No winner, winner fried perch dinner at the U.S. Open...for the first time in six years! An incredible streak ends for the podcast, but plenty of chances to start a new one because SportsGuyTy and ShallowCal have THREE opportunities for a team win at Travelers Championship. But first, much love for J.J. Spaun at Oakmont, and crying over standing water with Sam Burns. As always, tips, picks and best bets for the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut.
Andy and Brendan! return to the Ecco House after a Sunday at rainy Oakmont Country Club. The two recap J.J. Spaun's win at the 125th U.S. Open, his first major championship victory. They recount a chaotic Sunday with nearly a dozen players in true contention throughout the afternoon and provide final takeaways from the week at Oakmont. Deputy Sam Burns gets put under the microscope after fading from the lead, Cameron Young got PJ's hopes up yet again, and even Sheriff Scottie Scheffler was somewhat involved in this final round. Andy and Brendan also commend Adam Scott for his efforts despite losing what may be his final chance at a second major. Tune in to "Eye on Golf with The Shotgun Start" on CBS Sports Network on Wednesday at Noon ET for more U.S. Open cleanup!
With another men's major championship wrapped up, Andy Johnson is once again joined by 2008 Masters champion and CBS lead analyst Trevor Immelman to recap J.J. Spaun's victory at the U.S. Open. The two dive into Spaun's winning performance at Oakmont, his golf swing, and his continuing development as a player in his mid-30s. Andy and Trevor also discuss the Sunday rain delay and the impact that it had on the contenders during the final round. The USGA's setup at Oakmont is covered at length with some comparisons to what may happen next year at Shinnecock Hills. To wrap things up, Andy and Trevor run through some players who did not win at Oakmont, including Bob MacIntyre, Cameron Young, Adam Scott, and Sam Burns.
Sheriff's Deputy Sam Burns has the solo lead after 54 holes at the 2025 U.S. Open! Andy and Brendan made it back from Muddy-mont and recapped a Saturday filled with slips and slides on and off the course. They talk Adam Scott turning back the clock and contending at his 24th U.S. Open, J.J. Spaun's inability to go away, and a loitering Viktor Hovland despite struggles off-the-tee. Scottie Scheffler is deemed "too far back" to win the title after 72 holes, but Cameron Young is a potential dark-horse contender following his best iron play of the year. Rory spoke to the media about speaking to the media, opening a discussion on his week as a whole. Finally, Jason Day shared he roots for half of the AFC North and an ad read sends things off the rails heading into Sunday.
This quick Sunday episode was recorded right after the "pillow fight" of a playoff between Ryan Fox and Sam Burns at the 2025 RBC Canadian Open. Andy is ecstatic about Foxy's victory Monday and subsequent move into the top 35 in the OWGR, hoping that this could get him a spot on the International Team for next year's Presidents Cup. Brendan and Andy recap an SGS-filled top of the leaderboard at TPC Toronto that ended in one of the worst playoffs in PGA Tour history. PJ is called on to explain Cameron Young's Sunday round and blowup on the 72nd hole but he claims this was positive momentum heading into the U.S. Open. A premature game of Oakmont Contender or Pretender is played following Rory's adventurous week with his driver and Phil's near-win at LIV Virginia. Brendan received some on-the-ground intel from RTJ, where Joaquin Niemann won yet again. The show wraps with some Oakmont chatter about rough content, a weekend of rain, and excitement for what's to come in the week ahead at the 125th United States Open.
In this episode of "Beamer's Best Bets," hosts Sandy Mcilree and Rich Beem dive into the Arnold Palmer Invitational with a mix of expert analysis and playful banter. Rich, shares his top picks, while emphasizing the impact of weather on the course. The duo also discusses quirky golfer superstitions, like Jack Nicklaus's three pennies, and Rich's humorous encounter with a gator on the greens. With fun questions and personal anecdotes, this episode is a delightful blend of golf insights and light-hearted humor.
