Every time a pro wins with a quirky move, it shows up on the lesson tee the next week.... the bowed wrist, the foot hop, the "swing that will revolutionize golf." We all love an outlier, and we all think we're one magic bullet away. In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down why copying those moves is the fastest way to wreck your golf swing, and what you should be stealing from tour players instead.The real answer is their mindset and how they practice: low ball counts, rehearsal swings, verifying every feel against Gears, TrackMan, or video instead of trusting feel alone, and practicing with a plan rather than reacting to the last shot you hit. We get into honest swing-change timelines (why a tour coach will tell a player it might take two years), the 1%-a-day math, the ladder to unconscious competence, why bad concepts are the easiest to ingrain and the hardest to undo, Tony Ruggerio's 3x5 note card system, and why filming your on-course swing — not your basement swing — is the only way to see what you're actually changing.Get good at the basics. That's where 95% of them live. Timestamps below.
The warning signs are piling up for LIV Golf—but is the league really finished, or is there still a path forward? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the latest trouble surrounding LIV Golf, including a new $1 million lawsuit alleging unpaid licensing and usage fees, Jon Rahm's noncommittal response when asked whether he expects to play for LIV in 2027, and the growing questions about the league's long-term future. With LIV returning after a nearly two-month hiatus, we discuss whether these developments could represent the final nail in the coffin—or whether the league can still secure the investment and sponsorship needed to survive. We also examine LIV Golf's lasting impact on professional golf, from larger PGA Tour purses and greater player influence to schedule changes, international expansion, and the continued debate over team golf. Then we play “Win or Lose” to determine how LIV's disruption has affected LIV players, PGA Tour stars, the PGA Tour itself, golf fans, major championships, and tournament sponsors. Plus, we revisit Bryson DeChambeau's controversial two-stroke penalty at The Open, his public response to the ruling, and whether the incident risks undoing the image transformation he has built through recent success and his popular YouTube channel. Was the penalty justified, did Bryson handle it poorly, and will LIV Golf still exist in 2027? We debate it all.

Raise your hand if you saw this one coming. LIV Golf has been downright invisible for more than a month. The last action featuring the upstart golf league took place on June 7 in Spain. The next LIV Golf event (perhaps) is expected to take place next Thursday, July 23 in the United Kingdom. August will feature three tournaments in New York, Indianapolis, and Michigan to end the 2026 season. In case you missed it, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) has already told the LIV Golf players that Daddy Big Bucks won't be around to lose another billion or more next year to support the league. There has been chatter during this one month LIV Golf lull that the Saudis might even pull the plug prior to next week's golf tournament in Staffordshire, England. Stay tuned! This week, the fourth major golf tournament of the year is being held at The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale (located 50 miles northwest of Liverpool, England). After two rounds, nine members of the LIV Golf contingent have made their presence known at The Open – loud and clear Leading the Open after two rounds was none other than LIV Golf's Lucas Herbert at eight under par. Who dat, you ask? The unassuming Herbert is an Australian golfer who participates as a member of the LIV Golf's popular “Ripper GC” team. Lucas Herbert is only 30 years old. He won a single PGA Tour event in October, 2021 in Bermuda against a less-than-stellar field. Herbert then moved over to LIV Golf in January, 2024 to team up with fellow Aussies Cam Smith, Marc Leishman, and Elvis (Smiley, that is). Herbert (whose caddie looks like a guitar player for ZZ Top) won the May, 2026 LIV Golf tournament in northern Virginia. His blazing 24-under par total produced a four-shot victory. Lucas Herbert tied the Open record on Friday with a second round 8-under par 62. He missed a three foot birdie putt on the 18th hole which would have given him a new record with a sizzling 61. He told the assembled press afterwards, “It's a pretty good problem to have – to be disappointed you shot a 62!” When the second round ended, Herbert took a one shot lead into the weekend over fellow LIV Golf star and team captain of the “Crushers” team, Bryson DeChambeau. Well, at least for a few minutes… Bryson DeChambeau rolled in a 