Is Bryson DeChambeau quietly setting up his exit from LIV Golf—or playing the smartest leverage game professional golf has ever seen? In this week's episode of The Golf Podcast, we dive into the latest controversy surrounding Bryson DeChambeau and his increasingly non-committal comments about the future of LIV Golf. With reports swirling about a potential $500 million contract extension, we break down whether Bryson is genuinely frustrated with LIV's shift to 72-hole events—or strategically applying pressure as negotiations heat up. We analyze his recent quotes in full, compare his stance to players who have firmly committed to LIV like Jon Rahm, and contrast that with high-profile departures, including Brooks Koepka, who has already begun the process of returning to the PGA Tour. We’ll also explore how leverage in professional golf appears to be shifting, what LIV's long-term strategy might be, and why Bryson's YouTube success and marketability play such a massive role in his value. Finally, we pose this week's big question: if you were Bryson, would you take a half-billion-dollar LIV deal or bet on a return to the PGA Tour?   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.

Bryson DeChambeau, Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and many other strong players off the tee hover the club before they begin their takeaway, but the reasons why range from "relieving tension" to "creating tension."

Brooks Koepka is back on the PGA Tour—and the penalties and deadline in this new returning member policy could reshape the future of LIV Golf. In this week's episode of The Golf Podcast we'll break down the PGA Tour's brand-new Returning Member Program and ask the big question: is this the beginning of the end for LIV Golf? With Brooks Koepka returning to the PGA Tour immediately, we unpack the penalties that came with the deal—starting with a reported $5 million charitable donation, five years of ineligibility for the PGA Tour equity program, and even being ineligible for the 2026 FedEx Cup bonus (even if he wins it). We also explain the program's eligibility rules—a major (or THE PLAYERS) win since 2022 and at least two years away—which narrows the door to a select few names like Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Cam Smith, plus a hard application deadline of February 2. We react to your poll results, debate the “optics” of players paying a price to come back, and discuss why the PGA Tour structured the policy to protect current members (including minimum event requirements and field considerations).   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.

After Brooks Koepka's shocking LIV departure, Rory McIlroy's harsh comments raise even more questions about the league's future. In this week's episode of The Golf Podcast, we break down the latest shake-up in the world of professional golf as Rory McIlroy's recent comments on LIV Golf spark fresh debate across the game. Rory openly discussed welcoming Brooks Koepka back into the TGL and potentially clearing pathways for a return to the PGA Tour, while also questioning whether LIV has truly resonated with fans. Those remarks, combined with Brooks' decision to leave LIV and sit out the season, have many fans wondering if another major move could be coming next. Specifically, could Bryson DeChambeau follow a similar path when his contract comes up at the end of 2026? We unpack Rory's quotes in full, analyze Bryson's own responses, and discuss whether his success on LIV, YouTube growth, and commercial momentum make a return unlikely—or simply a strategic bargaining position. On top of that, we dive into the latest update from the Official World Golf Rankings, including renewed discussions around LIV's application and what recent structural changes could mean for ranking points moving forward. From potential pathways back to the PGA Tour to the broader implications for LIV's future, there's a lot to unpack as the new year gets underway.   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.

The final Smylie Show of 2025 is here — and there's a LOT to unpack. Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down the biggest golf storylines of the year, starting with the shocking news that Brooks Koepka is leaving LIV Golf, what that means for the league, and how it impacts players like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm moving forward. We dive into: What Brooks' exit really means Whether Bryson could eventually leave LIV How the PGA Tour might handle players returning The future of LIV Golf as a product And the ripple effects across professional golf Then, we close out the year with a fun 2025 Year-in-Review game, debating the biggest moments in golf — from Rory McIlroy's grand slam, to the Internet Invitational, to some hilarious TGL bloopers involving Tiger Woods. A mix of serious golf analysis, hot takes, and classic Smylie–Charlie banter to close out the year.

