Podcasts about Koepka

The hits just keep on coming early in this 2026 golf season: Patrick Reed is BACK on the PGA Tour... in August. Andy and Brendan begin this episode with some other breaking news regarding a beloved recurring bit possibly coming to an end and some more details about the SGS Live Show coming to Evanston on Thursday, February 12. They then dive into the biggest news of Thursday: Tony Finau's new Jordan Brand clothing. After a conversation about fashion, Andy and Brendan discuss Patrick Reed's decision to leave LIV Golf and play the DP World Tour in 2026 before returning to the PGA Tour in 2027. They debate whether "LIV is dead," as reported by many, and wonder whether any other LIV players will reassess their allegiances after Brian Rolapp removed another hurdle towards a PGA Tour return for Reed. Andy deems that LIV deserves this outcome of losing its stars following a FOX Sports graphic promoting the season opener that misspelled the names of Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, and Martin Kaymer (henceforth known as Martin Kraymer on this podcast). Brendan reads Patrick Reed's statement, in which he claims he was "born to play on the PGA Tour," even though he voluntarily left said Tour years ago to play on LIV. The real winners in all of this? Guys like Laurie Canter and Victor Perez, who now have one less player to compete against for these big purses. Speaking of returning players, Brooks Koepka played his first round back on the PGA Tour on ESPN, carding a 73 on the South Course at Torrey Pines. Andy compares his "re-debut" to what it's like when Tiger returns from an injury, leading to massive over-analysis of every little thing in one round or tournament. Koepka played with Ludvig Åberg - always comfortable going to and from the course - and Max Homa, both of whom struggled mightily on Thursday. Justin Lower and Justin Rose are atop the leaderboard at Farmers. We end the show with the return of Golf Advice, featuring an Andy-submitted question for Brendan and a listener question that BP deems "human advice." Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12! We'll be hanging out at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of Q&A, Champs Tour Minute, and plenty of Bears chatter.

TaylorMade CEO David Abeles joins the show (37:20) for an incredible interview on running a multi-billion dollar golf company, partnering with the top-3 players in the world (plus Tiger Woods), a driver that saved the company, the mini driver craze and much more. While we're recording, Patrick Reed returning to the PGA Tour news breaks (1:53:30). And we talk: Koepka's first call being Tiger (13:30), Nelly Korda's candid WTGL comments (23:20), Bill Belichick getting snubbed (1:33:50), Rory mocking Cantlay's foot waggle (29:50), and finish with Closest To The Pin (1:38:20).You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

January 29, 2026 Hour 2. One week or two weeks between Championship weekend and The Super Bowl? Koepka back on tour, Patrick Reed too! HOF, which five would you vote for?

Not sure if you've heard about it, but Brooks Koepka is back on the PGA Tour this week! Andy joins Brendan for this Farmers Insurance Open preview coming off a big Ballfrogs win on Monday night. He's giddy about the Frogs continuing to earn the top spot in our TGL Power Rankings and makes a pitch for Michael Thorbjornsen to become a permanent member of the team. Brooks Koepka has not yet joined a TGL team, but he did join some assembled media for a pre-tournament press conference at Torrey Pines on Tuesday. He spoke about his nerves returning to the PGA Tour and seemed a little emotional discussing the path that led him back to the Farmers. Andy and Brendan unpack the half-hour presser before Brendan offers up some over/unders for Koepka's 2026 season. How many Signature Events will he play? Will he return to Bellerive for the BMW Championship in August? Will he ever suit up for Jupiter Links after all? Koepka will be in a featured group at the Farmers for Thursday and Friday which will be broadcast on linear TV thanks to ESPN. Brendan wonders if this is the PGA Tour showing off to Bryson and Rahm that they could also be prominently featured on the Worldwide Leader in Sports if they were to return before their approaching deadline. Could Patrick Reed also be part of this conspiracy? We'll have to find out. Andy shares his "5 Guys to Monitor (For Various Reasons)" ahead of this week's festivities at Torrey, keeping an eye on a horse for the course and a major champion that could be on the trade block. One-and-done picks are made for the Farmers with PJ's pick prompting a fun Medinah story from Andy. Elsewhere on the schedule, LPGA season kicks off this week at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions and Patrick Reed looks to stay hot on the DP World Tour in Bahrain. In news, the 2026 PGA Tour Player Advisory Council was announced and has a distinctly American feel, Nelly Korda has some *takes* about WTGL, and a DP World Tour player goes down for a performance-enhancing drug suspension.

