The three of them discuss players to watch between now and mid-April, including Chris Gotterup (who won in Phoenix after this was recorded), Ludvig Åberg, and Cameron Young.

Last week in golf delivered chaos, conversation, and a little history. The Waste Management Phoenix Open wrapped with Chris Gotterup emerging from the desert spotlight, reinforcing just how quickly momentum can flip during one of the game’s loudest weeks. Off the PGA Tour, team golf grabbed headlines as Neal Shipley made history by recording the first hole-in-one in TGL competition, a moment that continues to legitimize the league’s entertainment-meets-elite format. And finally, junior golf chatter went mainstream as speculation swirled around Charlie Woods and a potential future at Florida State Seminoles, a reminder that the next generation is already shaping the conversation well before they ever tee it up on Tour.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andy and Brendan are together in Chicago for this Wednesday episode, bringing a jolt of in-person energy for the first Signature Event of 2026. To start, the two tie up some loose ends from Phoenix, discussing Hideki's "chair-gate" in the playoff and some distressing tweets from Spieth Legion. There's plenty of discussion about the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, with one-and-done picks, Andy's "5 Guys to Monitor," and a new game that we'll be following for every Signature Event. They also debate whether Pebble Beach is now obsolete for PGA Tour pros following the debut of a new tee on the sixth hole for this week's tournament. LIV is back for a second straight week, jumping from Riyadh to Adelaide for the league's biggest non-U.S. event. Aussie Elvis Smylie is riding high following his win and was rewarded with a big OWGR boost for his troubles! Speaking of world ranking points, Andy and Brendan also react to Chris Gotterup reaching No. 5 in the world following his win at the WM Phoenix Open. They briefly recap Monday's TGL match, featuring three players that aren't on the rosters of the teams that played, and PJ suggests there's a new conspiracy afoot in the SoFi Dome. Everyone is ready to roll for a full week in Chicago ahead of Thursday night's event at SPACE. Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12!

On this Tuesday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams reacts to the PGA TOUR's latest push positioning THE PLAYERS Championship as a Major, including Brandel Chamblee's headline-making stance that THE PLAYERS “stands alone” and is the best Major. Gary breaks down why the “Fifth Major” conversation keeps resurfacing, why Major history is more murky than people realize, and why retroactively awarding Major status would open an impossible can of worms.Brendan Porath of Fried Egg Golf joins from Chicago to talk about Chris Gotterup's rise and what makes his game feel sustainable. Brendan explains why Gotterup's wins have come on demanding stages, why Scottie Scheffler's week to week persistence is so compelling, and how the PGA TOUR's Signature Event pathways like the Next 10 and Swing 5 help shape fields. They also debate sponsor exemptions, field size, and what would make the system feel more merit based.Also from Fried Egg Golf, Kevin Van Valkenburg joins next to continue THE PLAYERS Championship Major discussion and how the PGA TOUR is going on offense with its messaging. Kevin digs into how “Major” status has shifted historically, why the TOUR wants more ownership of golf's biggest stages, and what a defining 2026 accomplishment could look like for Rory McIlroy. He also shares a thoughtful angle on Scottie Scheffler's balance and mentality, and what Tiger Woods' future impact could be as the PGA TOUR evolves.Gary closes the show with a quick historical "what if" involving Augusta National and the USGA, and why The PLAYERS conversation will only get louder as THE PLAYERS week approaches.Subscribe for more from 5 Clubs on Golf Channel and PGA TOUR Radio.0:00 Opening Thoughts13:54 Brendon Porath 33:07 Kevin Van Valkenburg 43:20 Final Thoughts

It was professional golf's party week and we sent Tim down to Arizona for the Waste Management Phoenix Open. He took in all the festivities and is gonna fill us in all the wild stuff he saw in Scottsdale. Chris Gotterup got his 2nd win of the season in a playoff over Hideki Matsuyama and a bogey on the last by Matsuyama sent it into a playoff, which Gotterup birdied the first playoff hole for the win. Scottie Scheffler made a run the last three rounds after an opening round 73, but he came up a shot short. We will give our reactions to the event and focus on some young players that stood out again and should get serious consideration for the Presidents Cup team. Patrick Read won again on the DP World Tour, his second victory in three weeks. This all but locks up a 2027 PGA Tour card for the former Masters champion. It also vaulted Reed to number 17 in the world as he looks to get back on golf biggest stage. Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple, Spotify & YouTube for weekly golf content.

