Golf is a crazy and brutal game, even for the best in the world. Shane Lowry found that out this week at PGA National for the Cognizant Classic. With a three-shot lead on the 16th tee, he flared an iron into the water, which resulted in a double bogey. On the 17th tee shot he did it again, which allowed Nico Echavarria to take home the title. We will do a deep dive into the tournament and what exactly happened to Shane Lowry on this week's episode. It is Arnold Palmer Invitational week and we will be talking one of the best tournaments of the year on the PGA Tour at storied Bay Hill. Scottie Scheffler will once again be a major favorite for this event, which usually plays pretty difficult for tour players. McLaren racing is dipping their toes into the golf world with an announcement Monday that they will start making golf clubs.

Andy and Brendan! went LIVE on YouTube for a Victory Monday morning recording following a Ballfrogs win over Jupiter Links late Sunday night. Andy is buzzing now that the Frogs have locked up the number one seed in the TGL playoffs despite the best efforts of "Tom Sim" and Max Homa. This turned out to be a loaded weekend of pro golf with national opens across the globe and a Cognizant Classic that absolutely delivered. Shane Lowry found the water twice in "The Bear Trap," blowing a four-shot lead on the final three holes at PGA National. The Salty Boy, Nico Echavarria, came up with a birdie on the 17th to take the lead and eventually secure his third PGA Tour win. Andy and Brendan discuss Lowry's collapse and debate whether he'll find himself in another position to win on the PGA Tour any time soon. Lowry, who hasn't won a solo event in the U.S. since 2015, had a win probability of over 96% standing on the 16th tee before being the first player to hit it in the water on Sunday. Brendan gives him props for speaking to the media immediately after his round and sharing that he wanted to win in front of his daughter for the first time. Following an epic finish - and despite a poor setup at PGA National - Andy runs through the Tour's schedule and puts the Cognizant in a tier above many Signature Events and all three playoff venues this year. PJ shares an update on the yearlong "Brooks Koepka vs. Mules" contest after Koepka's first top ten finish of the season. Is the money deficit already too big for the Mules to make up? Andy and Brendan then run through results from the rest of the week, hitting on the South African Open, New Zealand Open, and the Argentina Open, where winners and top finishers earned a spot at Royal Birkdale later this year. In news, the USGA had a massive Saturday news dump in which they awarded the 2045(!!!) U.S. Open to Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio. Who knows if this podcast will exist in 19 years, but these two midwesterners are excited for the national championship to return to America's heartland. Things wrap up with some TGL chatter recapping the first overtime match of 2026 and plenty of Jason Kelce exposure on the Worldwide Leader in Sports.

On this Monday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams recaps a packed sports weekend before turning the page to golf, including a full look back at The Genesis Invitational and what it told us about where the game is headed.Gary starts with the moment that stole the weekend outside of golf, then rolls into the winners around the world and the headline story from Riviera. Jacob Bridgeman breaks through for his first PGA TOUR win, and Gary explains why his performance was so rare in the ShotLink era and why closing with a lead can be its own kind of pressure. From there, Gary digs into Scottie Scheffler's fight after an ugly start, the efficiency that makes him so dangerous even when he doesn't have his best stuff, and how Rory McIlroy's shot-making is starting to look like the kind of artistry that travels to Augusta and Shinnecock.Then, Billy Horschel joins the show ahead of TGL action with Atlanta Drive. Billy gives a real update on where his body is after surgery, what it's been like building endurance again, and why he feels he's trending in the right direction. He also talks about why the indoor, prime-time environment fits him, how the nerves in TGL compare to TOUR pressure, and what it means to be an entertainer while still showing real skill. Billy also gets into the urgency of the next couple of weeks, his mindset chasing opportunities like The Players and the Masters, and what he believes the PGA TOUR needs to protect as it evolves, especially when it comes to cuts, access, and creating real opportunity for members.After that, Michael Bamberger joins Gary for a wide-ranging conversation on golf's most relentless competitors, Scottie Scheffler's mindset and focus, and what separates the truly rare personalities at the top. Michael also shares the story behind the 40th anniversary re-release of his first book, including what's new in this edition and why those long relationships in golf still matter.Gary closes the show with thoughts on the LPGA's global start to the season and why it matters that the best players are winning early, even when the events are happening far from the U.S. viewing window. With the West Coast Swing now in the rearview, the PGA TOUR heads to Florida, and the shift in conditions and scoring resistance is about to get real.5 Clubs airs live on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (Channel 92). 0:00 Opening Thoughts 3:30 Recapping the Weekend in Golf 13:20 Billy Horschel 31:20 Michael Bamberger43:33 LPGA Thoughts

