We are four wide on this busy Friday with a lot of news to discuss as the week closes before the U.S. Open. Brendan is joined by KVV, Joseph, and PJ. They begin with the Golf Digest report on allegations against Phil Mickelson of nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact with a female employee at his home club that led to his removal from said club. They discuss the late stage spiral of Phil, and the seriousness of this now most recent allegation, the mess he’s made of his career, what could have been, and what will never be now. Then they get into a spate of LIV news from reports on the future of its remaining four events in the Financial Times, to a report on confusion about the contracts for players like Jon Rahm, to one more about the Australian Open perhaps becoming the “death knell” of LIV’s reimagined plans. Joseph brings some provocative comments about the TPC Toronto test for the Canadian Open and the PGA Tour putting bumpers up for the highest level of pro golf. KVV has a Flashback segment on a former rules kerfuffle at a U.S. Open that had players tweeting angrily all through the evening. Then they close with a wide-ranging PJ minute on the Knicks, an all time win, and an all time rant about Carmelo’s place in franchise lore.

For 50 years, the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday has helped shape Greater Columbus into a world-class sports destination. In this episode of Yes, Columbus, Boxer and Sarah sit down with Jack Nicklaus II, president of Nicklaus Design, and veteran golf journalist Dave Shedloski to reflect on the tournament's legacy, evolution and impact. In this episode, hear stories about the tournament's earliest days to and unforgettable moments at Muirfield Village Golf Club. This conversation celebrates the traditions, people and experiences that continue to make the Memorial one of the most iconic events on the PGA TOUR.Jack William Nicklaus, II -Jack Nicklaus II followed in his father's footsteps in more than just his name. Following a successful collegiate career at the University of North Carolina, Jack II enjoyed competitive success first on the amateur circuit and then the professional circuits. Jack II not only has a passion for the game of golf, but as a former University of North Carolina team alum and professional golfer, Jack has a deep understanding of the commitment both collegiate and progressional athletes take on both physically and mentally.In the late 1980's Jack II decided on a career in golf course design, designing his first golf course in 1991. A leading force in Nicklaus Family Design, he serves as President of the firm and works as both a solo designer and in collaboration with his father.In 2000, Jack II was named in Golfweek's “40 Under 40,” a list of 40 individuals under the age of 40 from the golf industry that the magazine felt would “most likely shape the game – and the business of the game, for the next 10,20 or 30 years.” The same year, Jack 11 was accepted into the prestigious American Society of Golf Course Architects, of which his father is also a member.Jack II has designed and directed nearly 55 golf courses and communities, both nationally and internationally. He has received numerous accolades for his design work and many of his designs or co-designs have hosted touring professional events or high-profile amateur championships, including the Club at Twin Eagles and Heritage Course at Ibis Golf and Country Club. He is Chairman of Muirfield Village Golf Club and The Memorial Tournament. Recently he was elected a member of The Captains Club. As an active leader in the community, he has served on several Boards of Directors, including Meeder Financial, U.S. Army War College, WorldServe, The Benjamin School and Nicklaus Children's Healthcare Foundation.Located in South Florida, Jack II is the first of five children born to Jack and Barbara Nicklaus. He is married to Allison Nicklaus, and is a father of five: Jack III, Christie, Charlie, Casey and Will. He is most proud of his 5 children and 2 grandchildren.David Shedloski has been a sports journalist for more than 40 years and holds the distinction as the only writer in golf history to have co-written books with Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.A Cleveland native and 1984 graduate of Miami (Ohio) University, Shedloski worked in daily newspapers, covering golf, Ohio State football and Cincinnati Reds baseball among other subjects. In 1995 he turned his attention solely to golf, contributing to a number of outlets. Today he serves as a contributing editor to Golf Digest and as editorial director of The Memorial, the official magazine of the Memorial Tournament. He has covered more than 500 golf tournaments worldwide and is the recipient of 17 writing awards in golf.Shedloski's author credits begin with “Golden Twilight,” published in 2001, a critically acclaimed chronicle of Nicklaus' final championship season in 2000. He also co-wrote “Memories and Mementos” with Nicklaus in 2005, and in 2015 he helped Arnold Palmer write his final memoir, “A Life Well Played,” which debuted in October 2016 on The New York Times bestseller list. His ninth book will be published in time for the 50th anniversary of the Memorial Tournament, titled: "Memorial Memories: The History of the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide and Muirfield Village Golf Club."Shedloski lives in New Albany, Ohio, and is the father of two children, Alexander and Elizabeth.

Anthony Kim's emotional comeback win had the entire golf world watching — but did it finally give LIV Golf the spark it's been searching for? In this week's episode of the golf podcast we'll ask the question everyone's debating: was Anthony Kim's LIV Golf win the turning point the league has been waiting for? We break down why Golf Digest called it an “authentic moment” that money couldn't manufacture, and why it mattered beyond the feel-good story—especially with LIV Golf now earning Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points. Kim's victory sparked immediate impact, jumping from No. 847 to No. 203 in the world rankings, putting majors back into the conversation and proving how much these points can change a season (and a career). We also unpack the optics of a rocky 2026 for LIV, including big-name departures, and whether Kim's comeback can actually move the needle on viewership. Plus, we dive into why LIV Golf Adelaide continues to be the model event for the league, drawing 115,000 fans in 2026 after 94,000 (2024) and 102,000 (2025)—making it one of the most attended golf events in Australia and a real example of “growing the game” in an underserved market. Finally, we read listener reactions from both sides of the PGA Tour vs LIV divide and debate whether this was a one-time moment—or the start of something bigger.
