Podcasts about Rahm

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.

This week, Daniel Berger can’t quite go wire to wire as Akshay Bhatia hunts him down to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Plus, Harv misses again and picks are in shambles, Rahm finally wins on the LIV, Mount Rushmore of Par 3’s and more. The post Episode 405 – ChokeBerger appeared first on Drive The Green Golf.

After a trip to the eye doctor, Andy is locked in for this Friday episode and is immediately thrilled by an unsubstantiated rumor from Brendan! about an ill-timed tattoo. PJ is out on a trip with his fellow Boy, leaving the two to recap Daniel Berger's stellar Thursday at Bay Hill by themselves. Andy and Brendan discuss signs of life from DB and Ludvig Åberg before debating whether the Arnold Palmer Invitational should replace The Players as the PGA Tour's "major." They agree that the setup is closer to a major championship test than March at TPC Sawgrass with Brendan claiming something can't be a major if they're playing ball-in-hand every year. After a brief bowling interlude, Andy decides that Luke Donald's third consecutive Ryder Cup captaincy is NOT an issue, much to PJ's dismay. In (potentially) related captaincy news, Brendan is still on cloud nine following the big Jup Links win and Tom Kim's ace that sent Tiger's team to the TGL playoffs. Will Tiger tee it up in the first round against the Ballfrogs? We have two weeks to find out. Jon Rahm will be teeing it up in South Africa soon, which Rory McIlroy seemed to think he may not be too happy about. Rory was asked to comment on Rahm's ongoing fight with the DP World Tour and we may have a beef breweing between these Ryder Cup teammates! Finally, Andy and Brendan share some college football tales from Augusta in honor of legendary coach and broadcaster Lou Holtz, who passed away on Wednesday evening.

This week, Mark and Todd sit down with the Golf Channel's own Rex Hoggard to talk Tiger, Rahm vs The DP World Tour and 2027 PGA Tour scheduling

Nico Echavarria wins the Cognizant Classic after Shane Lowry blows a 3 shot lead. Kevin Kisner is now a YouTube golfer. Jon Rahm decides to not sign a deal to remain a DP World Tour member. The Arnold Palmer Invitational kicks off this week for the 3rd Signature Event of the season. #golf #pgatour #Cognizant #ArnoldPalmer #TGL #Kisner #Rahm #DP

Brendan! is on edge early in this episode ahead of a win-and-in Jupiter Links match rounding out TGL's regular season. He shares his favorite team's lineup for the match with Andy and highlights management's decision to send out Kevin Kisner for this pivotal moment in team history. Things quickly transition into the Schedule for the Week for another loaded weekend of outdoor golf. The PGA Tour returns to Bay Hill Club & Lodge for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, one of the premier iron tests on the schedule. Brendan claims that you "cannot be a fraud" this week and believes imposters will be exposed around Arnold's Place. Andy's "5 Guys to Monitor" puts the spotlight on two players making their first PGA Tour starts of 2026 and some other big-name players searching for a win in Florida. There are some laments from Andy about the smaller, Signature Event field making Bay Hill not as fun for PGA Tour Live viewing, but Brendan pushes back and is excited to see all the screened-in porches. PJ jumps in to run the year's first installment of In/Out/Alternate in honor of this week's Puerto Rico Open, where the Past Champions category is putting in work after a slew of withdrawals. Ben Crane's much-anticipated (and highly bet on!) Champions Tour debut is blown by in the rundown in favor of a discussion about Jon Rahm's comments in Hong Kong. Many LIV players are stuck in the Middle East and reserves will be in action, but Rahm made the trip and decided to prolong his fight with the DP World Tour. He has taken exception to the DP World Tour mandating that LIV members play six events, making for a busy fall following the LIV season's end. Andy and Brendan do not feel any pain for Rahm, wondering how he's gone this far in his "delusional" fight against the DPWT. Will this mark the end of Rahm's Ryder Cup career? It looks like things are trending that way. Use promo code SGS30 to shop the Draddy Sport Spring collection: ⁠https://bdraddy.com/collections/draddy-sport-spring-26-collection

This week on Quiet Please Golf Podcast, we wrap up the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches and break down the late stumble from Shane Lowry — what’s the mindset in those moments, and what does it mean for him moving forward? We also look at the composure of Nico Echavarria, who battled through the Bear Trap, and preview storylines heading into the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Off the course, the business of golf gets interesting as McLaren steps into the game with McLaren Golf while Topgolf reportedly loses nearly $1B in valuation. And the global tour drama continues as Jon Rahm calls out the DP World Tour, labeling its penalties “extortion.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is Victory Monday for Golf's Preeminent Gambling Podcast! Andy returns from vacation and immediately gives Brendan his flowers for picking Jacob Bridgeman to win the Genesis Invitational. PJ issues an apology for laughing at Brendan's belief in The Bridgeman, who cashed 100-1 tickets for bettors everywhere. Andy and Brendan recap the weekend at Riviera and shine a light on Bridgemans path to the PGA Tour and his first career victory. Kevin Van Valkenburg joins from the on-site media center in LA to share some observations from the ground, touching on Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Aldrich Potgieter, and more. Andy, Brendan, and Kevin also discuss the online pushback against Riviera after the pros tore up a soft course this week after all the rain on Thursday. After debating whether there should be a "Shotgun Start Book Club," there's a brief Tiger Woods conversation amongst the group, with everyone believing that he will, in fact, play on the Champions Tour in 2026. Brendan is convinced that Tiger will be playing the Masters, too! Andy moves to ban Spider putters on the PGA Tour before recapping the rest of the week in pro golf, including the Magical Kenya Open and Jeeno Thitikul's first-ever win in Thailand. In news, the DP World Tour has settled its fines with almost all of the eligible LIV players... except for Jon Rahm. Andy and Brendan wonder if this means his 2027 Ryder Cup status is truly in doubt as even Tyrrell Hatton decided to cut the check. PJ and Andy are both in Florida for the big Ballfrogs match on Monday night, but it remains to be seen if Brendan will make it down south through the snow. Stay tuned for some in-person TGL takeaways on Wednesday's episode!