Andy and Brendan break down Billy Boy's ESPN debut on this Wednesday episode, recording right after the Atlanta Drive's shutout TGL win over NYGC. Billy Horschel was the star of the show, interacting with fans and broadcasters throughout the SoFi Center, performing the "Dirty Bird" dance multiple times, and bringing his teammates diamond chains to wear for their postgame interviews. Andy immediately calls PJ in to answer for another poor performance from NYGC, as the addition of Cameron Young fell flat straight from the first shot of the night. Andy and Brendan debate whether the low scoring affair was an improvement on last week's match and have a laugh at Patrick Cantlay's strict strategy regarding "The Hammer" and its use. From there, golf's preeminent gambling podcast gives some One-and-Done picks for the Farmers Insurance Open, a tournament that's facing withdrawals from many of the top players in the field. Brendan brings back a slight Cutthroat Corner, wondering how a former major winner is still possibly exempt into PGA Tour events. Elsewhere on the Schedule of the Week, the DP World Tour field at the Ras Al Khaimah is littered with SGS favorites, leading to a Game Within the Game to spice things up. Finally, Andy and Brendan react to the memo sent out by Justin Thomas encouraging players to be more active in PGA Tour broadcasts as a result of the "Fan Forward" survey.
Back in the friendly confines of the Coachella Valley where SportsGuyTy and ShallowCal can claim 50-1 and 150-1 winners the past four seasons. Could the first team win of 2025 come via Scam Young? A little LIV relegation talk (Bubba!). And as always, tips, picks and best bets for The American Express.

With the Year in Review on pause until next week, Andy and Brendan use this Friday episode to catch up on the remaining golf news from this week. Andy spends the entire show dealing with a potential tsunami warning in California, leading to multiple cut-ins with the latest updates from the National Weather Service. In terms of late-breaking golf news, Brendan shares that Scottie Scheffler is using a claw grip to putt at the Hero and the two wonder if this will be a long-term solution for him or if he's just trying it out in a "hit and giggle" event. NYGC's Cameron Young is off to a hot start in Albany, setting him up for his first "win" on the PGA Tour. It was revealed that Tony Finau is NOT going to LIV (as of now), but withdrew from the Hero World Challenge due to knee surgery. Speaking of LIV, it's a loaded leaderboard for the weekend at the Saudi International series, currently being led by Logan McAllister. Dustin Johnson, the latest Golf Saudi ambassador, missed the cut, but had some quotes about "growing the game" in the Golf Saudi press release. Patrick Reed also had some newsworthy comments, suggesting that players who can qualify should be able to play on any tour they want, without suspension or fines. The Ryder Cup pay-for-play debate is somehow still rearing its head, with Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas being the latest Americans to be peppered with questions about it during pressers at the Hero. Kevin Kisner will be the new lead analyst for NBC in 2025 and Brendan wonders how this will impact his TGL status as a member of Jupiter Links Golf Club. Brendan and Andy also break down a potential LIV-WNBA legal battle after the WNBA's latest team logo may rip off a LIV franchise. This episode closes with some SGS Golf Advice about a dice-roll cheater and a legendary war of words at a golf simulator in Canada.
Jimmy addresses the latest news, like President Biden doing his Thanksgiving pardon, before speaking with Kaley Cuoco, Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele, Matt Fitzpatrick and Cameron Young.
In this episode of Inside Golf Podcast, Andy is joined by PGA Tour player, Cameron Young, to recap his runner-up finish at the World Wide Technologies Championship. Andy and Carson run through what it was like playing in contention on Sunday and notching the best finish of his PGA Tour career. Then, they discuss how he is adjusting to his third year on the PGA Tour, what golf courses best fit his skill-set, where he is becoming more comfortable, and his perspective shift as a soon to be father.

