Podcasts about dp world tour

Andy and Brendan went live after a big TGL Tuesday night playoffs, with one delighting in Jupiter getting to the finals and another down in the dumps over Boston's abdication of the No. 1 seed. They review the night that was down in the SoFi dome and ask some tough questions about the offseason, as well as Tiger's team perhaps skirting roster rules. Then they get to the schedule of the week, with some amusements and guys to monitor down at the Valspar in Tampa, where the course is a bit of a changeup for different reasons. They pick five guys to monitor and some one and done picks. The event of the week goes to a mysterious and un-televised DP World Tour event in China, where there will be "cartners" for the first two rounds. They spend the last chunk of the episode combing through Bryson's galaxy-brain dissertation about rollback down in South Africa, as well as some other quotes about his "compassion" for the world.

We will dive into the tournament, players complaining about the conditions and we will pose the question, what is wrong with Scottie Scheffler's iron play?

We will break down the Players Championship and give our picks for this week. Jon Rahm won his first LIV event in a year and a half in Hong Kong. We will talk about that and his comments this week about the DP World Tour. All this and some other golf news and events.

Andy and Brendan are just about ready to head down to Ponte Vedra for a "major" March event, but we've already missed out on one Players tradition! Andy can't believe that the yearly TPC Sawgrass arrival videos did not make it into Sunday's Arnold Palmer Invitational broadcast. NBC couldn't cut away from a duel between Daniel Berger and Akshay Bhatia on the back nine that ended with Akshay's third playoff win on the PGA Tour. The two break down Bhatia's comeback win and standing in the game as one of the premier players under the age of 25. The constant comparisons between Rickie Fowler and Arnold Palmer and some complaints from Justin Thomas regarding the setup at Bay Hill also feature prominently in this Arnold Palmer Invitational recap. The Players DID release their featured groups on Sunday afternoon, leaving a spot for an injured(?) Rory McIlroy and a struggling Justin Thomas to be on non-stop coverage for the first two rounds. Andy's "Event of the Week," the Puerto Rico Open, was "must see TV" with a leaderboard full of young talent including John Daly II, Blades Brown, and winner Ricky Castillo. Patrick Reed notched another DP World Tour top 10, but could not stop the blaze of Dan Bradbury at the Joburg Open. Brendan then shifts the conversation to Jon Rahm's win at LIV Hong Kong, his first individual win since 2024. Neither Brendan nor Andy are moved much by this win for Rahm and point out that maybe playing a LIV schedule is not the best preparation for a major championship, unlike the test presented by Bay Hill this week. Lastly on results, Zach Johnson is one-for-one in his Champs Tour career, taking down the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational! Sorry to all Ben Crane bettors, as he finished outside of the top 30 in his Senior Tour debut. This Gambling Podcast regrets the error. Check back on Tuesday as Andy and Brendan go live(?) to preview the 2026 Players Championship! Thank you to Optum for their support of our Players Championship coverage.

After a trip to the eye doctor, Andy is locked in for this Friday episode and is immediately thrilled by an unsubstantiated rumor from Brendan! about an ill-timed tattoo. PJ is out on a trip with his fellow Boy, leaving the two to recap Daniel Berger's stellar Thursday at Bay Hill by themselves. Andy and Brendan discuss signs of life from DB and Ludvig Åberg before debating whether the Arnold Palmer Invitational should replace The Players as the PGA Tour's "major." They agree that the setup is closer to a major championship test than March at TPC Sawgrass with Brendan claiming something can't be a major if they're playing ball-in-hand every year. After a brief bowling interlude, Andy decides that Luke Donald's third consecutive Ryder Cup captaincy is NOT an issue, much to PJ's dismay. In (potentially) related captaincy news, Brendan is still on cloud nine following the big Jup Links win and Tom Kim's ace that sent Tiger's team to the TGL playoffs. Will Tiger tee it up in the first round against the Ballfrogs? We have two weeks to find out. Jon Rahm will be teeing it up in South Africa soon, which Rory McIlroy seemed to think he may not be too happy about. Rory was asked to comment on Rahm's ongoing fight with the DP World Tour and we may have a beef breweing between these Ryder Cup teammates! Finally, Andy and Brendan share some college football tales from Augusta in honor of legendary coach and broadcaster Lou Holtz, who passed away on Wednesday evening.