Andy and Brendan's Christmas wish for a "Home Alone" episode to finish out 2025 has come true! The Boys take over the feed for this final look back at the year in professional golf as Joseph and PJ recap the 3M Open and Wyndham Championship. Before getting to what was perhaps the most important tournament of the season, The Boys first discuss TGL's Season 2 debut on Sunday. Billy Horschel took down NYGC again, continuing to be the bane of the entire city's existence according to the broadcast. Billy was joined by Chris Gotterup and Corey Conners on the Atlanta Drive as last-minute replacement players for the suddenly-injured Patrick Cantlay and Lucas Glover. Despite only having one (1) of the team's four (4) players active, Atlanta still managed to clean up against Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Xander Schauffele. Joseph and PJ discuss some standout new holes designed by Augie Pizá and share some excitement for this Friday's Ballfrogs match. There's also been a bit of major golf news since we've been away - Talor Gooch is now the captain of Smash GC! Joseph reads from a new LIV article detailing Gooch's approach to his newfound captaincy and the fallout from Brooks Koepka leaving the league with one year remaining on his contract. The Boys try to game out where this leaves Brooks to play in 2026 and PJ wonders if an easy route back to the PGA Tour for Koepka is coming soon. Bryson DeChambeau is also posturing for a new contract, telling Flushing It that some things need to change for the now-72 hole tour in 2026. After cleaning up the LIV hot stove, The Boys resume the Year in Review with a brief stop at TPC Sod Farms for the 3M Open. Scottie, Bryson, and many more golf stars were in attendance at the "Happy Gilmore 2" premiere this week, but no star shined as bright as Kurt Kityama at an Arnold Palmer design. The Kitty Kat held off challengers like Matt Wallace and Jake Knapp to secure his second PGA Tour win, setting the stage for the 1,000th unique winner in Tour history at the Wyndham. The majority of this episode is, naturally, spent remembering a superstar's win at an iconic Donald Ross venue in North Carolina. Cameron Young ran away with the tournament, beating Mac Meissner by six shots to finally win his first PGA Tour event. Joseph and PJ share the best highlights from the crowning of Mr. 1,000, properly giving this American Ryder Cup hero his flowers despite the best efforts of Andy and Brendan to prevent this from happening. The Boys end the show with a new segment called "Receipts Corner," calling out some who believed this day - or Cameron Young's ensuing end-of-season success - would never come. Andy and Brendan will return in 2026 for another year of covering the amusing, inane, and irreverent moments from professional golf.

It's time to sprint through the finish line... kinda. Andy, Brendan!, Kevin Van Valkenburg, and PJ return for what may be the final installment of 2025's Year in Review, spanning from the Travelers Championship through Scottie Scheffler's win at The Open. Before the five-event recap begins, Andy is given ample time to celebrate a Victory Sunday (and Monday!) following the biggest Bears win in years on Saturday night. He talks plenty of smack about a Packers team that the Bears may see again in a playoff game very soon and anoints Caleb Williams as the best quarterback in the NFC North. Fear not, as there is a Nico Echavarria Minute to even things out later in this episode! Part 9 of The 2025 Year in Review begins with KVV handling the Travelers Championship, which was a triumphant week for his man Keegan Bradley and yet another collapse by Tommy Fleetwood. Brian Rolapp also burst on the scene with the official news of his hire as the PGA Tour's new CEO. Brendan picks things up at the Rocket Classic where podcast favorite Aldrich Potgieter won a never-ending playoff at a bomber's paradise in Detroit. LIV Dallas also ended in a playoff, won by Patrick Reed, but Bryson DeChambeau managed to be the star of the show anyway at his hometown event. The John Deere Classic featured another playoff at the end, but PJ instead focuses on a group of "olds" complaining about equity stakes in PGA Tour Enterprises as the biggest news of the week. Patrick Roy's son, Kevin, also provided what may be this podcast's Tweet of the Year! Andy then slips in a "Nico Minute" while discussing Chris Gotterup's breakout win at the Scottish Open. He also shares some enlightening quotes from Scottie Scheffler on links golf and Rory McIlroy's public detonation of PGA Frisco. The Open Championship is a team effort, with KVV handling the pre-tournament days of "Nihilist Scottie" and yet another newsworthy caddie-player breakup. Andy researches Thursday and Friday in Portrush, reminding folks of some early leaders like Jacob Skov Olesen and other Storylines Nobody's Talking About from that week. Remember when Matthew Jordan defeated par? Finally, Brendan brings us home as he walks through Scottie Scheffler's coronation and an emotional weekend for Rory McIlroy in his home country. That'll do it for Andy and Brendan on the feed in 2025, but "The Boys" have been tasked with giving Mr. 1,000 his just due after the powers that be decided to end their 2025 Year in Review at Royal Portrush.