-Discussing top 7 favorites in Cabo -2 matchups -2 outrights -Sleeper -FRL, scoring, best bet -Abu Dhabi HSBC outright For more on the world of golf, follow Doc on X @drmedia59 The Worldwide Technology Championship (WTC) at El Cardinal and the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship at Yaz Links feature prominently in this preview by Will Doctor on Pregame's Golf Podcast. With insights on player form, betting odds, and course fit, the guide provides analysis and top betting picks. Event Overview The WTC at El Cardinal, Cabo San Lucas, favors high-scoring players with strong putting. It's a prime opportunity for players vying for PGA Tour status. The Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, however, brings a stronger field for the DP World Tour's playoff stretch in Dubai, featuring players like Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood. Key Player Analyses Max Graesserman (18-1) – Graesserman's recent hot streak with his putter is promising, though his approach stats (104th in the PGA) and lack of wins caution against an outright win bet. Better value lies in matchup bets. Cameron Young (20-1) – Although a skilled player, Young has struggled with putting and hasn't won this year. Doctor believes 20-1 is too high given his recent inconsistencies. Doug Gim (25-1) – A top pick, Gim's scoring capabilities and recent runner-up in Vegas make him a strong choice for an outright win, despite occasional inconsistency across four rounds. Bo Hosler (25-1) – Hosler has shown promise but struggles with iron play and final-round stability, making him less suitable for a high-scoring course like El Cardinal. Harry Hall (28-1) – Hall's scoring average and birdie potential make him an interesting pick, particularly in matchups against struggling players like Tom Hoagie. Lucas Glover (28-1) – Despite good finishes, Glover's weak putting makes him a risky pick for a course demanding birdies. Matchup Recommendations Graesserman over McNeely: McNeely's recent struggles with the putter make this a favorable matchup for Graesserman. Hall over Hoagie: Hall's strong scoring record contrasts with Hoagie's driver and putter issues, making Hall the better pick. Top Outright Picks for WTC Doug Gim (25-1) – Doctor favors Gim for his strong recent form and scoring ability. Harris English (30-1) – Although inconsistent with irons, English's putting and experience make him a good candidate in a straightforward course setup. Sleeper & First-Round Picks Carson Young (Top 20) – Young's course familiarity and recent top finishes make him a strong sleeper pick. Rico Hoey (5-1, Top 10 After Round 1) – Known for low first-round scores, Hoey ranks well for a first-round top-10 finish. Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship Pick Nikola Hojgaard (45-1) – Hojgaard's familiarity with UAE courses and recent strong performances make him Doctor's choice for an outright win at Yaz Links, despite a tough season. Conclusion Doctor expects a high-scoring event at El Cardinal, with the winner likely needing 25 under par. He places strong confidence in Doug Gim and Harris English for the WTC, while Hojgaard is favored in Abu Dhabi due to his experience in Dubai courses. This preview guides fans with focused insights for strategic betting across both tours. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
We kick off today's podcast by listening to some audio that was not on our bingo card this week. We would not have expected what happened to happen.Once we get through that, we chat Cam Davis. Wow.

Stop us if you've heard this before; Scottie Scheffler won a golf tournament this past weekend. He won another signature event in CT in a playoff over Tom Kim. We discuss Scottie's epic run and compare it to some of the great seasons in PGA Tour history. Could this be one of the best ever when the season is over? We talk about the protesters, of course, but also breakdown a few topics surrounding Tom Kim. Cameron Young shoots 59, but are sub-60 rounds still cool? Why have there been so many in recent years? We touch on LIV Nashville before getting into our picks for this week's Rocket Mortgage Classic.
On this week's episode of Birdie Little Secrets, hosts Kassidy Duncan and Sydney Ford discuss Baby Bennett's 2nd win, oh and Scottie Scheffler's 6th victory of the season. Uncle Tom Kim came in a close second as the two BFFs (and Birthday buddies) went head-to-head in a playoff, with the World #1 ultimately coming out on top. Cameron Young is also celebrated this week for his record-breaking 59 during the 3rd Round of the Travelers Championship. On this week's FORE-1-1 the girls discuss Preferred Lies, and shed insight on the “Lift, Clean and Cheat” lingo for the real tee. Kass and Syd couldn't go another week without discussing the OOTT and even talk about the inside scoop they received from a WAG about her fashion fail at the course. Tune in as the girls talk about the KPMG PGA Championship on the LPGA Tour, and how golf is just…. hard!!! Be sure to follow Birdie Little Secrets on Instagram & TikTok @BirdieLittleSecretsPod
After another packed weekend of professional golf, Garrett Morrison and Joseph LaMagna first welcome on Meg Adkins for a round of In/Out following the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, won by Amy Yang at Sahalee Country Club. Then, Garrett and Joseph discuss the Travelers Championship and whether a sub-60 round still holds the same weight following Cameron Young's performance on Saturday. The two also break down how the course changes at TPC River Highlands held up against the best players in the world following the renovations made for this year's tournament.