Recorded live during our recent Global SportsTech Report 2026 launch event held at Meta's London HQ, this special episode hosted by SportsPro's Steve McCaskill brings together experts from Sportradar, the DP World Tour and Meta to explore how sports technology is moving from hype to measurable impact. Where is AI genuinely creating value? How are rights holders using data to drive fan engagement? Is immersive tech finally reaching its tipping point? And what does the next phase of transformation look like? From computer vision and predictive modelling to second-screen battles, generative AI and the rise of agentic systems, this conversation explores what's working today and what still needs to prove itself.Access the full report: https://www.sportspro.com/projects/global-sportstech-report/

Nico Echavarria wins the Cognizant Classic after Shane Lowry blows a 3 shot lead. Kevin Kisner is now a YouTube golfer. Jon Rahm decides to not sign a deal to remain a DP World Tour member. The Arnold Palmer Invitational kicks off this week for the 3rd Signature Event of the season. #golf #pgatour #Cognizant #ArnoldPalmer #TGL #Kisner #Rahm #DP

Brendan! is on edge early in this episode ahead of a win-and-in Jupiter Links match rounding out TGL's regular season. He shares his favorite team's lineup for the match with Andy and highlights management's decision to send out Kevin Kisner for this pivotal moment in team history. Things quickly transition into the Schedule for the Week for another loaded weekend of outdoor golf. The PGA Tour returns to Bay Hill Club & Lodge for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, one of the premier iron tests on the schedule. Brendan claims that you "cannot be a fraud" this week and believes imposters will be exposed around Arnold's Place. Andy's "5 Guys to Monitor" puts the spotlight on two players making their first PGA Tour starts of 2026 and some other big-name players searching for a win in Florida. There are some laments from Andy about the smaller, Signature Event field making Bay Hill not as fun for PGA Tour Live viewing, but Brendan pushes back and is excited to see all the screened-in porches. PJ jumps in to run the year's first installment of In/Out/Alternate in honor of this week's Puerto Rico Open, where the Past Champions category is putting in work after a slew of withdrawals. Ben Crane's much-anticipated (and highly bet on!) Champions Tour debut is blown by in the rundown in favor of a discussion about Jon Rahm's comments in Hong Kong. Many LIV players are stuck in the Middle East and reserves will be in action, but Rahm made the trip and decided to prolong his fight with the DP World Tour. He has taken exception to the DP World Tour mandating that LIV members play six events, making for a busy fall following the LIV season's end. Andy and Brendan do not feel any pain for Rahm, wondering how he's gone this far in his "delusional" fight against the DPWT. Will this mark the end of Rahm's Ryder Cup career? It looks like things are trending that way. Use promo code SGS30 to shop the Draddy Sport Spring collection: ⁠https://bdraddy.com/collections/draddy-sport-spring-26-collection

This week on Quiet Please Golf Podcast, we wrap up the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches and break down the late stumble from Shane Lowry — what’s the mindset in those moments, and what does it mean for him moving forward? We also look at the composure of Nico Echavarria, who battled through the Bear Trap, and preview storylines heading into the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Off the course, the business of golf gets interesting as McLaren steps into the game with McLaren Golf while Topgolf reportedly loses nearly $1B in valuation. And the global tour drama continues as Jon Rahm calls out the DP World Tour, labeling its penalties “extortion.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Todd and Chris talk all things golf. LIV gold and DP World Tour come to an agreement, and Brooks Koepka is back this week.

This week on Out of Bounds, we break down a breakout moment at Riviera as Jacob Bridgeman captures his first PGA Tour win — and does it in wire-to-wire fashion. The guys dig into what actually held up under pressure, why his putting separated him from the field, and whether this signals a legitimate new contender or just a heater week. Plus: Rory keeps knocking, Scottie climbs from last to nearly contending, and Adam Scott turns back the clock.Then the conversation shifts to the politics of pro golf. The DP World Tour hands out conditional releases to LIV players — but not Jon Rahm. What his reported refusal means, why it matters, and whether it could bleed into Ryder Cup dynamics.We wrap with a full preview of the Cognizant Classic at PGA National: why this course still demands real golf shots, why scoring trends have gotten out of hand, and who we're backing — including a deep longshot worth watching.