Fresh off one of the most ridiculous rounds any of us have ever heard, 15-under 56 at Seven Canyons in Sedona the day after Thanksgiving, Kevin Dougherty joins the show to talk life on (and just off) the Korn Ferry Tour. The 34-year-old Dallas resident has been a fixture on the Korn Ferry Tour since 2017, a perennial bubble guy who's lived every emotion this brutal developmental tour can throw at you: 2018 finished 26th the year the top 25 earned PGA TOUR cards, 2019 finished 33rd and on the wrong side of the cut line, 2023 finally broke through at 22nd to earn his 2024 PGA TOUR card back when 30 guys graduated, 2025 delivered four top-10s, a runner-up at The Ascendent, five additional top-25s, and a comfortable 35th on the points list to keep full status. We dive into how he processes all those near-misses, why he skipped Q-School this fall despite being in great form, and whether the current five-card promotion and the ever-shrinking number of guaranteed cards is good for the game. Kevin also takes us inside that historic 56 at Seven Canyons, the Tom Weiskopf-designed gem in Sedona where his late grandfather was a founding member, and why that course and that week with family will be burned into his memory forever. We go back to 2013 and his runaway win at the Royal Oaks Intercollegiate in Dallas, look at a leaderboard loaded with future stars (teammates Wyndham Clark, Talor Gooch, Austin Smotherman, plus Bryson DeChambeau and Victor Perez), and ask: Did he have any idea he was part of one of the most loaded college fields of the last 20 years? Plus offseason routine (do the clubs ever actually get put away?), living in Dallas, still getting out to Royal Oaks, and his dream North Texas money-game foursome, the mental shift that finally got him over the hump in 2023, and a whole lot of talk about close calls and why he still believes his best golf is ahead of him. Whether you're a golf sicko or just love a great underdog story, this conversation with one of the nicest and longest guys in pro golf is an absolute must-listen. Pull up a chair, Cowboy fans, this one's for you.

Pat Brennan from Bucked Up Australia jumps on the mic for a wild mix of yarns—from chasing big-name ambassadors like Bryson DeChambeau and Rhea Ripley, to what he'd do if a billion dollars dropped in his lap tomorrow. We talk branding, vision, and the hustle of bringing Bucked Up down under, before diving into hard-hitting questions like shaving habits, pick-up lines, dust-ups at Coles, and why he reckons a moose would be the ultimate pet. A funny, raw, and unexpected chat with one of the hungriest young brand builders in the game.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Year in Review rolls on with this second installment covering the penultimate Farmers Insurance Open and Rory McIlroy's win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Recording this episode well before its release, Brendan and Andy wonder how they'll be feeling on Friday morning as you're listening to this after a day of turkey and football. With the addition of TGL to the early-year golf calendar, these weeks have taken longer to review causing this episode to focus on just two events. PJ jumps in to handle the Farmers at Torrey Pines. Sure, Harris English won his fifth PGA Tour event, but the true highlight of this week was Billy Horschel's TGL debut. PJ recaps the Atlanta Drive's first-ever victory, as well as some important interviews from PGA of America leaders (not the one you're thinking of... yet). Andy then is tasked with presenting on Rory's win at one of golf's great venues, Pebble Beach. This week marked the return of both Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth from injury, as well as Bryson DeChambeau's content-filled trip to DLF in India.

