Gary Williams opens the show with a passionate reflection on the importance of storytelling in golf following the end of Sports Illustrated's dedicated golf coverage.

Gary also previews the Memorial Tournament, highlights NCAA Men's Golf Championship action, and shares thoughts on some of the game's brightest young stars.Brendon de Jonge, former PGA TOUR player and SiriusXM host, joins Gary to rank the best players in the world by tiers. The two debates where players like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg, and others belong in today's pecking order.

On this episode, I welcome two outstanding guests who know what it takes to compete, teach, and win at the very highest levels of the game. First up is our resident Director of Instruction, Tom Patri. We open up getting you some putting tips starting with the fundamentals like grip, set up, stance, ball position, and shaft lean. Staying with putting, we get into what's missing from Jordan Spieth's putting stroke that helped him rise to World No. 1. From there, Tom shares his thoughts on the PGA Championship, what we saw from Aaron Rai, and what we didn't see from Rory or Scottie. Then we transition to his stories of playing Shinnecock Hills, the site of this year's US Open, . Tom then weighs in on the current state of the PGA of America, what's gone wrong with their leadership in recent years, and a story about the time he met Tony Jacklin. Speaking of Tony Jacklin, he joins me next. Tony is a World Golf Hall of Famer, a 2 time major champion, and a four-time European Ryder Cup Captain. Tony reflects on Aaron Rai's win at the PGA, and Rai becoming the first Englishman to win the tournament in over a century. We then get into the details from his historic Open Championship victory, his 7 stroke victory in the US Open, captaining Europe to Ryder Cup success in the 1980s, and the unforgettable concession from Jack Nicklaus at the 1969 Ryder Cup that forever became known as “The Concession.” Tony shares incredible stories about competing against golf's greatest players, his thoughts on the state of the DP World Tour, his relationship with Nicklaus over the years, and the impact of fellow legends like Arnold Palmer and Seve Ballesteros on the game of golf. This episode is packed with golf history, PGA Tour insights, Ryder Cup memories, golf instruction, putting tips, mental game advice, and behind-the-scenes storytelling from two of the game's most respected voices. If you love hearing stories from golf legends, major championship history, Ryder Cup stories, PGA Tour commentary, and instruction that can help your game improve, this is an episode for you.

For 50 years, the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday has helped shape Greater Columbus into a world-class sports destination. In this episode of Yes, Columbus, Boxer and Sarah sit down with Jack Nicklaus II, president of Nicklaus Design, and veteran golf journalist Dave Shedloski to reflect on the tournament's legacy, evolution and impact. In this episode, hear stories about the tournament's earliest days to and unforgettable moments at Muirfield Village Golf Club. This conversation celebrates the traditions, people and experiences that continue to make the Memorial one of the most iconic events on the PGA TOUR.Jack William Nicklaus, II -Jack Nicklaus II followed in his father's footsteps in more than just his name. Following a successful collegiate career at the University of North Carolina, Jack II enjoyed competitive success first on the amateur circuit and then the professional circuits. Jack II not only has a passion for the game of golf, but as a former University of North Carolina team alum and professional golfer, Jack has a deep understanding of the commitment both collegiate and progressional athletes take on both physically and mentally.In the late 1980's Jack II decided on a career in golf course design, designing his first golf course in 1991. A leading force in Nicklaus Family Design, he serves as President of the firm and works as both a solo designer and in collaboration with his father.In 2000, Jack II was named in Golfweek's “40 Under 40,” a list of 40 individuals under the age of 40 from the golf industry that the magazine felt would “most likely shape the game – and the business of the game, for the next 10,20 or 30 years.” The same year, Jack 11 was accepted into the prestigious American Society of Golf Course Architects, of which his father is also a member.Jack II has designed and directed nearly 55 golf courses and communities, both nationally and internationally. He has received numerous accolades for his design work and many of his designs or co-designs have hosted touring professional events or high-profile amateur championships, including the Club at Twin Eagles and Heritage Course at Ibis Golf and Country Club. He is Chairman of Muirfield Village Golf Club and The Memorial Tournament. Recently he was elected a member of The Captains Club. As an active leader in the community, he has served on several Boards of Directors, including Meeder Financial, U.S. Army War College, WorldServe, The Benjamin School and Nicklaus Children's Healthcare Foundation.Located in South Florida, Jack II is the first of five children born to Jack and Barbara Nicklaus. He is married to Allison Nicklaus, and is a father of five: Jack III, Christie, Charlie, Casey and Will. He is most proud of his 5 children and 2 grandchildren.David Shedloski has been a sports journalist for more than 40 years and holds the distinction as the only writer in golf history to have co-written books with Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.A Cleveland native and 1984 graduate of Miami (Ohio) University, Shedloski worked in daily newspapers, covering golf, Ohio State football and Cincinnati Reds baseball among other subjects. In 1995 he turned his attention solely to golf, contributing to a number of outlets. Today he serves as a contributing editor to Golf Digest and as editorial director of The Memorial, the official magazine of the Memorial Tournament. He has covered more than 500 golf tournaments worldwide and is the recipient of 17 writing awards in golf.Shedloski's author credits begin with “Golden Twilight,” published in 2001, a critically acclaimed chronicle of Nicklaus' final championship season in 2000. He also co-wrote “Memories and Mementos” with Nicklaus in 2005, and in 2015 he helped Arnold Palmer write his final memoir, “A Life Well Played,” which debuted in October 2016 on The New York Times bestseller list. His ninth book will be published in time for the 50th anniversary of the Memorial Tournament, titled: "Memorial Memories: The History of the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide and Muirfield Village Golf Club."Shedloski lives in New Albany, Ohio, and is the father of two children, Alexander and Elizabeth.