16-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole on Friday to post a 7-under par total and take solo second place. He was expecting to be paired with LIV Golf's Lucas Herbert on Saturday as he walked off the 18th green following Round 2. Royal & Ancient tournament officials visited with Bryson DeChambeau as soon as he walked toward the clubhouse to sign his scorecard. They wanted to discuss a possible rules infraction which happened way back on Hole #5 of the second round Friday. Bryson DeChambeau bombed a long tee shot, but it was far off line to the right side of the fairway. His golf ball landed in a marshy area surrounded by knee-high fescue grass. As DeChambeau walked around and then behind the ball to line-up his second shot, he accidentally stepped onto some of the fescue behind the ball. The rules officials deemed the temporarily depressed grass to give the golfer an unfair advantage. DeChambeau gave a passionate explanation of his version of the story. He pleaded with the officials that the shot he played was not affected by the squished-down nearby grass. No matter. He was still assessed a two shot penalty to balloon his bogey 5 into a triple bogey 7 on Hole #5. Those extra two shots changed his second round total score from -7 to -5. It dropped DeChambeau from solo second place into a three way tie for fifth place. Afterwards, he said, “Obviously disappointed with the ruling. I don’t agree with it, but it is what it is. This fires me up. Onto the weekend. Let’s get it!” It wasn't the only time that DeChambeau was in the news this week at The Open Bryson DeChambeau is a former US Amateur champion and has won two US Opens. His unusual golfing style (extremely long drives, a set of irons which are all the same length, and a wonky upright putting stance) make him easy to notice on the golf course. His bright smile and affable personality have added to his popularity – especially with younger golf fans. One former golfer who isn't enthralled with DeChambeau's golf style is former champion Nick Faldo. Earlier in the week, Faldo took to the microphone to say that Bryson DeChambeau had little or no chance of winning the Claret Jug trophy which goes to the winner. The six-time major champion commented, “I’d say it to his face. DeChambeau has zero clue of strategy.” He added, “He (DeChambeau) said last year, ‘I’m going to go out and attack the links.’ Well, I’ve never attacked the links. You thread it…feed it down the fairway.” To his credit, Bryson DeChambeau didn’t directly respond to Nick Faldo’s barbed remarks. LIV Golf’s “Hot Temper Twins” haven’t disappointed, either What’s the first thing you think of when I say, “Terrell Hatton?” Some might say, “Who?” Golf fans like me think of “Hot Head Hatton.” The club-flinging, four-letter-word-hurling Hatton found himself at -3 heading into Saturday’s third round. The LIV Golf competitor was paired with Scottie Scheffler (-4) and Bryson DeChambeau during the first two rounds at this year’s Open. The cameras found Hatton on the verge of club-chunking a few different times during Thursday’s opening round. Then there’s LIV Golf’s $300 million bonus man, Jon Rahm. Like Hatton, the intense Spaniard has a long history of temper eruptions on the golf course. Friday’s second round featured Jon Rahm (-4 for the tournament) flinging an iron which bounced off the tee box on the par-3 15th hole. Rules officials handed Rahm an official warning afterwards. The four major golf championships are (yeah, right) cracking down on bad behavior on the course. Rules officials now have the option of issuing a warning, a two shot penalty, or, if warranted, a disqualification. With Rahm being a two-time major golf champion, he was fortunate not to be assessed a two-shot penalty after Friday’s latest temper outburst. A LIV golfer may not hoist the Claret Jug on Sunday, but they’ve stolen the show The other five LIV Golf players who made the cut at The Open were Thomas Detry, Josele Ballester, Victor Perez, Peter Uihlein, and Laurie Canter. You can say a lot about LIV Golf, but several of the nine players who made the cut at this year’s Open Championship have definitely spiced-up this week’s competition. A perilous financial future lies ahead for LIV Golf at the end of August (assuming they are still in business at that point). The economics of the league are not sustainable. Saudi’s fat wallet (now more than $5 billion lighter) will be unavailable soon after enduring four years of massive losses. Defections by Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed this season have also hurt LIV Golf. Don’t forget that Bryson DeChambeau’s contract expires at the end of 2026. All signs point to a rough landing ahead for LIV Golf. Let’s enjoy their contingent of talented and spicy golfers this weekend at The Open – while we still have time.

