Andy and Brendan are LIVE outside TPC Sawgrass at The Players Championship and ready to review a full day of scuttlebutt, course scouting, and player assessments. They begin with some notes on a Sawgrass setup looking like an attempt to push the pros around in a major-like fashion, supporting the campaign to make this tournament a “major.” Then they discuss Five Guys to Monitor, and not monitor with their worst tee times of the first two days (along with some of their favorites). The also preview what Brian Rolapp might say in his first big address at his first Players, and how few people on site seem to know precisely what is coming but it is the most-discussed subject so far. Will we get a scarcity schedule? Will we get a mule purge? Are the players re-asserting their control over the new regime and Tour structure? Then they hit on some storylines no one is talking about this week, including the LIV Singapore Champions dinner. Finally, they bring in the boys, PJ Clark and Joseph LaMagna, and offer some further notes from the ground before closing with their official picks to win.

Andy and Brendan are just about ready to head down to Ponte Vedra for a "major" March event, but we've already missed out on one Players tradition! Andy can't believe that the yearly TPC Sawgrass arrival videos did not make it into Sunday's Arnold Palmer Invitational broadcast. NBC couldn't cut away from a duel between Daniel Berger and Akshay Bhatia on the back nine that ended with Akshay's third playoff win on the PGA Tour. The two break down Bhatia's comeback win and standing in the game as one of the premier players under the age of 25. The constant comparisons between Rickie Fowler and Arnold Palmer and some complaints from Justin Thomas regarding the setup at Bay Hill also feature prominently in this Arnold Palmer Invitational recap. The Players DID release their featured groups on Sunday afternoon, leaving a spot for an injured(?) Rory McIlroy and a struggling Justin Thomas to be on non-stop coverage for the first two rounds. Andy's "Event of the Week," the Puerto Rico Open, was "must see TV" with a leaderboard full of young talent including John Daly II, Blades Brown, and winner Ricky Castillo. Patrick Reed notched another DP World Tour top 10, but could not stop the blaze of Dan Bradbury at the Joburg Open. Brendan then shifts the conversation to Jon Rahm's win at LIV Hong Kong, his first individual win since 2024. Neither Brendan nor Andy are moved much by this win for Rahm and point out that maybe playing a LIV schedule is not the best preparation for a major championship, unlike the test presented by Bay Hill this week. Lastly on results, Zach Johnson is one-for-one in his Champs Tour career, taking down the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational! Sorry to all Ben Crane bettors, as he finished outside of the top 30 in his Senior Tour debut. This Gambling Podcast regrets the error. Check back on Tuesday as Andy and Brendan go live(?) to preview the 2026 Players Championship! Thank you to Optum for their support of our Players Championship coverage.

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after a busy week of action on the PDC ProTour! The boys start off the show with a look back at the Poland Darts Open, the first PDC European Tour event to be held in Poland, and discuss how Luke Littler's title-winning campaign in Krakow compares to the best ever in European Tour history. Aden Kirk (20:02) joins the show ahead of making his UK Open return in Minehead next weekend. The former PDC tour card holder looks back on his career in the game so far, from bursting onto the scene at the 2014 UK Open and beating Phil Taylor on his TV debut to then taking some time away from the sport to start a family, winning on the Challenge Tour in 2024, becoming a children's book author and winning through the PDC In The Community Qualifiers in Alfreton to secure a third appearance in The FA Cup of Darts next week. Alex and Burton continue their review of the last seven days with a look back at this week's Players Championship double header in Leicester, which saw Ross Smith and Gerwyn Price win the titles, Andrew Gilding make a final and Beau Greaves throw the first nine-dart leg by a female player on the PDC ProTour. James Beeton (53:57) calls in ahead of his UK Open debut in Minehead next week. The recently-crowned Scottish Open champion reflects on the last few years on the oche, from qualifying for Lakeside for the first time in 2024 and winning his first senior WDF title at the Denmark Open to having his best year to date on the Development Tour in 2025, qualifying for the UK Open for the first time and rising up the ranks in the WDF and making the quarter-finals at Lakeside last year. The boys finish up the show with a look back at the 2026 PDC Development Tour opening weekend in Leicester and pick out the players who caught their eye, before discussing Mitchell Lawrie becoming the youngest WDF #1 at just 15 years and 110 days old and whether that record will ever be broken.

