Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Valero Texas Open live from San Antonio at TPC San Antonio (Oaks). -Discussing top 8 on odds board -1 matchup -1 t10, 1 t20 -3 outrights (30/1, 55/1, 110/1) -Sleeper, 2 FRP, 2 lineups -Scoring, best bet For the latest as far as the world of golf, follow Doc on X @drmedia59 In the VALSPAR25 Golf Preview Podcast, Will Doctor recaps the Houston Open and offers a detailed betting breakdown for the upcoming Valero Texas Open. He opens by acknowledging a disappointing week in Houston, losing 5.5 units, bringing his season total to -53.8 units. Minwoo Lee claimed his first PGA Tour title, winning by one over Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland. Though Minwoo only hit 22 of 52 fairways, his dominance on and around the greens—15th in approach and around-the-green, and 2nd in putting—secured the win. Alejandro Tosti, known for his distance (4th at 317 yards), finished T-5 after a solid Sunday despite a rough start. Gary Woodland's emotional runner-up, his best since brain surgery, was fueled by elite putting and iron play. Scottie Scheffler posted his best putting week of 2025 and nearly chased down Minwoo with a final round 63, birdieing holes 13 through 16. Will's picks last week largely faltered. Davis Thompson (T-27) had a strong middle stretch but imploded on the greens Sunday with several missed short putts. Mac Meissner (T-39) drove poorly, finishing 67th in strokes gained off the tee, but impressed with iron play. Tony Finau missed a top-20 finish by two shots due to negative iron stats and a disastrous four-putt on Saturday's 15th hole. Minwoo Lee's top-20 bet hit, but Mackenzie Hughes lost top Canadian to Taylor Pendrith, who posted three rounds of 65. Looking ahead to the Valero Texas Open, Will previews a course demanding driving accuracy and elite short game on firm Bermuda greens. He dismisses favorites Ludwig Aberg (12-1), Tommy Fleetwood (14-1), Patrick Cantlay (20-1), Hideki Matsuyama (20-1), Keegan Bradley (25-1), and Jordan Spieth (25-1) due to recent struggles, poor pricing, or course history. Corey Conners, despite being 18-1, gets a top-10 pick (+175) based on his consistent form and two past wins at TPC San Antonio. Akshay Bhatia, the defending champion, earns a top-20 nod at even money given his recent top finishes. Will's outrights include Denny McCarthy (30-1), praised for elite putting and consistent irons; Bud Cauley (55-1), coming off two top-10s with sharp ball striking; and Isaiah Salinda (110-1), a powerful, accurate rookie who dazzled late in Houston. Woodland, fresh off his emotional T-2, is his sleeper pick for a top-10 finish at 4-1. First-round picks are Cauley (+450) and Salinda (+650) to top-10, both teeing off early. His DraftKings lineup features Bhatia, McCarthy, Cauley, Woodland, Salinda, and Meissner, while the PGA Tour Fantasy roster has Bhatia, McCarthy, Cauley, Salinda (captain), Woodland, and Lee Hodges. With potential wind and rain forecasted, Will predicts a winning score of 16-under. His best bet: Salinda to finish top-20 at 3-1.

Well we start with the most important thing this week in golf, an update on our quest to have at least one listener in Latvia. Nick is on the case and tells us all about it.Big show. The Evian, a great win for Celine Boutier who made it look easy. Both Nick and Mark very impressed with Celine's performance. Mark was also happy to see Aussie Stephanie Kyriacou continue to do well. Nick not a fan of the course generally, nor is Mark, but they both love the views there. And some controversy in the Evian this week with the slow play penalty for Carlota Ciganda, resulting in a DQ. Nick and Mark discuss, and have a different view on the decision. Long chat about slow play, which drives both of the guys crazy.Nick and Mark chat about rules, they love the idea of banning yardage books on the greens, which has just come in at the USGA Amateur Events, both want to expand this rule to all tournaments.The 3M Open finish on Monday was unbelievable. Lee Hodges won by 7 shots, but what Mark wants to discuss was J.T. Poston's performance on the 72nd hole which was a shocker, and cost him a small fortune. The guys do the maths…and it's a lot of cash! Nick was pleased to see Aaron Baddeley do well at the 3M Open.Nick runs us through how the standings work with respect to qualifying for tournaments this year.Back onto rules, and the ball issue. Both Nick and Mark are disappointed with the US PGA decision on balls in elite competition, and Nick says Rory McIllroy is behind the decision. Long chat, Nick and Mark have very strong opinions on it and discuss it at length.Plenty of feedback and questions from you this week, including a ripper from Brett on handling frustration on the golf course - Nick and Mark give their techniques for handling it.Top 5 from Mark looks at the Top 5 worst dressed golfers of all time, inspired by Viktor Hovland. And the Masterclass this week is from Nick on spot lining, a masterclass requested by Mark.Talk Birdie To Me, new episodes weekly wherever you get your podcasts and don't forget to subscribe and you'll never miss an episode!By the way if you've got a friend who is into golf, we'd love you to share the podcast with them, and if you can rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts that would be great.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.