Charlie Hulme and Smylie Kaufman break down a wild Friday at The Open Championship, headlined by Bryson DeChambeau's two-shot penalty for improving his lie in the fescue on the par-4 5th. Smylie was on-site chasing the story in real time — he walks through racing out to the hole, tracking down the actual divot, and simulating Bryson's swing to assess whether the penalty was warranted. The ruling drops Bryson to T5 at 5 under, three back of the lead heading into the weekend.Plus: two Royal Birkdale course records as Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns both card 62s, the tied-lowest round in major championship history; a bigger-picture debate on whether rules enforcement is consistent across the PGA Tour, USGA, and R&A (with the Wyndham Clark, Joaquin Niemann, Jon Rahm, and Sam Burns/Oakmont cases all on the table); real questions about whether Bryson tees it up Saturday; a driver-strategy breakdown comparing Tommy Fleetwood and Jon Rahm's approaches on the 10th hole; and score predictions for the cut line and the weekend leader.Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and follow us on socials @thesmylieshow!Chapters1:25 Bryson DeChambeau's penalty controversy breaks2:18 Smylie's on-the-ground chase to the 5th hole5:22 Breaking down Bryson's backswing and the fescue lie8:43 Bryson's agent statement and the intent question10:03 Big picture: is rules enforcement consistent across tours?13:37 Would Bryson withdraw from The Open?17:00 Debate: is the two-shot penalty too harsh?22:46 Friday's other big stories: course records & leaderboard23:55 Driver strategy: Tommy Fleetwood vs. Jon Rahm on 1028:45 Cut line prediction, Ryan Gerard shoutout & weekend outlook#brysondechambeau #theopen #smylieshow #golf

Ep. 267: Harvard Golf and playing at Whisper Rock alongside Jon Rahm, Wyndham Clark, and Max Homa shaped Josh Isner's understanding of what winning really requires — and it shows in how he leads one of the most competitive companies in America. Axon is the $45 billion public safety company behind body cameras and life-saving technology protecting law enforcement and first responders across the country. In this episode, you will learn: Why the best mentors are never assigned — and how Luke Larson, a Marine Corps officer just one year ahead of Josh at Axon, chose to invest in him and deliver the one line that transformed his leadership: "It's not what you say — it's what they hear." How the advice, "It's not what you say; it's what they hear," reshaped the way he communicates, coaches, and leads. How playing alongside the world's top golfers at Whisper Rock revealed the mindset shift that separates good from great — and how Josh applied it to his leadership.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are back from a very #America250 Fourth of July weekend to break down a wild finish at the John Deere Classic, as Chris Gotterup's Sunday 62 was good enough to earn a THIRD win on the PGA TOUR this season. They dig into Gotterup's remarkable year (four wins in the last 365 days, matched only by Scottie Scheffler), his Rutgers-to-Oklahoma journey, and why he might be the most well-rounded young American on tour. Plus: Max Homa's solo-second week with new caddie John Ellis, what the 2028 Championship Series/Challenger Series restructuring means for events like John Deere, Rory McIlroy's 15-event exemption situation, a loaded Scottish Open field with some LIV Golf headliners in Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, and the debate around golf content creators skipping the mini-tour grind.Before all that: Smylie's neck gives out mid-round playing with Steven Spieth, and Charlie discovers the secret to fixing his golf game — playing with 12 clubs.Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and follow us on socials @thesmylieshow!0:00 Intro & 4th of July weekend catch-up2:14 Smylie's neck injury 6:07 Charlie's golf slump — fixed by carrying 12 clubs10:18 Chris Gotterup's final-round 62 wins the John Deere Classic13:11 Why Gotterup is one of the next great young Americans17:12 Gotterup's shot-shaping 26:10 Max Homa's runner-up week and the John Ellis caddie effect30:17 The John Deere Classic's future under the 2028 tour restructuring40:03 Gotterup's emotional win and golf's need for storylines43:08 Rory McIlroy's 15-event exemption, explained46:24 Scottish Open preview: Rahm, Hatton & LIV golfers in the field52:26 UK heat wave and Open Championship conditions53:18 Brad Dalke's DP World Tour week and the YouTube-vs-grind debate58:59 Sign-off & what's coming this week#golf #pgatour #golfrecap #chrisgotterup #smylieshow

After news broke that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund would cease backing LIV Golf beyond this season, putting its future in doubt, Jon Rahm was asked in May about the status of his contract with the tour. “I don't see many ways out,” the 31-year-old Spaniard answered pragmatically. Rahm's next steps appear dependent on whether LIV can secure external funding to continue operating beyond this year—if its 2026 schedule can even be completed—but in the meantime, his golden handcuffs haven't been so bad. Rahm's contract, which reportedly guaranteed him at least $300 million when the former world No. 1 left the PGA Tour in December 2023 to sign with LIV, has made him the world's highest-paid golfer for the third consecutive year. Forbes estimates Rahm hauled in $111 million over the last 12 months before taxes and agent fees, sending his total pay for the past three years north of $400 million. His compensation since last June includes an estimated $101 million in prize money and on-course bonuses as well as $10 million in off-course earnings from brand partnerships, appearance fees and licensing income. In addition to his contractual guarantee with LIV, which Forbes estimates to be worth $50 million for the past year, Rahm pulled in an $18 million bonus in 2025 as LIV's individual champion for the second year in a row, and he has won two tournaments so far this season, helping push his total up 9% from the estimated $102 million he pocketed in the 12 months that ended in June 2025.