On this week's edition of the podcast, Peter and Ronan wax lyrical over the WM Phoenix Open as Chris Gotterup stole the title from Hideki Matsuyama for his second win in three weeks to move up to 5th in the world. However, the fireworks might be outweighed by more crowd disturbances at this tournament.Pádraig Harrington made his 500th DP World Tour start last week but Gary Hurley was also another good news story as he showed a return to form in South Africa after a hellish year out of the game. Plus Patrick Reed leads the Race to Dubai by a considerable distance, might that prompt Rory McIlroy to add more events to his DP World Tour schedule in order to win his 8th Race to Dubai crown?

Andy and Brendan planned to go LIVE on YouTube as part of "Golf's Favorite Pregame Show," but Hideki Matusyama had other plans. After a few too many wayward drives, Matsuyama could not make this a Victory Monday for Boston and coughed up the WM Phoenix Open to Chris Gotterup midway through the first quarter of the Super Bowl. Andy and Brendan recap a jam-packed week in the desert, hitting on Scottie Scheffler's t3 finish, Hideki's driver woes, and Chris Gotterup's continued ascension into the game's top tier. Patrick Reed could be the only player hotter than Gotterup right now, remaining undefeated in regulation in his last three starts with a win in Qatar. He is all but guaranteed a PGA Tour card through the DP World Tour now, but Brendan doubts his "lifelong goal to win the Order of Merit" is a real thing. Elvis Smylie immediately paid dividends for Rippers GC, staring down Jon Rahm in Riyadh for a win in his LIV debut. The two then run through results from the rest of the world and a bit of news before unpacking Brandel Chamblee's latest masterpiece of a take. Brandel made waves by suggesting that The Players Championship is ABOVE the four majors in stature and should absolutely be qualified as a major championship moving forward. Andy and Brendan are aghast at this statement and share some unsubstantiated rumors suggesting that the current PGA Tour membership does not share Brandel's personal opinion. Andy then previews Thursday night's live show in Chicago by reading some internet information about the event. Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12!

Bad Bunny la rompe en el Super Bowl LX, a pesar de que el partido no fue el esperado. Pero también hubo mucho golf durante el fin de semana y tenemos un gran episodio con lo mejor del WM Phoenix Open que terminó con victoria para Chris Gotterup, en su tercera victoria en menos de un año. Además, la posibilidad de que se juegue un “quinto Major” varonil, así como el título del australiano Elvis Smylie en la primera salida del LIV Golf.

Chris Gotterup went ballistic, 17 year old US Olympian, and Vonn gets hurt again!

The police siren is in use for this Friday episode following a Thursday 73 from Scottie Scheffler that left him visibly angry on PGA Tour Live! Andy and Brendan discuss an uncharacteristic over-par round from the World No. 1, as well as Brooks Koepka's tough day at a course he's won at in the past. Not everyone is on the struggle bus: Chris Gotterup has the first round lead with fellow young stars Pierceson Coody, Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, and both Højgaards on his heels. In other PGA Tour news, they are once again starting up the "fifth major" debate around The Players Championship with a new promo that says "March Is Going To Be Major." Andy is ready for this weekend's Super Bowl after a week of hype in the Bay Area, but there's a brief preview of some events preceding next week's live show in Chicago. Somehow, this conversation ends with PJ challenging professional athletes to play him for an SGS season of "Pros vs. Joes." Patrick Reed could use someone to challenge him on the DP World Tour as he's once again right in the mix in Qatar. Brendan and Andy suggest any number of Euro stalwarts that could potentially become the "P Stopper" but it remains to be seen if anyone will step up. While Brooks is struggling in Phoenix, Smash GC is winning the team contest at LIV Riyadh, with some wondering if Talor "Sam Presti" Gooch has turned things around for good. The back half of this episode is dedicated to the PGA of America hiring Terry Clark as its new CEO, with Andy and Brendan both highlighting areas of need for the governing body now that it is under new leadership.