It was a pretty non eventful 3M Open for us with runaway leader Lee Hodges claiming a first PGA Tour title in impressive fashion by 7 shots to JT Poston after Postman tripled the 72nd hole after going straight at the par 5 for eagle resulting in it hitting a rock and into the water. This week we move onto a classical golfers for classical PGA oldies usually it's Sedgefield CC for the final regulation event on the PGA Tour season at the Wyndham Championship where the top 70 this year in a format change qualify for the Fedex Cup Playoffs instead of the normal 125. Several good players hover around or outside the top 70 including Justin Thomas, Shane Lowry and Billy Horschel who all need good weeks to reach the playoffs next week! I'm joined by @SportsGuyTy from Playing the Tips podcast (formerly Right Click, Print Money podcast) to offer his advice on how Sedgefield will play and the type of players that we target for this week! Enjoy

Brendan is back and he returns to an Andy podcasting not at 100 percent after eating too much at dinner. This episode is a ramble that covers all manner of important and inane golf topics, and several non-golf subjects like vacation, the show Shark Tank, and Burmese food. They begin with some thoughts on the Sticky Note Classic that quickly transitions to a Senior Open recap. Andy has had enough with the Paddy RC talk, Brendan has Woosie empathy, and they both have delight in the absolutely brutal conditions. At the 3M Open, they discuss JT's MC and Finau's T7, and how we weight each. There's great anger over FedExCup standings updates lagging. There's praise for Lee Hodges, and some clarification on all the strawman J.T. Poston catnip about his going for the green. On the KFT recap, they discuss the Barstool broadcast of the Chicago event. News hits on the Jay memo a bit more and the outrageous decision by Carlota Ciganda do DQ herself rather than take a slow play penalty.
Smylie is joined by Lee Hodges fresh off his seven-shot win at the 3M Open to discuss Alabama golf, his new green-reading system, and having an Auburn fan as a caddie. Smylie and Charlie discuss Jay Monahan's most recent memo to Tour pros, the Barbie and Oppenheimer craze, and the best (and worst) Harry Potter movies.
This week on the show co-hosts Adam Fonseca and Dan Hauser recap the 2023 3M Open where Lee Hodges capped off his first PGA TOUR victory in impressive fashion. Meanwhile, Justin Thomas misses ANOTHER cut in Minnesota, dropping further out of FedEx Cup Playoff contention. In the second half of the show, the guys discuss PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan's memo to players, including the TOUR's decision to NOT adhere to golf's governing bodies proposed golf ball rollback.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Toronto Blue Jays 5, Detroit Tigers 3 San Francisco Giants 4, Chicago Cubs 2 White Sox were off Blue Jays 5, Tigers 3 – Chapman 2 HRs, Kikuchi wins in return as Jays top Tigers 5-3 Matt Chapman hit two home runs, Yusei Kikuchi came off the injured list to pitch five solid innings and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Detroit Tigers 5-3 for their 10th victory in 12 games. Chapman hit a two-run homer off left-hander Tyler Alexander in the fourth and a solo shot off Angel De Jesus in the sixth, the ninth multi-homer game of his career and first this season. The home runs were his 17th and 18th of the year. Jonathan Schoop and Willi Castro hit solo home runs for the Tigers. Giants 4, Cubs 2 – Wood takes no-hitter into 7th, Giants beat Cubs to stop skid Alex Wood took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and the San Francisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 4-2 to stop a seven-game slide. Yermín Mercedes hit an early two-run single, and four Giants pitchers combined on a three-hitter to snap Chicago’s six-game winning streak. An umpire’s ruling that appeared to give the Cubs a break instead contributed to San Francisco’s three-run third. Wood allowed two hits in 6 2/3 innings, striking out two and walking two. His no-hit bid ended in the seventh on Ian Happ’s leadoff single. Two outs later, Patrick Wisdom belted his 18th homer of the season. Tonight Detroit (Garcia 0-0) at Toronto (Manoah 11-4), 7:07 p.m. WSJM/WCSY 6:45 Oakland (Kaprielian 1-5) at Chicago White Sox (Lynn 1-3), 8:10 p.m. Chicago Cubs (Stroman 2-5) at San Francisco (Cobb 3-4), 10:15 p.m. MLB – Unvaccinated Chafin misses Tigers’ series at Blue Jays The Detroit Tigers put unvaccinated left-hander Andrew Chafin on the restricted list before the opener of a four-game series in Toronto and selected right-hander Bryan Garcia from Triple-A Toledo as a substitute player. Detroit also added right-hander Derek Law and