There never seems to be a quiet week in golf, and this week is no different. But before we get into the show, we touch on our Betr multi which was so close to coming off. Rory did the job, Min Woo feel agonisingly short of the Top 10, and Scheffler had a very good weekend, but a poor Thursday and Friday, missing the Top 5. So close, yet so far away....on the flip side a number of wolfpackers seem to have profited from Nick's dark horse tip of Aldrich Potgieter (including Mark and Dan).Nick is over the moon that his good mate US Tour Pro Austen Truslow won at Paraparaumu at the weekend, his first win, and Nick was commentating so saw the whole thing, and was chatting to Austen on the Saturday night before the final day.Huge win for Jacob Bridgeman at Riviera at the weekend, he hung on to claim the title. Mark did see him doing something that he doesn't like and explains to Nick, who completely agrees. And for Hostplus, this week our That's a Plus recipient is Adam Scott for his wonderful performance in Riviera.The BMW Touch of Class from Nick this week is not awarded to a person, although it sort of is a living, breathing, thing....he explains his choice to Mark.Massive news from the DP World Tour with their announcement of a settlement deal for LIV players which sees a number of them now able to play in certain DPWT events alongside LIV. But one player refused to accept the deal....we discuss.Rumour mill....Nick and Mark separately have some mail on something that, should if come off, would be huge for golf. It involves Golf Australia and LIV. They explain on the pod and read out the texts they have each received on this issue.Royal Melbourne's routing for The Australian Open. Good for matchplay, not for the Open. Mark says that Golf Australia need to 'change it now' before it is locked in.After the Turn, for Betr, the Top 5 toughest finishes in golf on courses Nick has played. #1 is a big one, and contains memories that still haunt Nick! He explains why.Lots of feedback - a message on something that a wolfpacker saw at LIV but has not heard about from anyone else, some suggestions on players who have come back from adversity who you feel Mark missed last week - one Australian male golfer and one international female golfer.Feedback on our Ritchie Smith chat from a week or two ago, and Travis (Sophie's Dad!) has written in after Nick and Mark reviewed 8-year old Sophie's golf technique on the pod last week. And then we hear of another young gun, a 14-year old this time, and Mark shares a text from legendary AFL journalist Mike Sheehan about his 15-year old grandson....the kids are killing it!In the PING Globals Nick runs around the world with all the results, and suggests that Talk Birdie To Me may be responsible for killing off Schefflers run of Top 10's....harsh.And for Golf Clearance Outlet, Mark's masterclass is on Rory McIlroy's impressive bunker play.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.

It is Victory Monday for Golf's Preeminent Gambling Podcast! Andy returns from vacation and immediately gives Brendan his flowers for picking Jacob Bridgeman to win the Genesis Invitational. PJ issues an apology for laughing at Brendan's belief in The Bridgeman, who cashed 100-1 tickets for bettors everywhere. Andy and Brendan recap the weekend at Riviera and shine a light on Bridgemans path to the PGA Tour and his first career victory. Kevin Van Valkenburg joins from the on-site media center in LA to share some observations from the ground, touching on Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Aldrich Potgieter, and more. Andy, Brendan, and Kevin also discuss the online pushback against Riviera after the pros tore up a soft course this week after all the rain on Thursday. After debating whether there should be a "Shotgun Start Book Club," there's a brief Tiger Woods conversation amongst the group, with everyone believing that he will, in fact, play on the Champions Tour in 2026. Brendan is convinced that Tiger will be playing the Masters, too! Andy moves to ban Spider putters on the PGA Tour before recapping the rest of the week in pro golf, including the Magical Kenya Open and Jeeno Thitikul's first-ever win in Thailand. In news, the DP World Tour has settled its fines with almost all of the eligible LIV players... except for Jon Rahm. Andy and Brendan wonder if this means his 2027 Ryder Cup status is truly in doubt as even Tyrrell Hatton decided to cut the check. PJ and Andy are both in Florida for the big Ballfrogs match on Monday night, but it remains to be seen if Brendan will make it down south through the snow. Stay tuned for some in-person TGL takeaways on Wednesday's episode!