SI golf writer and author of Tiger & Phil, Bob Harig's Tiger v. Jack, an examination of the greatest argument in golf--who was better--exploring the records, rivalries, statistics, and context of their illustrious careers, including the intangibles that made them both icons.When Jack Nicklaus stunningly won the 1986 Masters for his 18th major championship victory, it was a reminder of the greatness of a golfer who had done so much. The major title - six years after his last - brought into focus again the dominance of his career. At the time, nobody was close to him in major wins, and the idea of anyone getting within miles of Nicklaus' major record, let alone match or overtake him, seemed, frankly, preposterous.And yet, there was a kid who was just 10 years old when Nicklaus won that last major. Tiger Woods was already thinking about Jack. He would put his accomplishments on a wall by age and try to beat those feats. Eventually, he put Nicklaus' 18 major titles in his sights, and for the better part of a decade was on pace to match or exceed the record, a remarkable thought itself. The fact that he came up short doesn't diminish the chase.In Tiger v. Jack, Bob Harig explores and compares the two legends in a lively examination of the greatest argument in golf--who was better, Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods--exploring the records, rivalries, statistics, and context of their illustrious careers, including the intangibles that made them both icons. They both had their moments of brilliance and dominance. What we've seen from Nicklaus and Woods is likely to never be duplicated, all the more reason to celebrate it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

A bonus Mini episode today. Wolfpacker George wrote to us about a comment made by Nick recently where he said something along the lines of Johnny Miller would sometimes oversimplify his putts, he sent a clip to a video which we'd seen before but it is well worth another look.Even if you're listening, rather than watching, you'll get the idea. Nick and Mark discuss the video which involves Johnny and the great Jack Nicklaus which shows say the boys just how 'cool' Jack was.

On this episode of Next on the Tee, I'm joined by two incredible guests who bring both legendary perspective and modern innovation to the game. First up is my annual Masters week conversation with the great Gary Player. Mr. Player shares insights from his three Masters victories, how Mr. Palmer lost his focus and opened the door to Mr. Player's win in 1961, perhaps the greatest shot I've ever seen leading this win in '74, and how he nearly shot 27 on the back 9 in '78, leading to his 3rd Green Jacket. You'll also hear what it takes to develop a true championship mindset, how discipline, fitness, and preparation fueled his success and longevity in the game, and why his book Don't Choke should be required reading for every junior player. We finish talking about what today's players can learn from the legends, and why growing the game and giving back remain so important to him. Then, I'm joined by world-renowned golf course designer Agustin Piza, who takes us inside the art and strategy of course design. Augie explains what separates a good course from a great one, how architecture influences shot-making and decision-making, and how modern design is evolving for today's golfer. He also shares stories from his work around the world, with Nicklaus Construction, Tom Fazio, and Gary Player, plus his involvement in designing holes for TGL. You'll also hear how Alister MacKenzie redesigned bunkers for the British military to help disguise where their soldiers were set up during World War 1. Augie is a brilliant designer who thinks outside the box, has a fresh take, and an amazing artistic eye. His passion for design and the game shines throughout our conversation. You're really going to enjoy the segment. This episode is a perfect blend of legendary wisdom and forward-thinking innovation—one that will not only entertain you but might just change the way you see and play the game. #golf #golfpodcast #golfinstruction #golftips #golfstories #golflegends #garyplayer #masters #themasters #golfmindset #golftraining #golfcourse #golfcoursedesign #golfarchitecture #agustinpiza #jacknicklaus #tomfazio #tglgolf #pgatour #championshipgolf #golfstrategy #improveyourgolf #nextonthetee

