Podcasts about Hero World Challenge

The girls are back and ready to spill the tee. In Season 3, Episode 4 of Birdie Little Secrets, Kassidy and Sydney dive into a whirlwind week in golf. They kick things off celebrating Hideki Matsuyama, who wrapped up his season the same way he started it: with a W. After outlasting Alex Noren in a playoff at the Hero World Challenge, Hideki snagged his second title at the event (the first dating back to 2016) and notched an impressive 21 worldwide career wins. Casual. No big deal. But you know the TEE is never far away… Wyndham Clark stirred the pot again, this time with some not-so-subtle public shade about the course conditions in the Bahamas. Let's just say his comments on Albany's Bermuda grass were anything but "politically correct," and Kass & Syd are breaking down the reactions. Then it's time to decode one of the most high-pressure, life-changing events in golf: PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry. The ladies break it down stage by stage because yes, it's confusing and explain exactly what's on the line: PGA TOUR cards, Korn Ferry status, future careers… the works. And to make it even juicier, they're joined by a special guest, Lea Martinson, who gives an inside look at what it's like supporting her fiancé as he prepares for the Final Stage. But the week doesn't stop there. Kass and Syd wrap with a sneak peek at the Grant Thornton Invitational, the mixed-team event bringing PGA and LPGA stars together, with 16 powerhouse pairings ready to battle it out in Naples.  This episode is one you'll want to listen to tee to green!

Chris McKee recaps everything that happened at the Australian Open where Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen stole the show by edging past Cameron Smith. McKee plays audio from the winner along with Rory McIlory and several Aussie stars. McKee then recaps Tiger Woods' state of the union address at the Hero World Challenge and closes by discussing Brooks Koepka's possible exit from LIV. 

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are back for a packed episode featuring a guest appearance from 2025 Australian Open champion Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen - fresh off his win at Royal Melbourne! Charlie opens and closes the show with some heartfelt reflections following his father's passing. The guys then jump into all the action from the Bahamas - Hideki Matsuyama's outrageous short game and putter collection, grading Scottie Scheffler's first year with a new putting grip, Wyndham Clark's viral “turf conditions” quote, and a behind-the-scenes look at Smylie's pro-am round in Albany. Then Rasmus joins the show — jet-lagged, honest, and riding high. He walks Smylie through: • The intense crowds in Australia • Playing head-to-head with Cameron Smith • How firm Royal Melbourne truly played • The near-impossible chip on 18 • The pressure of closing out a win overseas • How he processed the moment on a 20+ hour flight home Thanks for watching — subscribe for more episodes, interviews, and weekly golf breakdowns!

The final week of meaningful golf for 2025 has came and went with the Australian Open at Royal Melbourne, Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas and the DP World Tour in South Africa. We will review the three events and give our thoughts on each of them. It is simulator season for those of us in cold climates and we are going to discuss the good and bad of simulator golf and whether it has become a necessity in the winter. Brooks Koepka made the news this week with talk of him not playing LIV Golf. Where this will go is anyones guess, but we will discuss some possibilities for Koepka.

This week Hideki Matusyama wins the Hero World Challenge in a playoff over Alex Noren. Plus, the Chiefs Dynasty might be cooked, the Holiday season is upon us and Making The Cut: Appliances. The post Episode 395 – Wins A Win appeared first on Drive The Green Golf.

Before the main event, Jeff and Scott catch up on a busy couple of weeks in golf, covering the Australian Open, the Hero World Challenge, Q-Schools, and the upcoming Grant Thornton Invitational. Then, we take a look at the enduring debate: The Golf Dress Code. We trace the journey of golf clothing from the heavy tweed and corseted outfits of the 19th century—a uniform of the elite—to the performance polo shirt popularized by Arnold Palmer. We analyze the Public vs. Private course divide, discuss the high-profile acceptance of hoodies on the PGA Tour, and revisit the controversial 2017 LPGA dress code tightening. Finally, we forecast the future: high-tech fabrics, gender-neutral designs, and the demand for sustainable golf wear. Is it time to abolish all dress codes in the name of growing the game?

