Precision in practice. Trust on the course. That's the theme this week — and Viktor Hovland just proved it in the most dramatic way possible.Episode 128 is here, and Scott's breaking down one of the wildest weekends we've seen in a while. The Travelers Championship — the last $20M Signature Event of the year — couldn't even finish on Sunday. Scheffler and Hovland finished tied at 21-under after an 83-minute rain delay blew the whole thing wide open, with Hovland roaring back with three straight birdies to force a Monday playoff. He closed it out on No. 18 the next morning — his first win since last year's Valspar — and we've got the full story of how he got there.Over on the LPGA side, the KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Hazeltine brought its own Sunday drama, with Haeran Ryu holding off a hard-charging field and Nelly Korda chasing a third straight major. And on the DP World Tour, Eugenio Chacarra birdied the 72nd hole to steal the KLM Open by a single shot. Different tours, same story all week: the player who trusted their game in the clutch walked away with the trophy.That's exactly what this week's improvement segment is about — precision in practice is what lets you trust it when you play. Hovland didn't claw his way back by gritting his teeth and trying harder. He bogeyed four of his first ten holes, used that rain delay to reset, and came out firing three straight birdies — because the mechanics were already in there. That's not luck, that's reps. That's what it means to Own Your SSWING —Scott breaks down what that means for your own game, and why what you do between rounds is what shows up when it counts.Join the SSWING SocietyBe part of a growing community of golfers, movers and performance-minded individuals committed to mastering their game.

KrFU-leder Ingrid Olina er god på å skape debatt, men er konfliktsky på privaten. Og det er ett tema hun er lei av at alle snakker om: strikking.
KrFU-leder Ingrid Olina Hovland har havnet i blåsten med sine uttalelser om barnehage og abort. Hos oss får hun en time på å utdype synspunktene sine, svare på innvendinger og ikke minst gå gjennom et kristeligt utdrikkingslag.
Kritikken var intens da den ferske KrFU-lederen Ingrid Olina i høst uttalte seg om abort. Hun har tydeligvis ikke latt seg skremme. Nå har Hovland tatt et oppgjør med norske mediers dekning etter at Rød ungdoms leder Alexandra Øhrn Fredwall tok til orde for fri abort i hele svangerskapet.I Stavanger er fem bispekandidater blitt til tre, men det har ikke vært spesielt sterkt engasjement å spore. Ble konservative desillusjonert da deres favoritt i de to foregående rundene ikke ble utnevt tross størst oppslutning i den lokale avstemningen?Margit Skinlo har nettopp fylt 100 år, men ser ikke misjonsoppdraget sitt som avsluttet. På sykehjemmet på Nordfjordeid leter hun etter anledninger til å vitne om Jesus.Deltakere er Ingjerd Våge Engesæth, Eivind Tveter, Agathe Solsvik, Sofie Braut og Tore Hjalmar Sævik Hosted on Acast.

