Chris McKee wraps up everything that happened at the Charles Schwab Challenge where Russell Henley won in a playoff. McKee then talks all things LIV Korea where Joaquin Niemann won to claim his record 8th LIV title and then the show closes discussing Bryson DeChambeau's future. Does he stay on LIV or return to the PGA Tour?

This First of the Month recording has everyone in a great mood off the jump, with Andy immediately taking a victory lap for a big weekend from Pete Crow-Armstrong against the Cardinals. Brendan quickly transitions things to Russell Henley's playoff win at the Charles Schwab Challenge, the sixth PGA Tour victory of his career. Henley birdied the final three holes in regulation to tie Eric Cole before making another on the sole playoff hole. Andy brings up some other six-time winners in an effort to contextualize Henley's career and his chances of winning a major championship. Brendan calls Henley a likely Presidents Cup lock despite believing the U.S. should look to build some younger stars ahead of Adare Manor. The two discuss Colonial's continued run as a challenging Tour stop and suggest that this should be the main Texas event on the new schedule. Andy and Brendan then run through results from the rest of the golf world, starting with yet another Joaquin Niemann win for LIV Golf. Despite the individual win for Niemann, the Crushers still took down the team title in Korea, aided by Bryson DeChambeau's use of Google Gemini to help fix his swing. Nobody can fathom any player other than Bryson needing to use AI in order to help figure out swing woes, but Andy thinks this may HELP his chances at Shinnecock. This episode wraps with a recap of the Men's NCAA Championships through Sunday, with the final individual round and the team match play still to come early this week.

Een dag eerder dan normaal en vers uit de baan hebben we allemaal wat lekkere zomer(avond)rondjes gelopen. De spelvorm bingo bango bongo geprobeerd, niet echt een succes. Wanneer beslis je of je rondje qualifying is, wanneer het geen officiële wedstrijd is? De PGA Tour is nog bezig tijdens onze uitzending. Op de DP World tour mooie dingen gezien van Luiten en Van Driel. Straka, Wiesberger en Steinlechner waren goed in eigen land op de mooie baan in Kitzbuhel, maar Kaneko wint het toernooi. De alternatieve prijs Red Bull Final 3 was voor Hoshino, hij mag lekker mee in een stuntvliegtuig, succes!LIV was in Busan in Korea op de Asiad Country Club. Het speelde moeilijk met smalle fairways en hoge rough en de grote jongens Bryson, DJ, Niemann en Gooch vochten om de overwinning. Rahm zat er zowaar een keer niet tussen en Niemann pakte zijn 8e overwinning. De Crushers wonnen als team.Shaun Norris wint in Japan, Besseling gedeeld 2e op de HotelPlanner tour, Dario Antonisse wint op de Pro Golf tour.In ons Jaarspel is het Super Sunday, we voorspellen voor het US Women's Open, LIV Andalucia, het KLM Open en The Memorial.Als je nog niemand hebt gekozen, geef het nog door, want dit is een dure week.Korte ronde: Tennis, Eindhoven bij de dames en heren landskampioen in de hoofdklasse, de leukste 3 podcasts over golf, minder?

When I read on GM Eugene Perelshteyn's blog that his amateur friend had signed up to compete against players like Hikaru Nakamura and Hans Niemann in the Naroditsky Memorial, I knew I had to hear this story. That friend is NM Mike Mahoney. Mike is a pharmacist by day and a devoted online blitz player by night. For Mike, chess is usually a way to unwind, not something he takes too seriously. But he couldn't pass up the chance to test himself in one of the strongest blitz tournaments the U.S. has ever seen.  Eugene will be mentoring Mike and traveling with him to Charlotte, and they both joined me to discuss: Why Mike decided to jump into such a stacked field How Eugene is preparing him for the challenge How Mike defines “success” in a tournament like this We also talk about Mike's unconventional path to becoming a National Master, starting relatively late, as well as some great stories from the Boston blitz scene. I'm excited to follow how this unfolds, and Eugene and Mike will be back after the tournament for a trip report. In the meantime, you can follow Mike's journey on Eugene's blog.  Be sure to check out the Perpetual Chess YouTube channel where Eugene goes over one of Mike's model games against the Caro-Kann.