Wow. Anthony Kim take a bow. After some significant personal challenges and demons to work through, this surely is one of time great redemption stories, and we rightly start todays show discussing his performance at LIV Adelaide - particularly his final day performance. Nick has played with Anthony and says that, by his own admission, he could be a difficult character but he has turned that around. Nick shares a text that he received a few months ago from his caddy Wilbur who had spent some time with Anthony and said that he was a changed man.Mark has some stats on Anthony from the last couple of years, that Ryan at the Monday Q Twitter page shared.Rahm's drop. What was that all about? A number of wolfpackers wrote in about it, we all saw it, Mark describes it as 'crazy', although Nick found Bryson's reaction amusing. On Rahm, we have a listen to the audio of him talking about The Australian Open, and Mark tees off again on the date.For Hostplus, Nick says that Rahm playing The Australian Open would be a plus for golf, along with the other big names who might also play it should the date be more favourable.LIV Adelaide was great, and rightly took a lot of the focus, however Pebble Beach was also exciting and Min Woo nearly got home! Morikawa played very well, and Mark says that he deserves enormous credit for recovering from what would have been a difficult week last week for him.For BMW , our Touch of Class this week is the outpouring of support for Anthony Kim after his LIV win. It was great to see.After the turn - we remind everyone of our Betr / Talk Birdie To Me multi - Scheffler to finish Top 5, Min Woo and Rory to finish Top 10 (including ties) at Riviera this weekend. Decent multi and it's paying 19 bucks at Betr, just head to the website or the Betr app, and search Betr specials.....we're right there!Marks Top 5 is players who have bounced back from significant adversity. There's some great stories.The PING Globals from Nick has plenty to discuss - and he diverts for a moment to tell a very funny story about an orangutan.....it sounds strange, but trust us, it's a must listen.Heaps of feedback - lots on LIV, also OWGR points, our Top 10 course list, and we discuss the Huntingdale redo.Nick's masterclass today is inspired by Anthony Kim.And just as we're wrapping the show, Nick gets a text from Wolfgang at BMW who has sent us his Top 10 Australian courses....and he's played them all!We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.

We have a full set for this week with Will and Scott on deck to talk about the week in golf as well as finally tidy up our goals from 2025. We give you out thoughts on LIV Adelaide and AK's amazing obliteration of Rahm and Bryson as well as Morikawa's win at Pebble over a fast finishing Scottie and Min Woo Lee.

Back at home after a week in Chicago, Brendan is joined by "The Boys" for this beefy Monday show. This episode was recorded late on Sunday night after BP was issued a technical foul during a youth basketball game and needed time to "decompress" before using a microphone. Joseph immediately wants to learn why Brendan was T'd up and finds that his actions were completely justified after a complete rules breakdown. While the technical foul may be a big story for this podcast, the biggest story in sports this weekend belongs to LIV Golf following Anthony Kim's win in Adelaide. AK erased a five-shot Sunday deficit playing in a group with major champions Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, defeating Rahm by three shots for his first win in 16 years. Brendan, Joseph, and PJ recap the final round, covering Kim's outstanding iron play, the return of the swagger that made him captivating to begin with, and the many inspiring quotes from after the tournament wrapped up. They also question some of the broadcast's hyperbolic statements about the magnitude of the moment. There is also plenty of discussion about brutal Sundays from Rahm and Bryson, adding yet another week without a win for both of them on the LIV Golf tour. Not to be completely outdone, the PGA Tour had an "A+ week" at Pebble Beach according to Brendan. Collin Morikawa came from behind to secure his first win since the 2023 Zozo, making a four on the 18th hole for the win. Joseph and Brendan break down performances from Morikawa, Akshay Bhatia, and even Scottie Scheffler, who found himself in the mix again after a slow start on Thursday. Joseph also calls out Sam Burns for his club choice on the final hole, something that only a Deputy would do. In news, Gary Player remains upset with Augusta National (and Brendan may have an idea of why), sponsor exemptions go to - who else? - Jordan Spieth and Tony Finau, and Brendan and PJ go in on the Providence Friars following a dirty Saturday game against the Johnnies.