It's a jam-packed episode this week following a wild ending to the Travelers Championship in more ways than one. The boys have a lot to debate, like Cameron Young's 59*, Scottie Scheffler's dominant run* and why Jon Rahm's hatred of drones might actually be a good thing.

Boomer doesn't like that Gio showed up today looking like Sparky, the Islanders mascot. Boomer thinks he chose the Islanders jacket to purposely get under his skin. We talked about the Knicks and if they're better or worse without Julius Randle. Gio gave us his list of teams he's afraid of and not afraid of for the Knicks to play. We continue to bust Boomer's chops for the Islanders beating the Rangers. Boomer said today is ‘Flyer day' and will worry about the Islanders when they play them again Saturday. Evan and Tiki did something called ‘Judge Tiki'. Gio said we have a new program director at WFAN, but he doesn't know who it is yet. Jerry is here for his first update of the day but first we talked Masters and the show is pulling for Cameron Young. The Yankees lost to the Marlins as Aaron Judge flew out with the bases loaded to end the game. Aaron Boone got tossed for the first time this season. Ohtani's interpreter is working on a plea deal. Aaron Rodgers was on the ‘I can fly' podcast and talked about why he's a fan of RFK Jr and reference Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. Rodgers also talked about politicians being terrible and why not try a non politician. In the final segment of the hour, Gio has a friend who had an issue when he got a colonoscopy. He ended up in the ICU. Doc Gooden day is Sunday and the weather looks great. Boomer thinks Frank The Tank is walking with Gooden at Citi Field.

He ended up in the ICU. Doc Gooden day is Sunday and the weather looks great. Boomer thinks Frank The Tank is walking with Gooden at Citi Field. Hour 2 Gio can report a few things regarding the program director position at WFAN. The process is not over yet, nobody has been picked yet. The ‘bombshell' candidate is out and will not be getting the job. The ‘bombshell' candidate was Stugotz. Boomer wonders who Spike hates dealing with the most at the WFAN job. Jerry returns for an update but first Boomer wonders if Jerry put his name in for the program director job. He didn't, but he said he finds it very intriguing. Giancarlo Stanton has now homered against every team in MLB. Aaron Boone talked about getting tossed. The Naylor brothers each had a HR in the same inning last night for Cleveland. Aaron Rodgers was on the ‘I Can Fly' podcast and he talked about how traditional politics is no longer working. Iowa is retiring #22 for Caitlin Clark.

We went over our picks for the Masters. A caller thinks Tiger is going to do great, but we're not so sure. Hour 3 Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story's season is over as he's having surgery for a fractured shoulder. We talked about some of the Mets homegrown players that have done well and some of the Yankees as well. We also talked about the Rangers/Islanders incident from the other night as they play each other again Saturday. Jerry returns for an update, but first we talked about the Masters website and how good it is and that got us thinking about the best websites out there. Jon Rahm met the media and it got uncomfortable when he was asked about LIV. The Yankees lost to the Marlins and Juan Soto talked about his first homestand as a Yankee. Adam Silver talked about players gambling on games that will get them banned for life. Aaron Rodgers was on a podcast and talked about Trump and Biden being terrible and that's why he's supporting Robert Kennedy Jr. He said the 2-party system doesn't work. He seemed to imply that the Clinton's killed JFK Jr, even though he died in a plane crash. Stephen A. Smith said that he and Molly Qerim are not a couple. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about WFAN's Masters coverage from over the years. A caller wonders if Matt Rempe plays by the code Boomer talks about. We also talked about the quarterbacks in the draft. Hour 4 Tiger's team is not going to finish today because of the rain, so he will have to play more than 18 tomorrow. We talked about the listener who sent in the song he wrote and performed about Ann Liguori. We then played the song as we introduced Ann on the show as she checked in from the Masters. Jerry returns for an update but first Stugotz called in to talk about not coming to WFAN to be the program director. The Moment of The Day involves Stephen A. Smith and Molly Qerim not dating and Chris Russo commenting on that. In the final segment of the hour, Tony calls in. He was the veteran that was honored at the Islanders game the other night against the Rangers. Like Boomer, he's a Rangers fan, and he said he didn't know what to do.