Toch best een drukke golfweek met 2 majors en een vakantie-toernooi van een groep vrienden. Met stip op 1: Australian Open, wat een heerlijk toernooi was dat. Elk jaar laait de discussie weer op; is dit majorwaardig? Daar doen wij natuurlijk ook aan mee. Het major van Afrika is daarentegen niet majorwaardig, maar wel vermakelijk. En wat te zeggen over de Hero World Challenge, tja…. niet veel. Scotty was niet in topvorm, Hideki wel. Verder ook wat lijstjes, beste sportman, vrouw en ploeg van het jaar. De best verdienende vrouwelijke sporters van 2025 en wie wordt de Sportpersonality of the Year in Engeland, Rory of toch Lando?

Soly and TC talk all things Royal Melbourne and Australian Open as one of the best courses on earth took center stage this week with Cam Smith three putting on the 72nd hole handing Rasmus Neergaard-Peterson a one shot victory. Expect minimal birdies and bogeys discussion, we're here to celebrate RM, react to Rory's comments comparing it to Kingston Heath and have a fun hypothetical fifth major discussion.  From there it's on to the Nedbank in South Africa and the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas where Kristoffer Reitan and Hideki won those respective events and some notable quotes from Wyndham, Jordan and Tiger. We close with some thoughts on the reaction to our midweek pod with JT and the aggregation around his comments on the green speeds at Bethpage plus some assorted news and notes.

For the first time in six weeks, this is NOT a Victory Monday episode of The Shotgun Start. Andy and Brendan are both deflated after losses by the Bears and Browns but at least a great weekend of professional golf made up for it! Despite zero wins, a Football Minute kicks off the show with plenty of ranting and raving about the College Football Playoff and its selection process. To tie this back to golf, Andy ponders which golfer would "pull a Notre Dame" by taking their ball and going home after not getting an exemption into an event. After that detour, the Australian Open is first up on the weekend recap. The two focus on how to make this event the fourth men's major instead of the PGA and wonder whether a new date on the schedule would convince more top players to make the trip down under. Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen picked up his biggest win to date and an invite to next year's Masters. Cam Smith and Adam Scott also popped on the leaderboard in their home country to secure some OWGR points and in Scott's case, a spot in the 2026 Open. The Nordic takeover continued at the Nedbank where Kristoffer Reitan withstood some heat from Dan Bradbury to shore up his own trip to Augusta in April. Finally, Andy and Brendan begrudgingly discuss the Hero World Challenge. Wyndham Clark was unhappy with the conditions at this "hit-and-giggle" event and Tiger joined his Jup Links teammate Kevin Kisner in the booth to reminisce about Kisner's infamous bunker shot at the SoFi Dome. After another sleepy tournament week, Andy and Brendan are left wondering why this event even exists. After a brief bit of news, PJ is called on to unpack a bizarre Skechers World Champions Cup and his trip to Madison Square Garden to watch the Utah Jazz's great young core. The 2025 Year in Review (probably) resumes on Wednesday!

El Australian Open mostró una vez más por qué es uno de los torneos más importantes que existen en el mundo, tras la victoria del danés Rasmus Neergard-Petersen en Royal Melbourne. Además, la buena actuación de Carlos Ortiz, quien termina una buena temporada, algún posible resurgimiento de Cameron Smith y terminamos con repaso del Hero World Challenge, un evento que no termina por convencernos, ni siquiera por la presencia de Tiger Woods.

Join Bryan Hayes, Jeff O'Neill and Dave Feschuk for Hour 1 on OverDrive! The guys discuss LeBron James and the Lakers playing in Toronto and his next steps in the NBA, the Maple Leafs looking to keep their winning streak going against Carolina, Kyle Tucker visiting the Blue Jays' Dunedin facility and Bo Bichette's future with the Blue Jays. TSN Hockey Insiders Darren Dreger and Chris Johnston on the headlines around the NHL and the Scottie Scheffler's dominance at the Hero World Challenge.