Kass and Syd are kicking off the 2026 PGA TOUR season with recaps, reactions, and plenty of side comments along the way. With the Sony Open in Hawaii opening the year, the girls break down Chris Gotterup's win, what it says about his rise on TOUR, and why the first event of the season always brings a little chaos. They run through the biggest moments from Hawaii, including Gotterup's emotional post-round interview that somehow turned into a Josh Allen crying comparison…same tears, very different endings. The episode also covers Ryan Gerard staying in the mix, Patrick Rodgers' continued search for his first win, Robert MacIntyre's snapped putter (spicey golfer) and honest self-reflection, plus encouraging signs from Jordan Spieth and Jake Knapp. The highlight of the episode is a candid interview with Hannah VanDerLaan, where the conversation shifts from scorecards to real life. Hannah opens up about love, life on TOUR, and what the 2026 season is shaping up to look like, offering an inside look at the personal side of the game that doesn't always make the broadcast. Looking ahead, Kass and Syd preview The American Express in La Quinta, talking through the three-course setup, the Saturday cut, and why this week tends to deliver something unexpected. They discuss Scottie Scheffler's season debut, Adam Scott making his first appearance at the event, Sepp Straka returning as defending champion, Will Zalatoris' long-awaited return, and the infamous bunker on the 16th hole. New season, new conversations, and plenty of Birdie Little Secrets still to come. Tune in every THURSDAY for new episodes!

Will Doctor brings you the sharprest preview and picks for the 2026 American Express. Week 2 rolls in with the TOUR leaving the Pacific behind and launching a five week West Coast stretch, starting in La Quinta for The American Express and its signature three course rotation. The setup is familiar, but the storylines are not. World number one Scottie Scheffler makes his 2026 debut, the rotation brings a mix of pure shootout tracks and one course with enough trouble to matter, and the conditions look tailor made for a low scoring week on poa greens. Before turning the page, we unpack what happened at the Sony Open. Chris Gotterup's win was not just an opening round blitz. Yes the 63 put him in position, but the tournament swung when the course firmed up, the wind got loud, and the grind arrived. We walk through the moment the runaway look stalled, how he managed the damage across the middle holes, and why the short game signs were the real headline. The sand saves, the timely up and downs, and the late Saturday birdie burst created the momentum that showed up again in a calm closing round. We also zoom out to what this result means going forward and why the market is reacting quickly. Then it is on to the desert, where the scoring expectation is extreme and the decision making gets sharper. Two of the courses invite flags and birdie runs, while the Stadium Course asks you to stay disciplined with water and bunkers waiting to punish one loose swing. With the final round on Stadium after the 54 hole cut, the conversation shifts from who can make birdies to who can avoid the one stretch that flips a card upside down. We also dig into what poa surfaces can change for certain profiles, why scrambling still matters even in a birdie fest, and how recent form can mislead if you do not account for course rotation and where players start. The episode closes with a full board walkthrough and a build of the week's betting approach without spoilers, plus quick thoughts on DFS construction, lineup philosophy, and what to watch Thursday and Friday to adjust before the weekend in La Quinta.