Hi folks… welcome in to this bonus edition of Next on the Tee—where golf legends live and your game gets better. This week, I'm joined by two incredible guests from different sides of the game. First, Hall of Fame instructor Jim McLean shares insights from his legendary career, including his recent induction into the PGA of America Hall of Fame, stories from his college days at the University of Houston where he teamed with other golf legends and great friend of the show John Mahaffey, plus Bruce Lietzke, Bobby Watkins, Bill Rodgers, and Tom Jenkins to dominate and win the 1970 National Championship. He writes all about it in his new book, "The Houston Dynasty, Tales From College Golf's Greatest Team," which is available now on Amazon.com. From there, I get his take on technology vs. feel in modern golf instruction, we dive into his work developing players around the world, like James Nicholas, who recently won on the Korn Ferry Tour, and what it was like opening his golf school in South Korea. Then, golf course designer Michael Riley joins me to talk about building world-class courses with the Nicklaus Design team, his award-winning work at Reunion Golf Club, and how great courses are created from vision to reality. You'll also hear stories about working with Jack Nicklaus, taking long plane rides on Air Bear with him, and the competitive spirit of the “Big 3” in course design. From there, we get into the work he's doing designing backyard putting greens for Southwest Greens. Ever dreamed of having a putting green in your backyard? I know I have. Michael can make that dream come true... If you're looking for golf tips, instruction insights, course design secrets, and great golf stories, this episode has it all.

pWotD Episode 3252: Tiger Woods Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 217,158 views on Saturday, 28 March 2026 our article of the day is Tiger Woods.Eldrick Tont "Tiger" Woods (born December 30, 1975) is an American professional golfer. He is tied for first in PGA Tour wins, ranks second in men's major championships, and holds numerous golf records. Woods is widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers of all time and is one of the most famous athletes in modern history. He is an inductee of the World Golf Hall of Fame.Following an outstanding junior, college, and amateur golf career, Woods turned professional in 1996 at the age of 20. By the end of April 1997, he had won three PGA Tour events in addition to his first major, the 1997 Masters, which he won by 12 strokes in a record-breaking performance. He reached number one in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time in June 1997, less than a year after turning pro. Throughout the first decade of the 21st century, Woods was the dominant force in golf. He was the top-ranked golfer in the world from August 1999 to September 2004 (264 consecutive weeks) and again from June 2005 to October 2010 (281 consecutive weeks). The next decade of Woods's career was marked by comebacks from personal problems and injuries. He took a self-imposed hiatus from professional golf from December 2009 to early April 2010 in an attempt to resolve marital issues. He fell to number 58 in the world rankings in November 2011 before ascending again to the number-one ranking between March 2013 and May 2014. However, injuries led him to undergo four back surgeries between 2014 and 2017. Woods competed in only one tournament between August 2015 and January 2018, and he dropped off the list of the world's top 1,000 golfers. On his return to regular competition he won his first tournament in five years at the Tour Championship in September 2018 and his first major in 11 years at the 2019 Masters.Woods holds numerous golf records. He has been the number one player in the world for the most consecutive weeks and for the total number of weeks of any golfer in history. He has been awarded PGA Player of the Year a record 11 times Woods has the record of leading the money list in ten different seasons. He has won 15 professional major golf championships (trailing only Jack Nicklaus, who leads with 18) and 82 PGA Tour events (tied for first all time with Sam Snead)..Woods is one of six men (Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Rory McIlroy) players to achieve the career Grand Slam, and the youngest to do so. He is also the second golfer out of two (after Nicklaus) to achieve a career Grand Slam three times. He was also part of the American winning team for the 1999 Ryder Cup. In May 2019, Woods was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Trump, the fourth golfer to receive the honor.On February 23, 2021, Woods was hospitalized after a single-car collision and underwent emergency surgery to repair compound fractures sustained in his right leg in addition to a shattered ankle. In an interview with Golf Digest in November 2021, Woods indicated that his full-time career as a professional golfer was over, although he would continue to play "a few events per year". For the first time since the first car crash, he returned to the PGA Tour at the 2022 Masters. Then in 2026, Woods was involved in another car crash, this time charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and with causing damage to property. As of June 2025, his net worth is estimated at US$1.3 billion, according to Forbes.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:58 UTC on Sunday, 29 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Tiger Woods on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.
Sign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf hereI am giving these away for free at the moment, originally I designed the course to sell, but I want to reward my followers/listeners with a free product!This week on the Your Golf Performance Podcast, we sit down with long-time Head Professional at Kinloch Golf Club in Lake Taupō, Tom Long. Tom's journey through the game is one that so many golfers can relate to — chasing the dream on the UK mini tours, competing on the EuroPro circuit, and coming agonisingly close to qualifying for The Open Championship not once, but twice. We dive into the realities of life as a touring professional outside the spotlight — the financial pressures, the grind of travel, and what it really takes to try and make it at the highest level. Tom also shares some incredible stories from his career, including writing for Golfpunk magazine while pursuing his playing dream, landing starts on the Challenge Tour, and even taking his golf to the Caribbean working onboard a cruise ship teaching and playing with guests. Now based in New Zealand as the Head Professional at Kinloch — a Jack Nicklaus-designed course — Tom reflects on his transition away from playing, what he's learned from being around world-class players (including Nicklaus himself), and what truly separates the best in the world from the rest. We also dive into course strategy, and practical tips that everyday golfers can take straight to the course.