Season 3 Episode 3 brings major chaos, questionable bragging rights, and a whole lot of golf tee. Kass and Syd dive right into Thanksgiving break stories, including Syd's borderline outrageous claim to fame: playing with a Korn Ferry Q-School player, draining a 60-foot par putt, and getting promoted to Producer. Kass, naturally, has feelings about all of this. Then the girls break down what's happening at the Hero World Challenge, Scottie Scheffler being Scottie Scheffler, Tiger dropping schedule updates, and Keegan Bradley winning a Skins Game that somehow ended with Xander Schauffele making… zero dollars. Yes, zero. They also sat down with this week's guest, PGA Professional Golf Coach, Georgia Ball, who brings the kind of insight Kass and Syd think a few pros might want to hear. And because the drama never stops, the episode wraps with a preview of next week's big storyline: Final Stage of 2025 PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry, where the pressure is insane, the rules just changed, and the last TOUR cards for 2026 are up for grabs. Oh, and next week's guest? Let's just say you'll definitely want to tune in.  Tune in every THURSDAY for new episodes! Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @BirdieLittleSecretsPod

This week on the Quiet Please Golf Podcast, Tiger finally speaks—and we break down what he said, what he didn’t say, and when (or if) the Big Cat will tee it up again. We dive into a loaded Hero World Challenge preview, with storylines that could shape the early 2026 season. Plus, the PGA Tour is quietly shrinking its schedule, and we unpack what that means for players, sponsors, and fans. And because we can’t help ourselves, we finish with a little football talk… seriously, what is going on with Christian’s Eagles?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time to put the Year in Review on pause for a loaded week of golf in December. Andy and Brendan are relieved to be talking about current events and the content gods have delivered, providing nuggets spanning from Bethpage to the Bahamas. They begin with the Hero World Challenge and its host "Doctor" Munjal. Brendan calls for an early Thirstbucket of the Week following his yearly media availability in Albany and questions what he's a doctor of after all. PJ chimes in with some quick research finding that his doctorates may or may not be honorary, leading Andy to refer to him as "Mr. Munjal" for the rest of the show. Tiger Woods also spoke on Tuesday about his playing future and the future of the PGA Tour. He stayed in line with reports about Brian Rolapp's 20-event schedule coming as soon as 2027 and confirmed that he'll be OUT for Jup Links in the first half of the TGL season. Brian Rolapp found himself in front of a microphone last week and made sure to mention that the "middle class matters," which is sure to put the minds of mules at ease. In more from the Ryder Cup that will never end, Justin Thomas appeared on the No Laying Up podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the American loss at Bethpage. Within the interview, JT took exception to the green speeds at The People's Country Club and said that they were not what Keegan Bradley asked for. He stated that "they" argued with the Americans about the speed, which was aggregated to no end on social media. On the very (too?) busy Schedule for the Week, the Hero has brought in outside help for its Pro-Am, Rory is teeing it up at Royal Melbourne with Dr. Chipinski, and Will Zalatoris makes his return at the Nedbank in South Africa. With almost all of the world's top players in action this week, Andy and Brendan wonder if there are some scheduling issues that lead to three tournaments spreading out the top-end talent as opposed to getting them all in one place to compete against each other. Lastly, the Skechers World Champions Cup will somehow air on ESPN and ABC this weekend, so PJ has a full primer ready to go for those tuning in for their first Champs Tour action of the year. Friday's episode will contain a full, detailed discussion about TGL's Gil Hanse intro video that set Golf Twitter ablaze on Tuesday afternoon.