Ny episode av Snakk med Silje: Ingrid Olina Hovland – den unge KrFU-lederen som tør å utfordre likestillingspolitikken, abortdebatten og ruspolitikken Hva skjer når en ung, kristen kvinne i politikken stiller spørsmål ved dagens likestillingspolitikk? Når hun mener at familiene selv bør få bestemme foreldrepermisjonen, at staten ikke skal detaljstyre alt, og at vi må ta biologien på alvor i stedet for å jage 50/50-tall på papiret? I denne episoden snakker jeg med Ingrid Olina Hovland, leder i KrFU, som raskt har blitt et kjent navn etter debatter på TV2, Politisk kvarter og Debatten. Hun er bare 20 år, men har allerede kjent på mediestormen på kroppen – spesielt etter å ha delt ærlige, personlige refleksjoner rundt abort. Vi går dypt inn i flere av de mest betente temaene i norsk samfunnsdebatt: Likestilling og familiepolitikk: Er dagens regler for foreldrepermisjon og kvotering egentlig til gavn for kvinner – eller går de på bekostning av både mødre som ønsker å være lenger hjemme og familiens frihet? Ingrid argumenterer for mer tillit til familiene og mindre statlig overstyring. Synkende fødselstall: Hvorfor venter vi så lenge med å få barn? Hvordan kan vi legge bedre til rette for at unge skal kunne stifte familie tidligere, uten at det skal gå på bekostning av utdanning og karriere? Abort: Vi snakker åpent og respektfullt om personlige holdninger, sorg etter abort, adopsjon som alternativ og hvorfor det er viktig å kunne snakke om de negative sidene ved abort uten å skamme noen. Ruspolitikk: Her er vi uenige – Ingrid forsvarer en streng forbudslinje for å beskytte de sårbare og bekjempe organisert kriminalitet, mens jeg utfordrer med tanker om avkriminalisering og tryggere bruk. Innvandring, verdier og antisemittisme: Vi snakker om behovet for tydelige krav til verdier (ytringsfrihet og religionsfrihet), hvor mye av hatkriminaliteten mot jøder som kommer fra muslimske miljøer, og hvorfor vi må kunne snakke ærlig om dette uten å bli polarisert. Kjønn og identitet: Pubertetsblokkere, rosa kompetanse i skolen og hvorfor evidensbasert politikk må veie tyngre enn ideologi når det gjelder barn og unge. Samtalen er ærlig, nyansert og til tider uenig – akkurat slik jeg liker det. Ingrid er reflektert, modig og tør å stå i stormen for det hun mener. Vi berører også hvordan mediene og sosiale medier kan forvrenge budskap, og hvor viktig det er å tåle meningsmangfold uten å kreve at folk skal trekke seg. Dette er en episode for deg som er lei av forenklede fronter i debatten og som vil høre en ung stemme fra KrF-siden tenke høyt om familie, frihet, verdier og fremtiden til det norske samfunnet. Hvis du bryr deg om likestilling som faktisk gagner familier, om vi skal få flere barn i Norge, om abort som et vanskelig valg, rusproblematikk, eller om vi tør å snakke sant om antisemittisme og innvandring – da bør du ikke gå glipp av denne. Hør eller se episoden nå – og gjerne del den med noen du tror vil bli provosert, enig eller bare nysgjerrig. Det er nettopp slike samtaler podkasten min handler om: å utvide ytringsrommet og la folk få si hva de mener selv. Takk til Ingrid for å komme og for en skikkelig god samtale. Og takk til alle dere som støtter podkasten – det betyr alt! Kommer du på jubileumsfesten og live-podkasten den 11. april? Har du ikke kjøpt billett ennå? Gjør det nå – plassene fylles opp raskt!

Will Doctor the sharpest golf mind in the game gets you ready with all his picks for the DP World Tour Championship Will Doctor returns on Pregame's Golf Preview Podcast to cover the DP World Tour India Championship at Delhi Golf Club, a short, tight thinker's course demanding accuracy and elite Bermuda putting. Rory McIlroy headlines the field at +550 after his Ryder Cup appearance, while Tommy Fleetwood, Ben Griffin, Victor Hovland, and Brian Harman follow on the odds board. Doctor candidly admits his recent slump—down 6.7 units after a rough run of misses in Japan and Spain—but aims to bounce back in India. He reviews poor picks like Eric Cole at the Bay Current, Michael Kim's top-ten