Die Suid-Afrikaner Casey Jarvis het die Kenia Ope in Nairobi met drie houe gewen en sy eerste DP World Tour-titel opgeraap. Die 22-jarige Jarvis, wat 195ste op die wêreldranglys is, het in die laaste ronde ʼn agt onder 62 aangeteken en die toernooi onder 25 geëindig. Die Amerikaner Davis Bryant is tweede en nog ʼn Suid-Afrikaner, Hennie Du Plessis, is derde. Jarvis sê dit was wonderlik om vir die eerste keer voor sy pa te wen:

Jacob Bridgeman se corona en The Genesis Invitational, en un prestigioso Riviera Country Club, dócil debido a las condiciones climatológicas en Los Ángeles. El estadounidense vence –apenitas– a los nervios para su primer título en el PGA Tour y recibe el trofeo en manos de Tiger Woods, quien deja “en veremos” su participación en el Masters pero asegura que sí estará presente en Augusta National este abril. Además, lo que le sucede a Scottie Scheffler, la acción de la LPGA y Gaby López y la gran diferencia de premios entre circuitos, así como “los perdones” a jugadores de LIV Golf por parte del DP World Tour… menos a Jon Rahm.

"The Boys" are back in town for this Wednesday episode, joining Brendan to preview the PGA Tour's return to Riviera. Joseph starts out with a take regarding this week's event "honoring" the local community in the Palisades, setting the tone for this episode early. Brendan, Joseph, and PJ unpack Tiger Woods's pre-tournament press conference, in which he discussed his chances of returning to competitive golf in 2026, a potential Ryder Cup captaincy, and the PGA Tour schedule changes. It seems like Tiger may tee it up on the Champions Tour after all, with PJ already wanting to make travel arrangements for a few select stops later this year. Woods also gave some insight into the hard work he's been putting in on the 2027 PGA Tour schedule, alluding to the California swing being later in the summer, maybe as part of the playoffs. Joseph loves the idea of Tiger's mark on the game being a playoff schedule that he created, and Brendan thinks that the Genesis Invitational should be a "jumbo event" moving forward. PJ runs through his five favorite tee times for the first two rounds and also sets the scene for this week's Aon Swing 5 vs. Sponsor Exemption tracker, now a five-on-five fight for this week only! Joseph passes along Andy's 5 Guys to Monitor before highlighting a favorite tee time of his own. He also initially declines to make a One-and-Done pick before Brendan bullies him into it on air. Brendan has some sourced reporting from the Magical Kenya Open, sharing details about the caddie fees and "driving range" at this week's DP World Tour event.

This week's episode rides the momentum across global tournament golf — from James Nicholas breaking through on the Korn Ferry Tour, Elvis Smylie making an immediate statement on LIV Golf, and Patrick Reed returning to the winner's circle on the DP World Tour, to a Jersey-tough performance from Gotterup on the PGA Tour.

Because it's not just mindset — it's mechanics. We dive into why gear effect matters, how strike location directly shapes ball flight, and why performance can't be separated from preparation, movement, and the tools in your hands.

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.

AT&T Preview | Brandel vs. Phil | Bad Bunny Maye Superbowl | Vonn Crash | Jordan Hudson Spa ShirtIn this episode, we chat about the Super Bowl, discussing the halftime show, betting wins, and the cultural impact of music and sports. Bad Bunny was very controversial going into the game. Did he deliver the goods. Cal chats through his favorite half-time show performances. Drake Maye had a horrible post season this year. Could he be hurt? How do we think the Patriots will do in 2026-27? Patrick Reed has been on fire on the DP World Tour. He is an easy early lean for the Masters. Lindsey Vonn thought she was going to have a Tiger at Torrey moment in the winter games with a torn ACL, but had a terrible crash on Sunday. It appears that Travis Kelce is trying to be the next golf celebrity Pro-Am lock. He had a birdie on 16 at the WM Pro-AM last week and did the Happy Gilmore bull dance around the green. Did Bad Bunny have an impact on the NFL and music. Apparently Taylor Swift is recording her entire catalogue in spanish to spark growth under her new name Evil Rabbit. Bill Belechick's girlfriend Jordan Hudson sparked controversy this weekend with her Orchids of Asia tshirt she was sporting at a Superbowl party in support of the coach. The dig at Robert Kraft was apparently due to the hall of fame snub last week. On the show they explore the significance of cocktail garnishes, the dynamics of NFL injuries, and the traditions of Super Bowl parties. The conversation shifts to rap music's influence, highlights from golf tournaments, and the upcoming AT&T Pro-Am, while also touching on celebrity appearances and their effects on sports events. In this engaging conversation, Cal and Dan delve into the world of golf betting, analyzing player performances, odds, and strategies for upcoming tournaments. They share humorous anecdotes, discuss pop culture references, and recommend comedy specials, creating a lively and entertaining dialogue that blends sports insights with light-hearted banter.Chapters00:00Super Bowl Reflections03:00Cocktail Garnishes and Game Changers05:57Bad Bunny's Halftime Show09:05Cultural Impact and Music Trends12:02Super Bowl Party Experiences14:57Diversity in Music and Entertainment17:55Golf and Betting Insights20:58The Waste Management Tournament26:56Golf Predictions and Commentary30:04Brandel Chamblee and the Players Championship36:05Celebrity Influence in Golf39:59Betting Insights and Predictions50:57Fun Segments and Personal Stories54:54Diverse Business Ventures57:01Family and Legacy in Business01:00:02Golf Insights and Predictions01:02:58Entertainment and Media Discussions01:08:01Comedy Specials and RecommendationsApparel for the show provided by turtleson.