Andy Johnson is joined by Fried Egg Golf's Kevin Van Valkenburg and Joseph LaMagna to discuss some of the biggest storylines in men's professional golf in 2026. To start, the three talk through Brooks Koepka's return to the PGA Tour and Brian Rolapp's Returning Member Program that allowed him to do so. They then transition into a conversation about the future of LIV Golf and where the league may go from here after losing one of its biggest-name players back to the PGA Tour. Finally, Andy, Kevin, and Joseph each present three storylines that they're watching this season, including breakout players, a potential return to peak form for a former World No. 1, and a second year of Ben Griffin's rise to the top of the game.

Andy did not declare this a Victory Friday episode, but is looking ahead to another potential Victory Monday coming soon! He opens the show by telling Brendan how nice it is to have a franchise quarterback that can lead a team into meaningful January football and is downright giddy about Sunday's matchup against the Rams. Andy wishes that Brendan and PJ may one day get to experience having a long-term answer at QB, but for now, they all get to watch the PGA Tour's Opening Drive at the 2026 Sony Open! Brendan confirms that the Opening Drive is, in fact, just this one event and the branding will be removed by the time we get to Palm Springs, but it's great to have professional golf back nonetheless. There's some new internal OB at Waialae Country Club and some literal walls built to prevent alternate routes being taken off the tee, the fairways have "no fire," and the course was as soft as a dartboard on Thursday morning. A new year means new equipment sponsorships and Andy and Brendan are delighted to share that a burly podcast favorite is officially a PXG troop! Andy waxes poetic about his time with Dr. Bob before PJ pops the bubble and confirms that he is also an honorary doctor, much to Brendan's dismay. Rory McIlroy is in the early lead in Dubai and made headlines by playing with cavity-back irons. Andy breaks out a take that all pros should have to play blades and leads Brendan into an "Equipment Minute." Tuesday's TGL match is very briefly discussed as Andy and PJ walk Brendan through what he missed skipping out on another Jup Stinks loss. Brendan rounds up some quotes from PGA Tour players (such as Will Zalatoris, this week's guest on The Fried Egg Golf Podcast) about Brooks Koepka's return and it seems like many are happy to have him back. Wyndham Clark is not necessarily among them, saying that the penalty is like Brooks having his cake and eating it too. Speaking of Brooks, Kevin Van Valkenburg comes in from the bullpen to close the show with a Flashback Friday segment on the Top 10 Brooks Koepka moments from his first PGA Tour stint. KVV covers Koepka's feud with Bryson, his beef with a horse, and repeated media slights that offended the five-time major champion.

Episode 142 | In Episode 2 of Season 5, David and Tim roll with the changes as several major 2026 storylines continue to take shape across the sports business landscape.

Gary Williams is joined by Brendon de Jonge (Wagyu Filet, Golf Central Pregame) and Taylor Zarzour (The Starter) for a wide-ranging conversation on the biggest storylines shaping the 2026 golf season.The crew reacts to Brooks Koepka's PGA TOUR reentry — including Tiger Woods' comments on the process, penalties, and how Koepka's return impacts fields without taking spots away from current members. They also dive into what Koepka's outlook could look like once he's fully back in rhythm.From there, it's a big-picture debate on the Scottie Scheffler run and how close we may be to historical comparisons — plus what a Rory McIlroy vs. Scottie Scheffler duel could look like at Augusta National and Shinnecock Hills.Later, the panel makes 2026 projections:Tommy Fleetwood vs. Xander Schauffele — who has the bigger year?Cam Young vs. Ludvig Åberg — who takes the next leap into the top tier?Jordan Spieth in 2026 — win potential vs. week-to-week consistencyPlus: Dogs of the Week returns, and the crew closes with picks for the Dubai Invitational and the Sony Open.2:10 - 16:57 Brendon de Jonge17:30 - 42:35 Taylor Zarzour43:00 - Dogs of the week & Picks of the week5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and PGA TOUR Radio on SiriusXM (Channel 92)