My Father’s Day isn’t complete until I plop down after lunch on Sunday to watch the final 18 holes of the US Open golf tournament. My wife and sons became quite familiar with my annual Father’s Day afternoon ritual. I have to grind the final five hours of this golf tournament (on television, of course) until a winner is crowned. In the event of a tie, a two-hole playoff will be held immediately following the final round. Prior to 2018, there was an 18-hole playoff conducted on Monday. The US Open is usually played on the toughest golf course which the professional golfers face all year. The last ten US Open champions have posted an average winning total of just six under par. This year’s US Open returns to a windswept tract near the eastern tip of New York’s Long Island. Shinnecock Hills was founded in 1891 and is one of the oldest golf courses in the United States. They were also one of the first American golf clubs to admit women members from its inception. This will be the fifth US Open conducted at Shinnecock Hills since 1986. Ray Floyd won that one with a one under par total. Corey Pavin won in 1995 (even par). Retief Goosen took the 2004 event at Shinnecock Hills with a four under par score. The most recent US Open held at this course was in 2018 and captured by Brooks Koepka with a one over par score. In other words, this fascinating US seaside links has a long history of playing tough for professional golfers. Watch for these holes to cause the golfers significant trouble this week Hole #7 (Rodan) – Listed at 185 yards, the par-3 7th hole at Shinnecock is a devilish short hole. The winds play havoc with shot selection off the tee. The green features a unique rodan design. That means that the green slopes away from the front portion and toward the back left side. A bad tee shot is quite likely to result in a bogey or worse here. Hole #9 (Ben Nevis) – Ben Nevis is the name of the highest peak (4,400′) in Scotland. The final par-4 on Shinnecock’s opening nine holes involves golfers playing their second shot uphill by some 20 yards against a prevailing wind into an elevated green. Once on the putting surface, some players will face a downhill putt with the wind now pushing their golf ball even faster to make par an exceptional score. Hole #11 (Hill Head) – You wouldn’t think that a short 150 yard par-3 hole would cause many of the top golfers in the world to get jittery standing on the tee box. Missing this elevated green (which looks like inverted bowl from the tee) quickly brings a bogey or double bogey into play. There are four deep sand traps surrounding the 11th hole. Add a gusty wind on the tee, and this short par-3 can wreck someone’s round in a hurry. Hole #14 (Thom’s Elbow) – This difficult par-4 plays a lengthy 520 yards and moves uphill on your second shot into the green. Don’t forget the ever-changing 15-25 mph winds which will affect both your tee shot and approach into the green. The hole was named for Shinnecock’s 55-year Scottish head golf pro named Charlie Thom. Two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw once asked Mr. Thom why the 14th hole was named after him. Thom replied, “Look at my elbow. It’s crooked. They named the 14th hole after me, because it’s crooked like my elbow. It goes back up the hill.” Which golfers are “hot” coming into the US Open? Let’s cover a few golfers who are playing well right now. Wyndham Clark – He won the US Open in 2023. Clark then went into a lengthy slump but has returned to form recently with a win at the Byron Nelson tournament in Dallas. He also posted a third place finish at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio a few weeks ago along with an 11th place finish last week at the Canadian Open. When you’re hot, you’re hot! Russell Henley – The quiet Henley won the Colonial in Fort Worth a month ago. He followed it up with a 22nd place finish at the Memorial. Henley has a tendency to play well