Despite a heartbreaking Bears loss to end their season in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs, Andy joins Brendan for what is still a Victory Monday episode of The Shotgun Start. Andy can't believe that Vijay Singh made the cut at the Sony Open and immediately takes a victory lap about hitting the Over-Under of 0.5 Vijay made cuts for the season. There is a brief Football Minute at the start of this episode commemorating a historic Bears season, but the conversation soon shifts to the PGA Tour's Opening Drive, which is now closed after just one event. Chris Gotterup won the Sony Open for his third win in as many seasons and perhaps further exemplifying why he was a Ryder Cup snub at Bethpage. Andy and Brendan discuss Gotterup's advantage off-the-tee that set him up for success at Waialae Country Club and his continued ascendence into the upper tier of pro golfers. The two then unpack other storylines from the first PGA Tour event of the year, such as a top 25 from Jordan Spieth, a made cut from Vijay, a Sunday stumble by 54-hole leader Davis Riley, and a Collin Morikawa missed cut. Andy also brings up Big Shot Bob MacIntyre's comments about his attitude costing him a win at the Sony and wonders if Bob gets a bit too much leeway from fans based on his on-course actions. Nacho Elvira took home the win in Dubai on the DP World Tour after a Shane Lowry collapse on the 72nd hole. Andy and Brendan are thrilled about a win for Nacho and give some props to Lowry for speaking to the media after a tough finish. After touching on the Latin America Am, Brendan shares some of Michael Block's latest comments... about Tiger Woods. Andy cannot believe that Blockie has a platform to throw out a gauntlet to Tiger Woods on the Champions Tour, and Brendan also can't believe Greg Norman is still being platformed to discuss his "loyalty to the PGA Tour." Speaking of loyalty to the PGA Tour, Patrick Reed has said that he'd be open to a return if he was offered the same deal as Brooks Koepka. This episode wraps up with another Football Minute as we put a bow on the Bears and look ahead to a loaded week of pro golf with the 2026 season now underway.

The PGA TOUR season is officially underway, and storylines are beginning emerge. Gary Williams reacts to the Sony Open, where Chris Gotterup secured his third PGA TOUR victory, a win shaped by a year of learning how to close while consistently contending. It's a performance that signals a player is ready to take the next step.Gary is joined by Sean Martin, Senior Manager of Content Development at the PGA Tour to examine what makes Gotterup a “star in the making,” the relentless win-first mindset of Robert MacIntyre, and how the early-season calendar—including the American Express—is influencing player schedules. The conversation also explores the significance of Scottie Scheffler sustaining elite form across back-to-back seasons, the impact of Brooks Koepka re-entering the PGA TOUR, and how the new schedule model is designed to maintain competitiveness while giving fans greater clarity.Former PGA TOUR professional Steve Wheatcroft joins to share perspective on how players approach the start of a new season, the mission behind The Mulligan Foundation and its work supporting mental health in golf, and the lasting impact of his book Cocktails & Range Balls on conversations around life on tour.

Despite the lack of (outdoor) professional golf during this first week of January, Andy and Brendan know the show must go on! The two are admittedly down in the dumps a bit with no Kapalua on our TV screens and wonder if we've already seen the final PGA Tour event played at the Plantation Course. This "rite of passage" may not be kicking off 2026, but there has been plenty of TGL to fill the void! The Bay GC and Atlanta Drive match on Tuesday night was a "second-screen filler" for Andy, Brendan, and PJ, and all three admit some level of fatigue with the screen golf league after just three matches of season two. Some of the new holes are nice, Chris Gotterup has been a star, and Roberto Castro has improved the ESPN broadcast, but nobody knows where TGL should rightfully stand in the golf ecosystem. Even with all of these outstanding questions facing its first league, TGL has expanded and founded a WTGL, coming this winter! Lexi Thompson, a semi-retired professional golfer, has signed on to be the face of the women's league, which Andy and Brendan both deem to be "too much" screen golf. Andy thinks a WTGL league could be better than the LPGA's week-to-week product, but doesn't have much faith that the TGL will figure out how to get there. There's a lengthy discussion about TGL rosters and how nobody can figure out who's on what team with all of the "alternates" in play before everyone agrees that too much time has been spent on screen golf in this episode. Speaking of teams, Talor Gooch made a strong, Sam Presti-like move adding Harold Varner III to Smash GC! This trade came as a result of Thomas Detry joining fellow Illini Thomas Pieters on the 4Aces, marking another signing for LIV during this Hot Stove season. Elvis Smylie has also joined the league, teaming up with Leish and Cam Smith on the Rippers. After a very, very abbreviated Schedule for the Week, Andy leads his yearly look at the Top 10 of the OWGR as the group predicts which players will fall out of the top spots by the end of 2026. Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12! We'll be hanging out at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of Q&A, Champs Tour Minute, and plenty of Bears chatter. A presale for FEGC members begins at 11 am ET on January 7, with general public tickets going live on January 9.