miss, and Hideki Matsuyama's near miss on the Japanese leaderboard. Despite Christian Bezuidenhout's top-ten and some solid form from Patrick Reed and young star Angel Ayora, Doctor's recent cards have fallen short. In Spain, Marco Penge won, and Doctor's outrights in the DP and Korn Ferry Tour events all missed, dropping another 11 units. Shifting focus, he outlines Delhi's setup—tight fairways, strategic play, and little need for drivers—and identifies players with precise ball-striking and solid putting as keys to victory. McIlroy's length gives him an edge even with fewer drivers, but Doctor is cautious given Rory's layoff. Fleetwood at +675 is his top choice among favorites due to accuracy, sixth in strokes gained approach, and proven Bermuda success at East Lake. Griffin, despite a stellar season and two wins, has too long a layoff to back pre-tournament. Hovland, nursing a neck injury, is another fade despite elite approach stats, as Doctor avoids risk. Harman fits perfectly with his precision and prior success on Bermuda layouts but is also a pass due to recent inactivity. Doctor's first “pick to place” is Denmark's Jeff Winther top 20 at +260 for his accuracy and positive recent putting form, including a top-10 in India last year. His second placement pick is India's Anirban Lahiri top 10 at +260, praising Lahiri's form from LIV events and strong national open history despite criticizing LIV's limited fields. For outrights, Doctor backs Fleetwood to win at +675, Ayora at 30-1 after consecutive top-tens and improving putting, and Joel Girrbach at 120-1 as a sleeper with renewed iron play and putting confidence after a solo third in Madrid. He offers a football promo—code DRINK20 for $20 off an all-access package—before revealing his sleeper, Jeong Weon Ko top 10 at 12-1, citing his success in India and strong ball-striking. His best bet is Ayora top 10 at +225 on MGM, expecting the Spanish prodigy to contend again. Doctor concludes optimistic about finding form in Delhi, emphasizing control off the tee, confident approach play, and putting consistency on Bermuda as the key to cashing in.

With Andy on the road, Brendan! kicks off this episode with a solo segment focusing on Jon Rahm and his Ryder Cup future. Brendan unpacks the ongoing legal battle between Rahm (and Tyrrell Hatton) and the DP World Tour regarding fines for playing unsanctioned (LIV) events. Rahm has repeatedly stated that he will not be paying these fines and has appealed the DP World Tour's ruling to the point of arbitration. Due to this appeal process, Rahm and Hatton have been able to play in DP World Tour events despite the outstanding fines and were allowed to play for Team Europe at the 2025 Ryder Cup. With the arbitration ruling looming, Brendan looks at whether Rahm's Ryder Cup status and DPWT status is really in jeopardy, and what it would mean for him (and Team Europe) moving forward. Brendan is then joined by Kevin Van Valkenburg for the rest of this Wednesday episode. KVV offers his take on the Rahm discourse and the news that Rahm will not tee it up until LIV's 2026 season kicks off in February. From there, the two run through the Schedule for the Week. Many stars are in India for the DP World Indian Championship in Delhi. Rory, Tommy, Hovland, "Benny Booms," and Brian Harman are among the notables competing at this fall series event. Viktor is back in action after his neck injury at Bethpage and was finally available to speak on the events leading to his Sunday "in the envelope." Elsewhere in golf, the LPGA's Asia swing rolls on with another limited-field event without Nelly Korda, the Champs Tour playoffs kick off in the DMV, and Q-School is ongoing. In news, Cadillac is rumored to be back in the fold for the PGA Tour's return to Doral this year. Brendan and KVV take this as a chance to reminisce about past tournament sponsors they wish would return. Lastly, KVV debuts his new mailbag segment with a few preview questions before expanding on more submissions in an upcoming website column.