on difficult courses. Shinnecock Hills will provide a great test of his skills this week. Matt Fitzpatrick – The winner of two events this spring on the PGA Tour, Fitzpatrick shot a closing 66 and 64 in the final two rounds of last week’s Canadian Open to finish in second place. Did you remember that this English golfer won the 2022 US Open title? His game is peaking at the right time this year for a possible second major championship win. Cameron Young – A product of nearby Scarborough, New York, Cameron Young is another two-time winner on this year’s PGA Tour. Young is going to have a boisterous crowd of New York area fans rooting for him all weekend. Now for a few top golfers who haven’t sizzled recently but may contend this week Scottie Scheffler – The world #1-ranked golfer has failed to score a victory since late January. That doesn’t mean that he’s playing poorly, though. Scheffler’s last five tournaments have produced two runner-up finishes, a third place, 12th place, and 14th. Scottie Scheffler could complete his personal career “Grand Slam” with a win at this week’s US Open. He’ll be ready. Jon Rahm – LIV Golf’s top player in 2026, Rahm won the 2021 US Open title on another tough layout at Torrey Pines in San Diego. Spain’s Jon Rahm, like Scottie Scheffler, has a way of pushing his way to the top of the leaderboard in major championships. He broke an 18 month slump with two wins on the LIV Golf tour this spring. JJ Spaun – The defending US Open champion finished sixth and 12th in his two most recent golf tournaments. Spaun’s focus and gritty style is reminiscent of another past US Open winner at Shinnecock Hills. Corey Pavin captured the 1995 US Open on this same golf course with a memorable four wood second shot from the 18th fairway to seal the victory. Tommy Fleetwood – After finally breaking through in 2025 with a win at the Tour Championship, Fleetwood’s sights are now set on winning his first major golf title. The Englishman is quite familiar with seaside links after beginning his professional golf career on the European circuit. Fleetwood is overdue for his first major championship triumph. Don’t overlook these former US Open winners this week! Rory McIlroy – Rory’s first major title was a US Open. He won the 2011 US Open at Congressional near Washington, DC by a whopping eight shots. The deep rough at Shinnecock Hills will punish Rory if his recent issues with errant drives continue. Bryson DeChambeau – Inconsistency has been the only consistent portion of Bryson DeChambeau’s game this season. The two-time US Open champion (2020 and 2024) missed the cut at both The Masters and PGA Championship this year. However, he won twice in March on the LIV Golf Tour. DeChambeau, like McIlroy, must hit more fairways off the tee this week at Shinnecock Hills to get into contention. Justin Rose – The 45 year old Rose is playing in his 100th consecutive major golf tournament this week. That’s a record bested only by Jack Nicklaus. The Golden Bear played in an incredible 146 straight appearances in golf’s majors. Justin Rose is the seventh ranked golfer in the world. He won the 2013 US Open at Merion Golf Club near Pittsburgh. His maturity in pressure situations could give him a chance this week. Brooks Koepka – He won the 2018 US Open on this same golf course eight years ago. Koepka has played well at times this year but hasn’t registered a win in 2026. His five major championship wins have usually been on difficult golf courses. He knows Shinnecock Hills well. If he makes the weekend cut, Brooks Koepka might be a factor on Sunday afternoon. US Open weather: The National Weather Service is calling for: Thursday – 40% chance of rain. High near 76. South winds gusting to 35 mph. Friday – Sunny. High of 77 degrees. West winds at 10-15 mph. Saturday – Sunny. High of 75 degrees. West winds at 10-15 mph with higher gusts Father’s Day Sunday – Sunny. High near 74. West winds 10-15 mph.

