Podcast appearances and mentions of Jon Rahm

It was another win for Scottie Scheffler as he took the BMW Championship for his 5th win of the year and he keeps his incredible 3 year run on the PGA Tour going. Even though he didn't have his "A" game, Scheffler was able to chase down a shakey Robert MacIntyre early on Sunday and shut the door with a dramatic chip-in birdie on the 17th hole at Caves Valley on Sunday. We will talk about the ramifications of the BMW Championship on the Ryder Cup and Tour Championship this week at East Lake as well as other topics surrounding the PGA Tour. LIV Golf finished their regular season as Jon Rahm won the regular season title, without actually winning an event. We will discuss how it could possibly happen that Rahm wins, eventhough Joaquin Niemann won 5 events. The United States Amateur Championship headed west the last couple of weeks as the men played at the Olympic Club and the women at Bandon Dunes. We will discuss both, including an insane run by Jimmy Abdo, who is one of us from here in Minnesota. Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple, Spotify and YouTube for weekly golf content.

Ben and Brent kick off this week with their thoughts on the Blue Jays, who wrapped up their recent homestand with a 4-2 record. They dive into yesterday's loss that saw José Berríos not at his best and debate, if decisions are made simply on merit right now, if he's the odd man out of the rotation. The guys also touch on George Springer, who made his return known this weekend with a welcome-back two-run blast, along with Myles Straw and the role he has found on the squad. Following his start on Sunday, Ben and Brent wonder if Nathan Eovaldi may be one of the pitchers fans remember most from his generation. Later on, the boys dive into some golf stories from the weekend including Scottie Scheffler's domination and if he's approaching Tiger Woods' level, Ben Griffin's supposed creatine overdose, Jon Rahm's LIV title win, and Akshay Bhatia giving away a car he won.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

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.

Gholf: Die tweemalige major-kampioen, Jon Rahm van Spanje, sê meer moet gedoen word om ander geleenthede te vind vir spelers om wêreldranglys-punte te bekom. LIV Gholf het in Junie weereens aansoek gedoen vir wêreldranglyspunte nadat dit in Oktober 2023 afgekeur is - onder meer omdat daar nie afsnypunte in LIV-toernooie is nie en 'n beperkte aantal spelers kan deelneem. Die wêreldranglys is een van die hoofroetes vir spelers om vir majors te kwalifiseer. Rahm sê positiewe gesprekke vind wel plaas:

En el episodio de hoy repasamos lo que vivimos ayer en Portrush: la ronda espectacular y sin errores del Reverendo, el apoyo incondicional a Rory, que se mandó un rondón en su tierra, y el lujo que fue verlo de cerca.

Chris Gotterup staired down world number 2 Rory McIlroy on his way to the Scottish Open title at the Renaissance Club. The stunning win gets Gotterup into the Open Championship at Royal Portrush and into the Ryder Cup conversation for Bethpage Black.

With all due respect to the Dick's Open and the ISCO Championship, Andy's Event of the Week, this episode was recorded immediately following the Scottish Open due to Brendan's recurring air travel cancellations. Chris Gotterup outdueled Rory McIlroy, Wyndham Clark, and the clock at the Renaissance Club to capture the Scottish Open title, the biggest win of his career to date. Andy and Brendan discuss Gotterup's continued development as a player and his battle against the shot clock on Sunday before mentioning strong performances from Rory, Scottie Scheffler, and Marco Penge in Scotland. The two then touch on the Evian Championship which ended in a playoff win for Grace Kim after perhaps the greatest closing stretch to a major in history. Andy and Brendan analyze this win in the greater context of the women's game and also note that Lottie Woad has earned enough points for an LPGA Tour card following this event. Lastly, Talor Gooch won LIV Andalucía despite a late charge from Jon Rahm, who believes he's currently hitting the ball better than he has at any point in the last two years. Rahm's comments lead to a bit of an Open power rankings discussion before Brendan wraps with some news coming out of Stefan Schauffele's latest interview.

After a day on the ground at Oakmont, Andy and Brendan went live to share their thoughts from the first round of the 2025 U.S. Open. J.J. Spaun is in the lead at -4, so the two first debate who the "real" leader of the tournament is. Andy settles on a resurgent Brooks Koepka, sitting at -2, and is eyeing Jon Rahm at -1 a bit further down the board. Brendan shares some takeaways from following Spaun's second nine before transitioning to some course talk. The two discuss Thursday's pin placements, the setup "begging" for a fluke winner, and have some rough thoughts percolating already. Scottie, Rory, and Bryson are covered, with each finishing the first round over par. Games Within the Game are updated after some early commanding leads as well. Big Shot Bob MacIntyre had some critical quotes following his even-par round and Brendan loved what he was hearing. To close things out, the two look ahead to Friday and where the cutline might end up.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap day one of the 2025 U.S. Open, which tested the patience of the game's best while allowing ten rounds under par.