Peter is met de selectie wezen trainen in Frankrijk, golfen lukt maar helaas nog geen volume op zijn stem dus hij is deze week nog niet terug. Paul, Martijn en Rogier speelde een oefenpotje op Wilnis tegen de mannen van Olympus H1 27 holes. Wilnis een speelse baan, maar met geprikte en gezande greens dit keer. Voor matchplay maakt dat natuurlijk niet veel uit, we spelen als team gelijk en het was weer een goede oefening.Er was geen DP World tour, want the Players stond op het programma. Een van onze favoriete toernooien en het stelde weer niet teleur. JT weer op niveau, Europeaanse Rydercuppers in contention: Bobby Mac, Fitzie, Aberg en Bridgeman weer T5. De spanning kwam zoals gebruikelijk op de 2e 9 op zondag waar Aberg het weggaf en Fitzpatrick en Young het toernooi ineens voor het grijpen hadden. Drie geweldige slotholes voor Cameron Young brachten hem de titel. Je hebt hem nog nooit zo blij gezien!LIV was in Singapore, putten op spiegels met bijna stimp 13. Westy haalde zijn beste LIV resultaat ooit, een derde plek met Billy Foster aan de tas. Niemann leek lang zijn titel te verdedigen, maar zakte toch weg. Bryson maakte een birdie maken op de par 5 18e hole om gelijk te komen met Richard T. Lee en won de playoff… tenminse, Richard Lee verloor m door een putje van nog geen 50cm te missen.Een tussenstand van ons jaarspel staat op Instagram, Joost Eerden staat ruim aan kop mede dankzij zijn voorspelling dat Cam Young The Players ging winnen. Komende week geen wedstrijd in ons spel, maar de week erna India op de DP World Tour.In de korte ronde: DP World tour in China, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Guus Lafeber, Brian Rolapp over tourschema 2027, meer LIV met de 4Aces en volgende week Zuid-Afrika en onze (vakantie)plannen voor komend weekend.

Ferd Niemann operates a real estate investment company focusing on mobile home parks. His podcast is: The Mobile Home Park Lawyer Podcast.(This episode originally aired on Feb. 23, 2021.)

Mein heutiger Gast ist Sina Niemann – Vertrieblerin mit einer klaren Haltung: lieber direkt, authentisch und auf Augenhöhe, als höflich drum herum und am Ende ohne Ergebnis. Sina nimmt uns mit in ihren Vertriebsalltag und erklärt, warum Erfolg für sie selten ein Glückstreffer ist. Statt darauf zu warten, dass „schon irgendwer anfragt“, arbeitet sie bewusst mit Touchpoints: Kontaktpunkte, die Aufmerksamkeit erzeugen, Gespräche anstoßen und Beziehungen stabil halten – ohne Sales-Theater, ohne künstliche Rollen.

In this episode, CII General Counsel Jeff Mahoney interviews Pat Niemann, Leader of EY Americas Center for Board Matters, on the results of a 2025 survey of corporate board members: What drives board effectiveness amid uncertainty.Pat also leads the EY Audit Committee Forum and previously managed Ernst & Young LLP's Los Angeles office and audit practice.

They say, “there's levels to this game,” but this episode's guest seemingly built a brand around that philosophy. Blake Niemann, the founder (and CEO) of LEVELS, didn't just launch a protein powder…he engineered a manual for anyone looking to build a CPG brand that lasts. So, what does it actually take to build a category-defining brand with zero outside capital? In this conversation, we examine the different “levels” of his business journey…from the scrappy early days of establishing its “us vs. them” brand identity on Amazon to solving the unsexy puzzle of finance and operations that wins in an omnichannel retail world, and the high-level strategic vision of turning a supplement brand into a true “dairy protein” platform. Also, we're talking through why the next decade of whey protein will be defined by cultural shifts like GLP-1, MAHA, and the necessity of market-wide affordability. Whether you're an operator scaling through trade marketing or a visionary looking to future-proof your business, this is the blueprint for anyone trying to level up.

On today's episode, Erik sits down with Joaquín Niemann—captain of LIV's Torque GC, two-time PGA Tour winner, and Chilean golf prodigy—to explore the game through a different kind of lens.They dig into Joaco's path from plastic clubs in Santiago to the world stage, what it felt like to walk away from the PGA Tour, and why he still dreams of playing for his country at the Presidents Cup. Along the way, they talk team golf, cultural identity, the music that shaped him, and the quiet moments when he felt lost in the game—and how he found his way back.The EAL Show is presented by Booking.com.

It was a thrilling weekend across the tours, full of grit, breakthroughs and standout play. On the PGA Tour, Ryan Fox outlasted the field in a four-hole playoff to win the RBC Canadian Open—proof that relentless effort can beat perfect technique. Jennifer Kupcho snapped a three-year drought with a birdie to win the LPGA's ShopRite Classic at –15. Austin Smotherman claimed the Korn Ferry's BMW Charity Pro-Am with a lights-out –25 finish, while Connor Syme finally broke through on the DP World Tour with a long-awaited win at the KLM Open. On the LIV stage, Joaquín Niemann fired a bogey-free 63 for his fourth win of the season, and Phil Mickelson delivered a vintage flop-shot birdie that reminded us all why Lefty is still magic.This Week's Improvement Pivot Point: Perfectly Imperfect.Ryan Fox's win is a reminder that swing aesthetics don't matter nearly as much as understanding your capabilities, controlling your ball flight, and grinding it out under pressure. Scott breaks down Fox's swing—why it works for him as a full-time player who's learned to manage its nuances, but why it's not one you'd want to replicate. The takeaway? Understand the root cause of your movement, and build a swing that works for you.