Formerly, a PGA TOUR representative for FlightScope Golf, Alex is one of the best golf data analysts and advisors in the game, and he has parlayed his extensive ballistics and golfclub-performance knowledge and experience into the world of grips and their influence on the performance of a golfclub. Alex joins #OntheMark to introduce JumboMax grips and describe the advantages of using a weighted, oversized grip as it pertains to increased clubhead speed and clubface control. He explains the influence and effects of the grips as follows: How shot patterns can be tightened and straightened with different weighting of the grip How counter-balanced grips have been, and are, used but some of the great ball-strikers like Jack Nicklaus, Bryson DeChambeau and Sergio Garcia.  The weight and swing-weight of a golfclub and how a grip, and its mass can influence those. The size effect of a grip and how it promotes a better hold on the club, more control of shot patterns by affecting clubface rates of closure, and how is can reduce hand and wrist injury and pain.

Host Colin Weston sits down with YouTube golf pioneer Matt Fisher (Mr. Short Game) to dissect the cultural phenomenon of the Internet Invitational. They break down the 23-million-view event, exploring why its reality-TV format and creator-driven personalities are resonating with a new generation of fans. Matt shares his expert take on the "winners and losers," the cheating controversy, and why this model is a blueprint for the future of golf entertainment. Finally, they look ahead to the evolving golf media landscape, including TGL and Grass League, and discuss how authenticity is the ultimate key to success for aspiring creators. Listen to this full episode with Matt to discover: Personality is the New Premium: The massive success of the Internet Invitational proves that modern audiences crave authentic personality and entertainment as much as they value elite ball-striking. The unfiltered, reality-show format is a powerful new model for golf engagement. Strategic Content Separation is Key: To grow an audience effectively, separate your content by purpose. Matt is splitting his channel into three: one for instruction, one for on-course vlogs, and one for the Mr. Short Game Podcast, ensuring each audience finds exactly what they want. Multiple Revenue Streams Drive Sustainability: Relying solely on YouTube ad revenue is risky. A successful creator business is built on a mix of AdSense, strategic brand deals, and affiliate partnerships, all while prioritizing the audience's trust and interests above a quick payday. https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads-2024/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/z2n4cvDp.jpg Episode Chapters: (00:00) Introduction: Welcoming back YouTube golf pioneer Matt Fisher aka: Mr. Short Game (02:30) The Internet Invitational Breakdown: The surprise success of the 23-million-view event (05:15) Strategy & Timing: Why the delayed release was a brilliant move (08:45) Audience & "Bro Culture": Did the event reach new fans or just its base?

It's on brand for Barstool. And Bob, especially Dave Portnoy, he is going to exploit every opportunity he has. And I don't blame him. He's creating a great entertaining show." On the Difference Between Pros and Creators: "You get Grant Horvat, you put him in the Masters, he's going to come in dead last. But you put him in a cart with Bryson DeChambeau, he's going to come in first in terms of views." On Authenticity for Creators: "The challenge is you see what's working and you just try to copy it as opposed to being authentic of who you are and create your own brand. You gotta film yourself and you gotta find who you are in front of that camera and be authentically you." Are you more of a watcher than a listener?

LIV Golf's shocking switch to a 72-hole format has everyone talking—but is it a bold power move or a desperate bid for legitimacy? In this episode of The Golf Podcast, we break down LIV Golf's shocking decision to switch from 54-hole to 72-hole tournaments starting in the 2026 season—a move that's sending shockwaves through the golf world. We discuss whether this pivot is a strategic play to secure Official World Golf Ranking points or a sign that the league is beginning to mirror the PGA Tour it once sought to disrupt. We'll also explore what this change means for players, fans, and the business side of LIV, including the potential for more sponsorships, ticket sales, and broadcast revenue. You'll hear our take on player reactions from Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, plus how new CEO Scott O'Neil's leadership style could reshape the league's future. Is this a sign of strength and adaptability—or a step away from what made LIV unique in the first place? We unpack all sides of the debate and discuss what this move could mean for the broader landscape of professional golf. Tune in for a deep dive into the evolving rivalry between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour, and why both leagues may be on a collision course toward convergence.   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.