In this hour of VSiN PrimeTime, hosts Tim Murray and Matt Youmans are joined by Jeff Sherman, VP of Risk Management Westgate Superbook, to talk about betting the NBA, NFL, and Hero World Challenge golf tournament. Tim and Matt also discuss College Basketball and College Football. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A Year in Review episode on the first of the month, AND it's a Victory Monday? Andy and Brendan are in high spirits following the holiday weekend and are joined by KVV and PJ for the third installment of the 2025 Year in Review. For those unaware, the date is December 1 and the Chicago Bears are atop the NFC standings. Andy can't believe what he's seeing and is still rolling following a big Black Friday win over the defending Super Bowl champions. The crew discusses David Puig's win at the Australian PGA and some other assorted notes from the first of two weeks down under for the DP World Tour before moving on to the Year in Review. KVV gets called in from the bullpen to handle the WM Phoenix Open to kick things off. He regales his audience with tales of Andy selling off property on "Just a Guyland" before Spieth popped at TPC Scottsdale and dives into LIV's 2025 kickoff in Riyadh. Brendan then takes the baton and looks back on a "muted" Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines. This event moved from Riviera due to the LA fires and was the week after Tiger's mom passed away, leading to a more subdued event than usual. Andy brightens the mood by unpacking the TGL Presidents' Day marathon and what was perhaps the true "Event of the Year," the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld. Everyone takes a great amount of joy as the pillow fight of a playoff between Brian Campbell and Aldrich Potgieter is pored over in great detail. Lastly, PJ closes out this episode with some more TGL memories, including the league's first-ever one day signing and Brendan's second trip to the SoFi Dome. Jake Knapp's big week at the Cognizant Classic is also discussed, but the true news of the week came in the form of letters to Sam Saunders regarding exemptions into the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. We will put the Year in Review on pause for a few shows as pro golf heads to one of the world's finest courses for the Australian Open and PGA Tour stars will tee it up at the Hero World Challenge this week.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are back on a mid-December Smylie Show with a triple feature: the Tiger Woods vs Scottie Scheffler debate, an interview with the founder and CEO of Swag Golf, Nick Venson ... and, of course, more commentary on UNC's shock hiring of Bill Belichick as their next head football coach.We begin the show with Charlie sporting a Drake Maye jersey and firing off some Tar Heel homer takes, only to have his enthusiasm dampened by noted LSU Tiger Smylie. When the golf talk finally begins, it is Scottie Scheffler's ninth win of 2024 at the Hero World Challenge that revived some hot-take comparisons online to Tiger Woods' best seasons. In particular, SK and CH take a look at Tiger in 2000 and Vijay Singh in 2004 in comparison to Scottie in 2024.The second half of the show features Smylie's conversation with Nick Venson, the founder and CEO of Swag Golf. Nick charts his fascinating journey from a kid who collected Scotty Cameron putters, to producing a special line of headcovers for the USA Ryder Cup team, to now making his own Swag putters via an innovative process.CHAPTERS:00:00 - Intro00:53 - UNC Football04:17 - Bill Belichick Legacy09:25 - Greatest of All Time Debate15:36 - Comparing Scottie Scheffler's 2024 Season to Tiger's 2000 Season18:17 - Tiger Woods' Strong Handshake19:25 - Scottie vs. Tiger and Vijay: A Comparison22:30 - Scottie's 2024 vs. Palmer and Nicklaus25:10 - Why Tiger Woods Remains Relevant26:30 - Scottie and Vijay34:05 - Ranking Scottie's season41:45 - Interview with Nick Venson of Swag Golf44:30 - Nick's Entry into the Putter Business46:35 - Nick's Journey in Starting Swag Golf51:40 - Inspiration Behind Putter Designs55:10 - Engaging the Younger Generation57:30 - Strategy Behind Limited Releases1:00:26 - Swag Ryder Cup Captain's Gift1:03:59 - What's New from Swag Golf1:05:31 - When Did Swag Golf Achieve Success?1:08:19 - Nick's Insights1:10:00 - Wrapping Up

At long last, it's major season on the 2024 Year in Review! Back from the Hero World Challenge interlude, Andy and Brendan resume the Year in Review and get through the year's first major, Scottie Scheffler's second Masters win. Andy begins the show by remembering Peppy Peter Malnati's victory at the Valspar, his first PGA Tour win in nine years. Peppy Peter is moved to tears in his post-round interview, and finally plays in his first Masters tournament a few weeks later. Brendan then moves through the Texas Children's Houston Open, where Stephan Jaeger secured his permanent call-up from AAAA player, outlasting Scottie Scheffler, Tony Finau, Tosti Boy, and more. Tosti becomes a national name this week, and Andy and Brendan remember the finest Tosti Tales from earlier this year. PJ jumps in to recap Akshay's shoulder-popping win at Valero, Anthony Kim's "vaguely remembering" Tiger's 2019 Masters win, and a thrilling ANWA finish. From there, it's a group effort on the Masters, covering Monday's total eclipse, Zach Johnson (not) cursing at patrons, and Scottie pulling away from the pack on Sunday after weekend charges from Ludvig Åberg, Collin Morikawa, and Max Homa.