Zhao Xintong hat nach dem World Grand Prix auch die Players Championship gewonnen und damit auch das zweite Turnier der Players Series für sich entschieden hat. Im Finale des Turniers in Telford hielt der chinesische Weltmeister beim 10:7 John Higgins auf Distanz.

Dabei gab es im Viertelfinale teilweise sehr verrückte Frames, darunter ein irrer letzter Frame zwischen Mark Allen und Mark Selby und ein Frame, den Williams gegen Trump trotz noch 83 Punkten auf dem Tisch aufgegeben hat. Zhao zeigte hochklassiges Breakbuilding bei seinem Sieg gegen Shaun Murphy.

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after the latest Players Championship double header in Wigan! The boys start off the show with a look back at this week's ProTour action which saw Chris Dobey and Luke Humphries win their first titles of the season. New PDC tour card holder Carl Sneyd (19:05) joins the show ahead of making his European Tour debut in Krakow this weekend. 'Bomber' chats through his journey in darts so far, from calling time on his rugby league playing days and picking up darts, rising through the ranks at a local level and then a breakthrough title on the Challenge Tour last year, which saw him earn multiple call ups to the PDC ProTour as a top-up player, before securing his first-ever PDC tour card at UK Q-School last month. New PDC referee Owen Binks (56:13) calls in ahead of his PDC European Tour debut as a referee at the Poland Darts Open this weekend. Owen reflects on the last few years, from how a phone call from the legendary referee George Noble led to him becoming a regular referee on the MODUS Super Series, to learning how to be a spotter and earning a call up to spot for Sky Sports, and then taking on a new role as a PDC referee on stage this year following George's retirement last month.

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode of your go-to darts podcast after the first PDC ProTour events of 2026! The boys start the show with a brand-new game as Burton attempts to predict the quarter-final results of this week's Premier League night in Antwerp the day after with no prior knowledge of the results! Alex and Burton then take a look back at this week's Players Championship double-header in Germany and focus on the two title winners James Wade and Wessel Nijman. New PDC tour card holder Samuel Price (24:44) joins the show to look back on a dramatic UK Q-School, which saw him secure a tour card on the final day as one of the top-up players from the First Stage Order of Merit. Samuel talks through his time in the game so far, from how he first got introduced to darts and then taking a break after suffering with dartitis, to making a comeback during lockdown, the influence of the ADC and UKDA in improving his game and a memorable start to 2026 that saw him become a PDC tour card holder for the first time. Alex and Burton continue their review of the last week in darts and look back on the Dutch Open, which saw Germany's Paul Krohne and home favourite Priscilla Steenbergen win the two main titles in Assen. The newly crowned Junior World Masters champion Kaya Baysal (1:07:18) calls in to reflect on his landmark win in Milton Keynes last month. The teenager looks back on a whirlwind last 12 months which saw him make history as the youngest winner of a WDF senior title in Hungary, breaking Luke Littler's record, play in youth events on the Lakeside and Alexandra Palace stages, and then defeat Mitchell Lawrie in the final of the inaugural Junior World Masters on the Arena MK stage just a few weeks ago.

Golf Writer Bob Harig joins Game On! How does Bob feel about Charlie Woods future in Golf and his commitment to FSU? Is it even fair to compare Charlie to Tiger? Should the Players Championship become a Major, and how does a tour event become a Major?

Raymond has written in and he was caddying that day, and remembers it very clearly, he runs through what he was seeing on the day.

