This Friday episode brings a game of Quote Roulette and the conclusion of the first-ever "Draft Week" to start your weekend. Brendan is ready to skip forward to Sunday afternoon's big Jets-Browns tilt at MetLife Stadium with rumors swirling that he may meet up with PJ to watch the game in-person. Andy and Brendan run through the early leaderboards for the HSBC Abu Dhabi Championship and World Wide Technology Championship before diving into press conference clippings from around the world. Rory McIlroy wasn't impressed by LIV's move to 72 holes and doesn't think they'll be getting too many OWGR points as things currently stand. Lee Westwood took exception to these remarks by the Masters champion, saying that Rory may change his mind next week on whatever he said anyway. Westy believes that the LIV fans are the biggest winners of this "innovation" as they'll be seeing an extra day of golf! Paul McGinley spoke to Bunkered about the impending DP World Tour fine decision on players like Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton. McGinley believes there are larger things at play for the future of the DP World Tour's existence and acknowledges that making Ryder Cup players be members is one of few cards the Euro circuit has left. Perhaps most importantly, there was some late-night beef between Joe Mayo and the Short Game Chef on Instagram on Wednesday night. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Mayo started a grease fire in the Chef's kitchen, airing out some past texts and conversations and calling out the Chef's teachings. Andy and Brendan are giddy about this long-winded IG caption and lose it when Joseph LaMagna joins in to share a comment about "extra Mayo." Lastly, the President of the PGA of America spoke to the 31,000 or 34,000 or 37,000 members this week and apologized for "harming the association" in past months. We play the audio of this apology and have added it to the soundboard. "Draft Week" wraps up with a double whammy and a new guest: Joseph joins Andy, Brendan, and PJ to draft 2026 Pro Golf Venues AND the best players in the world age 28-and-younger.

LIV Golf's shocking switch to a 72-hole format has everyone talking—but is it a bold power move or a desperate bid for legitimacy? In this episode of The Golf Podcast, we break down LIV Golf's shocking decision to switch from 54-hole to 72-hole tournaments starting in the 2026 season—a move that's sending shockwaves through the golf world. We discuss whether this pivot is a strategic play to secure Official World Golf Ranking points or a sign that the league is beginning to mirror the PGA Tour it once sought to disrupt. We'll also explore what this change means for players, fans, and the business side of LIV, including the potential for more sponsorships, ticket sales, and broadcast revenue. You'll hear our take on player reactions from Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, plus how new CEO Scott O'Neil's leadership style could reshape the league's future. Is this a sign of strength and adaptability—or a step away from what made LIV unique in the first place? We unpack all sides of the debate and discuss what this move could mean for the broader landscape of professional golf. Tune in for a deep dive into the evolving rivalry between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour, and why both leagues may be on a collision course toward convergence.   Listen to This Week's Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week's Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

The man who once denied LIV Golf world ranking points is speaking out again… and it might change everything. In this episode of The Golf Podcast, we dive into the latest controversy surrounding LIV Golf after former OWGR chairman Peter Dawson delivered some blunt criticism of the league's success and fan engagement. We break down Dawson's comments, question whether bias may have influenced LIV's ranking rejection, and discuss what Trevor Immelman's new leadership at the OWGR could mean for LIV's future. We also explore how recent leadership shakeups at both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf might finally clear a path toward official world ranking points—and what that would mean for players like Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Joaquin Niemann. Along the way, we share predictions for when LIV could earn OWGR recognition, debate how many points LIV winners should get compared to PGA Tour and DP World Tour events, and talk about why 54-hole and no-cut formats shouldn't disqualify LIV under current OWGR standards. Whether you're team LIV, team PGA TOUR, or just a golf fan who wants to see fair rankings, this episode takes an honest look at where the professional game goes next.   Listen to This Week's Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week's Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

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.