On this episode of The Smylie Show, join Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme as they recap the Hero World Challenge! They break down yet another "inevitable" Scottie Scheffler performance en route to his ninth win in 2024, recap Tiger Woods' commentary as Smylie sat alongside him in the booth, and discuss a Justin Thomas equipment change that could pay major dividends in 2025. The guys also dive into Charlie's experience at the Butch Harmon School of Golf, College Football Playoff selection drama, and the wild Bill Belichick to UNC rumors. Highlights:• JT's new 46-inch driver and the distance he's added• Scottie Scheffler's new putting grip• Tiger Woods' insights from the broadcast booth• 2025 major championship predictions• College football playoff controversies and Bill Belichick CHAPTERS:00:00 - Welcome back05:24 - Charlie's Butch Harmon Experience08:02 - Scottie Scheffler is Inevitable10:18 - Scottie's New Putting Grip17:00 - Scottie's Ball Striking Analysis18:45 - Tiger Woods in the Booth22:16 - Scottie Scheffler vs. Tiger Woods25:50 - What's Ahead for Scottie Scheffler29:03 - Justin Thomas38:54 - Final Thoughts on the Hero World Challenge41:08 - Tiger in the Booth and Smylie Show Potential47:10 - UNC Football and Bill Belichick Discussion51:11 - College Football Playoff57:47 - College Pick'em Winner Announcement59:54 - Next Guest: Jessica Korda

It's been a while since the last one, but Andy and Brendan break down yet another Scottie Scheffler victory in this Monday episode. Andy begins by claiming a Victory Monday, as his household's rug saga has reached a conclusion on the fourth purchase and Swag Sports Minute recaps where Illinois and Boston College football will be bowling later this month. From there, the two get into the golf, starting with the Hero World Challenge. Scottie Scheffler, now using the claw grip with his putter, won for the ninth time in 2024 with a dominant weekend showing. Andy and Brendan discuss the psychology of competing against Scheffler and how many players believe they can beat him with their "B" games on a Sunday. They also discuss a new-look Justin Thomas, whose speed training was on full display in Albany, often outdriving the rest of the 20-man field. The conversation then shifts to the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa, where Aldrich Potgieter had a chance to win in his home country before making a triple bogey on the par three 12th. Andy and Brendan debate whether they've seen a player in contention have a worse singular hole. Joaquin Niemann won again in Saudi Arabia, taking down fellow LIV golfers Cameron Smith and Caleb Surratt in a playoff at the Saudi International. In news, Greg Norman visited Indianapolis and acknowledged that his time as LIV's CEO is coming to an end sometime soon. This episode closes with a lively conversation about the College Football Playoff, with Andy and Brendan both wondering how the No. 1 seed, Oregon, has the toughest route to a championship. Before Brendan can sign off, PJ jumps in to share the breaking news of Juan Soto becoming NYGC's biggest fan, as he's signed a 15-year deal with the New York Mets.