On this Tuesday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams reacts to the PGA TOUR's latest push positioning THE PLAYERS Championship as a Major, including Brandel Chamblee's headline-making stance that THE PLAYERS “stands alone” and is the best Major. Gary breaks down why the “Fifth Major” conversation keeps resurfacing, why Major history is more murky than people realize, and why retroactively awarding Major status would open an impossible can of worms.Brendan Porath of Fried Egg Golf joins from Chicago to talk about Chris Gotterup's rise and what makes his game feel sustainable. Brendan explains why Gotterup's wins have come on demanding stages, why Scottie Scheffler's week to week persistence is so compelling, and how the PGA TOUR's Signature Event pathways like the Next 10 and Swing 5 help shape fields. They also debate sponsor exemptions, field size, and what would make the system feel more merit based.Also from Fried Egg Golf, Kevin Van Valkenburg joins next to continue THE PLAYERS Championship Major discussion and how the PGA TOUR is going on offense with its messaging. Kevin digs into how “Major” status has shifted historically, why the TOUR wants more ownership of golf's biggest stages, and what a defining 2026 accomplishment could look like for Rory McIlroy. He also shares a thoughtful angle on Scottie Scheffler's balance and mentality, and what Tiger Woods' future impact could be as the PGA TOUR evolves.Gary closes the show with a quick historical "what if" involving Augusta National and the USGA, and why The PLAYERS conversation will only get louder as THE PLAYERS week approaches.Subscribe for more from 5 Clubs on Golf Channel and PGA TOUR Radio.0:00 Opening Thoughts13:54 Brendon Porath 33:07 Kevin Van Valkenburg 43:20 Final Thoughts
We chat with PGA Tour winner Maverick McNealy, who is one of the favorites to win this week's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Plus, the WMPO “prank” that took the internet by storm and an old Players Championship debate is reignited. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Andy and Brendan planned to go LIVE on YouTube as part of "Golf's Favorite Pregame Show," but Hideki Matusyama had other plans. After a few too many wayward drives, Matsuyama could not make this a Victory Monday for Boston and coughed up the WM Phoenix Open to Chris Gotterup midway through the first quarter of the Super Bowl. Andy and Brendan recap a jam-packed week in the desert, hitting on Scottie Scheffler's t3 finish, Hideki's driver woes, and Chris Gotterup's continued ascension into the game's top tier. Patrick Reed could be the only player hotter than Gotterup right now, remaining undefeated in regulation in his last three starts with a win in Qatar. He is all but guaranteed a PGA Tour card through the DP World Tour now, but Brendan doubts his "lifelong goal to win the Order of Merit" is a real thing. Elvis Smylie immediately paid dividends for Rippers GC, staring down Jon Rahm in Riyadh for a win in his LIV debut. The two then run through results from the rest of the world and a bit of news before unpacking Brandel Chamblee's latest masterpiece of a take. Brandel made waves by suggesting that The Players Championship is ABOVE the four majors in stature and should absolutely be qualified as a major championship moving forward. Andy and Brendan are aghast at this statement and share some unsubstantiated rumors suggesting that the current PGA Tour membership does not share Brandel's personal opinion. Andy then previews Thursday night's live show in Chicago by reading some internet information about the event. Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12! We'll be hanging out at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of Q&A, Champs Tour Minute, and plenty of Bears chatter.

The police siren is in use for this Friday episode following a Thursday 73 from Scottie Scheffler that left him visibly angry on PGA Tour Live! Andy and Brendan discuss an uncharacteristic over-par round from the World No. 1, as well as Brooks Koepka's tough day at a course he's won at in the past. Not everyone is on the struggle bus: Chris Gotterup has the first round lead with fellow young stars Pierceson Coody, Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, and both Højgaards on his heels. In other PGA Tour news, they are once again starting up the "fifth major" debate around The Players Championship with a new promo that says "March Is Going To Be Major." Andy is ready for this weekend's Super Bowl after a week of hype in the Bay Area, but there's a brief preview of some events preceding next week's live show in Chicago. Somehow, this conversation ends with PJ challenging professional athletes to play him for an SGS season of "Pros vs. Joes." Patrick Reed could use someone to challenge him on the DP World Tour as he's once again right in the mix in Qatar. Brendan and Andy suggest any number of Euro stalwarts that could potentially become the "P Stopper" but it remains to be seen if anyone will step up. While Brooks is struggling in Phoenix, Smash GC is winning the team contest at LIV Riyadh, with some wondering if Talor "Sam Presti" Gooch has turned things around for good. The back half of this episode is dedicated to the PGA of America hiring Terry Clark as its new CEO, with Andy and Brendan both highlighting areas of need for the governing body now that it is under new leadership.