Will Doctor gets you ready for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black this week. Will covers every golfer in the field for the Americans and Europeans. Will dives deep into who and what he thinks is the best strategy for your betting approach. Will Doctor (0:15 - 0:28) opened the show welcoming listeners with energy and promising sharp Ryder Cup insights. Will Doctor (0:33 - 55:37) recapped the fiery ceremonies, noting Luke Donald's criticism of U.S. systems, Keegan Bradley's Farmingdale roots, and Kathy Hochul's repeated boos. He framed the 45th Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black as electric and immediately criticized the U.S. for starting with alternate shot, pointing out Europe's 51–37 advantage in that format since 2002 and calling the decision “an act of insanity.” He explained the point structure—28 total, Europe needs 14 to retain, U.S. 14.5 to win back—and emphasized Europe's chemistry, with 11 of 12 returning from 2023, compared to a U.S. side rusty after limited recent play. He highlighted the strength of the American roster with Scheffler, Henley, Schauffele, and Thomas but reminded listeners that past U.S. teams with world number ones still lost. Missing veterans like Spieth and Koepka left the squad without seasoned leaders. On Bethpage, he called it a “1936 masterpiece” demanding precision, but said rain-softened conditions and trimmed rough may neutralize its difficulty. On players, Scheffler was praised as “the best long iron player in the game,” likely paired with Henley. J.J. Spaun was credited for elite irons and big-moment poise. Schauffele's experience (14-8-0) was countered by wild driving, while Henley's consistency made him invaluable despite lacking distance. Harris English's poor irons raised doubts, while DeChambeau was seen as a potential difference-maker if paired with a “marksman” like Spaun or Griffin rather than Thomas, whose ball striking woes made him “statistically the worst player on this American team.” Morikawa's poor prep suggested limited use, while rookies Griffin and Cameron Young were urged as sparks, with Young called the “hometown kid” who should be unleashed early. Cantlay's 15-6-1 team record earned a call to play every session, and Burns's putting strength positioned him as a best-ball asset. On Europe, McIlroy was expected to thrive on softened fairways and pair again with Fleetwood, whose form and partnership history made him a projected star. McIntyre was labeled a weak link due to shaky ball striking, while Rose was respected for veteran leadership but doubted for heavy use. Rasmus Højgaard was called a “sneaky weapon” in four-ball, Hatton reliable in foursomes with Rahm but risky in singles, and Lowry and Straka limited by putting and approach struggles. In contrast, Åberg and Hovland were described as statistical machines, with Hovland “a major problem” for the U.S. Fitzpatrick, historically poor at Ryder Cups, was forecasted to break through thanks to sharp recent form. Rahm's 6-3-3 Ryder Cup record and clutch history, including a win over Tiger in 2018, reinforced his role as Europe's closer. Will ended without picking an outright winner, instead backing Scheffler as top U.S. scorer (+275) and Europe in foursomes (+135), citing their 7-1 domination in 2023. He concluded that softened Bethpage conditions tilt slightly toward Europe but overall make the 2025 Ryder Cup too close to call Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Welcome back to The Golfing Mind. I'm your host, and with me today are Bobby Ross and Mike Kershaw. As we approach the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, we've got a lot to unpack: captains, strategies, pairings, and – of course – our prediction. On the U.S. side, Keegan Bradley leads the charge. He's confirmed he will not serve as a playing captain, choosing instead to concentrate fully on leadership. He's also close to solidifying his pairings, signalling that much of his game plan is already mapped out. Europe, meanwhile, is captained again by Luke Donald, returning for back‐to‐back Ryder Cups after the 2023 win. His team is almost identical to the one in Rome, with only one change: Rasmus Højgaard replacing his twin Nicolai. Donald's picks are designed for cohesion and experience, with several pairings we expect to stay together through critical sessions. As for pairings, Europe looks likely to lean on combinations like Rahm-Hatton, McIlroy-Fleetwood, Åberg-Hovland, and Lowry-Straka in the foursomes and fourballs. Golfmagic The U.S. pairing sheet is more uncertain, but expect strong-performing veterans to be matched with rising stars – perhaps Thomas with Morikawa, or Scheffler with Burns. So, what will the final score be? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Omega European Masters -Discussing top 9 on odds board -1 matchup -2 t10's -2 outrights (16/1 & 18/1) -Sleeper, Best Bet The Golf Preview Podcast on Pregame's Network (0:12 – 0:29) set the stage for this week's deep dive into PGA Tour and DP World Tour betting picks. Host Will Doctor brought sharp insights, beginning with the headline story of Tommy Fleetwood's first PGA Tour win at Eastlake, a monumental 2025 moment for golf betting fans. From Memphis to the BMW, Fleetwood's heartbreaks turned into motivation, showing resilience and class (0:39 – 9:23). Doctor highlighted upcoming DP World Tour action, including the Omega European Masters at Crans-sur-Sierre, where Matt Wallace defends in the Swiss Alps. With Matthew Fitzpatrick at 9-1, Alex Noren at 14-1, and Aaron Rai at 16-1, the field is stacked. He also previewed the Irish Open, the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, and the high-stakes Korn Ferry Tour Finals with thirty PGA Tour cards on the line, key storylines shaping fall golf betting. Alex Noren (9:23 – 9:49) celebrated his first victory in seven years, returning from injury with elite iron play and renewed confidence. Will Doctor noted profitable tickets cashed on Fitzpatrick and Smylie, while Rasmus Højgaard locked in his Ryder Cup spot despite missed chances (9:49 – 11:04). Fleetwood's breakthrough was the season's most-watched non-major, with over 4.4 million viewers, a massive data point for PGA Tour betting relevance. Fleetwood's own reflection (11:05 – 11:30) captured the moment: one win as the foundation for many. Yet betting cards saw setbacks with Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland, and Ludvig Åberg falling short (11:31 – 39:00). Only Sam Burns delivered, finishing top ten and strengthening his Ryder Cup candidacy. Doctor analyzed Ryder Cup projections, calling for Scheffler, Schauffele, Henley, English, DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Cameron Young, Ben Griffin, and Sam Burns to form Team USA, while Cantlay's runner-up finish secured his place. Team Europe, led by Luke Donald, is anchored by Rory McIlroy, Fleetwood, Rose, Hatton, and Højgaard, with Lowry, Straka, Åberg, Hovland, Fitzpatrick, and Rahm likely filling out the roster. The Omega European Masters odds board was then dissected in detail. Fitzpatrick's strong form made him one to watch but not a pre-tournament bet at 9-1. Noren at 14-1 presented elite value, while Aaron Rai's struggles with the putter kept him off Doctor's card. The spotlight shifted to the Højgaard twins, with Nicolai at 16-1 and Rasmus at 18-1, both primed to contend at altitude. Marco Penge's explosive driving but inconsistent putting made him a risky choice. Wyndham Clark at 25-1 drew intrigue, though erratic driving raised concerns. In betting matchups, Oliver Lindell over Yuki Ichikawa emerged as a sharp play. Doctor's official card closed with Noren to top ten at +125, Rasmus Højgaard to top ten at +187, Nicolai Højgaard outright at 16-1, Rasmus outright at 18-1, Sami Välimäki as a sleeper to top ten at +350, and Nicolai Højgaard to top ten as the best bet at +162. These Omega European Masters picks provide actionable golf betting insights backed by recent form, strokes gained data, and Ryder Cup momentum. The Golf Preview Podcast (ending timestamp) delivered a comprehensive breakdown of PGA Tour betting, DP World Tour odds, Ryder Cup team construction, and European Masters predictions. For golf fans and bettors alike, the combination of statistical insight, player performance analysis, and betting recommendations made this preview essential. Pregame's coverage positioned the Omega European Masters as a premier betting opportunity in late summer golf, where smart wagering strategies could turn form analysis into profitable outcomes.