(00:01) Sports Talk This chapter takes us on a journey from the sunny skies of Southern California to the thrilling world of sports betting and collegiate athletics. I chat with Jeff Smith about the unrelenting sunshine in SoCal and the recent Battle for Atlantis basketball tournament, where the unranked University of Louisville Cardinals made waves by defeating the Indiana Hoosiers. We also touch on the intense Ohio State vs. Michigan rivalry, celebrating Indiana University's triumph over Purdue in football. As football season winds down, the focus shifts to the Hero World Challenge golf tournament in the Bahamas, where a friend is poised to defend his pro-am title. We round out the conversation with some sports trivia, highlighting the impressive careers of two-sport athletes like Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders, and the often-overlooked Brian Jordan. (12:14) Improving Swing Angles for Better Control This chapter brings to light our surprise at being ranked 49th in the top 100 golf podcasts in the United States, humorously suggesting a mix-up while also acknowledging the need to step up our game. We transition to a fascinating discussion about working with former power-hitter baseball player Howard Kendrick, who already possessed impressive power but needed help with angles in his golf swing. We break down the specific tweaks made to his posture, ball position, and grip to optimize his swing. Using his baseball background, we helped Howard understand the golf club as an extension of a bat, focusing on arm positioning and club face alignment. Through practical demonstrations and adjustments, Howard quickly grasped how to control his shots, hitting straight, left, and right, effectively translating his baseball skills into golf success. (24:53) Mastering Golf Swing Basics This chapter focuses on the importance of balance and simplicity in achieving an effective golf swing. I share a story about working with a former college athlete who was overly focused on the technical aspects of his swing. By emphasizing balance and straightforward techniques, such as stabilizing the stance and aligning the club through a small gate of golf tees, the athlete learned to swing with greater speed and precision. The conversation highlights the significance of establishing a solid foundation and visualizing key objectives before addressing more complex elements of the swing. We also explore the concept of timing and the realization that a golf swing occurs in a very short timeframe, underscoring the importance of focusing on the essentials rather than getting lost in intricate details. (35:19) Club Fitting and Player Preference This chapter focuses on the importance of proper golf club fitting and how it impacts athletic performance. We explore how athletes often have to make physical adjustments when using ill-fitting equipment, which can hinder their ability to perform at their best. The conversation emphasizes the significance of receiving a golf lesson from an instructor who understands the need for maintaining an athletic stance and posture. Additionally, the chapter highlights the value of seeking out a quality club fitter who is brand agnostic and offers a wide selection of equipment to ensure a perfect match for the player. We also discuss the wisdom of gifting golfers with gift certificates for lessons or fittings, allowing them to make personalized choices for their gear and instruction. (43:28) Popular Titleist Golf Balls as Gifts This chapter explores the universal appeal of gifting Titleist golf balls, particularly the Pro V1 and Pro V1x models. We discuss how these golf balls are widely recognized for their quality and control, making them a coveted gift among golfers. Even those who typically use other brands like Callaway, TaylorMade, Srixon, or Bridgestone would appreciate receiving a box of Titleist golf balls. The conversation highlights how golfers are likely to express gratitude for such a gift, and they would happily use them on the course, especially since they don't have to purchase them themselves. We also mention that even the Titleist AVX balls are a great choice, and emphasize that spending around $50 for a dozen Titleist balls is a worthwhile investment that will bring joy to any golfer.

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.

Things are back to normal on this Wednesday episode as Andy and Brendan pause the Year in Review to discuss the Hero World Challenge and plenty of news from across the world of golf. Brendan recaps an amazing Browns loss on Monday Night Football to start things off and Andy wonders what the career of Justin Thomas would look like if he took a Jameis Winston approach to improvement (praying to be delivered from pick sixes). From there, the two recap Tiger's annual press conference at the Hero, where he claimed that his competitive fire is still burning but he's unable to compete physically right now. Andy and Brendan discuss key takeaways from the media session and wonder if Tiger's waning energy is being wasted on the PGA Tour-PIF negotiations. Meanwhile, the LIV Hot Stove is scorching as Thomas Pieters was dealt from the RangeGoats to the 4 Aces in exchange for... nothing and Tony Finau is rumored to be the latest to make the jump after withdrawing from the Hero on Monday. An all-new "Commissioners Minute" segment leads to debates about Jay Monahan's place among sports commissioners after it was revealed that his 2023 salary totaled $23 million. "Commissioners Minute" continues with the news of Mollie Marcoux Samaan's resignation as the LPGA's leader also breaking on Monday. Andy and Brendan then move to the metaverse, where Tiger claims that he will be ready to play when Jupiter Links GC hits the SoFi Center for the first TGL season in January. Unbeknownst to this podcast, the NYGC squad had a media day in New York, where a non-invited PJ missed out on a chance to have Mets/NYGC owner compare Matt Fitzpatrick to Sean Manaea. The premier golf gambling podcast then makes some picks for the Hero World Challenge before running through notables at the DP World Tour's Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa. To close things out, PJ recaps the first round of Champions Tour Q-School's final stage, where some SGS favorites are looking to secure status for next year.

This is the latest entry in SGS's “recorded from a car” library, which grows in despair. Andy calls in from North Carolina to talk about the efficacy of political yard signs that peppered him on his travels around the state this week. Then they immediately get into Champions Tour chatter, with some intel on the rampant cart usage, the overly generous playoffs cut lines, and a sundry of items that were dropped on PJ's doorstep. They discuss the problem with the Zozo Championship fitting into the fall schedule, with its limited field and free points. The big news of the week, the TGL ticket prices and schedule release for next year. Is it too much money? Will it be any good? They close with some thoughts on Scottie playing Tiger's Hero World Challenge, and if he'll be suspended for playing in the Showdown.