10:30am - Zach Jones and Derek Kramer do their Primetime Players after Championship Weekend
Playing in a huge invitational poker cash game during the Triton Poker Series Montenegro, Dan ‘Jungleman' Cates and Tan Xuan get involved in a massive pot. But has he lost his mind in this $1,500,000 pot? Xuan must decide whether to unload the clip with a triple barrel bluff. The problem is that Cates holds the stone cold nuts. Will Xuan make the wrong decision and punt it off into Cates, or will he give up on the bluff and save himself almost $750,000? When playing poker tournaments or cash games, it is important to protect your calling range. This means that when you call a bet, raise, or check-raise, your range should not only consist of draws or medium-strength hands. You should occasionally have very strong hands, including the nuts, in your calling range. By doing this, you make it much harder for your opponents to exploit you, as they cannot be sure whether your call represents a draw, a marginal hand, or a monster. Dan Cates, also known as Jungleman and w00ki3z, is a 34-year-old from the USA and is regarded by many as one of the best poker players in the world both online and live. He has played in all the high stakes poker cash games around the world for many years. He has over $18,800,000 in live poker tournament earnings, putting him in the top 100 on the all-time money list. He famously won the World Series of Poker (WSOP) $50,000 Players Championship (regarded as one of the hardest poker tournaments to win) in 2021 and again in 2022. Since 2012, Cates has played over 89 live streamed cash games and has won more than $14,400,000. Cates has won the most in history on live streamed poker gash games. Tan Xuan is a Chinese businessman from Wuhan. Xuan has won over $12,300,000 in live poker tournament earnings, putting him in the top 150 on poker's all time money list. His biggest score of $2,308,384 came during the 2018 Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Montenegro, where he finished second in the HK$1,000,000 No Limit Hold’em – Short Deck Ante Only tournament. Since 2018, Since 2018 Xuan has played on over 77 live streamed poker cash games and has lost over $7,700,000. Triton Poker was founded in 2015 by Paul Phua and Richard Yong; their aim was to attract a healthy mixture of recreational poker players and seasoned poker professionals. Part of what makes the Triton Series so special is that it's open to a wide range of poker players – not just a select few. They envisioned Triton as a series of poker events providing excellent entertainment value for audiences passionate about poker. Some of the most famous poker players to have appeared at Triton events have been Phil Ivey ‘RaiseOnce', Tom Dwan ‘Durrr', Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn', Michael Addamo ‘imluckbox', Chris Brewer, Jason Koon ‘JAKoon1985', Tony G, Dan Cates ‘Jungleman', Doug Polk ‘WCGRider', Stephen Chidwick ‘stevie444', Linus Loeliger ‘LLinusLLove', Isaac Haxton ‘philivey2694', Mikita Badziakouski ‘fish2013', Timofey Kuznetsov ‘Trueteller' and many more. Preflop:With the $4,000 straddle on, Paul Phua raises from early position with pocket sevens to $10,000. Tan Xuan calls from the button holding 98 of hearts and Dan Cates defends KQo from the under the gun straddle. Flop – Ac Jd 3s:Cates is first to act and checks his gutshot straight draw to broadway. Phua, with his two hockey sticks, opts not to continuation bet and checks. Xuan's suited connector has flopped terribly as he just has a backdraw straight draw. He bets $17,000 as a bluff and only Cates calls from out of position. Turn – Ts:Heads-up to the ten of spades turn, which helps improve Cates to the nuts with a broadway straight. Cates checks for a second time and Xuan, who despite picking up an open ended straight draw, is drawing dead. Xuan doesn't know this as he chooses to fire a second barrel for $35,000. Cates takes the most aggressive option available to him by check raising to $125,000. Xuan doesn't believe the story Cates is telling, so he decides to 3-bet to $325,000. Cates sets the trap by just calling and the two poker players head to a river. River – 6h:Nothing changes on the six of hearts river, and Cates checks the action over to Xuan. With just nine-high, will Xuan shove all in or will he check behind and give up on his bluff? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to see what happens!
