offered a comprehensive blueprint for golf bettors navigating late-season chaos—smart, fast, and perfectly dialed in to the global game.

Will Doctor the sharpest golf mind in the game gets you ready with all his picks for the DP World Tour Championship Will Doctor returns on Pregame's Golf Preview Podcast to cover the DP World Tour India Championship at Delhi Golf Club, a short, tight thinker's course demanding accuracy and elite Bermuda putting. Rory McIlroy headlines the field at +550 after his Ryder Cup appearance, while Tommy Fleetwood, Ben Griffin, Victor Hovland, and Brian Harman follow on the odds board. Doctor candidly admits his recent slump—down 6.7 units after a rough run of misses in Japan and Spain—but aims to bounce back in India. He reviews poor picks like Eric Cole at the Bay Current, Michael Kim's top-ten miss, and Hideki Matsuyama's near miss on the Japanese leaderboard. Despite Christian Bezuidenhout's top-ten and some solid form from Patrick Reed and young star Angel Ayora, Doctor's recent cards have fallen short. In Spain, Marco Penge won, and Doctor's outrights in the DP and Korn Ferry Tour events all missed, dropping another 11 units. Shifting focus, he outlines Delhi's setup—tight fairways, strategic play, and little need for drivers—and identifies players with precise ball-striking and solid putting as keys to victory. McIlroy's length gives him an edge even with fewer drivers, but Doctor is cautious given Rory's layoff. Fleetwood at +675 is his top choice among favorites due to accuracy, sixth in strokes gained approach, and proven Bermuda success at East Lake. Griffin, despite a stellar season and two wins, has too long a layoff to back pre-tournament. Hovland, nursing a neck injury, is another fade despite elite approach stats, as Doctor avoids risk. Harman fits perfectly with his precision and prior success on Bermuda layouts but is also a pass due to recent inactivity. Doctor's first “pick to place” is Denmark's Jeff Winther top 20 at +260 for his accuracy and positive recent putting form, including a top-10 in India last year. His second placement pick is India's Anirban Lahiri top 10 at +260, praising Lahiri's form from LIV events and strong national open history despite criticizing LIV's limited fields. For outrights, Doctor backs Fleetwood to win at +675, Ayora at 30-1 after consecutive top-tens and improving putting, and Joel Girrbach at 120-1 as a sleeper with renewed iron play and putting confidence after a solo third in Madrid. He offers a football promo—code DRINK20 for $20 off an all-access package—before revealing his sleeper, Jeong Weon Ko top 10 at 12-1, citing his success in India and strong ball-striking. His best bet is Ayora top 10 at +225 on MGM, expecting the Spanish prodigy to contend again. Doctor concludes optimistic about finding form in Delhi, emphasizing control off the tee, confident approach play, and putting consistency on Bermuda as the key to cashing in.

We start this week talking football. The Commanders could be in a little bit of trouble with injuries. Stu couldn't help but to bring up Virginia Tech's nightmare start to the season. Scottie Scheffler wins the Procore over Ben Griffin. The European Ryder Cup team played well at the BMW Championship. WARNING: This may be pur best work to date. Listen with caution!Subscribe to our channels and share with your friends!#golf #podcast #pgatour #RyderCup #Football

The unbelievable two-year run by Scottie Scheffler continues this week as the U.S. Ryder Cup team members played in Napa Valley in the Procore Championship. With his 6th win this season, Scheffler joined only Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods on the list of players to win 6 or more events in back-to-back seasons on the PGA Tour. Ryder Cup team member Ben Griffin had a chance to force a playoff with Scheffler, but 3-putted for par to lose by a shot. World number 1 amateur Jackson Koivun had his fourth straight top 10 finish on the PGA Tour, while handling the stress of playing in the final group. 11 of the 12 members of the European Ryder Cup team played in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth this week. Ironically enough, the hottest player on the planet not named Scottie Scheffler took the title. Alex Noren, who is a vica captain for the European team beat all of the Ryder Cup members en route to his 2nd BMW PGA Championship. Also in this episode we are talking 4 putts on the LPGA Tour, John Daly makes a massive number and Kapalua not going to be ready for the Sentry Championship this year?