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open Wednesday morning by recapping the Maple Leafs' 6–1 loss to the Utah Mammoth. They dive into the impact of the team's brutal schedule, the effort level on display last night, the tight Eastern Conference race, and the goaltending picture between Dennis Hildeby and Anthony Stolarz. Ben and Brent then look ahead to preview Thursday's matchup against Mitch Marner and the Vegas Golden Knights, focusing on Toronto's expected response and any potential tension. After the break, the guys react to Mike Tomlin stepping down from the Steelers and discuss his legacy in Pittsburgh, as well as the team's future. They wrap up this hour with thoughts on Brooks Koepka's return to the PGA Tour and what it means for LIV Golf and its top players.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.

To paraphrase Jay Monahan, the PGA Tour's Opening Drive is *finally* just about underway! Andy and Brendan are beyond happy to have actual golf back on the Schedule for the Week, even if this is still a Victory Wednesday episode for the Bears. It could also be a Victory Wednesday episode for the PGA Tour, as Brian Rolapp's new Returning Member Program has enabled Brooks Koepka's return at the Farmers Open in just two weeks. Andy and Brendan discuss all the details of the new pathway, open to just four LIV golfers for the next three weeks before LIV's season begins in Riyadh. The two wonder if the financial penalty of "equity coupons" and a donation to charity was enough of a punishment for Brooks, but see this move as an overwhelmingly positive for the Tour and Brian Rolapp's tenure. Things seemingly moved quickly over the weekend and Rolapp gets props from Andy and Brendan for decisively striking while the iron is hot. PJ makes a change to his major picks, awarding Brooks with a fourth PGA Championship, but Brendan is skeptical that Koepka will find himself in major shape in 2026. Brooks will not be at the Sony Open this week, but many PGA Tour stars will be to start the season. This gambling pod makes some picks for the first event of the year, riding with two big names and a podcast favorite. Elsewhere, Rory McIlroy and other European Ryder Cup heroes are in Dubai this week for a DP World Tour event as a tune-up before coming back to the states. Brendan comes in with a real winner for the Event of the Week, Tiger's 50th birthday at the Breakers in Palm Beach. Andy and Brendan toss out some musical acts that would fit the vibe before realizing that Jon Bon Jovi is already enlisted to perform. Lastly, some major LIV news came across the desk on Tuesday morning as the Ironheads and Stingers GC have re-branded! This podcast will continue using the Stingers name, but some potentially-AI press releases reveal the new country-based names of these teams. There's also some LIV hot stove news with a former U.S. Amateur winner seemingly making the jump from the PGA Tour.

Brooks Koepka is officially back on the PGA Tour, and the ripple effects could reshape the future of professional golf. With the new Returning Member Program creating a pathway for players like Jon Rahm, Cameron Smith, and Bryson DeChambeau to return, Gary Williams breaks down what this means for both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf moving forward.Gary is joined by Gabby Herzig of The Athletic and Josh Carpenter of Sports Business Journal to examine how Koepka's return could influence player movement, Tour strategy, and the competitive balance between the PGA Tour and LIV — and what this moment signals for the next chapter of the professional game.Gary also talks with Jones Cup champion and SMU standout William Sides to discuss his performance at Sea Island, his path through amateur golf, and even his choice of headwear as he continues to rise in the game.5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and PGA TOUR Radio on SiriusXM (Channel 92) 0:00 - 7:15 Opening thoughts on Brooks Koepka's Return7:24 - 20:41 Gabby Herzig21:49 - 31:35 William Sides32:26 - 44:02 Josh Carpenter