Andy and Brendan return with plenty to discuss as the golf world finally moves out of the Ryder Cup's blast radius. Naturally, this episode kicks off with a Baseball Minute due to a disappointing start to the NLDS for Andy's beloved Cubs and Pete Crow-Armstrong. Things quickly transition to "Don Watch" as Brendan is hearing rumblings that the "Lose Yourself" karaoke video may surface in the coming days. The PGA Tour moves from Jackson, Mississippi to Tokyo, Japan this week for the Baycurrent Classic. This event and its various changes in the last five years leads to a wider discussion about the PGA Tour schedule and the ultimate question of "how many tournaments is too many?" Elsewhere on the schedule this week, the Korn Ferry Tour finals are set to go off in French Lick even though most of next year's Tour cards are locked up. On the DP World Tour, many LIV stars are at the Spanish Open contending for a 2026 Masters invite. Jon Rahm is playing his home event and spoke to the media to somewhat re-ignite the Ryder Cup crowd discourse a bit, as one does. After running through the rest of the Schedule for the Week, Andy and Brendan parse through a bunch of golf news including the return of the Skins Game and the 2026 TGL schedule release (with accompanying content!).

What a weekend! None of us have gotten as much sleep as we'd like with the Tour Championship on, but Tommy Fleetwood....what a star, and the entire golf world was celebrating his first win. Wonderful. Mark describes the final couple of holes as Tommy playing for his life, as he's not sure how another capitulation would have impacted him. As impressive as the win was, and as consistent as Tommy has been, Mark makes the point that - as with Jon Rahm and LIV last week, he doesn't believe that Tommy should be the Tour Champion, as Scheffler as 'without any shadow of a doubt' been the best player this year. Mark says both LIV and the PGA have this wrong. Nick and Mark discuss options to make it fairer.The new boss of the PGA has been talking about his plans, and one word in his comments has jumped out to Mark, he explains why and we discuss.The Ryder Cup selections will be this week for the US and Keegan Bradley has a big decision to make. Nick and Mark both have a view on what he should do, and explain why.This weekend Mark is playing Royal Melbourne, and he's hoping he is welcomed given his recent comments about the preparedness of the course for the Australian Open, however he is cheering for it to look incredible come December.Our new segment for BMW is a Touch of Class, and this week Nick O'Hern inducts Tommy Fleetwood as our inductee, not for his play, but for his press conference afterwards. We listen to what he said. It was indeed a touch of class from Tommy.Mark has bought something on Temu. Apologies. We tried to stop him but he was determined to show off this $3.50 purchase.After the turn Nick lists the Top 5 'Chokers' in golf......or does he? Top 5 for Betr, and as much as we loved Tommy winning he was responsible for our Betr multi failing so we're a bit dark on him at the same time.Lots of feedback for Southern Golf Club. Feedback on Rahm's title, some good news for Mark re: Monty, a whack for Nick and Mark from Billy, and a whack for Dan from Johnno. Brutal.Hardly know where to start with the PING global results, there has been some massive results - Tommy the big one, but an 'oh so close' result for Minjee in Canada, and plenty of other results to run through.And for watchMynumbers Marks masterclass today, inspired by Patrick Cantlay, is on the importance of having your weight in the right spot.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.

Tommy Fleetwood has finally won a PGA Tour event. Naturally, this episode starts elsewhere, as Andy and Brendan immediately jump into some quotes from Robert Garrigus and James Hahn. As told to Adam Schupak, these men are very unhappy about the PGA Tour's continued shift toward Signature Events. Garrigus challenged Jordan Spieth to a match for his "five sponsor exemptions" into Signature Events next year and Hahn wants Brian Rolapp to get his phone number from Jay Monahan. This sets Andy off, wondering which players should feature in the "Mule Derby." Things eventually get back to the Super Bowl of Golf, won by Tommy Fleetwood after four rounds of preferred lies. Tommy held off "Playoff P," Keegan Bradley, Russell Henley, and a half-hearted charge from FedEx Cup fourth-place-finisher Scottie Scheffler on Sunday. PJ questions whether this Tour Championship should even count as Tommy's first win, but Fleetwood is now Mr. 1,001 regardless. Andy and Brendan discuss the week at East Lake and give Tommy his flowers for landing the plane on Sunday afternoon. With the U.S. Ryder Cup team set to be announced on Wednesday, it seems like Keegan Bradley will select himself, leaving one of Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, or Sam Burns at home. There's a lengthy discussion about what Keegan should do, but everyone agrees things are trending toward him being a playing captain. The European Ryder Cup team also got a boost on Sunday, with Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton teaming up to win the LIV Team Championship in a playoff. Elsewhere for Europe, Rasmus Hojgaard qualified on points, all but locking up their 12 players. Brendan is unsure of how Rasmus accumulated enough points to make the top six and questions whether all points lists should go away for the 2027 Ryder Cup. Stew Cink went back-to-back at the Ally Challenge, beating Ernie Els in a playoff in Michigan and Brooke Henderson won her national Open on the LPGA. Finally, President Trump declared that he's in favor of Keegan Bradley's playing captaincy and said he will be attending the Ryder Cup on Friday. Will he chop it up with Don Rea? That remains to be seen.