Ben, Taylor and Connor discuss the Valspar Championship, where Peter Malnati won his second PGA Tour title in a decade, and the Players Championship, where Scotty Scheffler cemented his status as the world number one. Peter Malnati's win: The hosts talk about how Malnati's win was a feel-good story for the PGA Tour, as he was a representative of the middle-class players who struggle to keep their cards and make a living. They also mention how his win secured him a spot in the Masters and other big events, and how he was emotional in his post-round interview with his family Cameron Young's runner-up finish: The hosts compare Young to Scottie Scheffler, who also has seven second-place finishes on the PGA Tour without a win. They discuss how Young's putting is his weakness, and how he needs to improve it to close out tournaments. They also note how Young is not a very likable person on tour. Difficulty of Innisbrook: The hosts describe how Innisbrook is one of the toughest courses on the PGA Tour, with narrow fairways, fast greens and windy conditions. They compare it to Sahalee, a course in Washington that hosted the PGA Championship in 1998. They also admire how Malnati was able to shoot 12-under to win by two strokes. Preview of the Masters: The hosts share their thoughts on the upcoming Masters, the first major of the year. They talk about how Scottie Scheffler is the favorite to win, how Rory McIlroy is under pressure to complete the career grand slam, and how Wyndham Clark and Brian Harmon are dark horses to watch. They also mention how they will have a special LPGA Major preview episode with guest Beth Allen, a former LPGA player.
The mule-lord himself, Peter Malnati gets it done at the Valspar this past weekend. We discuss his unusual game for today's day and age, as well as how it's just about getting it in the hole. It is a true underdog story! We also discuss Cameron Young's close call again and whether or not he will ever get that first win on the PGA Tour. We get into a putting conversation on the heels of JT's epically bad putting performance in the third round. We give our thoughts on some putting items that stem from JT and Scottie's recent struggles. Should the PGA Tour have taken last week off with March Madness going on? A few other personal topics are discussed before we get into our picks for this week's Houston Open.
In a win for the little guys, journeyman Peter Malnati blistered the back nine at Innisbrook and tamed the "snake pit" coming in to win his first PGA Tour title since 2015. Cameron Young had a chance to notch his first tour victory, but a 3 putt bogey on 18 sealed his fate and helped Malnati earn the victory. We will dive into a few things about the tournament including the difficulty of the course and how Justin Thomas had maybe the worst putting round in PGA Tour history. Tim was on the road again this week as he was down in Osage Beach, Missouri for a bachelor party. He talks tips for how to properly handle and schedule golf around a bachelor party.

It's a last-of-the-month recording for Andy and Brendan, who are working with spotty wifi after a day of travels from beautiful Northeast Ohio. They begin with some commentary on a recent Twitter poll on various Ohio cities, and the wonderful people we met at the event in Canton. Then they get to the news of the day: the USA Ryder Cup team rounding out its roster with six captain's picks. They begin, and go and go and go, on the Zoom performance of Captain Zach Johnson, who really struggled answering questions and reading from a brutal set of prepared notes. They pick apart some of his justifications and stumbling and bumbling answers that give them pause about what could be coming in Rome. They also get to the picks, eventually, like Justin Thomas and Sam Burns getting in over Keegan Bradley, Cameron Young, and others. They discuss the big JT question and the notion that he's the “heart and soul” of the team or the preposterous trend of the “American Ian Poulter.” There's also a brief chat on some potential pairings to come.
Andy Johnson and Joseph LaMagna discuss who their top 10 players in golf are now that the major championships are over. The two chat about players such as Cameron Young and Xander Schauffele rank as well as the breakout campaign of Viktor Hovland. They also talk about the recent NBA announcement of the NBA Cup, an in-season tournament that adds significance to regular season games and the parallels to the problems golf faces. Each has a unique way that the PGA Tour could look at the NBA Cup and create more interest in its own schedule.
The end of the WGC era closed down in Austin as Sam Burns defeated Cameron Young 6 and 5 to win the Match Play Championship. Both finalists needed extra holes to win their semifinal matches on Sunday morning as Burns defeated Scottie Scheffler while Young outlasted Rory McIlroy. We show some appreciation for Austin Country Club, look back at the entire week's action and eulogize our favorite moments from the WGC e]ra in professional golf.We also react to the audio from our interview with Rory on the MLR ball and his take on the distance debate (1:10:15). Plus our monthly Ryder Cup segment presented by BMW and some other news and notes from the past week in golf.