It was a wild Monday on the PGA Tour as CEO Brian Rolapp announced a new plan for certain players to be reinstated to the PGA Tour - one of those players will be Brooks Koepka. Koepka will make his PGA Tour return in a few weeks at Torrey Pines. Anthony Kim played some clutch golf this week to finish third and qualify for a full season on LIV Golf in 2026. Kim made some birdies and clutch pars down the stretch to secure his spot. The PGA Tour returns this week as players head to Hawaii for the Sony Open.

Brooks Koepka made the decision to leave LIV Golf and want to return to the PGA Tour. While most thought it would take a long time for him to return, a new policy set forth by the PGA Tour doesn't just make it easy for Koepka to return, but also other players who left for LIV. Will Koepka's return be the first domino to fall for LIV Golf and their ultimate demise? That's the topic of discussion with Jeff Hartman on the Fairways & Dreams podcast.

Today's show opens with Gary Williams breaking down the latest surrounding five-time major champion Brooks Koepka, the nine-time PGA Tour winner, and the growing speculation about a potential return to the PGA Tour, along with a wider look at the current state of the professional game.Golf Channel analyst and eight-time PGA Tour winner Brad Faxon — a former Ryder Cup player, Walker Cup champion, and one of the greatest putters in the history of the game — joins the show to share his perspective on what Koepka's return could mean for the sport, why Scottie Scheffler is poised to dominate once again in 2026, and his personal favorites when it comes to both golf and food.Gary wraps up the episode with a look ahead at this year's major championship venues and other key events that will shape the golf calendar in 2026.0:00 - 13:52: Brooks returning to PGA Tour 14:05 - 33:12 - Brad Faxon34:00-43:45 - Major Venues & other notable events this year 44:05 - 46:14 -Closing thoughtsRegister for the heartbeat today.

Andy and Brendan! are back! After an extended break to end the year, the first episode of 2026 has plenty of news to catch up on and is, of course, a Victory Monday celebration. Andy is still rolling after the first-ever Ballfrogs win on Friday night, claiming that this victory lasts all weekend. Michael Thorbjornsen was a star in his TGL debut, but much of the conversation was on a star who was not yet present in the SoFi Dome: Brooks Koepka. Andy and Brendan unpack Koepka's departure from LIV and Talor Gooch's upcoming captaincy of Smash GC. The two debate where Brooks will play in 2026 and agree that it's unlikely that he'll play on the PGA Tour this year. His PGA Tour standing will apparently impact his TGL candidacy as well, but Rory, SVP, and other major names in the virtual golf universe all made it seem like Brooks's indoor debut is imminent! Will he be the savior Jup Links so desperately needs? In other LIV Hot Stove news, Pat Perez is angling for a return to the PGA Tour before his 50th birthday and Kevin Na has unfollowed the league on Instagram. What does this mean for the Ironheads? Nobody knows! With no golf to preview this week, PJ leads an audit of last year's over-unders, looking back at Zatch moments, destruction of property by international superstars, and missed cuts at majors by many big name stars. As it turns out, all three football minds nailed the under on the 2025 Bears/Browns/Jets total, ushering a Football Minute to close this show. PJ is thrilled with the chain of events leading to the Jets obtaining the second overall pick in April's draft, Shedeur led yet another win for the Browns as Myles Garrett broke the NFL's sack record, and Andy is already preparing for a playoff matchup against the best quarterback on the Packers, Jordan Love. Stay tuned as we preview more and more of the 2026 golf season before the Sony Open kicks off next Thursday.