Brendan! is joined by an on-site Kevin Van Valkenburg for this Friday episode honoring the Genesis Invitational. KVV shares some scenes from the practice rounds at Riviera before the rain came in and made much of Thursday's first round a wash. It wasn't a wash for this Gambling Podcast, as Rory McIlroy and Jacob Bridgeman both share the clubhouse lead as of this recording. Brendan spent the morning watching along on PGA Tour Live and has plenty of takeaways from the broadcast, including a scoring average graphic that was completely devoid of content. PJ was assigned to watch the "Betcast" on Thursday and points out that there was plenty of Jon Rahm talk on this PGA Tour product despite Rahmbo riding Dumbo at Disneyland this week instead of teeing it up at Riv. Scottie Scheffler is not yet finished with his first round, but he struggled mightily on his front nine. Brendan and KVV recap what we've seen from Scottie so far, adding another poor Thursday to a stretch of many this year. Even with a great round from Rory and Scottie's tough stretch, the news of the day was made elsewhere. Following reports from Geoff Shackelford and Adam Schupak looking into the matter, the PGA of America announced that President Don Rea Jr. has been "reassigned to member-first priorities" for the rest of his term. Brendan reads the full statement and everyone wonders if this is truly the end from Don. There's also some introspection about how much of a role... podcasts... played in this decision. KVV breaks out the Lucas Glover impression at the very end of his chat with Brendan to celebrate the U.S. Open champ being named PAC Chairman. The last half hour of this episode is a reheat of a Flashback Friday from 2021, when Andy and Brendan remembered Ben Hogan's comeback (not to be compared to Anthony Kim's) and "Mr. Icicle."

"The Boys" are back in town for this Wednesday episode, joining Brendan to preview the PGA Tour's return to Riviera. Joseph starts out with a take regarding this week's event "honoring" the local community in the Palisades, setting the tone for this episode early. Brendan, Joseph, and PJ unpack Tiger Woods's pre-tournament press conference, in which he discussed his chances of returning to competitive golf in 2026, a potential Ryder Cup captaincy, and the PGA Tour schedule changes. It seems like Tiger may tee it up on the Champions Tour after all, with PJ already wanting to make travel arrangements for a few select stops later this year. Woods also gave some insight into the hard work he's been putting in on the 2027 PGA Tour schedule, alluding to the California swing being later in the summer, maybe as part of the playoffs. Joseph loves the idea of Tiger's mark on the game being a playoff schedule that he created, and Brendan thinks that the Genesis Invitational should be a "jumbo event" moving forward. PJ runs through his five favorite tee times for the first two rounds and also sets the scene for this week's Aon Swing 5 vs. Sponsor Exemption tracker, now a five-on-five fight for this week only! Joseph passes along Andy's 5 Guys to Monitor before highlighting a favorite tee time of his own. He also initially declines to make a One-and-Done pick before Brendan bullies him into it on air. Brendan has some sourced reporting from the Magical Kenya Open, sharing details about the caddie fees and "driving range" at this week's DP World Tour event. In news, Justin Thomas will return to pro golf next week in the SoFi Dome... no word yet on if he's playing outdoor golf as well. To round out the show, Joseph and Brendan preview the first-ever Fried Egg Golf Anonymous Survey, tiering the best players in the men's game.