Rogier is naar de kapper geweest en heeft de blaren op zijn handen staan van de uitgebreide range sessie in de zon. Paul en Martijn waren weer in de baan. Martijn maakte een mooie 76 en de par van het jaar. Paul heeft daarnaast indoor ook nog even getest op swing en clubpath, een van beide ging heel goed. Peet heeft wel wat getraind maar moest ook 'oppassen'. In verband met de aankomende vakantie in Portugal weet weerman Paul Hiemstra tegenwoordig alles van straalstromen.Op de PGA Tour werd het Phoenix Waste Management Open gespeeld. Scheffler leek bijna de cut te missen, maar eindigde zondag toch slechts op 1 slag. Hideki was lang de favoriet ondanks dat hij geen fairway wist te raken, door een bogey op de laatste kwam hij in de playoff tegen Chris Gotterup en Chris is in vorm, hij won met een birdie zijn tweede wedstrijd van het seizoen.De DP World Tour was in Qatar. Reed deed weer mee dus alle anderen speelde weer voor de 2e prijs. Calum Hill die vorige week met een shank de playoff in Bahrein verloor had deze week weer een shank maar eindigde dankzij een goede slotronde 2e plaats achter Patrick Reed die met de parel naar huis ging.De opener van LIV was in Riyadh en er stonden voor het eerst ook wereldranglijstpunten op het spel. Er werd gespeeld 'under the lights' en de rookies deden het goed: Detry en Smylie. Rahm was chasing de laatste dag, maar kwam net een slag te kort op Elvis Smylie die foutloos golf liet zien. Kan hij het thuis (volgende week in Adelaide) weer doen?In de korte ronde: The Players als echt major, Naarderbos wordt nieuw leven in geblazen, Mike Toorop, LET op Riyadh, Druids, geen monday Q in Phoenix en Olmpsche Spelen (Jutta Leerdam)We doen onze voorspellingen voor ons Jaarspel, de toernooien op Pebble Beach en in Adelaide.

No time to muck around - right off the bat we reveal the BMW Touch of Class recipient this week, and it had to be Elvis Smylie....a huge win in his LIV debut, individual and team and a well deserved Touch of Class for BMW. Nick and Mark discuss how Elvis played, particularly with Rahm on the tear in the late stages, and how he has moved from 130 to be in the 70's now, on the verge of a Masters spot if he can have another couple of solid performances.His timing was pretty good given this was the first LIV tournament eligible for OWGR points, although both Nick and Mark feel the structure of how many points is not yet right. Obviously this weekend is LIV Adelaide, which as usual will be crazy - Adelaide being consistently LIV's best event.Brandel Chamblee made some controversial comments about The Players this week, Nick and Mark discuss and respond to his comments, around the field, the prestige, and Mark asks Nick if he could choose, which one major would he like to win. Nick also gives a recommendation for a restructure of the Women's Majors.Mark watched the Waste Management tournament in Phoenix and loved plenty of it, but was disappointed with two things. He explains.He has also brought in a ridiculous photo regarding aim point and straddling the line - it is truly insane we'll put it on socials, and show it on the YouTube show. We decide that were straddling the line to be banned, and it should be, that would be a plus for golf, and we reckon our friends at Hostplus, who are mad golfers, would completely agree.Oh dear.....the Chili Dip that was seen around the world from Colin Morikawa. We've all done it, but most of us not on international television. We discuss using the leading edge and 'hands of gold' when chipping. Nick and Mark watch the video, and give their thoughts on his technique.After the turn, following a chat about the OWGR points, we look at what you get for each tournament and if it is equitable. Then, for Betr, Nick's Top 5 is the Top 5 Chili Dips in golf....there are some classics, and a couple of very heavy hitters in there!Feedback for Southern Golf Club - we read a couple about Elvis, there were plenty, lots of comments on the Top 10 list - including a ripper of a suggestion from wolfpacker Jack who'd love a Top 10 Public Course list....which we reckon wolfpackers are better to suggest as there will be bunch we've not played. So....let us know what you reckon are your favourite public access courses, shoot a message through via the website, a voicemail, or comment on socials....you might have 1 suggestion, you might have 5, or somewhere in the middle, doesn't matter....give us your views and we'll compile a list.Nick runs through the results in the PING Globals - plenty of golf, the season is away with a bang. And during them we have a look at Tour Pro Chris Gotterup's swing - Mark has noticed something and wants to discuss it. Nick also has another killer Scottie Scheffler stat....this is becoming a habit, maybe we need a stats theme song opener?And predictably, Mark tries to search something on Grok and it goes pear-shaped....We wrap the show with a Masterclass for the Golf Clearance Outlet from Mark inspired by Colin Morikawa's awful chip at the weekend.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.

Former White House Chief of Staff & Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel joins the Chuck ToddCast for a wide-ranging conversation on the forces shaping America’s political and economic future. He discusses why the 2028 election will be about what’s ahead—not what’s behind—and argues that understanding AI, energy, and the changing nature of work is now essential for anyone seeking leadership. Emanuel makes the case that education and vocational training remain the clearest pathway to the middle class, warns about declining reading proficiency, and examines what schools must do to prepare students for a rapidly evolving world. He also explores how both parties lost their way on education, why fundamentals matter, and what voters are really demanding from the system. The discussion then turns sharply to politics, power, and the health of American institutions. Emanuel weighs in on Trump-era controversies, Congress’s weakened role, and concerns about election integrity and the post-election environment. He outlines how Democrats can rebuild a winning coalition by welcoming independents and former Republicans, focusing on economic fairness, and preparing for a potential 2026 wave election. The episode closes with a global lens—covering U.S.–Israel dynamics, political polarization, wealth inequality, and whether national service could help reunite a fractured country—framing a central question: if the midterms fail to reset the trajectory, what comes next for American democracy?