From there we go to the Euro BMW PGA as Alex Noren wins in a playoff at Wentworth, Charley Hull's win in Cincinnati on the LPGA Tour, Greg Norman's LIV exit, and close the pod with some laughs as Randy offers some of his favorite Phil Mickelson moments (59:30).

The combined 0-6 Bears, Browns, and Jets lost by a combined 74 points on Sunday. But it is still a victory Monday around here as we welcome Kevin Van Valkenburg to the Fried Egg Golf team. Though he has been a contributor to SGS in the past, he's now on the FE ship full time so we bring him on to bat it around following the weekend of Brocore, Wentworth, and continued Ryder Cup hype. We discuss Scottie Scheffler — his mere presence — putting everyone around him on the fritz, like Ben Griffin, who could have, should have won the Brocore. Did it take a low stakes fall event to really convince us the Tiger invocations are not out of line? Maybe. They also discuss king mule Lanto's involvement in the proceedings and Jackson Koivun needing to stay on Tour and not go back to school. At Wentworth, they discuss Alex Noren being a top 20 player in the world and for sure a top 12 option for Team Europe who will be relegated to the ass-cap role. Then the notion of VR headsets preparing the Euro Ryder Cup team for battle is also bandied about with some amusement. They close with some football chatter and laughs about PJ having to send cringe tweets for the Lions following the Browns wishing Deshaun a happy birthday on Sunday morning.

The fireworks aren't just on the course this season — they're in the conversation.Coming off a sensational Tour Championship victory and first PGA Tour win at his 164th start, Tommy Fleetwood finally claimed the FedEx Cup and a massive $10 million payday, all under a bold new “even start” format.

Gholf: Keegan Bradley het besluit om homself nie as spelende kaptein vir die Amerikaanse Ryderbeker-span te kies nie. Hy het Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay en Sam Burns benoem as sy ses keuses vir volgende maand se Ryderbeker teen Europa in New York. Die ses plekke vir outomatiese kwalifiseerders is vroeër die maand ingeneem deur Scottie Scheffler, JJ Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English en Bryson DeChambeau. Bradley sê dit was ʼn moeilike besluit om nie deel te neem nie:

After this morning's Ryder Cup roster announcement, Andy Johnson is joined by The Athletic's Gabby Herzig to react to Keegan Bradley's captain's picks for Bethpage. The two unpack the six selections and Bradley's choice to not participate as a player, instead opting to select Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, and Sam Burns from the group on the roster bubble. Andy and Gabby discuss potential pairings for the Americans at Bethpage Black, including who plays with Bryson DeChambeau in his return to the Ryder Cup. They then transition into some Tour Championship cleanup as Gabby shares on-the-ground insight from Tommy Fleetwood's first PGA Tour win. Andy and Gabby close things out by wrapping up the 2025 PGA Tour season and choosing their favorite events and winners from this year.