shortstop Zack Short to its taxi squad. Chafin signed a $13 million, two-year contract in March. He will lose $142,857 from his $6.5 million salary this season. MLB – Blue Jays announce $230 million stadium renovation plan The Blue Jays announced plans Thursday for a $230 million renovation of Rogers Centre, their downtown home since 1989 when it was knows as SkyDome, but said the change will not involve replacing the artificial turf surface with grass. The renovation, to be undertaken in stages over the next two or three winters, will begin with the team adding raised bullpens in left and right field, adjusting the dimensions and heights of the current outfield wall, and adapting the outfield seating areas to add bars and patios. Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro did not disclose the outfield dimensions and fence heights, saying they have not been finalized. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Las Vegas Aces at Indiana Fever, 7:00 p.m. New York Liberty at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. WNBA – Kremlin poker-faced on US swap offer to free Griner, Whelan The Kremlin has warned that a possible prisoner swap with the United States involving American basketball star Brittney Griner needs to be negotiated quietly without fanfare. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday that Washington had offered Russia a deal that would bring home Griner and another jailed American, Paul Whelan. Asked Thursday about the U.S. offer, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov replied that prisoner swaps are typically negotiated discreetly behind the scenes. He emphasized that “no agreements have been finalized” and refused to provide further details. Griner has been detained in Russia since inspectors at a Moscow airport found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage. NFL – Cardinals remove Kyler Murray’s independent-study addendum The Arizona Cardinals have removed an addendum to quarterback Kyler Murray’s $230.5 million, five-year contract that mandated at least four hours of “independent study” during game weeks. In a statement Thursday, the team said: “After seeing the distraction it created, we removed the addendum from the contract. It was clearly perceived in ways that were never intended. Our confidence in Kyler Murray is as high as it’s ever been and nothing demonstrates our belief in his ability to lead this team more than the commitment reflected in his contract.” Earlier in the day, Murray declared that there have been no “shortcuts” to success during his football career, no matter what provisions the Cardinals included in his new contract. NFL – QB Ryan challenges Colts to keep up with quick-paced tempo Matt Ryan has seen and done just about everything other than winning a Super Bowl in his 14-year NFL career. He’s been the league MVP. He’s won a conference title. He’s steadily climbed the league’s career passing charts. But now, for the first time since his rookie season, Ryan is settling into a whole new world. The Indianapolis Colts new quarterback is getting acclimated to a new playbook, new teammates, a new training camp facility and a new routine. NFL – Rodgers says Packers offense can grow from early adversity Aaron Rodgers says he expects the Green Bay Packers offense to face plenty of adversity during the preseason as it lines up against a defense that seems far more settled. The four-time MVP quarterback believes that could prove beneficial in the long run. Rodgers says that taking some lumps early is “going to build some character.” The two-time reigning MVP is in a much different situation than last year. He’s smoothed over his relationship with team management and is dealing with a new group of receivers now that All-Pro wideout Davante Adams is with the Las Vegas Raiders. Golf – PGA – Finau, Pendrith share Rocket Mortgage lead at 8-under 64 Tony Finau, coming off his third career victory on the PGA Tour, and Taylor Pendrith shared the first-round lead at 8-under 64 on Thursday in the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Former U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson, Michael Thompson, Cameron Champ, Lee Hodges and Matt Wallace were two shots back. Si Woo Kim and Kurt Kitayama, both ranked among the top 70 in the world, were in the pack at 67 at Detroit Golf Club. The leaderboard was filled with players who took advantage of favorable scoring conditions with morning tee times. In the afternoon, the wind picked up and the scores did as well. Finau rallied from a five-shot deficit with 11 holes left to win the 3M Open by three shots Sunday in Minnesota. Golf – Trump says Saudi-funded tour creates ‘gold rush’ for players Former President