In this episode, Chuck Todd reacts to the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, then examines the political shockwaves rippling through Washington after Donald Trump’s controversial and widely condemned post about the Obamas, placing it within the broader context of Trump’s long history of racial controversies and growing unease inside his own coalition. As criticism emerges from Republican lawmakers, conservative legal voices, and even Olympic athletes, Todd explores signs that Trump’s influence may be weakening—fueled by internal party fractures, controversial foreign policy moves, and a leadership circle increasingly insulating him from reality. With a surge of congressional retirements, warning signs from special elections, and historical trends favoring the opposition party, the conversation turns to whether Republicans are heading toward a major electoral setback—and whether worsening controversies, including ongoing fallout from Epstein-related revelations, could further reshape the political landscape before November. Then, former White House Chief of Staff & Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel joins the Chuck ToddCast for a wide-ranging conversation on the forces shaping America’s political and economic future. He discusses why the 2028 election will be about what’s ahead—not what’s behind—and argues that understanding AI, energy, and the changing nature of work is now essential for anyone seeking leadership. Emanuel makes the case that education and vocational training remain the clearest pathway to the middle class, warns about declining reading proficiency, and examines what schools must do to prepare students for a rapidly evolving world. He also explores how both parties lost their way on education, why fundamentals matter, and what voters are really demanding from the system. The discussion then turns sharply to politics, power, and the health of American institutions. Emanuel weighs in on Trump-era controversies, Congress’s weakened role, and concerns about election integrity and the post-election environment. He outlines how Democrats can rebuild a winning coalition by welcoming independents and former Republicans, focusing on economic fairness, and preparing for a potential 2026 wave election. The episode closes with a global lens—covering U.S.–Israel dynamics, political polarization, wealth inequality, and whether national service could help reunite a fractured country—framing a central question: if the midterms fail to reset the trajectory, what comes next for American democracy? Finally, Chuck comments on the fallout from the mass layoffs at the Washington Post, hops in the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the history of the Iranian revolution and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Not sure if you've heard about it, but Brooks Koepka is back on the PGA Tour this week! Andy joins Brendan for this Farmers Insurance Open preview coming off a big Ballfrogs win on Monday night. He's giddy about the Frogs continuing to earn the top spot in our TGL Power Rankings and makes a pitch for Michael Thorbjornsen to become a permanent member of the team. Brooks Koepka has not yet joined a TGL team, but he did join some assembled media for a pre-tournament press conference at Torrey Pines on Tuesday. He spoke about his nerves returning to the PGA Tour and seemed a little emotional discussing the path that led him back to the Farmers. Andy and Brendan unpack the half-hour presser before Brendan offers up some over/unders for Koepka's 2026 season. How many Signature Events will he play? Will he return to Bellerive for the BMW Championship in August? Will he ever suit up for Jupiter Links after all? Koepka will be in a featured group at the Farmers for Thursday and Friday which will be broadcast on linear TV thanks to ESPN. Brendan wonders if this is the PGA Tour showing off to Bryson and Rahm that they could also be prominently featured on the Worldwide Leader in Sports if they were to return before their approaching deadline. Could Patrick Reed also be part of this conspiracy? We'll have to find out. Andy shares his "5 Guys to Monitor (For Various Reasons)" ahead of this week's festivities at Torrey, keeping an eye on a horse for the course and a major champion that could be on the trade block. One-and-done picks are made for the Farmers with PJ's pick prompting a fun Medinah story from Andy. Elsewhere on the schedule, LPGA season kicks off this week at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions and Patrick Reed looks to stay hot on the DP World Tour in Bahrain. In news, the 2026 PGA Tour Player Advisory Council was announced and has a distinctly American feel, Nelly Korda has some *takes* about WTGL, and a DP World Tour player goes down for a performance-enhancing drug suspension.