Dr. Bob shares updates on the tremendous success his students continue to have and walks us through how to get into the right mindset—staying persistent, pushing through negativity, and learning how to get to “Yes” when self-doubt tells us "no". Then we get another opportunity to visit with our good friend 17x winner Mark Calcavecchia. Calc shares his thoughts on the possibility of the PGA Tour reducing the number of tournaments starting in 2027, tells a terrific story about sitting with Jack Wulcotte while the legendary McGregor persimmon woods were being made for Mr. Nicklaus, explains why you won't see him riding in an autonomous vehicle, and weighs in on whether he agrees with Jack Nicklaus's belief that winning a major was sometimes easier than winning a regular Tour event. It's a fun, thoughtful, and story-filled close to the show. Thanks so much for pressing play and spending part of your week with me—I'm truly grateful you're here.
Send us a textA teenager shoots 60 on the Nicklaus course and suddenly the game looks younger, faster, and braver. We open with Blades Brown's breakout and the ripple effect of a prodigy who can go low under cameras and crowds, then zoom out to what early crowning means in a sport that remembers both fireworks and flameouts. It's a celebration and a caution: talent draws a spotlight, and pressure keeps the bulb hot.That theme of pressure runs straight into the psychology of mulligans. On the first tee, swagger meets physics, and sometimes the shaft meets a tree. We unpack why golfers love do-overs, how self-handicapping protects the ego, and why charity mulligans sell more hope than strokes. Then we take the idea off-course: the text you wish you unsent, the meeting you dreaded, the decision you delayed. Momentum comes from action, not perfection, which is why Mel Robbins' 5-4-3-2-1 rule becomes a practical tool. Count down, move, and stop negotiating with the couch. If it must be done eventually, do it now.From there, the stakes scale up. College football's NIL era and the transfer portal have scrambled the map, letting new contenders rise fast and forcing legacy programs to adapt. We break down why playoffs feel different, how peak performance compresses into inches, and what we learn from athletes who execute when the clock refuses to wait. Finally, we turn to power, process, and trust around ICE actions and media narratives—because rules only matter if evidence and accountability keep them honest. Sports teach us to accept shared standards; civic life demands the same, or the game doesn't feel fair.Hit play for a ride from fairways to front pages, from do-overs to doing the hard thing. If this spoke to you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review with one action you'll start in 5-4-3-2-1.Spotify Apple podcastsAmazon Music all other streaming services