Smylie then runs through a list of pre-tournament favorites who struggled on Thursday - including Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, and Rory McIlroy - to predict whether or not they'll be around for the weekend.

Andy and Brendan are flying high after another strong major championship week of golf and daily podcasts. They get right to it with this recap marveling at Scottie Scheffler's weekend at Quail Hollow, from the all-time Saturday finish that went right into the ugly Sunday start to a win that provokes thoughts of a multi-major summer to come. What's left for him to solve and are there further questions that need answering? They get into the mental load he can put on his competitors, including Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau on the weekend. They discuss the joy of having Rahm back in the hunt and how it came undone on the back nine. They get into some amusing Bryson quotes about his equipment and needing to find a ball that flies straighter with over 190 mph speeds. Also, has his major play been more brilliant or sloppy lately? They grade out several more near the top of the non-Scottie leaderboard, including Joaquin Niemann's first ever top 10. Rory's week is given a review, from the scores to the media freeze out. Also graded is the CT Machine, the Quail Hollow major setup, and the PGA of America as a whole led by Don Rea. Then PJ jumps on late to debrief on a WILD Champions Tour scramble in the dark as well as a possible auction scandal at the PGA.

On Sunday, Scottie Scheffler won the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. Looking at the final scoreboard, his five-stroke victory seemed like total domination. But I was there on the ground, and what I saw wasn't domination. It was something far more valuable for you as a sales professional and has everything to do with success. What I witnessed was a master class in mental resilience. And in this Sales Gravy podcast and article, I'm going to break down exactly how Scheffler's approach to adversity can transform your sales results. The Brutal Grind Quail Hollow is beautiful, but make no mistake—this course has teeth. It chewed up and spit out many of the world's best golfers without an ounce of remorse. Just ask Bryson DeChambeau, who on Saturday watched his lead evaporate on the "Green Mile" – the brutal final three holes of the course. Or ask Jon Rahm, who briefly held the lead on Sunday before plummeting to eighth place after getting absolutely bitten by those same closing holes. If you just looked at Scheffler's final score, you'd think he cruised through effortlessly. But that's not even close to what happened. It was a grind—every single hole, every single shot. Scheffler came into Sunday with a five-stroke cushion, but by the front nine, he had completely lost that lead. Let that sink in for a second. The world's best golfer, playing his best golf all season, watched his commanding lead completely vanish. For most players, that would have been it. Game over. The spiral begins. The tournament slips away. But not for Scottie Scheffler. Bounce Back Percentage - The Key to Winning There's one statistic from the tournament that explains everything – and it's a metric that should become your new obsession as a sales professional. It's called the "bounce-back percentage." The bounce-back percentage measures how often a player makes a birdie or better immediately following a bogey or worse. In other words, how often do you recover from failure and immediately create success? For the entire field at Quail Hollow, the average bounce-back percentage was 17.4%. For Scottie Scheffler? An astonishing 62.5%. Think about what this means. When the average player faced adversity, they bounced back less than one time in five. But Scheffler? He transformed failure into immediate success more than three out of every five times. That is massive mental resilience. It's the difference between holding a trophy and watching someone else hold it. It's the difference between being number one in the world and being just another talented pro. And it's absolutely the difference between sales mediocrity and sales excellence. Bounce-Back Matters in Sales So why am I talking about golf statistics on a sales podcast? Because the bounce-back percentage is the perfect analogy for what makes or breaks a sales career. I've got news for you—bad stuff is going to happen in your sales career. You're going to fail, lose, and face adversity. That's not a possibility—it's a guarantee. You're going to have situations where everything seemed perfect, and then the deal falls apart. Sometimes it's your fault. Sometimes it's not. Maybe the champion of your deal suddenly gets fired or leaves the company. Maybe a competitor swoops in at the last minute with a ridiculous offer. Maybe your prospect ghosts you after six months of work. Each day you're going to run into situations when you're prospecting where someone slams the phone in your ear, and then you've got to immediately turn around and make the next call. There will be days where nothing goes right and everyone says no. Your ability to bounce back doesn't just influence your success – it defines who you are as a sales professional. It is the key to winning. Full stop. The Goldfish Paradigm  When I'm hiring salespeople, one of the things I'm measuring for is optimism. It's essentially Ted Lasso's goldfish paradigm—the ability to forget fast. On the show,

The Slate 5.19.25: "Jon Rahm Disappoints Jon Reed" by Fanrun Radio

After a roller coaster Championship Sunday at Quail Hollow, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme react to Scottie Scheffler hoisting the Wanamaker Trophy for his third career major win, which leaves him halfway to a career Grand Slam. Smylie and Charlie also discuss what could have been for Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, and look a month ahead to the U.S. Open at Oakmont.

Golf writers Ron Green Jr. and Michael Bamberger joined the program this morning to talk about the major story lines coming out of the 2025 PGA Championship. Both talked about what makes Scottie Scheffler so great and that it would not surprise Bamberger to see Scheffler pull off the career grand slam by year's end. Between the two they also talked about how nice it was to have Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau in contention to give some buzz to the leaderboard.