Andy and Brendan return to unpack Brian Rolapp's presser at East Lake ahead of the 2025 Tour Championship. Brendan is in especially high spirits following a strong start from Jacob Bridgeman who has found himself in contention to win the FedEx Cup after one round in Atlanta. The bulk of this episode is spent recapping Rolapp's press conference and discussing his first orders of business as CEO of the PGA Tour. It sounds like major changes are coming and Andy, Brendan, and PJ wonder where Rolapp and his newly formed committee will begin. Whether it's taking a piece of revenue from majors, various media rights deals, or shrinking the Tour even more, Rolapp seems eager to shake things up. The back half of this show previews the LIV Team Championship in Plymouth, Michigan. The event will be LIV's 50th tournament, leaving Andy and Brendan to wonder whether the league will make it to 100 events. Brendan runs through some all-time LIV stats, as this golf entity actually has accurate bookkeeping - a rarity these days! Jon Rahm has come down from Mt. Everest and made an interesting draft choice when choosing his first-round opponent, drawing comparisons to his beloved Arizona Diamondbacks. We will be back on Monday to break down golf's Super Bowl in full after a new FedEx Cup champion is crowned at East Lake on Sunday night.

Matt Cook and Buttsy dive into a lively discussion on Scottie Scheffler's recent BMW Championship win and his consistent performance, drawing comparisons to Tiger Woods' mental game. The episode also touches on the U.S. Amateur Championships and the ongoing debate between match play and stroke play formats. They explore the evolving landscape of golf equipment technology and make predictions for the FedEx Cup Tour Championship. The conversation shifts to LIV Golf drama, including Jon Rahm's controversy and Phil Mickelson speculations. Buttsy shares updates on his health kick and cooking content, while the duo acknowledges their sponsors and gives a nod to Brent Grant.

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.

At long last, Andy has returned from sea (and air!). He joins Brendan and is fired up off the jump, coming in hot to defend the city of Chicago after last week's "slander." Andy's back just in time for golf's Super Bowl - the Tour Championship at East Lake. Brendan shares some quotes from an Adam Schupak article about the event possibly heading out of Atlanta sometime soon, only to find that Tim Finchem might've promised the event would stay there "in perpetuity." The winner of this week's event, which is now being played without Starting Strokes, will win both the tournament and the FedEx Cup for the 2025 season, unlike Jon Rahm's LIV title that came with zero victories. Rahm compared his win-without-winning to climbing Mt. Everest, sending Brendan off the rails at the preposterousness of that comparison. After running through the Schedule for the Week, Andy and Brendan then get into the 2026 Schedule for the Year after the PGA Tour announced its dates for next season. Trump Doral will host a new Signature Event in May, making it nearly impossible for rookies and those without signature status to play between the Masters and the PGA Championship. In other news, Paul Azinger will receive the Payne Stewart Award this week and Andy has a few questions about how the committee chose him as the 2025 recipient. TGL has announced the start date for its second season, going head-to-head with an NFL Sunday in December. This leads into an NFL Minute to close out this episode - Andy loves what he's seeing from the Bears, Joe Flacco is starting for Brendan's Browns, and PJ is already apathetic about Justin Fields and the Jets.