After a break through January and a fantastic collection of holiday mini's, Nick and Mark are back today with a massive first pod of 2026! So much to discuss, we barely know where to start, so we've decided to just hook in and see where the chat goes.By the way, Nick has come back physically injured - or at least he was, and he's on the mend. Mark has come back emotionally injured due to an issue with his handicap. So both are tender. Dan's fine.We start with the big news a fortnight or so back about Brooks returning to the PGA, what it means, the impact of it, and Nick talks through the PGA 'Returning Member Programme' and what the criteria is. Mark discusses the rumoured offer that may have come, or may be coming, to Bryson - the numbers are mind-bending. Nick says that ironically, given they're not the best of friends, Brooks leaving has given Bryson huge leverage.Mark has gotten in trouble over the break and is not allowed to name his 'source' in the US of much of his rumour and scuttlebutt. He can still reveal said rumour and scuttlebutt, however he just can't name the source.....if you've been listening for a while you will know who that is. But....Mark has said that his mail is that whilst the PGA paid the fine that was on the table for Brooks, they also made the same offer to Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau. The plot thickensWe discuss Elvis Smylie signing with LIV. Nick is good mates with Elvis and Mark wants to know if Nick knew it was coming and kept it from us. Nick is curious about the fine situation - Elvis has told Nick he'll be playing DPWT events, so who pays the fine? Particularly as LIV are now now longer paying Rahm and Hatton's fines. Mark estimates what he thinks Elvis has signed with LIV for. It's a boatload. On fines - Rory had some comments last week about them, and we have a listen to what he said....particularly in the context of The Presidents Cup.Back on Elvis - Mark says having no money concerns is likely to help Elvis' game. Nick disagrees and says often having that much cash can have the opposite effect on a player. Speaking of money. Scheffler has cracked $100 million PGA Tour earnings. Wow. And his stats from 2025 are exceptional, Nick runs through them. Mark raises The Australian Open date (again!), given the next couple of weeks is precisely the time that he feels it should be on, and he explains why he feels that way again, saying Golf Australia should be in a room with Brian Rolapp to organise it, at the very least make the effort to explore it.And we head to the turn by remembering last weeks Hostplus Guest pod with Peter Senior - huge feedback on it, it was a ripper. If you've not yet heard it then go back in the feed and listen or watch, it was a lot of fun. Particularly a certain story involving Spain. And we had a lot of minis over the break - if you were busy with family stuff or away, understandable, but worth catching up when you can - the majority are quite short and easy listens.After The Turn, for Betr, Nick lists the Top 5 things that were surprising to him over the break....unintentional, but there is a LIV lean to the Top 5 including a whack from both Nick and Mark for one particular thing that LIV did recently.Thanks to BMW - Mark's Touch of Class today is great, it's a young gun (18-years old!) from the US who did something amazing last week, he's got a bright future ahead of him, Mark explains what he did and why it was so impressive. Unfortunately Nick then takes the pod down a risky path putting our podcast license at risk.We get back on track with Hostplus' 'That's a Plus' for Golf, we've given that to Brooks Koepka's return to the PGA as an indication of the best players coming back together. And speaking of Hostplus, if you have a guest you'd like on the pod - let us know!Mark's talked a big game with the Masterclass today. Tip of the year, maybe of the century. You decide. And then Nick brings us home with the PING Global results , plenty to run through.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.

Andy did not declare this a Victory Friday episode, but is looking ahead to another potential Victory Monday coming soon! He opens the show by telling Brendan how nice it is to have a franchise quarterback that can lead a team into meaningful January football and is downright giddy about Sunday's matchup against the Rams. Andy wishes that Brendan and PJ may one day get to experience having a long-term answer at QB, but for now, they all get to watch the PGA Tour's Opening Drive at the 2026 Sony Open! Brendan confirms that the Opening Drive is, in fact, just this one event and the branding will be removed by the time we get to Palm Springs, but it's great to have professional golf back nonetheless. There's some new internal OB at Waialae Country Club and some literal walls built to prevent alternate routes being taken off the tee, the fairways have "no fire," and the course was as soft as a dartboard on Thursday morning. A new year means new equipment sponsorships and Andy and Brendan are delighted to share that a burly podcast favorite is officially a PXG troop! Andy waxes poetic about his time with Dr. Bob before PJ pops the bubble and confirms that he is also an honorary doctor, much to Brendan's dismay. Rory McIlroy is in the early lead in Dubai and made headlines by playing with cavity-back irons. Andy breaks out a take that all pros should have to play blades and leads Brendan into an "Equipment Minute." Tuesday's TGL match is very briefly discussed as Andy and PJ walk Brendan through what he missed skipping out on another Jup Stinks loss. Brendan rounds up some quotes from PGA Tour players (such as Will Zalatoris, this week's guest on The Fried Egg Golf Podcast) about Brooks Koepka's return and it seems like many are happy to have him back. Wyndham Clark is not necessarily among them, saying that the penalty is like Brooks having his cake and eating it too. Speaking of Brooks, Kevin Van Valkenburg comes in from the bullpen to close the show with a Flashback Friday segment on the Top 10 Brooks Koepka moments from his first PGA Tour stint. KVV covers Koepka's feud with Bryson, his beef with a horse, and repeated media slights that offended the five-time major champion.