Chief of the Fair Police Scottie Scheffler has a three-shot lead heading into Sunday of the PGA Championship as Andy and Brendan return to break down the third round. There's plenty of Chief Scottie talk following his incredible back nine, including a new soundboard clip to replace last night's sirens. A lengthy Contender or Pretender? segment follows, with Andy and Brendan discussing Bryson DeChambeau (and his post-round quotes) and a seemingly resurgent Jon Rahm. PJ wraps things up with a quick Regions Tradition update ahead of TWO major championships being decided tomorrow evening.

Moments after watching Scottie Scheffler make birdie at the 18th to stretch his lead to three strokes, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down all the Saturday PGA Championship action from Quail Hollow. Smylie and Charlie recap a thrilling five-under-in-five-holes finish to catapult Scottie to the top of the leaderboard, Bryson's disastrous trip through the Green Mile, and Jon Rahm's “hunger” to win within striking distance at a major for the first time in a while.

-Discussing top 7 on odds board at Quail Hollow -1 matchup -2 picks to place -2 outrights added to 2 futures on card -Sleeper, 2 lineups, scoring, best bet Will Doctor, host of the Golf Preview Podcast, provided a comprehensive breakdown of the 107th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, North Carolina. The event features 156 players, and the course—known for hosting the Wells Fargo Championship—is now set for its second PGA Championship. Rory McIlroy, with four wins at Quail Hollow and four victories in his last ten starts, is co-favorite at +550 alongside world number one Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy, though powerful off the tee averaging 324 yards at Philly Cricket, only hit 40% of fairways, presenting accuracy concerns. Scheffler, coming off an eight-shot victory at the Nelson, has shown flawless iron play and putting, despite never playing Quail Hollow professionally. Will Doctor endorsed Scheffler as his primary pick at +550. Justin Thomas, fourth favorite at 22-1, has been exceptional lately with two runner-ups and a win in his last four starts. His strong course history at Quail Hollow, including a 2017 PGA win, positions him as a top contender. Bryson DeChambeau, at +950, recently won at Live Korea, praised for his elite driving and improving short game, though his iron play remains a question. Doctor recommends DeChambeau for a Top 10 finish at +110 but avoids an outright pick. Sepp Straka's victory at Philly Cricket was highlighted by his 60% fairway rate, over 3.5 strokes gained on approach, and best-in-field putting performance. Shane Lowry led the field in approach but faltered with the putter, notably a costly three-putt on the 72nd hole, continuing his winless streak since 2022. Will Doctor criticized his own picks from the previous event, noting none contended, with Spieth finishing T34, Stevens T23, and Dorby Olson T54. His picks to place last week salvaged some units, including Patrick Cantlay and Tommy Fleetwood, both closing with 65s, and Andrew Novak with a final round 64 for T17. Quail Hollow, expected to play at 7,600 yards, faces wet conditions from early-week rains, likely favoring bombers and elite chippers, though greens will remain firm due to sub-air systems. The betting focus includes Justin Thomas over Jon Rahm at +117, McIlroy to Top 5 at even money, and Bryson DeChambeau to Top 10 at +110. Futures on Tyrell Hatton and Sung Jae Im have lost value, with both needing career weeks to contend, particularly Im, whose iron play has struggled all year. The DraftKings lineup features DeChambeau, Thomas, Matsuyama, Novak, Mitchell, and Norgaard, while the PGA.com lineup includes Scheffler (captain), DeChambeau, Thomas, McIlroy, with Mitchell and Novak on the bench. Keith Mitchell, known for his fast starts but inability to maintain over four rounds, is backed to Top 20 at 3-1. Doctor expects the winning score at 14 under, higher than the 8 under posted by Thomas in 2017 due to softer conditions. His best bet is DeChambeau to Top 10 at +110. He criticized the Live schedule's poor major prep, arguing it hampers players like Rahm more than DeChambeau. Finally, he acknowledged the rain's impact would likely limit firmness to Saturday only, favoring players with distance, elite iron play, and strong short games.

The three then preview this week's LIV Korea event and discuss the current state of Jon Rahm, David Puig, and Richard Bland, among others. In news, departments within the PGA Tour are shifting a bit and tournament weeks are now "event weeks" for these local communities. Before Golf Advice, "The Boys" get Brendan's thoughts on the latest 100 men vs. one gorilla hypothetical and wonder which pro golfers would be the biggest assets in this kind of fight. Golf Advice has a Champs Tour legend involved and more hole-in-one discourse. To wrap things up, Brendan chats with Joel Beall about his new book, Playing Dirty, which you can buy here.

Andy Johnson is joined by "Designing Golf" host Garrett Morrison for a look at the current state of men's professional golf following Rory McIlroy's win at the Masters.

Andy and Garrett also share one course they're looking forward to seeing host a major tournament this year, prompting breakdowns of Cypress Point and Royal Portrush.