Will Doctor, the sharpest golf handicapper in the game, is back with a loaded episode breaking down everything from Ryder Cup scenarios to this week's Tour Championship and British Masters betting boards. Doc starts by recapping the BMW Championship and Danish Golf Championship before diving into the Tour Championship at East Lake, analyzing the top four names on the odds board. From there, he gives out two picks to place, one outright winner, and one outright winner without Scottie Scheffler, his sleeper of the week. The East Lake preview wraps up with two DFS lineups, a scoring prediction, and Doc's best bet. Stick around until the end as Doc takes you across the pond for the BetFred British Masters, giving out an outright, a matchup, a Top 10, and his best bet of the week. The 2025 Tour Championship at East Lake marks the season finale with a fresh twist: no more staggered scoring. All thirty players begin at even par, turning this into a true head-to-head battle for a $40 million purse and the FedEx Cup trophy. Scottie Scheffler arrives as the clear favorite after winning the BMW for his fifth victory of the year. His numbers are staggering: thirteen straight top-8 finishes, five wins, two majors, and a putter that has finally come alive under Phil Kenyon. At +180 odds he's expected to dominate, and he could become the first back-to-back FedEx Cup champion. Challengers include Rory McIlroy, a three-time winner here, though his driving has been erratic. Viktor Hovland, champion in 2023, has regained form with strong approach play and improved putting. If the forecasted rain softens the greens, he could thrive. Rising star Ludvig Åberg looks primed for a breakthrough after stringing together flawless all-around stats, and Sam Burns carries momentum from a top finish at the BMW while fighting for a Ryder Cup spot. Ryder Cup implications loom large. Europe's lineup is mostly settled, with McIlroy, Hovland, Rose, Hatton, Fleetwood, Lowry, Straka, and Åberg locked in. Rasmus Højgaard's recent run secures his place, while Matthew Fitzpatrick looks safe despite a poor Cup record. For Team USA, the top six are set, but captain Keegan Bradley must decide among Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Bradley himself, Brian Harman, Griffin, and McNeely. East Lake is the final audition, with Burns and Cameron Young also capable of forcing their way in. Scheffler is the man to beat, but East Lake has a history of drama — Rory's comeback in 2022, Hovland's weather-delayed win in 2023, Tiger's unforgettable 2018 victory. This week feels just as loaded. Expect Scheffler to contend for another trophy, but the bigger story may be which players punch their Ryder Cup tickets and who is left behind when the teams head to Bethpage.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the BMW Championship and best outright ticket for the Danish Golf Championship -Reviewing Memphis featuring sound from Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Scottie Scheffler -Rickie Fowler sig. event points situation, hearing from Fowler on performance in Memphis -Ryder Cup scenarios featuring sound of Cantlay discussing Ryder Cup hopes and Keegan's dilemma -Discussing top 7 on odds board at Caves -1 matchup, 1 t10 -1 BMW outright (40/1) -Sleeper, 2 FRL, 2 lineups, scoring -Best Bet -Danish Golf Championship outright (35/1) Will Doctor opens with energy, introducing the BMW Championship at Caves Valley as week two of the FedExCup Playoffs and recapping a dramatic Memphis finish where Justin Rose, at 175–1 odds, claimed his 12th PGA Tour title by birdieing four of his last five holes to beat J.J. Spaun. Rose described his win as stoic, marked by determination and calmness, admitting that focus on execution muted his joy in the moment. Tommy Fleetwood, seeking his first PGA Tour win, led after 54 holes but faltered, finishing second; he emphasized gratitude for fan support and the importance of learning from close calls. Scottie Scheffler briefly shared the final-round lead but lost nearly 1.5 strokes putting on Sunday, missing the playoff by one. Key FedExCup changes saw Kitayama, Cauley, Fowler, Vegas, and Poston move into the top 50 while Potgieter, Spieth, Knapp, Clark, and Martin dropped out. Fowler, who finished T6, knew roughly a top 10 was needed and edged Chris Kirk by one shot to advance. Doctor defended Fowler against criticism over sponsor exemptions, blaming reduced field sizes for controversy, and highlighted that Memphis drew 3.6 million viewers, the best since 2018. Doctor's betting card suffered as Scheffler's Sunday putting cost multiple wagers. Brad Payne, caddying for Scheffler, noted good putts simply didn't fall, while Scheffler praised Spaun's grit. A win came via Jacob Bridgman over Potgieter, but Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, and Harris English underperformed. On the European Tour, a bet on Christopher Broberg failed as Grant Forrest prevailed. Ryder Cup standings for Team USA show locks in Scheffler, Spaun, Schauffele, Henley, DeChambeau, English, and Thomas, with Morikawa, Bradley, McNeely, and Novak on the bubble. Contenders like Young, Cantlay, and Goderup remain in play. Cantlay endorsed Bradley's inclusion if he were captain. Team Europe's locks include McIlroy, Rose, Fleetwood, McIntyre, Hatton, Straka, Lowry, Oberg, Hovland, and Fitzpatrick, with Højgaard and Wallace vulnerable; Jon Rahm will take a spot, and others could qualify with strong finishes. Caves Valley's redesign features rebuilt greens, narrowed fairways, and lengthened holes, now a par 70 over 7,600 yards. Doctor reviewed top contenders: Scheffler's form remains strong despite a caddie change, McIlroy's driving accuracy is a concern, Schauffele and Thomas struggle with consistency, Fleetwood and Oberg offer solid form but questionable value, and Cantlay's price is too short given recent results. This week's picks include Fowler over Lowry, Sam Burns for a top 10, Matthew Fitzpatrick outright at 40–1, and Denny McCarthy as sleeper top 10. First round leaders are Scheffler and Burns. The DraftKings lineup features Young, Burns, Fitzpatrick, Fowler, McCarthy, and Novak, with Scheffler as best bet for top American. Doctor also tips Sami Välimäki to win the Danish Golf Championship at 35–1, citing improved iron play and consistent driving and putting.