Andy is off in Scotland and calls in after a late night at the pub to join Brendan for this Monday morning recording. After some unplanned promo for Fried Egg Golf Club, this episode starts with a recognition of the world's best player, Joaquin Niemann, following his third win of the year on LIV. The two compare the three wins of Niemann and Rory McIlroy and wonder who the best player of 2025 truly is. From there, the conversation shifts to an extended Champs Tour Minute, as a power outage at the Zurich Classic allowed everyone to get some bonus coverage from Zinger and Papa on Golf Channel. PJ is overjoyed that the greater viewing public now sees his point about Zinger being kept in a studio as opposed to on the road watching Jerry Kelly outlast Ernie Els at TPC Sugarloaf. Andy and Brendan then move to the Chevron, won by Mao Saigo in a five-way playoff, the largest in LPGA history. Brendan points out the egregious backboarding opportunity available on the 18th hole and Andy shares some local reporting from The Woodlands about the lack of advertising for the event. On the PGA Tour, social media sensation Ben Griffin and NFL Draft pundit Andrew Novak teamed up for their first PGA Tour win(s) at the Zurich Classic, beating the Hojgaard twins following some interesting drops on the 72nd hole. This episode quickly runs through some news to wrap things up, including the latest from Michael Block as he looks to qualify for Quail Hollow.

Language is impossibly complicated. And yet, nearly everyone uses it with ease. Where does it come from? In this episode we look for clues to answer this question in the story of the world's newest language, how it arose, and what it tells us about what it means to be human. ReferencesBlunden, A.

Nikolaos Ntirlis is a Correspondence chess champion, and computer engineer who has become well known in the chess world for his vast opening expertise. Nikolaos is quite skilled at finding original opening ideas, and has grown popular through his books, and by highlighting new opening ideas on his Twitter/X account. The ideas Nikos suggests have often seen quick adoption by Grandmasters, and he has even seen moves he highlighted subsequently appear in the games of Hikaru Nakamura and Anish Girl. In fact, GM Giri wrote the Foreword to Nicolaos' newest book, the excellent  Reimagining 1. E4. The book offers new ideas for White across many defenses to 1. E4, and explains opening concepts clearly without bombarding you with opening theory. In our conversation, we discussed the origins of Nikolaos' opening enthusiasm, how best to use engines, as well as which defenses to 1.e4 were most challenging to combat theoretically. Nikolaos is also an accomplished chess trainer who hasworked with the national team of Denmark. In our conversation, he offered some helpful chess improvement advice with a philosophical bent. Lastly, we discussed some of  Nicolaos' other interests including correspondence chess, chess books, and martial arts. Timestamps of topics discussed are below.  0:02- What is the origin of Nikos' popular Twitter threads, where he suggests lines that have been used by GMs like Nakamura, Carlsen, and others? Mentioned: Nikolaos' X account here: https://x.com/NikolaosNtirlis/status/1852645135487558104 10:00- Was there any defense against 1. E4 where it was particularly challenging to find fresh ideas? 14:30- What rating range is this book best suited for?  16:00- Does Nikos agree that one should learn opening ideas, rather than openings?  Mentioned: Nikos' interview with Charlyze van Zyl for Forward Chess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyanVxu48lk 18:30- Patreon mailbag question: What did Nikos discover about an original line that Niemann played against Kramnik?  Mentioned Han Schut's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/hanschut Read the Twitter thread in question: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1841408942737420435.html 19:00- Who are Nikos' favorite opening theoreticians?  25:00- What is Nikos' advice for how amateurs should use engines?  32:00- Are there any underappreciated openings?  33:00- Nikos' overall chess improvement advice 34:00- Where did Nikos' love for openings start? Mentioned: GM Efim Geller  41:00-  Patreon mailbag question: How can one still win a game in correspondence chess?  48:00- What is Nikos' advice for remembering openings?  52:00- Does Nikos play any OTB?  56:00- What are Nikos' favorite books?  Mentioned: Mentioned: IM Willy Hendriks, IM Tibor Karolyi's Fischer Books  1:00- Thanks to Nikos for joining me!