There’s nothing like losing another PGA Tour tournament sponsor to motivate the long-time men’s golf league to invite a few LIV golfers back this season. The year 2022 saw PGA star Brooks Koepka among several big name PGA Tour players who accepted a reported $100 million signing bonus to join start-up LIV Golf. He has won five times during his four seasons on the new golf tour and earned millions more in the process. Brooks Koepka told the media in late December that he and LIV Golf had reached an agreement to release him from playing obligations during 2026.  He wanted to “prioritize the needs of his family and stay closer to home”. Koepka’s contract with LIV Golf was set to expire at the end of 2026. The rationale given sounded quite noble.  Koepka’s wife suffered a miscarriage in October during the fourth month of her second pregnancy.  The couple already had a two-year old son at home. The LIV Golf tour plays ten of its 14 tournaments this year outside of the United States.  Brooks Koepka would have been away from his young family quite a bit in 2026. Yes, this SOUNDED very noble – until Monday Yesterday, the PGA Tour announced an agreement allowing Brooks Koepka to return to play on the PGA Tour later this month at the Farmers Invitational in San Diego. My lovely wife and I speculated that, perhaps, Mrs. Koepka may have been ready to boot her husband out of the house after his relatively short sabbatical. The PGA Tour’s announcement about the return of Brooks Koepka strangely coincides with recent news that Farmers Insurance is exiting as a 16-year title sponsor for the tour’s long-time event in San Diego. The high cost of sponsoring pro golf tournaments has been taking a toll Want to sponsor a PGA Tour event?  The cost has been rapidly in recent years – even after the Tiger Woods era has effectively ended. Sponsorship costs have nearly doubled in the past decade.  A multi-year sponsorship agreement (usually for four or more years) will cost a company up to $20-25 million annually for a traditional spring or summer PGA Tour stop. A $100 million investment in a men’s golf tournament sponsorship must pass muster with corporate board overseers who will expect to see results to justify the exceptional costs. Don’t expect to see “The SwampSwamiSports.com Open” anytime soon! The PGA Tour has not delivered enough positive results to a growing number of former tournament sponsors Average television viewership for weekly PGA Tour events still brings nearly three million viewers – primarily on CBS.  The network’s advertisers buy TV spots to woo professional golf’s wealthy male audience.  High-dollar vehicles, investment firms and insurance companies dominate ads frequently seen on golf telecasts. However, the 64-year old average age for pro golf’s television viewers is the oldest demographic in all of professional sports. Compare that with NASCAR (58), baseball (57), NFL (50) and the NBA (42). Ironically, younger viewers are much more likely to part with discretionary income than their graybeard dads with fatter wallets. Watch any NFL game and notice the types of products being pitched to its viewers.  Growing families purchase houses, furniture, automobiles, fast food, beverages, and recurring household goods. That’s one reason why PGA Tour weekly telecasts seem to be waving their proverbial broadcast booth pom-poms for younger stars such as 36-year old Rory McIlroy, 29-year old Scottie Scheffler, and 32-year old Justin Thomas. The men’s pro golf tour is desperate to find “the next Tiger Woods”.  El Tigre has been sidelined in recent years with injuries and recently turned 50.  He cannot prop-up the PGA Tour forever. The rising price tag to host a PGA Tour stop may be indicative of fewer events in the future San Diego’s long-time PGA Tour stop has been sponsored by Farmers Insurance for the past 16 years. A press release by Farmers Insurance announced the end of the sponsorship recently stating, “The tournament has generated millions of dollars for charity and delighted golf fans in San Diego and beyond”. Perhaps a more honest comment might have been, “But we haven’t received a significant enough return on our investment after spending $20 million to prop-up this rather expensive event annually”. It’s not like Farmers Insurance is giving up on golf as an advertising vehicle. The company recently posted a news release that Farmers has become a title sponsor for this winter’s second-year of TGL (Tomorrow’s Golf League).  TGL is a weekly televised indoor golf contest aired on ESPN. A TGL spokesperson said, “Farmers Insurance recognizes the engagement that prime time team golf delivers with a wide spectrum of sports fans, especially younger fans.” Traditional PGA tournament sponsors expect to see positive results The loss of major male golf stars like Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Cam Smith and others to LIV Golf a few years ago really hurt the PGA Tour.  Every tournament sponsor wants their event to feature a top field of golfers which excites local fans to come out and see. The title sponsor is “sold” with the expectation that a significant national television audience will be watching from home. That sponsor wants to see thousands of happy golf fans attending their event in person, too.  This one-week golf tournament blitz is intended to capture the maximum positive name recognition today and some long-lasting goodwill associated with the company’s financial investment. This spring’s Colonial golf event (currently known as the Charles Schwab Invitational) in Fort Worth wants patrons to plunk down $85 for a one-day pass in late May.  North Texas golf fans want to see top golfers and popular regional favorites such as former University of Texas stars Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler in this year’s field. However, the PGA Tour does not require a golfer to play in any particular weekly event (yet), so the field in Fort Worth is still rather uncertain.  The upper echelon of PGA Tour golfers often decide to enter a particular event if played in a favorite geographic region or on a golf course which suits their game or which features significant prize money up for grabs. The title sponsor of any particular PGA Tour event bears a significant financial risk if not enough of the top golfers elect not to play in their tournament.  Fewer top stars at some events mean lower television ratings and a negative impact on tournament revenues. Have the costs exceeded with the desired benefits for some PGA tournament sponsors? Farmers Insurance is not the first major corporation to end a sponsorship of a PGA Tour event in recent years. Wells Fargo walked away from its tournament in Charlotte, North Carolina last year.  The year 2024 saw Honda Motor Company end its long-time association with a tournament in southeast Florida. Shriners Children’s Hospital walked away from its PGA event in 2023. The PGA Tour’s competition with LIV Golf caused weekly money to balloon to nearly $8 million per tournament in recent years.  