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!

LIV Golf has finally gotten the Official World Golf Rankings they’ve been waiting for, but there’s a major catch that has many players and fans frustrated. In this week's episode of The Golf Podcast we'll break down the biggest wrinkle in golf's power struggle right now: LIV Golf finally receiving Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points — and the immediate backlash that followed. After LIV revamped its schedule and format to meet ranking expectations, points are now being awarded right away, but only to the top 10 finishers (and ties) in individual stroke play. That hard cutoff has sparked frustration from players like Jon Rahm, who said it “doesn't seem fair,” and from LIV CEO Scott O'Neil, who argued the policy leaves the vast majority of the field with zero points. We'll explain why OWGR categorized LIV as a “small-field” situation, why no-cut events elsewhere still earn points deeper down the leaderboard, and what this means for players chasing majors, Ryder Cup points, and long-term career opportunities. To put it into perspective, we compare real recent points totals from the PGA TOUR (Waste Management Phoenix Open), LIV's season opener in Riyadh, and the DP World Tour event Patrick Reed won, plus how LIV's winner points stack up against a PGA TOUR alternate-field event like the Puerto Rico Open.

On this Monday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams reviews key developments from the weekend in golf, highlighted by the performances of Chris Gotterup and Patrick Reed.Golf course designer and World Curling President Beau Welling joins 5 Clubs with Gary from Italy to discuss his wide ranging career, current projects with TGR Design, and the evolution of modern golf architecture. Welling shares insight into how data, playability, and course design can challenge elite players while remaining accessible for golfers of all skill levels, along with a look at the growing demand for golf worldwide.Luke Clanton then joins the show to talk about his fast rise from elite amateur golf to earning his PGA TOUR card through PGA TOUR U. Clanton breaks down what it felt like playing under the spotlight at the WM Phoenix Open, why pressure is something he embraces, and how he's adjusting to life on tour from training and adding weight, to staying grounded with perspective from his family.They also discuss Clanton's comfort in a TV driven environment like TGL, what he's learning from being around the game's best, including Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, and how he keeps his routine and mindset consistent as expectations grow.The episode also looks at Patrick Reed's early season success overseas, his wins on the DP World Tour, and what that momentum could mean moving forward as he continues to compete internationally and in major championships.0:00 Opening Thoughts2:59 Recap of Weekend Winners14:00 Beau Welling27:50 Luke Clanton42:59 Patrick Reed wins in Qatar

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.

Justin Rose decimates the field at Torrey while Patrick Reed nearly won again on the DP World Tour a few days removed from announcing he's not returning to LIV, plus an LPGA fiasco at a frigid Tournament of Champions with the Orlando event shortened to 54 holes and Nelly Korda winning for the first time since 2024. Soly and TC recap the week along with DJ who joins for some first hand perspective on the LPGA side of things.