Andy and Brendan's Christmas wish for a "Home Alone" episode to finish out 2025 has come true! The Boys take over the feed for this final look back at the year in professional golf as Joseph and PJ recap the 3M Open and Wyndham Championship. Before getting to what was perhaps the most important tournament of the season, The Boys first discuss TGL's Season 2 debut on Sunday. Billy Horschel took down NYGC again, continuing to be the bane of the entire city's existence according to the broadcast. Billy was joined by Chris Gotterup and Corey Conners on the Atlanta Drive as last-minute replacement players for the suddenly-injured Patrick Cantlay and Lucas Glover. Despite only having one (1) of the team's four (4) players active, Atlanta still managed to clean up against Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Xander Schauffele. Joseph and PJ discuss some standout new holes designed by Augie Pizá and share some excitement for this Friday's Ballfrogs match. There's also been a bit of major golf news since we've been away - Talor Gooch is now the captain of Smash GC! Joseph reads from a new LIV article detailing Gooch's approach to his newfound captaincy and the fallout from Brooks Koepka leaving the league with one year remaining on his contract. The Boys try to game out where this leaves Brooks to play in 2026 and PJ wonders if an easy route back to the PGA Tour for Koepka is coming soon. Bryson DeChambeau is also posturing for a new contract, telling Flushing It that some things need to change for the now-72 hole tour in 2026. After cleaning up the LIV hot stove, The Boys resume the Year in Review with a brief stop at TPC Sod Farms for the 3M Open. Scottie, Bryson, and many more golf stars were in attendance at the "Happy Gilmore 2" premiere this week, but no star shined as bright as Kurt Kityama at an Arnold Palmer design. The Kitty Kat held off challengers like Matt Wallace and Jake Knapp to secure his second PGA Tour win, setting the stage for the 1,000th unique winner in Tour history at the Wyndham. The majority of this episode is, naturally, spent remembering a superstar's win at an iconic Donald Ross venue in North Carolina. Cameron Young ran away with the tournament, beating Mac Meissner by six shots to finally win his first PGA Tour event. Joseph and PJ share the best highlights from the crowning of Mr. 1,000, properly giving this American Ryder Cup hero his flowers despite the best efforts of Andy and Brendan to prevent this from happening. The Boys end the show with a new segment called "Receipts Corner," calling out some who believed this day - or Cameron Young's ensuing end-of-season success - would never come. Andy and Brendan will return in 2026 for another year of covering the amusing, inane, and irreverent moments from professional golf.