This is an episode full of Friday whimsy, covering the Chicago Cubs, Wyndham Clark's antics, Sheriff Scottie's department expanding, and more. Andy and Brendan run through an "apology" from Wyndham in the aftermath of destroying a locker at Oakmont and how he turned this moment into a plea for a spot on the Ryder Cup team. The two also discuss Scottie Scheffler's comments from Wednesday's press conference at the Travelers regarding what he considers a "fair test" on the PGA Tour. Speaking of the Travelers, Jordan Speith withdrew with a new injury and Adam Schefter took over Thursday's broadcast with some insane PGA-NFL comparisons. Leaderboard updates are provided for the Women's PGA Championship and Champs Tour at Firestone, where PJ's pick of Thomas Bjorn is fighting for dead last. To wrap up this episode, Brendan chats with Viktor Hovland about Brian Rolapp, Jay Monahan, Oakmont, and his favorite fruit.
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap day two of the 2025 U.S. Open, where a difficult Thursday at Oakmont gave way to an even tougher Friday. Sam Burns' 65 was the round of the day and sees him atop the leaderboard heading to the weekend, while Viktor Hovland lurks two shots behind in search of his first major. Smylie and Charlie discuss a testy range session for Scottie Scheffler, some shocking names that missed the cut, and how the Oakmont test will change on Saturday after receiving a ton of rain at the end of the day.

Will Doctor reviews all 95 players at Augusta en route to finalizing card for the 89th playing of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. -Reviewing 4 futures outright tickets -Reviewing 3 picks to win any major in 2025 -Going through all 95 players in the Masters Tournament -Adding 1 outright -1 t20, 1 t30 -2 bets "to make the cut" -1 bet "to miss the cut" -4 72-hole matchups -1 first round matchup -3 round 1 three ball matchups -1 t10 after R1 including an 8.2-unit loss at the Valero Texas Open and a failed 9-1 futures ticket on the Houston Cougars in NCAA basketball. He stresses the importance of reviewing picks, especially amid a losing streak, and outlines the four Masters futures he carries from December: Scottie Scheffler (7-1), Ludwig Aberg (14-1), Sung Jae Im (50-1), and Sepp Straka (100-1), with three additional tickets on Sahith Theegala, Tom Kim, and Davis Thompson to win any major. Scottie Scheffler, coming in as the favorite at +525, is praised for consistent elite performance, including no finishes worse than 25th in six events since returning from a hand injury, and podium finishes in his last four starts. His game, including a best putting performance of the season in Houston, is peaking. Rory McIlroy is faded despite strong wins at Pebble Beach and the Players; Will cites driving accuracy issues and suggests 10-1 would be a fairer line than 7.25-1. Jon Rahm, now on the LIV circuit, enters at 16-1 with recent top-10s but inconsistent putting and chipping. Morikawa is also passed over due to final-round collapses, though Will does back him to top 10 in Round 1. Other fades include Bryson DeChambeau (20-1), Justin Thomas (25-1), and Hideki Matsuyama (35-1), due to poor putting or chipping trends. Conversely, Will is bullish on Robert MacIntyre (60-1), who has recorded three straight top-11 finishes and two strong prior Augusta showings. He places both an outright bet and a matchup on him. Victor Hovland is another targeted play, specifically in a matchup over Cam Smith, following his Valspar win and a confident outlook on his improved short game. Shane Lowry, cited for consistency and solid Augusta history, is backed for a top 20, while Russell Henley earns a top-30 ticket thanks to elevated iron play. Several key quotes add depth. Scottie Scheffler credits Texas's varied conditions for