Keegan Bradley just revealed his Ryder Cup picks—and fans can't believe he left himself off the team...but was it the right choice? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we'll break down what might be the most talked-about Ryder Cup captain's picks in years. Keegan Bradley has officially revealed his U.S. team for Bethpage Black—and in a shocking twist, he left himself off the roster. We dive into the big question: did Keegan fold under the pressure of being both captain and player, or was this an unselfish move to give Team USA the best chance to win? You'll hear our thoughts on legends like Tom Watson saying a playing captain “just can't be done,” Rory's take from the European side, and Keegan's own words from the press conference. We also go pick-by-pick through the roster, debating who was snubbed, who might have been a safer choice, and whether names like Collin Morikawa, Cameron Young, and Sam Burns were really the best options. Could Keegan himself have been the hotter hand heading into the event? And how will rookies like Ben Griffin handle the Ryder Cup spotlight? With the U.S. desperate to avoid another home loss, every decision matters. Join us as we analyze the roster, weigh the risks, and ask if Bradley's bold call will pay off—or haunt Team USA.   Listen to This Week's Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week's Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Omega European Masters -Discussing top 9 on odds board -1 matchup -2 t10's -2 outrights (16/1 & 18/1) -Sleeper, Best Bet The Golf Preview Podcast on Pregame's Network (0:12 – 0:29) set the stage for this week's deep dive into PGA Tour and DP World Tour betting picks. Host Will Doctor brought sharp insights, beginning with the headline story of Tommy Fleetwood's first PGA Tour win at Eastlake, a monumental 2025 moment for golf betting fans. From Memphis to the BMW, Fleetwood's heartbreaks turned into motivation, showing resilience and class (0:39 – 9:23). Doctor highlighted upcoming DP World Tour action, including the Omega European Masters at Crans-sur-Sierre, where Matt Wallace defends in the Swiss Alps. With Matthew Fitzpatrick at 9-1, Alex Noren at 14-1, and Aaron Rai at 16-1, the field is stacked. He also previewed the Irish Open, the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, and the high-stakes Korn Ferry Tour Finals with thirty PGA Tour cards on the line, key storylines shaping fall golf betting. Alex Noren (9:23 – 9:49) celebrated his first victory in seven years, returning from injury with elite iron play and renewed confidence. Will Doctor noted profitable tickets cashed on Fitzpatrick and Smylie, while Rasmus Højgaard locked in his Ryder Cup spot despite missed chances (9:49 – 11:04). Fleetwood's breakthrough was the season's most-watched non-major, with over 4.4 million viewers, a massive data point for PGA Tour betting relevance. Fleetwood's own reflection (11:05 – 11:30) captured the moment: one win as the foundation for many. Yet betting cards saw setbacks with Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland, and Ludvig Åberg falling short (11:31 – 39:00). Only Sam Burns delivered, finishing top ten and strengthening his Ryder Cup candidacy. Doctor analyzed Ryder Cup projections, calling for Scheffler, Schauffele, Henley, English, DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Cameron Young, Ben Griffin, and Sam Burns to form Team USA, while Cantlay's runner-up finish secured his place. Team Europe, led by Luke Donald, is anchored by Rory McIlroy, Fleetwood, Rose, Hatton, and Højgaard, with Lowry, Straka, Åberg, Hovland, Fitzpatrick, and Rahm likely filling out the roster. The Omega European Masters odds board was then dissected in detail. Fitzpatrick's strong form made him one to watch but not a pre-tournament bet at 9-1. Noren at 14-1 presented elite value, while Aaron Rai's struggles with the putter kept him off Doctor's card. The spotlight shifted to the Højgaard twins, with Nicolai at 16-1 and Rasmus at 18-1, both primed to contend at altitude. Marco Penge's explosive driving but inconsistent putting made him a risky choice. Wyndham Clark at 25-1 drew intrigue, though erratic driving raised concerns. In betting matchups, Oliver Lindell over Yuki Ichikawa emerged as a sharp play. Doctor's official card closed with Noren to top ten at +125, Rasmus Højgaard to top ten at +187, Nicolai Højgaard outright at 16-1, Rasmus outright at 18-1, Sami Välimäki as a sleeper to top ten at +350, and Nicolai Højgaard to top ten as the best bet at +162. These Omega European Masters picks provide actionable golf betting insights backed by recent form, strokes gained data, and Ryder Cup momentum. The Golf Preview Podcast (ending timestamp) delivered a comprehensive breakdown of PGA Tour betting, DP World Tour odds, Ryder Cup team construction, and European Masters predictions. For golf fans and bettors alike, the combination of statistical insight, player performance analysis, and betting recommendations made this preview essential. Pregame's coverage positioned the Omega European Masters as a premier betting opportunity in late summer golf, where smart wagering strategies could turn form analysis into profitable outcomes.

After multiple heartbreaks, Tommy Fleetwood finally finished off a tournament at East Lake and got his first victory on the PGA Tour at East Lake. Fleetwood remained steady as other players including Patrick Cantlay and Scottie Scheffler faded down the stretch. Fleetwood's victory gets the monkey off his back after years of near misses and collapses while leading PGA Tour tournaments. Now the attention of the golf world shifts to the Ryder Cup and American captain Keegan Bradley. Will he pick himself this week as a playing captain? Will Cameron Young, Ben Griffin and/or Chris Gotterup make their Ryder Cup debuts at Bethpage Black? We will know for certain in a few days, but we are here to speculate on who he may pick this week.