It was a historic weekend of professional golf as one of the game's greatest achievements finally came to an end. Andy begins this episode on a somber note as Xander Schauffele's "made cut streak" was snapped on Friday at the Farmers Insurance Open. Brendan joins in, remembering other iconic streaks such as Cal Ripken Jr.'s consecutive games played record and comparing them to Xander's totally-not-made-up mark. Justin Rose did make the cut and ran away with his second win at Torrey Pines, defeating a trio of players by seven shots. The 45-year-old is now ranked third in the OWGR and has played some of the best golf of his career in the last 12 months. Andy and Brendan wonder how much gas he has left in the tank, with Brendan predicting that Rose will compete in majors into his fifties. In other notes from the Farmers, Brooks Koepka finished t56 and had plenty of time on the broadcast on ESPN, Golf Channel, and CBS despite never being competitive. One of the two mules that Brooks brought onto the "ark" this week did make some money, kicking off our yearlong game of Brooks vs. Mules. Johnson Wagner also made his long-awaited CBS debut and did not disappoint, recreating shots while the tournament was still going on! The two also discuss Michael Brennan's DQ thanks to a Data Boy and strong weeks from Si Woo Kim, Joel Dahmen, and Ryo Hisatsune. The DP World Tour event in Bahrain ended in a playoff featuring Patrick Reed and ended in a wild concession that no one had ever seen before. The main event of this podcast is Andy and Brendan's recap of what went on at the LPGA's Tournament of Champions on Sunday. The event was shortened into a 54-hole event due to the course not being an "optimal competitive environment" for "competitive competition" according to some statements from the tour. Andy and Brendan tee off as they're astounded by the celebrity pro-am still being played on the very same course rather than the actual tournament. For those with tinfoil hats, Nelly Korda won for the first time in over 440 days as a result of the shortened event. There's also plenty of Illinois basketball talk at the end of this episode, as well as more invites from colleges across the country who want Andy, Brendan, and PJ to inspire the youth of America. 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.

The hits just keep on coming early in this 2026 golf season: Patrick Reed is BACK on the PGA Tour... in August. Andy and Brendan begin this episode with some other breaking news regarding a beloved recurring bit possibly coming to an end and some more details about the SGS Live Show coming to Evanston on Thursday, February 12. They then dive into the biggest news of Thursday: Tony Finau's new Jordan Brand clothing. After a conversation about fashion, Andy and Brendan discuss Patrick Reed's decision to leave LIV Golf and play the DP World Tour in 2026 before returning to the PGA Tour in 2027. They debate whether "LIV is dead," as reported by many, and wonder whether any other LIV players will reassess their allegiances after Brian Rolapp removed another hurdle towards a PGA Tour return for Reed. Andy deems that LIV deserves this outcome of losing its stars following a FOX Sports graphic promoting the season opener that misspelled the names of Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, and Martin Kaymer (henceforth known as Martin Kraymer on this podcast). Brendan reads Patrick Reed's statement, in which he claims he was "born to play on the PGA Tour," even though he voluntarily left said Tour years ago to play on LIV. The real winners in all of this? Guys like Laurie Canter and Victor Perez, who now have one less player to compete against for these big purses. Speaking of returning players, Brooks Koepka played his first round back on the PGA Tour on ESPN, carding a 73 on the South Course at Torrey Pines. Andy compares his "re-debut" to what it's like when Tiger returns from an injury, leading to massive over-analysis of every little thing in one round or tournament. Koepka played with Ludvig Åberg - always comfortable going to and from the course - and Max Homa, both of whom struggled mightily on Thursday. Justin Lower and Justin Rose are atop the leaderboard at Farmers. We end the show with the return of Golf Advice, featuring an Andy-submitted question for Brendan and a listener question that BP deems "human advice."

Not sure if you've heard about it, but Brooks Koepka is back on the PGA Tour this week! Andy joins Brendan for this Farmers Insurance Open preview coming off a big Ballfrogs win on Monday night. He's giddy about the Frogs continuing to earn the top spot in our TGL Power Rankings and makes a pitch for Michael Thorbjornsen to become a permanent member of the team. Brooks Koepka has not yet joined a TGL team, but he did join some assembled media for a pre-tournament press conference at Torrey Pines on Tuesday. He spoke about his nerves returning to the PGA Tour and seemed a little emotional discussing the path that led him back to the Farmers. Andy and Brendan unpack the half-hour presser before Brendan offers up some over/unders for Koepka's 2026 season. How many Signature Events will he play? Will he return to Bellerive for the BMW Championship in August? Will he ever suit up for Jupiter Links after all? Koepka will be in a featured group at the Farmers for Thursday and Friday which will be broadcast on linear TV thanks to ESPN. Brendan wonders if this is the PGA Tour showing off to Bryson and Rahm that they could also be prominently featured on the Worldwide Leader in Sports if they were to return before their approaching deadline. Could Patrick Reed also be part of this conspiracy? We'll have to find out. Andy shares his "5 Guys to Monitor (For Various Reasons)" ahead of this week's festivities at Torrey, keeping an eye on a horse for the course and a major champion that could be on the trade block. One-and-done picks are made for the Farmers with PJ's pick prompting a fun Medinah story from Andy. Elsewhere on the schedule, LPGA season kicks off this week at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions and Patrick Reed looks to stay hot on the DP World Tour in Bahrain. In news, the 2026 PGA Tour Player Advisory Council was announced and has a distinctly American feel, Nelly Korda has some *takes* about WTGL, and a DP World Tour player goes down for a performance-enhancing drug suspension.

