Joe Highsmith went from barely making the cut to his first PGA Tour win with an exemplary weekend at the Cognizant Classic to kick of the the "Florida Swing" at PGA National. Jake Knapp fired a sizzling 59 on Thursday to jump out to a lead but was not able to keep the good playing going through 72 holes as he and the rest of the field were passed by Highsmith on the weekend to grab the title. Luke Clanton made another PGA Tour cut and got his tour card through the PGA Tour University accelerated program. It has been a spectacular and unique rise for Clanton who has done it mostly by great play in PGA Tour tournaments. We even dare to raise the question about the number one amatuer in the world... Would Keegan Bradley think about making him a captains pick for the Ryder Cup this fall? With Angel Cabrera coming back to the Masters and a former Australian biker gang member qualifying for the Open Championship at Royal Portrush, we dig into some of the felonies committed during PGA Tour events.

Vi taler i dagens afsnit med en af den, nemlig Gustav Frimodt, der er nummer 7 på ranglisten.

This Wednesday episode begins with a question that seemed unfathomable two months ago: are the Bears better than the Packers? Then an unplanned segment, the Mid-Am Minute, takes place, with the microscope on an event overseas during a time when maybe it's never been better to be a Mid-Am. The Butterfield field is discussed, from the favorites to the press conference invitees to the unknowns. Brendan has questions about a completely indiscriminate plaque at the host venue, and there's excitement over the weather forecast. News hits on the great Champions Tour schedule release day, with 2023 loaded up with 28 events, 66 million in prizes, and the return of an event in Morocco. In contrast to that Champs Tour superfluity is the last segment on an article reporting some potential changes to PGA Tour University and the attempts (or half measures) to fast track more young stars to the Tour that could be susceptible to LIV poaching.

This is a somewhat different SGS episode focusing on a singular story, diving right into the eventful week in the continuing drama between the PGA Tour and the disruptor league, LIV Golf. Brendan and Andy begin with the Tour's denial of waiver requests to play the London event, and what that may have wrought on Tour in the immediate future, like this summer. Greg Norman's debacle of a week is dissected after some flippant rationalizations for horrific murders. They ponder who would have been a better choice to head up this Saudi effort, and whether it's not too late to find new leadership. There's ample criticism for LIV's bumbling efforts, but also for the Tour's response, especially as it relates to creating discipline on the PGA Tour University front. They close with a few thoughts on the likely legal battle that is coming and whether we're about to have the last “normal week” on the PGA Tour for the foreseeable future.
This year marks the inaugural PGA Tour University class that will have immediate access to the Korn Ferry Tour and Mackenzie Tour. Like with any new system there have been lots of questions, plenty of conflicting thoughts, and some incorrect information swirling, that may influence players decisions whether to turn pro or come back for one more year of college golf. We decided to go straight to the source. Senior Director at the PGA Tour and creator of the PGA Tour University, Brendan von Doehren, joins us to walk through the genesis of PGA Tour U, how the system works, and clarifies some of the questions and misconceptions we have been hearing on the ground. If you are a player, coach, or part of their inner circles you do not want to miss this episode. Episode Highlights(1:58) How was PGA Tour University created?(5:23) Who had input and was consulted?(8:42) Benefit to the players and the Tour?(11:32) Who is eligible in the rankings?(13:16) How do the rankings work?(14:00) What events count and why?(17:44) What access to Korn Ferry and other tours is available?(26:48) How much movement in the rankings is expected the last couple months?(31:23) How will the rankings look next year?(34:29) Ho will players in the rankings this year who come back, fit in to next year's rankings?

Samantha Marks and Whitney Haworth talk Solheim, pushing women's game forward, Ryder Cup, PGA Tour University, and what it's like being a PGA Tour contributor! Presented by OnCore Golf.
This punchy Wednesday episode begins with a celebration of a golf achievement the likes of which we will not see again, the “Chase for 83” ending on the Minor League Golf Tour. Andy and Brendan celebrate Sunny Abacoa's SEVENTH straight win down in the swamp to achieve even what Tiger could not. Then it's on to the schedule of the week, which is expertly crafted for this time of year. There's one main event, and it's primo coffee golf that will end before football in the states. It's also the event of the week, the BMW PGA Championship, at Ernie Els' best design, the former Harry Colt design, historic Wentworth. Three things to watch hits on the Ryder Cup race across the pond, a galaxy brain take on how the Race to Dubai has outmaneuvered the FedEx Cup, and the Baton Boy in a foreign land. There is a history lesson on the course architect of the venue on the Champions Tour. Notables for a few other lower tour events lead to uncontrollable laughter approximating the Andy North ringtone episode. There's a segment on Ryder Cup picks for the U.S. side -- who they want/expect/would make them most mad. They close with news of Will Zalatoris being eligible for Rookie of the Year and PGA Tour University getting a new title sponsor.
This Friday episode is late but it's a fairly evergreen ramble about the structure and shortcomings of professional golf, at multiple levels. Andy and Brendan begin first with the Women's PGA, where Lizette Salas is back on a leaderboard and speaking candidly about her recent struggles. There are also options on the board for ending the American drought. At the Travelers, they hit on the post-major hangover effect. They discuss Alex Cejka reprising 1953 Ben Hogan, missing a “major” and chance at the Social Security Slam because he had to play his home open on the Euro Tour. There's debate on some KFT “members” suggesting that PGA Tour University is insulting and that members should get priority over the college studs. News of the strict British Open regulations for the players, while allowing 32,000 fans in the gates, has provoked grumbling among the pros. Could we see some abstain from going? There's also further discussion on the Olympics, how Ponte Vedra has done it no favors, and how NBC, with rights to both, has to balance its precious Olympics priority with the precious FedExCup. Precision Pro Flashback Friday goes back to a past Women's LPGA Championship, when a fast-food joint put its thumb on the scale and demanded 51 years of history and regulations be thrown out the window.

This year marks the inaugural PGA Tour University class that will have immediate access to the Korn Ferry Tour and Mackenzie Tour.

In an abundance of rambles, I break down PGA Tour University, my takes on the first rankings + the most underrated player (hint hint, SEC), and how stoked I am about the GCAA (Golf Coaches Association of America) 11-event series and what it could mean in relation to PGA Tour University/World Amateur Golf Ranking.