Tommy Fleetwood has finally won a PGA Tour event. Naturally, this episode starts elsewhere, as Andy and Brendan immediately jump into some quotes from Robert Garrigus and James Hahn. As told to Adam Schupak, these men are very unhappy about the PGA Tour's continued shift toward Signature Events. Garrigus challenged Jordan Spieth to a match for his "five sponsor exemptions" into Signature Events next year and Hahn wants Brian Rolapp to get his phone number from Jay Monahan. This sets Andy off, wondering which players should feature in the "Mule Derby." Things eventually get back to the Super Bowl of Golf, won by Tommy Fleetwood after four rounds of preferred lies. Tommy held off "Playoff P," Keegan Bradley, Russell Henley, and a half-hearted charge from FedEx Cup fourth-place-finisher Scottie Scheffler on Sunday. PJ questions whether this Tour Championship should even count as Tommy's first win, but Fleetwood is now Mr. 1,001 regardless. Andy and Brendan discuss the week at East Lake and give Tommy his flowers for landing the plane on Sunday afternoon. With the U.S. Ryder Cup team set to be announced on Wednesday, it seems like Keegan Bradley will select himself, leaving one of Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, or Sam Burns at home. There's a lengthy discussion about what Keegan should do, but everyone agrees things are trending toward him being a playing captain. The European Ryder Cup team also got a boost on Sunday, with Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton teaming up to win the LIV Team Championship in a playoff. Elsewhere for Europe, Rasmus Hojgaard qualified on points, all but locking up their 12 players. Brendan is unsure of how Rasmus accumulated enough points to make the top six and questions whether all points lists should go away for the 2027 Ryder Cup. Stew Cink went back-to-back at the Ally Challenge, beating Ernie Els in a playoff in Michigan and Brooke Henderson won her national Open on the LPGA. Finally, President Trump declared that he's in favor of Keegan Bradley's playing captaincy and said he will be attending the Ryder Cup on Friday. Will he chop it up with Don Rea? That remains to be seen.

With Andy lost in an airport (not at sea), Brendan! once again called upon PJ to step into the "big chair" to close out the second round of the 2025 FedEx Cup playoffs. After he was unable to make history as the defending FedEx Cup champ last week, Scottie Scheffler fought back with a vengeance at Caves Valley. Scottie chased down Big Shot Bob MacIntyre in the final pairing, putting an exclamation point on his latest win with a chip-in on the 17th hole. Brendan shares some insight from his weekend on the ground, covering pace-of-play and a proper showcase of the top 50 players on the PGA Tour. One of those 50, Ben Griffin, had a rocky start to his Sunday and shared post-round that it was due to an "overdose" on creatine, sending Brendan and PJ into a tizzy. Jon Rahm was not in Baltimore, but he was in Indianapolis for LIV's individual season finale. He took home overall champion honors after a Sunday 60, but lost the weekly event to Sebastian Muñoz in a playoff. Brendan and PJ discuss the absurdity of Rahm - who did not win all year - beating out Joaquin Niemann's five-win season for the 2025 LIV title. LIV relegation is also a hot topic as big names now have to play elsewhere next season. The "Lads Club" is in full effect for Ryder Cup Europe with both Harry Hall and Marco Penge having big weeks despite seemingly having no shot at the 12th spot on the European roster. On the American side, Keegan Bradley had a nice Sunday at Caves Valley, but questions remain whether he should pick himself to play at Bethpage following a t-4 from Sam Burns. PJ then celebrates a long-awaited Victory Monday after Dick Green wins the Champs Tour event in Calgary. Brendan wraps up a great week of golf at Olympic Club for the U.S. Am, and shares an unsubstantiated rumor about next year's PGA Tour schedule to end this episode.

Happy Monday! Timmy is in with Dave Biddle today. Ryan Day has named a starting QB for the Texas opener, and we react to it. The Big Ten has a very dumb CFP expansion idea. Sonny Styles will get the Block O in more Buckeye news. Scottie wins the BMW and Ben Griffin took too much creatine. And we do Foodgasm.