With Andy lost in an airport (not at sea), Brendan! once again called upon PJ to step into the "big chair" to close out the second round of the 2025 FedEx Cup playoffs. After he was unable to make history as the defending FedEx Cup champ last week, Scottie Scheffler fought back with a vengeance at Caves Valley. Scottie chased down Big Shot Bob MacIntyre in the final pairing, putting an exclamation point on his latest win with a chip-in on the 17th hole. Brendan shares some insight from his weekend on the ground, covering pace-of-play and a proper showcase of the top 50 players on the PGA Tour. One of those 50, Ben Griffin, had a rocky start to his Sunday and shared post-round that it was due to an "overdose" on creatine, sending Brendan and PJ into a tizzy. Jon Rahm was not in Baltimore, but he was in Indianapolis for LIV's individual season finale. He took home overall champion honors after a Sunday 60, but lost the weekly event to Sebastian Muñoz in a playoff. Brendan and PJ discuss the absurdity of Rahm - who did not win all year - beating out Joaquin Niemann's five-win season for the 2025 LIV title. LIV relegation is also a hot topic as big names now have to play elsewhere next season. The "Lads Club" is in full effect for Ryder Cup Europe with both Harry Hall and Marco Penge having big weeks despite seemingly having no shot at the 12th spot on the European roster. On the American side, Keegan Bradley had a nice Sunday at Caves Valley, but questions remain whether he should pick himself to play at Bethpage following a t-4 from Sam Burns. PJ then celebrates a long-awaited Victory Monday after Dick Green wins the Champs Tour event in Calgary. Brendan wraps up a great week of golf at Olympic Club for the U.S. Am, and shares an unsubstantiated rumor about next year's PGA Tour schedule to end this episode.

Today's Sports Daily covers Michigan levied fines by the NCAA – but is it that big of deal?, Dillon Gabriel with a curious quote over the weekend, Scottie Scheffler continues to dominate, Jon Rahm on the LIV tour is still funny, & NFL Preseason Week 2 over/unders. Music written by Bill Conti & Allee Willis (Casablanca Records/Universal Music Group) 

We are reduced to only two members of the TCF team and - whoever they may be - are left to discuss all the usual goings on in this crazy game we call golf. Scottie Scheffler's won a tournament, which is nice, and we wonder which will earn him more money this season - the prize money or the bonuses? And why do you need both? A more pertinent debate comes with discussing who might fill the two realistic places available for Europe's Ryder Cup team. Is Harry Hall in the frame to become the first Cornishman to play in the match? Will Marco Penge's late run be enough or are DP World Tour events just too minor? Is the late Dame Thora Hird a decent outside bet?There is also plenty of chat about LIV Golf; Jon Rahm takes the season bonus despite not winning a tournament, while one of Europe's finest ever golfers is left to contemplate sailing off into the sunset.Visit: www.petermillar.co.ukHave a look at:www.ping.comInstagram:@chippingforecastEmail:tcf@thechippingforecast.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

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.

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.

Randy Watkins returns to the Crooked Letter pod to discuss The Open, where the weather will be wet, windy and coolish at Royal Portrush. Scottie Scheffler will be the betting favorite, but the Europeans, including Rory McIlroy, definitely will have a home-course advantage. The recent Major League Draft also will be discussed.  

Brendan! made it across the pond (without some luggage) and has taken in two days of practice rounds at Royal Portrush. He joins an injured Andy, who found out that Crocs aren't built for basketball the hard way on his Monday evening walk, to preview the 2025 Open Championship. The two run through all of the major storylines, such as Rory's homecoming to Northern Ireland, Scottie's media comments on "fairness" and Jon Rahm looking like he's back in form. They choose favorite and least favorite tee times, calling out which groups to wake up early for on Thursday and Friday if you're operating from the United States. Joseph LaMagna joins Brendan from the Portrush media center to discuss going viral on Northern Ireland TikTok, as well! Andy shares five under-the-radar storylines for this week, touching on a Holywood native playing at home after a top-five finish last week and the best player in the world without a major returning to major golf. To wrap things up, PJ submits 12 Games Within a Game for the year's final men's major before four Lock-Hammer-Fire picks are made.