What a week. After the excitement yesterday of the PK news, and the co-sanctioning with the PGAT (along with the DPWT), and what that could mean, we've got plenty to run through. And given that, we thought we'd kick off the show by chatting to Tour Pro, and Peninsula Kingswood royalty, Marcus Fraser about how it came about and whether the excitement levels are off the chart. Marcus reveals that there has been offers before for events at PK, but the board decided to wait for the right event, and that has paid off. Whilst the course will play as a composite, he is yet to have a decent look at the routing, however he said the excitement around the club is huge. For Hostplus, the AO at PK is our plus for golf this week.Mark questions why the even need the composite approach, which he and Nick discuss.This weeks BMW Touch of Class is easy. Last week, just after we recorded the pod, we heard the news that the legendary Brian Twite from Metropolitan had passed away only 2 months shy of turning 100. Mark tells a great story about getting in trouble from Brian when he (Mark) was a mischievous kid doing what mischievous kids do, and being chased by Brian on a motorbike on a golf course!Mark read this week that LIV are saying that they have a number of Australian sponsors who are interested, and Mark asks Nick - where have they been for the last decade ? On LIV, with rumours (unsubstantiated) of money not forthcoming to wrap up the season, what could that mean were it to occur. Mark read this week about the details of Jon Rahm's LIV deal, the numbers are mind-blowing, and Nick describes them as 'silly'.Nick and Mark discuss how it is disappointing that the prizemoney in Australia today, is pretty much what it was 30-years ago.It is US Open week, we touch on it briefly today - not because we're not excited but because we'll do a preview pod over the next day or two and get into some real detail about the tournament. We do discuss Shinnecock, and some of the adjustments to the course - particularly the widening. Nick describes this course as 'brutal'.After the turn, as if he needed another reason, Mark has found one to criticise the world feed over. Nick reckons Charlie Woods may well be on the bag in the US Open, that would be interesting.Nicks Top 5 this week for Betr, and he lists his Top 5 memorable moments from Australasian players, one player makes two entries! For Southern Golf Club, into feedback:Ron has a fun fact about Nelly Korda's win a week or so back, Ken and John each have some feedback on Marks 'Swatters' Top 5 from last week, we hear some great stories about Sandy Lyle. Lots of feedback on our video from The Furrows last week - see it here - Gards, Angela, and Pete loved it, Wolfpacker Mark has a question for our Mark about his putter, and Ali Whittaker, commentator extraordinaire, enjoyed Nick showing different shots for how different people play. And on The Furrows video, a whack from Soph for one team member who gets a little defensive over it.The overwhelming feedback was that you want more of that sort of stuff, so we think one a month might be good....let us know in the comments if you reckon that would be worthwhile (or not).Message, and a request, from Simon over the international feed, and Mark goes rogue and lays the blame for the international feed's very existence at the feet of one person. He names the person who he blames, and explains why he believes that said person is responsible. Ouch.Few more bits of feedback, Darren on the 3-club challenge, Dodgy on the 7-club tournament idea, and Stephen has what is essentially a crack at Nick O'Hern...!PING Globals from Nick, not a hugely busy week in golf, but a few things going on around the world. Mark read a tweet from Ryan at Monday Q on 'Why Cuts Matter' which he discusses, and Nick and Mark discuss the strategy behind attempting to qualify for a major.And for the Golf Clearance Outlet, Marks masterclass is on 'finishing balanced'.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Hostplus, Talk Birdie To Me's official retirement partnerBMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;The Find My Player app - follow every player on every tour;And Southern Golf Club.

We are four wide on this busy Friday with a lot of news to discuss as the week closes before the U.S. Open. Brendan is joined by KVV, Joseph, and PJ. They begin with the Golf Digest report on allegations against Phil Mickelson of nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact with a female employee at his home club that led to his removal from said club. They discuss the late stage spiral of Phil, and the seriousness of this now most recent allegation, the mess he’s made of his career, what could have been, and what will never be now. Then they get into a spate of LIV news from reports on the future of its remaining four events in the Financial Times, to a report on confusion about the contracts for players like Jon Rahm, to one more about the Australian Open perhaps becoming the “death knell” of LIV’s reimagined plans. Joseph brings some provocative comments about the TPC Toronto test for the Canadian Open and the PGA Tour putting bumpers up for the highest level of pro golf. KVV has a Flashback segment on a former rules kerfuffle at a U.S. Open that had players tweeting angrily all through the evening. Then they close with a wide-ranging PJ minute on the Knicks, an all time win, and an all time rant about Carmelo’s place in franchise lore.