Start your Halloweekend with some listener-submitted costumes! Brendan kicks off this episode by sharing a few "Feedback Friday" emails with Andy, including one about getting caught playing behind a "golf influencer shooting content at a Bay Area course" this week. Andy comes to the defense of this anonymous content creator, providing some reasons for why said creator was perhaps playing slowly. Brendan also reveals a follow-up email from The Great Manassero's trip to San Diego a few weeks ago. In end-of-week golf news, Jordan Spieth has received one last 2025 sponsor exemption and the LIV offseason is in full swing. Bryson DeChambeau is reportedly in re-negotiations for a new contract with the league and it was announced that players will have a pathway to starts next season through the International Series and a "Q-School" event in Tampa this winter. Gary Player made headlines after declaring himself the third-best golfer ever and Andy believes this can-do attitude is what made the Black Knight so great in the first place. PJ then joins in to help Brendan run through the listener submissions for this year's Halloween costume contest. Highlights include someone actually dressing up as PJ, and hypothetical costumes such as "Collin Morikawa's dog," "Championship Rain," "PGA Tour Comms," "Tony Jacklin looking for equity," and much more. Flashback Friday with KVV sends this episode home, as Kevin stops by to enlighten Andy and Brendan about the exploits of "Crazy" Marty Furgol, a former Ryder Cupper and the final winner of the El Paso Open.

The man who once denied LIV Golf world ranking points is speaking out again… and it might change everything. In this episode of The Golf Podcast, we dive into the latest controversy surrounding LIV Golf after former OWGR chairman Peter Dawson delivered some blunt criticism of the league's success and fan engagement. We break down Dawson's comments, question whether bias may have influenced LIV's ranking rejection, and discuss what Trevor Immelman's new leadership at the OWGR could mean for LIV's future. We also explore how recent leadership shakeups at both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf might finally clear a path toward official world ranking points—and what that would mean for players like Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Joaquin Niemann. Along the way, we share predictions for when LIV could earn OWGR recognition, debate how many points LIV winners should get compared to PGA Tour and DP World Tour events, and talk about why 54-hole and no-cut formats shouldn't disqualify LIV under current OWGR standards. Whether you're team LIV, team PGA TOUR, or just a golf fan who wants to see fair rankings, this episode takes an honest look at where the professional game goes next.   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.

Alex and CP go deep on the Ryder Cup. From the fan behavior to the Justin Rose/Greg Bodine “incident” to Keegan Bradley's mishaps, the boys covered it all and then some. Plus, a chat with the legendary Annika Sorenstam. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Andy and Brendan have PLENTY to talk about after a full, buzzing Saturday at the Ryder Cup despite the blowout on the scoreboard. They jump immediately into the testy exchange between Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Rose, caddies, Francesco Molinari, and others during another winning afternoon for Europe. They dissect Keegan's miscues with lineups and management but wonder if it would have mattered given Europe's play. They also go into the extremely hostile crowds, the constant abuse of Rory McIlroy and the opponent, and discuss how bad it got out there and how much it crossed the line. KVV and LaMagna join late to relay some of their notes from their days inside the ropes before a rambling discussion on Russ Henley, Rose, New England sports analogies, and much more in this rollicking Saturday night episode.

Day 2 of the Ryder Cup brought tension, drama, and some exceptional golf. Join us as Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down everything from Bryson DeChambeau's heated exchange with Justin Rose to the electric (and sometimes hostile) atmosphere around the course. The guys discuss the incredible play from Team Europe, the fans, the role of course setup, standout performances, and what to expect heading into the final day.