Scottie wastes no time as the world number one wins in his 2026 debut at the Amex for his 20th career tour win while P wins on the DP World Tour in Dubai. We react to both tournaments plus some news and notes from the Champions Tour, TGL, LIV, and a distance update development from the USGA. We also preview the upcoming week at Torrey and the LPGA season debut plus our Nebraska trip film which will debut on our YouTube channel on Wednesday night.   Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro / Amex Recap 35:45 - PGA Tour News + TC's Notebook 42:15 - P's win in Dubai and DP World Tour Notes 57:00 - Rory on Rahm/Hatton paying fines 1:03:45 - USGA Distance Update Development 1:26:00 - La Sasso's move to LIV 1:36:45 - Nebraska trip and film Join us in our support of the Evans Scholars Foundation: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://nolayingup.com/esf⁠ Support our Sponsors: Titleist Golf Pride SoFi Arccos If you enjoyed this episode, consider joining⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Nest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: No Laying Up's community of avid golfers.

Scottie Scheffler is one-for-one in 2026! Andy and Brendan return to recap yet another victory by the best player in the world, his 20th on the PGA Tour and first at The American Express in Palm Springs. Andy immediately wonders if Brendan and PJ regret "fading Scottie" by taking the under on 6.5 wins this year. Neither of them relent, but they do admit that the over is off to a hot start. Andy and Brendan highlight Scheffler's ability to win both birdie-fests and hard-fought events, as well as his ability to never hurt himself, putting pressure on those playing in the same group as him on Sunday. One such example was Blades Brown, the 18-year-old phenom who entered Sunday tied with Scottie in second place. He had one of the few over-par rounds on Sunday playing alongside the World No. 1, pushing the Korn Ferry Tour member out of the top ten with a t18 finish. In Dubai, Patrick Reed won again on the DP World Tour during some rainy coffee golf. Afterwards, he revealed that he's not currently signed with LIV for 2026 and is contemplating playing a DPWT schedule to try to earn a PGA Tour card for 2027. Andy and Brendan wonder whether he'll actually do this and give Reed some props for being a golf sicko and world player. Stew Cink continued his reign over the Champions Tour, winning the season opener in Hawaii. Adam Schupak wrote up an article detailing the struggles of Zinger, Papa, and Peter Jacobsen calling Champs Tour action from PGA Tour Studios, sending Andy and Brendan over the edge with how serious they were. Peter Jacobsen just wants to see if Tommy Two Gloves is using the same gloves every week, and he can't do that from inside the moat! To end the show, Brendan runs through the LIV Awards results, including Jon Rahm winning Clutch Player of the Year, as predicted by Andy on Thursday afternoon. Andy then slightly amends his northeast snow take from last week after hearing from many listeners. For those wondering, yes, there are plenty of Football Minutes within this episode as well!

Some of the of things discussed on this Friday episode by a combination of Andy, Brendan, PJ, and KVV: Rory McIlroy's belief that Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton should just pay their DP World Tour fines Alejandro Tosti flying planes The Navy Pier Ferris Wheel New Mets ace Freddy Peralta The "Under the Influence" Award Bob MacIntyre's youth golf career Country music star Riley Green Comparing Angel Cabrera to Brooks Koepka Comparing Brooks Koepka to Eli Manning The TGL hole "Cenote" Scottie Scheffler's lack of "fire emoji" on the PGA Tour app Colin Montgomerie's 17th hole on Sunday of the 2006 U.S. Open Jeremy Schaap The 2010 Billboard No. 1 hit "Break Your Heart" by Taio Cruz (ft.