These increased payouts to players has been passed along in the form of higher corporate sponsorship costs. Some companies believe that the current costs outweigh the perceived benefits.  The market is working. A $3 billion life preserver was received by the PGA Tour just in time for the 2024 season A unique partnership with private equity investor Strategic Sports Group provided the PGA Tour a massive cash infusion in January, 2024.  This $3 billion investment was intended to halt the migration of top golfers to LIV Golf and provide a long-term financial backstop against potential operational losses on the PGA Tour. Half of the new money ($1.5 billion) was set aside to pay for a new long-term incentive bonus plan to be paid to PGA Tour golfers.  The players must remain on the tour for several years in order to collect their full bonus share.  This would (theoretically) cause players to think twice about jumping to LIV Golf or any other golf tour. Will the three other major LIV Golf stars take the bait and return to the PGA Tour? Monday’s announcement by the PGA Tour to allow Brooks Koepka’s amnesty came along with a rather restrictive short-term offer to three other prominent (and young) LIV Golf stars.  The PGA’s “Returning Member Program” would allow LIV golfers Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Cam Smith a chance to return to the PGA Tour this season if they should agree to accept the terms by February 2. Brooks Koepka (and the other three LIV golfers) will not be eligible for any FedEx bonus pool money in 2026.  The golfer must play in 15 PGA Tour events in 2026.  Koepka (and any other LIV golfers) will be excluded from the new PGA Tour bonus pool for the next five years.  That might result in a potential future loss of up to $50 million per player. Brooks Koepka also agreed to donate $5 million to charity as part of his “deal”.  Expect the other three golfers to be required to pay at least that amount to charity. LIV Golf’s youthful trio of DeChambeau, Rahm, and Smith still remain under contract with their employer to play this season.  They would have to quickly negotiate a buy-out for their LIV Golf contracts and then be fleeced again by the PGA Tour’s punitive terms and conditions. I don’t expect the other three golfers to take the bait.  Brooks Koepka had his own personal reasons to exit LIV Golf. The others?  Not so much – at least right now. Does this signal the end for LIV Golf? The Saudi Public Investment Fund is worth more than $1 trillion.  That Saudi PIF doesn’t seem concerned that LIV Golf has become a multi-billion dollar money loser. The loss of a few percentage points from this massive pile of cash is balanced by the Saudis’ perceived prestige as the owner of a worldwide golf tour. I believe that the loss of Brooks Koepka represents a relatively small hit for LIV Golf.  The five-time major champion was never very personable with fans and the media.  He doesn’t move the “fan favorite” needle as much as Bryson DeChambeau, Spain’s Jon Rahm, or even Australian Cam Smith. If DeChambeau, Rahm, and Smith follow suit and join Koepka to accept the PGA’s short-term “Come home” offer by February 2, worldwide interest in LIV Golf will plummet. The 2026 LIV Golf schedule has only 14 golf tournaments.  Ten will be played overseas with only four LIV Golf events to be played in the US this year. One of the US tournaments will be played in New Orleans at Bayou Oaks in City Park from June 25-28. Whose bad idea was that to schedule a golf tournament at that time of year in the Crescent City? Those of us who have lived in New Orleans will confirm the oppressive late June heat and humidity in the city.  Lake Pontchartrain, the Mississippi River, and the Gulf combine to create one of America’s hottest summer locations.  It will punish the golfers far more than the layout at the renovated City Park golf course. Conclusion The PGA Tour now desperately wants their wealthy competitor (LIV Golf) to surrender soon. LIV Golf is feeling no pressure to fold anytime soon. The PGA Tour, though, has new private financial backers who may be quietly demanding executives to show improved profitability after the group’s $3 billion investment into the long-time men’s professional golf league. Purses for men’s pro golf may have peaked due to competition from LIV Golf.  The average PGA Tour golfer earned more than $2.2 million in 2025.  They’ll somehow survive. This is getting very interesting.  Stay tuned! The post PGA Tour attempts to turn the screws on LIV Golf appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Rahm Emanuel returns to ChinaTalk with a characteristically blunt assessment of U.S.-China relations, delivering an unsparing verdict on the first year of Donald Trump's second term. We discuss: The “Fear Factor” in Asia: Why Japan and South Korea are ramping up defense spending not because of Trump's strength, but because his unpredictability and isolationism have forced them to buy “insurance policies” against a U.S. exit, Corruption and “Own Goals”: How “draining the swamp” has turned into institutional degradation — and why the Trump family's entanglement of personal business interests with foreign policy damages U.S. credibility and strategic leverage, Adversary, Not Competitor: Why the U.S. needs to stop viewing China as a strategic competitor and start treating it as a strategic adversary — one whose win-lose economic model is designed to hollow out global industrial bases, Education as National Security: Why tariffs are a distraction and the only real way to beat China is a massive domestic push for workforce training, AI and Inequality: Rahm's evolving thinking on artificial intelligence — why he's still learning and why a technology that boosts productivity but widens inequality is a political and social risk. Plus: prescient observations on Iran, why Ari Emanuel's robot UFC idea might actually be sound policy, Rahm's case that he's now the real free-market capitalist in the room, and rapid-fire takes on J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, and the 2028 Republican field. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Before Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme get to golf's biggest news of the past week - LIV Golf moving from 54 to 72 holes - we begin by detailing Smylie's brutal onset of “dad back” that left him crawling around the house. Charlie then recounts his cathartic return to golf at Hidden Creek - from a rain-soaked finish to a well-deserved steam shower. From there, the guys dig into LIV's move to 72-hole events: does it help majors performance, OWGR hopes, or brand identity? They hit fan reactions, Rory's take, player pathways, and why 72 holes might help some stars while blurring what made LIV different. In the back half of the episode, they tackle the DP World Tour dilemma: Rahm and Hatton's appeals, Ryder Cup eligibility, the PGA Tour partnership, TV product realities, and whether “home games,” nations, or mixed-gender teams could make team golf click.