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. The top players in the world all played well this week including Rory, Scottie Scheffler, Ludvig Aberg and Viktor Hovland in Scotland and Jon Rahm in Spain. Will we see an epic Open Champinship at Royal Portrush? Women's professional golf may have given us one of the wildest finishes in the history of golf at the Evian Masters this week.

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. Watch our Open Championship preview LIVE on YouTube at 4 pm ET on Tuesday for continued coverage!

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.

Andy and Brendan are bouncing after a full two days at Oakmont and ready to debrief in this burly episode previewing the 2025 U.S. Open. They begin with some initial thoughts on Pittsburgh and their first couple days at Oakmont. There's a wide ranging discussion on the golf course and some of the immediate impressions on just how difficult it will be, where it will pop the best, how to avoid disasters, and if it can get away with tricks just based on its reputation. They run through some of the favorites like Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Rory McIlroy, and Jon Rahm and some of the amusing, alarming, and affirming quotes and trends from top players. As is tradition, they run through their favorite tee times, and offer the “worst” tee time for the first two rounds. They empty out the notebook with other delights and scuttlebutt from the ground before bringing in The Boys to chat about their interview with Cam Young, a day caddying alongside Bryson, and a debate over some games within the game. There's also a big announcement about a new SGS endeavor coming next week with CBS Sports.

In this episode, Steve Bamford joins the show to provide an in-depth preview of the 2025 US Open at Oakmont, highlighting the excitement and unique characteristics of the course. The discussion covers player insights, focusing on top contenders like Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, and Jon Rahm, and their chances based on past performances and golf course fit. Andy emphasizes the challenging greens and thick rough as key factors, and provides betting tips, spotlighting value picks such as Sepp Straka and Harris English. Additionally, weather conditions and their potential impact on gameplay are discussed, leading to a detailed analysis of who might come out on top in this prestigious golf major. BECOME AN INSIDER TODAY: https://www.insidesportsnetwork.com/becomeaninsider Subscribe to the Newsletter: https://inside-sports-network.beehiiv.com/subscribe join Betsperts Golf, with code INSIDEGOLF for 25% off: https://betspertsgolf.com/

If you're interested in astrology, PGA cleanup, and the most comprehensive preview of the Senior PGA Championship, this is the episode for you! Still basking in the afterglow of Scottie's win at the PGA, Andy and Brendan are in high spirits for this Wednesday episode. They first debate what a fair over-under is for Scottie Scheffler's career major wins and emphasize how hard it is to sustain an elite level of play for ten years. The two then do some more PGA wrap up and briefly look ahead to Oakmont and Royal Portrush, where they expect Jon Rahm to be a contender. On the PGA Tour, Scottie will tee it up again in Dallas for the Charles Schwab Challenge. Joining him there are Corey Pavin, Olin Browne, and David Frost, leading Brendan to question whether these olds will be competitive at Colonial. After making some fire picks for the week, this episode turns into a full-on preview of the Senior PGA Championship at Congressional. Brendan and PJ go through the field and discuss notables, including Andy's favorite, Lee Westwood! There are odds out there for this event, so picks are made for this major championship as well. In news, Detroit's TGL team will begin play in 2027 and some history was made at the USGA Fourball.

Andy Johnson is joined by 2008 Masters champion and CBS lead analyst Trevor Immelman to recap Scottie Scheffler's win at the 2025 PGA Championship. The two discuss Scottie's closing stretch to the tournament, his putting improvement in 2025, and the historical context surrounding his third major victory. Andy and Trevor also talk about contenders Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, how Quail Hollow played as a major venue, and Rory McIlroy's disappointing week at a one of his favorite courses. They close the episode with a small preview of next month's U.S. Open at Oakmont.

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.

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.

-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.