The number one thing I get asked when I share about memorizing the catechism is "Wait... I didn't know you were Catholic." Trying to explain that there are many kinds of catechisms and we use a Protestant one leaves even more questions. That's sad to me because teaching my kids the catechism has become one of the most formative faith practices I've had. Today I'm talking to Leah Nicklaus. She is a fellow mom of only boys who homeschools in the classical/Charlotte Mason method. She has hundreds of gospel-centered book recommendations and resources! I've come to love chatting with her because we share so much in common, including how valuable we find the catechism to be. -How has catechism helped you and your family? -When did you first discover the catechism? How would you define it? -Which catechism do you like best? -How do you include it in other discipleship practices? What does discipleship look like in your family? -Have you found the catechism to help your faith? -What are other family discipleship practices that work for you?
We saw some great audio and vision of Johnny Miller and Jack Nicklaus this week talking about Scottie Scheffler, and Nick saw some of Scottie talking about playing Tiger. We were all chatting about it, and thought, let's smack out a few thoughts as a bonus pod. As the great poet Hilary Duff said....why not?We start though with a couple of questions. Nick and Mark become medical experts* when wolfpacker asks about his tennis elbow. Hadn't realised that we were qualified to give medical advice, but hey there you go. Tom from Arizona has messaged through with some encouragement for Nick to consider the Champions Tour.And then we get to a message from George, who sent through a clip of Johnny Miller and Jack Nicklaus chatting about Scottie, which we have a look at and discuss.Followed by a further clip that Nick saw this week of Scottie talking about what he learned from playing against Tiger Woods.A short bonus pod to wrap the week!*not actual medical experts.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.

Nobody knows Oakmont like Bob Ford. From living off the 18th green to becoming the last club pro to qualify for a U.S. Open at his home course, Ford has been part of American championship golf for more than five decades—and now serves as the tournament's starter. On this episode of the TGJ Podcast, he joins Tom Coyne to preview the 2025 U.S. Open and reflect on a career that stretches from furrowed bunkers in the '70s to the first tee in 2025. Ford shares stories of tanking to avoid breaking Arnold Palmer's course record, making more money in the U.S. Open than the champion, navigating the politics of the course's tree removal and what it's like to announce names with the world listening.

ABOUT TOGETHER WE ROARED Steve Williams, arguably the greatest caddie in golf history, teams up with renowned golf journalist Evin Priest to give his definitive account of his 12-year partnership with the legendary Tiger Woods, sharing personal, never-before-told moments of their friendship on and off the course. When Tiger Woods went on an extraordinary majors run between 1999 and 2008, one man stood at his side: his caddie Steve Williams. Together Steve and Tiger dominated the PGA Tour and won an astonishing 13 major championships, their sights set on breaking Jack Nicklaus's record 18 majors. Before they could overtake Nicklaus, however, their partnership ended abruptly, and a 12-year period without talking began. Years later, the two reconnected. Steve, with PGA Tour journalist Evin Priest, reflects fondly on his years as Tiger's caddie and their relentless pursuit of greatness. He revisits all their best moments, from Tiger's iconic shot on the 16th hole at the 2005 Masters to the famed Tiger Slam of 2000 and 2001, to his against-the-odds victory on a broken leg at the 2008 US Open. Steve goes behind the scenes of their on-course success and shows their friendship off the course, like Tiger caddying for Steve on his wedding day and Tiger giving a heartfelt best man speech. Steve also shares fascinating, never-before-seen photos and ephemera. Together We Roared offers an inside look at what it is like to ride alongside greatness and is a heartfelt ode to the friendship that produced one of the winningest duos in golf history. ABOUT STEVE WILLIAMS Steve Williams is widely regarded as one of the greatest caddies in golf history. Originally from New Zealand, he has carried the clubs for Peter Thomson, Greg Norman, Ian Baker-Finch, Ray Floyd, Adam Scott, and Tiger Woods. During his time with Woods, the golfer won more than 80 tournaments worldwide, including 13 major championships. In 2014, Steve was inducted into the Caddie Hall of Fame by the Western Golf Association.Get the book, Together We Roared: Alongside Tiger for His Epic Twelve-Year, Thirteen-Majors Run:https://a.co/d/3GvjDmfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.