It's been a whirlwind of a year for Ben Griffin with two wins on tour and a pair of top tens in majors with a T-8 finish at the PGA and a t-10 at the US Open. Soly and Ben break down his decision to step away from, and then reenter, the professional golf scene after struggling early in his career, as well as his chase for a Ryder Cup spot, becoming a better driver of the golf ball, life on tour and a ton more.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the John Deere Classic. -Reviewing Detroit -Discussing top 8 favs on odds board -2 matchups -2 t20's -3 outrights (33/1, 80/1, 80/1) -Sleeper, 3 FRP -2 lineups, scoring, best bet Will Doctor opens his podcast with enthusiasm over Aldrich Potgieter's dramatic win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. At just 20 years old, Potgieter emerged victorious in a five-hole playoff against Max Gray Sherman and Chris Kirk. Doctor notes he had picked Potgieter pre-tournament at 125-1 odds, resulting in a monumental gain of 125.8 units that flipped his season from -72.9 to +52.8 units. Potgieter's rounds of 62-70-65-69 highlighted both brilliance and resilience, especially his Saturday bogey-free 65 that earned him a two-shot lead. Despite criticism that most birdies came on the front nine, Doctor praises his short game, particularly ranking fifth in strokes gained around the greens in round three and gaining over a stroke total in that category. Chris Kirk, a six-time PGA Tour winner, had a promising start with back-to-back 65s. Despite dealing with recent game struggles and nearly withdrawing from the U.S. Open, he performed well and missed chances to win with two putts inside 16 feet on 18, in both regulation and the playoff. Max Gray Sherman impressed with birdies on two of his final three holes to make the playoff, including a 35-foot birdie on 16. Though he missed several putts in the playoff, Sherman's calm demeanor and improved ball striking stood out, crediting his caddy Adam Barmer. Doctor sees Sherman as a strong future contender. Doctor critiques Twitter pundits who downplayed Potgieter's Saturday round and emphasizes the significance of the playoff diversity: a 20-year-old, 30-year-old, and 40-year-old competing. He applauds CBS's emotional broadcast moments, such as shots of the players' fathers during the finale. Other notable performances included Will Gordon saving his PGA Tour card, Monday qualifier Brett White making the cut, and rising stars like Michael Thorbjornsen and Jackson Suber getting in the mix. He recaps bets: Potgieter's win was the headline; Champ and Sherman top-20 picks also cashed. Picks that failed included Stephen Jaeger, who struggled with his worst driving week in 25 starts, and Lee Hodges, who fell from contention with a poor third round. As he pivots to the John Deere Classic, Doctor emphasizes traits needed at TPC Deer Run—bombers off the tee, sharp wedge play inside 125 yards, and strong putting on bentgrass. He notes the course has the ninth-widest fairways on Tour, making driving accuracy less critical but not to be ignored. He analyzes top players: passes on Ben Griffin due to fatigue, but likes Jason Day for a top-10 finish citing strong approach stats from 125-150 yards. He dismisses Denny McCarthy at 28-1 due to recurring poor third rounds, weak approach metrics, and no PGA wins. JT Poston is faded for weak iron stats despite being a past Deere champion. Si Woo Kim is heavily criticized—missed cuts, poor putting, and negative recent stats. Doctor proposes betting Jason Day over Si Woo Kim and two other Kim fade matchups. Doctor's top pick is Michael Thorbjornsen at 33-1, citing elite driving (2nd on tour), strong recent finishes, and solid putting. Thriston Lawrence is his second outright at 80-1, noting improved ball striking and three top finishes in recent events, including T12 at Oakmont. Cam Champ, also at 80-1, rounds out the outrights. Champ has been positive in all stat categories the last two weeks and historically played well at Deer Run. Other bets include Jackson Koivun over Quade Cummins, Jason Day top 10 (+225), Champ top 20 (+320), and Thorbjornsen top 20 (+137) as the best bet. Doctor offers three first-round top-10 picks: Thorbjornsen, Pearson Cootie, and Champ. He concludes with two DFS lineups and predicts the winning score at -23.