Will Doctor gets you ready for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black this week. Will covers every golfer in the field for the Americans and Europeans. Will dives deep into who and what he thinks is the best strategy for your betting approach. Will Doctor (0:15 - 0:28) opened the show welcoming listeners with energy and promising sharp Ryder Cup insights. Will Doctor (0:33 - 55:37) recapped the fiery ceremonies, noting Luke Donald's criticism of U.S. systems, Keegan Bradley's Farmingdale roots, and Kathy Hochul's repeated boos. He framed the 45th Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black as electric and immediately criticized the U.S. for starting with alternate shot, pointing out Europe's 51–37 advantage in that format since 2002 and calling the decision “an act of insanity.” He explained the point structure—28 total, Europe needs 14 to retain, U.S. 14.5 to win back—and emphasized Europe's chemistry, with 11 of 12 returning from 2023, compared to a U.S. side rusty after limited recent play. He highlighted the strength of the American roster with Scheffler, Henley, Schauffele, and Thomas but reminded listeners that past U.S. teams with world number ones still lost. Missing veterans like Spieth and Koepka left the squad without seasoned leaders. On Bethpage, he called it a “1936 masterpiece” demanding precision, but said rain-softened conditions and trimmed rough may neutralize its difficulty. On players, Scheffler was praised as “the best long iron player in the game,” likely paired with Henley. J.J. Spaun was credited for elite irons and big-moment poise. Schauffele's experience (14-8-0) was countered by wild driving, while Henley's consistency made him invaluable despite lacking distance. Harris English's poor irons raised doubts, while DeChambeau was seen as a potential difference-maker if paired with a “marksman” like Spaun or Griffin rather than Thomas, whose ball striking woes made him “statistically the worst player on this American team.” Morikawa's poor prep suggested limited use, while rookies Griffin and Cameron Young were urged as sparks, with Young called the “hometown kid” who should be unleashed early. Cantlay's 15-6-1 team record earned a call to play every session, and Burns's putting strength positioned him as a best-ball asset. On Europe, McIlroy was expected to thrive on softened fairways and pair again with Fleetwood, whose form and partnership history made him a projected star. McIntyre was labeled a weak link due to shaky ball striking, while Rose was respected for veteran leadership but doubted for heavy use. Rasmus Højgaard was called a “sneaky weapon” in four-ball, Hatton reliable in foursomes with Rahm but risky in singles, and Lowry and Straka limited by putting and approach struggles. In contrast, Åberg and Hovland were described as statistical machines, with Hovland “a major problem” for the U.S. Fitzpatrick, historically poor at Ryder Cups, was forecasted to break through thanks to sharp recent form. Rahm's 6-3-3 Ryder Cup record and clutch history, including a win over Tiger in 2018, reinforced his role as Europe's closer. Will ended without picking an outright winner, instead backing Scheffler as top U.S. scorer (+275) and Europe in foursomes (+135), citing their 7-1 domination in 2023. He concluded that softened Bethpage conditions tilt slightly toward Europe but overall make the 2025 Ryder Cup too close to call Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This episode was recorded before NFL kickoff on Sunday, so Victory Monday for the Bears and Browns will have to wait. Andy is still licking his wounds from an ugly Illini loss to Indiana on Saturday night and wonders if winning out would still clinch a playoff spot. PJ is in high spirits after a Syracuse win in Death Valley and an early scouting trip to Bethpage on Saturday morning - only for the Jets to ruin everything again. We wrap up College Football Corner and discuss some wonderful coffee golf at the French Open (presented by FedEx) on Sunday. Michael Kim secured his first win since the 2018 John Deere Classic, edging out Elvis Smylie, Min Woo Lee, and Brooks Koepka. With Kim, Lee, and Koepka dropping in on the DP World Tour to great success, Brendan tries to draw some conclusions about where these fall fields stand overseas. Andy makes the case for a potential unification between the PGA Tour and DP World Tour that would have one points list and a stronger fall schedule. The LPGA had yet another unique result to uphold the streak - a cancelation of the tournament in Arkansas after 18 holes! Brendan has PJ share some scuttlebutt from the early merch preview at Bethpage, including some reporting about the famous sign - a favorite of Jason Garrett. In an actual bit of news, Rory McIlroy spoke with The Guardian and took his chance to pop Bryson DeChambeau ahead of a potential match this week. Rory also says he's "more confident" in a win for Europe now than he was when he made his guarantee in 2023. Andy and Brendan answer some listener questions about the Ryder Cup to close things out before traveling to the great state of New York for this week's festivities.

Stephie Smalls kicks off this week's sports-and-chaos spectacular with Dave Kluge (@DaveKluge) of Football Guys (0:00). They dive deep into the post-NFL Draft fantasy fallout: Is it time to believe in the Bears again (2:45)? Which rookies are overdrafted fantasy mirages (10:00)?

It is Victory Monday for Brendan and his Cavs, but there is not much else to rejoice about in this episode. Andy is home from Bandon and he has some thoughts on his trip there. Then they get to just a tough, tough scene for the PGA Tour product in the CJ Cup Byron Nelson at Craig Ranch. They are both down and despondent about it, but congratulatory to Taylor Pendrith, who is likely heading back to the Presidents Cup. There are some more harsh words for the host course. They wonder about any LIV momentum especially given what appears to be continued board gridlock. They discuss Brooks Koepka's win there, a solid leaderboard, and the comments from Greg Norman that they might buy some golf courses. In news, they discuss Tiger's exemption to Pinehurst. He will apparently be there but it's still unclear who will be the NBC lead analyst, which prompts further discussion with that network apparently putting in a bid to spend on NBA rights. Alejandro Tosti's visit to Six Flags is also covered, and there's excitement about his potential inclusion in the Summer Olympics.