Andy and Brendan are back at the Ryder Cup — this time, not in an RV but a hipster Brooklyn spot — to record their first episode of the week together. It's a wide-ranging preview episode that begins with some instant reactions and amusements from the Opening Ceremony, featuring Don Rea and essays about New York being considered gritty. They discuss some of their insights from the ground walking around, talking to some players and getting the lay of Bethpage again. They read the tea leaves and discuss some of the pairings that could be coming and how Bryson DeChambeau, and a potential partnership with Justin Thomas, may prove to be the tipping point for great success or great disaster. They discuss the potential for crowd troubles and how the golf course sets up as “so American” for taking the teeth out of a place that's supposed to have a warning sign. Then they bring in KVV for his “KVV Three” notes from the ground on some amusing subjects and an SGS RC Fantasy draft with Andy, Brendan, KVV, and “The Boys.” They finish it out with some picks for top points earners, winner, and most likely to get in a tussle.

This episode was recorded before NFL kickoff on Sunday, so Victory Monday for the Bears and Browns will have to wait. Andy is still licking his wounds from an ugly Illini loss to Indiana on Saturday night and wonders if winning out would still clinch a playoff spot. PJ is in high spirits after a Syracuse win in Death Valley and an early scouting trip to Bethpage on Saturday morning - only for the Jets to ruin everything again. We wrap up College Football Corner and discuss some wonderful coffee golf at the French Open (presented by FedEx) on Sunday. Michael Kim secured his first win since the 2018 John Deere Classic, edging out Elvis Smylie, Min Woo Lee, and Brooks Koepka. With Kim, Lee, and Koepka dropping in on the DP World Tour to great success, Brendan tries to draw some conclusions about where these fall fields stand overseas. Andy makes the case for a potential unification between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour that would have one points list and a stronger fall schedule. The LPGA had yet another unique result to uphold the streak - a cancelation of the tournament in Arkansas after 18 holes! Brendan has PJ share some scuttlebutt from the early merch preview at Bethpage, including some reporting about the famous sign - a favorite of Jason Garrett. In an actual bit of news, Rory McIlroy spoke with The Guardian and took his chance to pop Bryson DeChambeau ahead of a potential match this week. Rory also says he's "more confident" in a win for Europe now than he was when he made his guarantee in 2023. Andy and Brendan answer some listener questions about the Ryder Cup to close things out before traveling to the great state of New York for this week's festivities.

The tension around this year's Ryder Cup is already boiling over — and it may be heading straight for another meltdown. In this week's episode of The Golf Podcast we'll dive into the growing drama building ahead of the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. Things are already getting heated, with Bryson DeChambeau firing verbal shots and Rory McIlroy firing right back, setting the stage for what could be a fiery showdown at Bethpage. Rory has even warned that something is “inevitable” to happen in New York, drawing comparisons to the boiling point we saw in Rome two years ago. On top of that, the pay controversy is stealing headlines as Team USA players are now set to receive $500,000 each, while the European side continues to frame their effort as purely for pride and country. Luke Donald has already suggested that this change could backfire, especially if the New York crowd turns on the Americans should they underperform. Between chirping players, emotional captains, and the weight of national pride, this Ryder Cup is shaping up to be one of the most explosive in history. We'll break down the key quotes, the history fueling Rory vs. Bryson, and how the money debate could add even more fuel to the fire.

This Whiparound Friday episode might as well be a show about nothing with not much going on in golf this week. Andy and Brendan start with a quick rundown of an early leaderboard at the Procore with players like Mackenzie Hughes and Matt Kuchar leading the way. They then move to the BMW PGA on the DP World Tour where auto-qualifier Rasmus Hojgaard struggled on Thursday. Andy takes that baton and runs with it, explaining that the Ryder Cup captains need to be more cutthroat and sit struggling players until Sunday singles if that's what is best for the team. This leads into an impromptu Flashback Friday on the 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National in Paris, France. Andy and Brendan remember some crazy decisions made by the American side, such as making a "celebratory" Tiger Woods play four times that week and pairing a rookie Bryson DeChambeau with a wild Phil Mickelson. They bring up supporting characters such as Thorbjorn Olesen playing with Rory McIlroy and the European team of "Moliwood" that effectively won the event on their own. As for the 2025 event, the Americans are out in full force in Napa and Keegan Bradley is calling this the "closest team he's ever seen" - despite only seeing two teams prior to this.

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.