A bombshell new report reveals how LIV Golf plans to survive without unlimited funding. In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down a bombshell new report detailing what a potential LIV Golf 2.0 could look like as the league fights for its future. With reports suggesting LIV Golf has already lost billions of dollars and may be running out of time to secure new investment, we examine the proposed restructuring plan that could reshape professional golf. From team majors and signature events to player equity and reduced purses, we discuss how LIV hopes to attract investors while keeping stars like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm on board. We also dive into reports that every remaining LIV Golf event this season could be in jeopardy, the league’s unusual 47-day break, and what it all means for players, fans, and the ongoing battle with the PGA Tour. Is LIV Golf truly on the verge of collapse, or does this new vision provide a realistic path forward? Plus, we analyze Bryson’s apparent commitment to the league, Jon Rahm’s future, the role of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), and whether LIV’s international success can be enough to save the league. If you’re following the latest golf news, PGA Tour developments, and the future of professional golf, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

The Content Gods delivered an absolute goldmine of press conference quotes for this Wednesday episode! Andy joins Brendan fresh off of U.S. Open Media Day at Shinnecock Hills and he airs some grievances about all facets of Long Island without PJ present. The two discuss whether Shinnecock is possibly the best golf course in the world and remember the most iconic shots from previous U.S. Opens played in Southampton. After a brief tangent regarding the new programmatic ads inserted into the audio version of the show - there's a first time for everything! - things get back on track with three major LIV stories from Tuesday. First, Jon Rahm has reached an agreement with the DP World Tour to pay all outstanding fines and pay the necessary events to retain membership. Rahm suggested that concessions were made on both sides, but the DPWT is merely forcing him to play one fewer event. Rahm also had some interesting comments regarding his future with LIV Golf, saying "I don't see many ways out," when asked about his contract. While Rahm got existential, Bryson DeChambeau spent the day at the White House alongside Todd Golden, Noah Syndergaard, and TJ Oshie among other "sports stars" as part of a new initiative from President Trump. He also revealed his plans for the future of his YouTube channel, including dubbing his videos into different languages to give the world a reason to watch YouTube! Before the LIV main event, there is a brief Truist Championship preview segment as the PGA Tour returns to Quail Hollow after last year's major championship delay. Rory McIlroy is back after another Masters win, Xander Schauffele looks to re-insert himself into the major conversation, and this Gambling Podcast looks to stay hot on picks! The two run through the rest of the Schedule for the Week, including an alternate event featuring Brooks Koepka, the LPGA's stop in New Jersey, and a Tiger Woods-less Insperity Invitational. It is then SHOWTIME for this episode, as Brendan does a dramatic reading of today's Scott O'Neil press conference at LIV Virginia. From 50+ mentions of "business" to a ridiculous Mother's Day greeting, you will not want to miss these quotes as LIV kicks off its first United States-based event of 2026.

LIV Golf might've learned something from Andy's weekend of garage sales as they're looking for buyers ahead of the 2027 season. Andy joins Brendan! from a very empty house for this First of the Month Recording packed with - you guessed it! - more LIV news from the golf story of the year. As first reported by Josh Carpenter, Yasir Al-Rumayyan is OUT as Chairman of LIV Golf, leaving his post on the league's Board of Directors as the Saudi PIF pulls its funding at the end of 2026. LIV replaced Yasir with two new board members on Thursday, one of whom has a long history of joining companies cleaning up the pieces after filing for bankruptcy. Andy and Brendan bat around some LIV takes, including what value, if any, Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm might actually bring to the PGA Tour if they were to return. Should LIV fold or look drastically different moving forward, it's decided that the biggest winner could be the DP World Tour with players such as David Puig and Tyrrell Hatton playing there full-time next year. Meanwhile, the PGA Tour is playing this week for another $20 million purse at Trump Doral, where True American Patriot Cameron Young broke the course record on a day with no wind in Miami. Justin Rose debuted his shiny new McLaren clubs en route to a disappointing score, but Brendan is especially appalled at the retail price of these new irons. In yet another example of wild money being spent on golf for unknown levels of return, Andy and Brendan then read a statement from Motor City Golf Club that accompanied a logo release for their first TGL season in 2027. After a Playoff Basketball Minute, Kevin Van Valkenburg stops by to share a B. Draddy Flashback Friday about an International Presidents Cup legend winning at Doral.