Send us a Text: Ask Us a Question!This episode of Waypoints is a bit ... different. Host Jim Klug sits down with former White House Chief of Staff, Congressman, Mayor of Chicago, and U.S. Ambassador to Japan - Rahm Emanuel - for an out-of-the-ordinary, candid conversation that blends politics, perspective, and pure flyfishing obsession. While Rahm has been featured on countless political shows, this discussion steps away from pure campaign strategy and policy spin to explore how one of America's most recognized political figures finds happiness and focus through flyfishing. From chasing peacock bass in the jungles of the Amazon to stalking trout in Montana, Rahm's passion for the sport runs deep.Known for his intensity and drive in the political arena, Emanuel opens up about how time on the water provides clarity, humility, and balance - and why conservation, access, and public lands should matter to every angler. The conversation ranges from global travel and favorite fisheries to flyfishing's potential role in connecting people across political lines. It also touches on the current political climate in D.C. and the future of conservation and outdoor recreation policy. It's an unexpected and refreshing look at a figure who may soon make headlines for much more than his casting stroke - and who just might be the one to bring flyfishing back to the White House in 2028!Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild.

With Andy on the road, Brendan! kicks off this episode with a solo segment focusing on Jon Rahm and his Ryder Cup future. Brendan unpacks the ongoing legal battle between Rahm (and Tyrrell Hatton) and the DP World Tour regarding fines for playing unsanctioned (LIV) events. Rahm has repeatedly stated that he will not be paying these fines and has appealed the DP World Tour's ruling to the point of arbitration. Due to this appeal process, Rahm and Hatton have been able to play in DP World Tour events despite the outstanding fines and were allowed to play for Team Europe at the 2025 Ryder Cup. With the arbitration ruling looming, Brendan looks at whether Rahm's Ryder Cup status and DPWT status is really in jeopardy, and what it would mean for him (and Team Europe) moving forward. Brendan is then joined by Kevin Van Valkenburg for the rest of this Wednesday episode. KVV offers his take on the Rahm discourse and the news that Rahm will not tee it up until LIV's 2026 season kicks off in February. From there, the two run through the Schedule for the Week. Many stars are in India for the DP World Indian Championship in Delhi. Rory, Tommy, Hovland, "Benny Booms," and Brian Harman are among the notables competing at this fall series event. Viktor is back in action after his neck injury at Bethpage and was finally available to speak on the events leading to his Sunday "in the envelope." Elsewhere in golf, the LPGA's Asia swing rolls on with another limited-field event without Nelly Korda, the Champs Tour playoffs kick off in the DMV, and Q-School is ongoing. In news, Cadillac is rumored to be back in the fold for the PGA Tour's return to Doral this year. Brendan and KVV take this as a chance to reminisce about past tournament sponsors they wish would return. Lastly, KVV debuts his new mailbag segment with a few preview questions before expanding on more submissions in an upcoming website column.

Andy and Brendan return with plenty to discuss as the golf world finally moves out of the Ryder Cup's blast radius. Naturally, this episode kicks off with a Baseball Minute due to a disappointing start to the NLDS for Andy's beloved Cubs and Pete Crow-Armstrong. Things quickly transition to "Don Watch" as Brendan is hearing rumblings that the "Lose Yourself" karaoke video may surface in the coming days. The PGA Tour moves from Jackson, Mississippi to Tokyo, Japan this week for the Baycurrent Classic. This event and its various changes in the last five years leads to a wider discussion about the PGA Tour schedule and the ultimate question of "how many tournaments is too many?" Elsewhere on the schedule this week, the Korn Ferry Tour finals are set to go off in French Lick even though most of next year's Tour cards are locked up. On the DP World Tour, many LIV stars are at the Spanish Open contending for a 2026 Masters invite. Jon Rahm is playing his home event and spoke to the media to somewhat re-ignite the Ryder Cup crowd discourse a bit, as one does. After running through the rest of the Schedule for the Week, Andy and Brendan parse through a bunch of golf news including the return of the Skins Game and the 2026 TGL schedule release (with accompanying content!).

John welcomes Rahm Emanuel—former Democratic Illinois congressman, White House chief of staff, mayor of Chicago, U.S. ambassador to Japan, and likely 2028 presidential candidate—to discuss the lessons of the Jimmy Kimmel conniption; how the broadcast networks could band together to beat back Donald Trump's regulatory and legal campaign against them; and the strategy and tactics his party should employ in the battle over shutting down the government. Rahm also flays congressional Republicans for putting their "manhood in a lockbox" when it comes to Trump, and challenge Wall Street's titans to take him on over his efforts to undermine the Fed.
