LIV Golf is spending billions and losing millions every month — so is this a failing experiment or the beginning of a completely different future for professional golf? In this week's episode of The Golf Podcast we'll break down the latest developments surrounding LIV Golf's finances, including a new $267 million funding injection from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and reports that the league is losing nearly $100 million per month. We take a closer look at what these numbers really mean, separating headlines from reality as LIV's total investment approaches $6 billion. Is the league simply burning cash, or is there a long-term strategy unfolding behind the scenes? We explore how LIV is shifting its focus toward team competition, increasing payouts across all 13 teams, and potentially positioning itself more like Formula 1 with franchise-style ownership and long-term valuation in mind. We also discuss growing sponsorship revenue, the significance of new partners like Rolex, and whether these moves signal progress toward financial sustainability. Plus, we examine the looming impact of Bryson DeChambeau's potential contract extension and why his future could reveal LIV's true long-term plans. Is LIV Golf building the foundation for a global sports league, or just buying time while operating at a loss? Join us as we analyze the business strategy, economics, and future direction of one of golf's most debated leagues and ask the big question: is LIV Golf about to change course?

Episode 23 of the Full Program Golf Podcast is here - and this week we're joined by DP World Tour coach Sam Truman.Sam takes us through his journey into elite-level coaching and how he went on to work with four different money list winners in one year! From early ambition to life teaching the very best, he shares what it really takes to operate at the top of the game.We also get a behind-the-scenes look at what it was like coaching on the range during The Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club last year - the pressure, the atmosphere, and what it was like inside the ropes.With serious air miles under his belt, Sam talks us through some of the best golf destinations he's visited around the world, before giving us his ultimate Fourball - and there are some great names in there.As always, we round things off by breaking down last week's results on the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, including Anthony Kim's unbelievable win - an FPG favourite and someone we've rooted for from the very beginning!Another packed episode with tour insight, travel stories, and plenty of golf chat.Listen now.
De overwinning van Anthony Kim. Natuurlijk hebben we het erover. Hoe moeten we deze prestatie inschatten? We komen er niet helemaal uit. Feit blijft dat het een hele bijzondere W is. Is Morikawa terug op zijn hoogste niveau na de winst in het winderige en koude Pebble Beach? Moeten de de lange putter verbieden? Anne van Dam is moeder en nog veel meer ....
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.

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. Then we open it up to you: fair framework, or flop?

Is the “shallow the club” trend ruining your swing? In this episode, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf sit down with Wills Murray...AMG's newest certified instructor now coaching out of The Lab in Monterey, California. Wills dives into what he's seeing on the West Coast, and we break down the overcorrection epidemic that's sabotaging thousands of amateur golfers trying to “get more shallow.”From over-shallowing and clubface control to why your backswing is killing your rotation—this episode unpacks it all. We also dig into the Gears 3D motion capture system and how it's changing the game for understanding your swing mechanics. If you've ever dropped kicked a driver, sliced your irons, or tried to look like a PGA pro based on YouTube swings… this one's for you.
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?

In yet another major twist, Patrick Reed announced today that he's leaving LIV Golf — and it immediately raises some bigger questions about the league's future. In this week's podcast we react in real time to breaking news as Patrick Reed announces he's leaving LIV Golf and planning a return to the PGA Tour. We break down how Reed's situation is very different from Brooks Koepka's costly path back, explain why Reed won't face the same penalties, and walk through the full timeline from his LIV exit to when he's eligible to compete again on the PGA Tour. The bigger question, though, is what this move means for LIV Golf as a league, especially with multiple high-profile American players now heading back to the PGA Tour while many international stars remain committed to LIV. We also examine Reed's recent comments praising the PGA Tour, his motivation for returning, and how family, travel, visibility, and brand value may all be playing a role in these decisions. Plus, we discuss how Patrick Reed might be received by fans and players as he returns to a tour where he once played the villain, and whether the PGA Tour actually benefits from having polarizing personalities back in the spotlight. From exemptions and eligibility to majors, rankings, and long-term implications for both tours, we cover everything you need to know about Patrick Reed leaving LIV Golf and what could come next.