Donald Trump says the Saudi-funded LIV Golf circuit has created a “gold rush” for players. Trump played a round Thursday on his home course at Trump National Bedminster. This one was the LIV Golf Invitational pro-am. He played with Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau. Trump says what the Saudi-backed league is doing is good for golf because it gives players an alternative. It’s been a disruptor for more than the PGA Tour. Now the Ryder Cup is involved. Henrik Stenson signed with LIV and was stripped of his captaincy for Europe. Reports indicated Luke Donald will be replacing him. Nassar – FBI open to settling claims by gymnasts abused by Nassar The FBI has reached out to attorneys representing Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and other women who say they were sexually assaulted by Larry Nassar to begin settlement talks in the $1 billion claim they brought against the federal government. That’s according to three people familiar with the matter. The FBI’s general counsel contacted the lawyers for Olympic gold medalists Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney and dozens of other women on Wednesday. The people say the FBI’s attorneys told the lawyers for the women that they had received the federal tort claims and to say the agency was “interested” in a resolution, including discussions about a potential settlement.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Toronto Blue Jays 5, Detroit Tigers 3 San Francisco Giants 4, Chicago Cubs 2 White Sox were off Blue Jays 5, Tigers 3 – Chapman 2 HRs, Kikuchi wins in return as Jays top Tigers 5-3 Matt Chapman hit two home runs, Yusei Kikuchi came off the injured list to pitch five solid innings and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Detroit Tigers 5-3 for their 10th victory in 12 games. Chapman hit a two-run homer off left-hander Tyler Alexander in the fourth and a solo shot off Angel De Jesus in the sixth, the ninth multi-homer game of his career and first this season. The home runs were his 17th and 18th of the year. Jonathan Schoop and Willi Castro hit solo home runs for the Tigers. Giants 4, Cubs 2 – Wood takes no-hitter into 7th, Giants beat Cubs to stop skid Alex Wood took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and the San Francisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 4-2 to stop a seven-game slide. Yermín Mercedes hit an early two-run single, and four Giants pitchers combined on a three-hitter to snap Chicago’s six-game winning streak. An umpire’s ruling that appeared to give the Cubs a break instead contributed to San Francisco’s three-run third. Wood allowed two hits in 6 2/3 innings, striking out two and walking two. His no-hit bid ended in the seventh on Ian Happ’s leadoff single. Two outs later, Patrick Wisdom belted his 18th homer of the season. Tonight Detroit (Garcia 0-0) at Toronto (Manoah 11-4), 7:07 p.m. WSJM/WCSY 6:45 Oakland (Kaprielian 1-5) at Chicago White Sox (Lynn 1-3), 8:10 p.m. Chicago Cubs (Stroman 2-5) at San Francisco (Cobb 3-4), 10:15 p.m. MLB – Unvaccinated Chafin misses Tigers’ series at Blue Jays The Detroit Tigers put unvaccinated left-hander Andrew Chafin on the restricted list before the opener of a four-game series in Toronto and selected right-hander Bryan Garcia from Triple-A Toledo as a substitute player. Detroit also added right-hander Derek Law and shortstop Zack Short to its taxi squad. Chafin signed a $13 million, two-year contract in March. He will lose $142,857 from his $6.5 million salary this season. MLB – Blue Jays announce $230 million stadium renovation plan The Blue Jays announced plans Thursday for a $230 million renovation of Rogers Centre, their downtown home since 1989 when it was knows as SkyDome, but said the change will not involve replacing the artificial turf surface with grass. The renovation, to be undertaken in stages over the next two or three winters, will begin with the team adding raised bullpens in left and right field, adjusting the dimensions and heights of the current outfield wall, and adapting the outfield seating areas to add bars and patios. Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro did not disclose the outfield dimensions and fence heights, saying they have not been finalized. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Las Vegas Aces at Indiana Fever, 7:00 p.m. New York Liberty at Chicago Sky, 8:00 p.m. WNBA – Kremlin poker-faced on US swap offer to free Griner, Whelan The Kremlin has warned that a possible prisoner swap with the United States involving American basketball star Brittney Griner needs to be negotiated quietly without fanfare. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday that Washington had offered Russia a deal that would bring home Griner and another jailed American, Paul Whelan. Asked Thursday about the U.S. offer, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov replied that prisoner swaps are typically negotiated discreetly behind the scenes. He emphasized that “no agreements have been finalized” and refused to provide further details. Griner has been detained in Russia since inspectors at a Moscow airport found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage. NFL – Cardinals remove Kyler Murray’s independent-study addendum The Arizona Cardinals have removed an addendum to quarterback Kyler Murray’s $230.5 million, five-year contract that mandated at least four hours of “independent study” during game weeks. In a statement Thursday, the team said: “After seeing the distraction it created, we removed the addendum from the contract. It was clearly perceived in ways that were never intended. Our confidence in Kyler Murray is as high as it’s ever been and nothing demonstrates our belief in his ability to lead this team more than the commitment reflected in his contract.” Earlier in the day, Murray declared that there have been no “shortcuts” to success during his football career, no matter what provisions the Cardinals included in his new contract. NFL – QB Ryan challenges Colts to keep up with quick-paced tempo Matt Ryan has seen and done just about everything other than winning a Super Bowl in his 14-year NFL career. He’s been the league MVP. He’s won a conference title. He’s steadily climbed the league’s career passing charts. But now, for the first time since his rookie season, Ryan is settling into a whole new world. The Indianapolis Colts new quarterback is getting acclimated to a new playbook, new teammates, a new training camp facility and a new routine. NFL – Rodgers says Packers offense can grow from early adversity Aaron Rodgers says he expects the Green Bay Packers offense to face plenty of adversity during the preseason as it lines up against a defense that seems far more settled. The four-time MVP quarterback believes that could prove beneficial in the long run. Rodgers says that taking some lumps early is “going to build some character.” The two-time reigning MVP is in a much different situation than last year. He’s smoothed over his relationship with team management and is dealing with a new group of receivers now that All-Pro wideout Davante Adams is with the Las Vegas Raiders. Golf – PGA – Finau, Pendrith share Rocket Mortgage lead at 8-under 64 Tony Finau, coming off his third career victory on the PGA Tour, and Taylor Pendrith shared the first-round lead at 8-under 64 on Thursday in the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Former U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson, Michael Thompson, Cameron Champ, Lee Hodges and Matt Wallace were two shots back. Si Woo Kim and Kurt Kitayama, both ranked among the top 70 in the world, were in the pack at 67 at Detroit Golf Club. The leaderboard was filled with players who took advantage of favorable scoring conditions with morning tee times. In the afternoon, the wind picked up and the scores did as well. Finau rallied from a five-shot deficit with 11 holes left to win the 3M Open by three shots Sunday in Minnesota. Golf – Trump says Saudi-funded tour creates ‘gold rush’ for players Former President Donald Trump says the Saudi-funded LIV Golf circuit has created a “gold rush” for players. Trump played a round Thursday on his home course at Trump National Bedminster. This one was the LIV Golf Invitational pro-am. He played with Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau. Trump says what the Saudi-backed league is doing is good for golf because it gives players an alternative. It’s been a disruptor for more than the PGA Tour. Now the Ryder Cup is involved. Henrik Stenson signed with LIV and was stripped of his captaincy for Europe. Reports indicated Luke Donald will be replacing him. Nassar – FBI open to settling claims by gymnasts abused by Nassar The FBI has reached out to attorneys representing Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and other women who say they were sexually assaulted by Larry Nassar to begin settlement talks in the $1 billion claim they brought against the federal government. That’s according to three people familiar with the matter. The FBI’s general counsel contacted the lawyers for Olympic gold medalists Biles, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney and dozens of other women on Wednesday. The people say the FBI’s attorneys told the lawyers for the women that they had received the federal tort claims and to say the agency was “interested” in a resolution, including discussions about a potential settlement.