developing his shot-making adaptability. Rory McIlroy reflects on family memories and the beauty of Augusta. Morikawa defends media avoidance, which Will critiques as symptomatic of poor mental preparation. Hovland speaks optimistically about short-game improvements with coach Grant Waite, prompting confidence from Will. Aberg's comments reveal awareness of recent struggles, but he remains committed to routine. Sepp Straka remains a strong value at 100-1 with excellent iron play and driving form. He's bet to beat Sam Burns in a first-round matchup, who is faded due to declining performance. Sung Jae Im's ticket has cratered in value, and Will expresses regret on that pick. Spieth is passed over at 40-1 due to erratic iron play, despite solid chipping and putting. Other noted fades include Tommy Fleetwood, Corey Connors, Cam Smith, Patrick Cantlay, Min Woo Lee, and Brooks Koepka, each due to specific statistical weaknesses in approach, short game, or driving. Later segments analyze lower-ranked players, including positive remarks about Phil Mickelson's resurgence and Charles Schwartzel's sharp form. Will picks Mickelson to make the cut, citing recent LIV success. Keegan Bradley and Akshay Bhatia are also featured in favorable matchups. Will wraps with lineup picks for Masters.com, choosing Scheffler, Patrick Reed, Shane Lowry, Davis Thompson, and Straka.

This recording was delayed until Monday morning because life is better with Andy by Brendan's side! Andy's in the dumps following the Illini's loss to Kentucky in the Round of 32, but his spirits were lifted by Tiger Woods hard-launching his relationship with Vanessa Trump on Sunday night. Brendan and Andy unpack all aspects of Tiger's post, from the bizarre caption to the posed photos prominently featuring the Sun Day Red logo. After a quick spin through Vanessa Trump's Wikipedia page, the two move on to the golf, where a "lost" Viktor Hovland ran down Justin Thomas to win the Valspar. Brendan is fired up about how great the PGA Tour's Florida Swing was and imagines Luke Donald is thrilled with back-to-back wins from European Ryder Cup stalwarts. Andy shares some appreciation for Viktor Hovland's openness with the media when discussing his struggles and compares how Hovland and JT played the final few holes down the stretch in different ways. It was a week of viral moments - Billy Boy showed off some ambidextrousness, making a birdie after hitting his approach left-handed, Adam Hadwin broke a sprinkler with a club slam, and Patton Kizzire perfected the "putter punt." Elsewhere in golf, Dick Mansell won on the DP World Tour, the Sunshine Tour is back in the Coetzee Zone, and Miguel Angel Jimenez secured his second Champions Tour win of the 2025 season in California. There's also plenty of chatter about the PGA Tour's DMCA habits, which are back and possibly better than ever! Things wrap up with some March Madness talk following Andy and PJ's trips to their respective regional sites to watch their teams lose in the second round.
Sepp Straka wins at Mr. Dye's Stadium Course in La Quinta with JT coming in second by two shots. We talk all things Amex, some notable WDs, the Genesis moving from Riv due to the LA fires, Tyrrell winning in Dubai, Hovland's quotes, and the DP World Tour's viral social video from earlier this week. Then, it's on to our Back Nine of the episode highlighted by TC's trip to Argentina (49:00), LIV's TV deal and new CEO, a new segment highlighting someone in golf that Not Enough People Talk About, TGL's week three and DJ closes our the Back Nine with an amazing Bob Uecker story (1:40:00). As a sign off - we have a midweek NLU Special Projects episode coming from KVV about tee times at Bethpage which he and DJ tease ahead of the episode's release which will hit your feeds on Wednesday morning.