Dans ce 52eme épisode des les Tontons Golfeurs, nous recevons notre ami Adrien Saddier, après une année exceptionnelle avec sa première victoire sur le DP World Tour, synonyme d'une montée sur le PGA Tour.
In this episode, Kevin Hicks sits down with Jared Doerfler, founder of Hanna Golf Company, to explore his path from college golfer to launching a boutique, U.S.-based CNC-milled putter brand in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Jared shares how a background in manufacturing and a turning point in his personal life pushed him to leave a corporate VP role and bet on building something of his own within the game of golf.Jared walks through the hands-on realities of putter manufacturing, from teaching himself CNC machining to producing just six putters a day with a small team and two Haas mills. He explains why sound and feel are central to Hanna Golf's design philosophy, how customization plays a key role in their process, and why staying focused on putters allows the company to maintain quality and intention over rapid scale.The conversation broadens to the state of the golf industry, touching on the post-COVID participation boom, domestic manufacturing challenges, and the growing influence of direct-to-consumer brands and storytelling through social media. Jared also discusses building an engaged audience through his Perfect Putt newsletter and the long-term value of supporting American manufacturing.Kevin and Jared close by reflecting on the future of golf, from junior and female participation to evolving attitudes around course maintenance and culture. They explore how less rigid maintenance standards, par-3 courses, and entertainment-driven golf experiences are reshaping the game while still honoring its traditional roots.Visit EarthWorks at: https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ 2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/
This might be the most misunderstood concept in the golf swing… and it's costing golfers more than they realize.In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb break down one of the most commonly botched elements in the modern golf swing: shaft lean at impact.Golfers everywhere are obsessed with achieving that “tour-level look” — hands forward, clubface compressing the ball — but most are chasing a pose, not a position rooted in proper movement and mechanics. And the results? Inconsistent ball striking, weak compression, and frustration on the course.Mike and Shaun dive into:Why holding lag is ruining your swingThe truth about wrist angles and body positioningHow “posing impact” is hurting your real performanceWhy even elite players misunderstand what shaft lean actually isThe role of swing sequence and movement patterns in achieving natural compressionThis episode is for every player who's chased compression, tried to "hold the angle," or been told their hands need to be way forward at impact.

In this episode, I'm calling out a sneaky mindset mistake a lot of golfers make—confusing intensity with commitment.We'll dig into why laughing at yourself on the course isn't weakness—it's actually a sign of mental strength. You'll learn how your identity might be a little too wrapped up in your score, how to create space between a bad shot and your self-worth, and why loosening up can actually help you play better golf.Because mental toughness isn't about clenching your jaw and pretending everything's fine. It's about emotional flexibility, perspective, and the freedom to play without fear.Continue your mental journey at Your Mental Caddy HERE Join the NEXT Workshop Here Mastering Your Golf Brain - A Guide to Self-Coaching Mastering Your Golf Brain - The Workbook Mental Golf Journal - A Range for Your Brain Are all available at KathyHartWood.com/book Private coaching starts with a Free Discovery Call here: Email Kathy at Kathy@KathyHartWood.com Website: KathyHartWood.com
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).

What if everything you thought about early extension was wrong?In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb dive deep into one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed swing faults in golf: early extension.Most golfers (and sadly, a lot of coaches too) are watching the wrong hip, misreading camera angles, and making massive swing changes to fix a problem they don't fully understand. The result? Wrecked pivots, locked hips, and stalled progress.This is the real truth about early extension — and how it's often a symptom, not the root cause.Inside, we'll unpack:The #1 camera mistake that leads to misdiagnosisWhy your lead knee and hip rotation matter more than trail side movementHow most swing aids and drills make the problem worseWhat you should actually focus on to fix your swingWhy locking your pelvis down is destroying your power and consistency

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.
