Podcast appearances and mentions of Rickie Fowler

Welcome back to The Spread Zone! Scott Rizzuto, Tim McKernan, and Anthony Stalter are here to navigate a massive week of playoff action and concrete racing. The guys start on the ice, eulogizing their Avalanche futures ticket and pivoting hard to the Vegas buzzsaw with a slate of Stanley Cup futures, plus a +132 moneyline value play on the Canadiens. Then, it's off to the hardwood where Anthony breaks down why the Spurs aren't dead yet, handing out a San Antonio Game 6 cover and a juicy Victor Wembanyama (+650) Finals MVP sprinkle, before explaining why the rest-versus-rust trend heavily favors the New York Knicks. Next, Tim heads to Fort Worth for the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial, locking in Rickie Fowler (+2200) to conquer the "Horrible Horseshoe" alongside an Alex Smalley top-10 value play. Finally, the crew heads to Nashville for NASCAR's Cracker Bell 400, offering a concrete-crushing outright ticket on Denny Hamlin (+470) following a heavy, emotional weekend for the racing community.The Spread Zone is presented by @FanDuel Sportsbook!https://www.101espn.com/podcasts/the-spread-zone/LEGAL DISCLAIMERWe provide information about sports betting for entertainment purposes only.

BRADY KANNON (Golf.com/CBS Sports/Sports Grid) It's PGA Championship week and we turn to our expert for the lowdown on the field and the course conditions at Aronimink. What conditions will the golfers be dealing with in Philly for this week's Major? How big of a deal is Rory McIlroy's blister really? Would that be the reason he doesn't win two majors in a row? Are the favorites the way to go this week? What about Cam Young, he's hot right now. Who does Brady like this week? What's going on with the LIV golfers as the league deals with some big issues? Are there any LIV golfers to keep an eye on? :30- ABC's of the Mariners - Q is for a Quantity of Quirks- it's not exactly clicking for Tatsuya Imai and last night was a great example of that. - R is for Retooled Randy- Randy Arozarena is our best hitter right now. Who gets credit for it? - S is for September Southpaw- everyone is wondering when Kade Anderson will be ready to join the big club? Could we see him in the last month of the season? :45- The NFL schedule is out tomorrow! There are some tangible things we can learn from knowing the schedule.

Our PGA Championship preview is loaded with major picks, sleeper bets, Aronimink insight, and one big name we're avoiding this week. In this week's episode of The Golf Podcast we preview the PGA Championship at Aronimink after getting boots on the ground to play and film the course ourselves. With one of the strongest major fields in recent memory, we break down why this could become an absolute shootout, especially with weather potentially softening the course early before firmer weekend conditions arrive.  We dive into our top PGA Championship picks, including Matt Fitzpatrick's incredible current form, Scottie Scheffler's complete tee-to-green dominance, Rory McIlroy's course-record history at Aronimink, Ludvig Åberg's major-ready ball striking, and Cameron Young's breakout season. We also discuss why Bryson DeChambeau may be too volatile to trust this week despite his major championship pedigree, plus why names like Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth, and Justin Thomas could be dangerous if their games click. From Donald Ross green complexes and thick rough to driving accuracy, putting pressure, sleeper picks, betting odds, and major championship storylines, this PGA Championship preview covers everything golf fans should watch heading into one of the biggest weeks of the year.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

The girls break down Kristoffer Reitan's incredible first PGA TOUR win after a career journey that nearly took him out of professional golf completely - and yes, they proudly declare their love for the Norwegians. They also chat about Alex Fitzpatrick's rollercoaster final round, Rickie Fowler's almost-storybook Mother's Day finish, and Brandt Snedeker's emotional comeback victory after 2,821 days without a TOUR win. Plus, there's plenty of off-course chaos: Rory McIlroy lands a cameo in Devil Wears Prada 2 and Revolve hosts a golf trip that somehow did NOT include Kass or Syd (rude).

SGS goes to the bullpen as PJ and Kevin Van Valkenburg slide into the big chairs for a late Sunday recording. The two aren't entirely sure how they got here, but they applaud Andy for taking the night off to celebrate the Bulls securing a top-four pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. Things stay on the rails to start, as PJ and Kevin quickly get into another "juice-less" week at Quail Hollow for the Truist Championship. Kristoffer Reitan broke through for his first PGA Tour win after getting into this Signature Event on the Aon Swing 5 list, defeating a smattering of European Ryder Cup hopefuls like Alex Fitzpatrick and Nicolai Hojgaard. Reitan successfully navigated the "Green Mile" to round out his Sunday and got to show off an unlikely sponsor during his winner's interview on CBS. Kevin is quick to jump on a runner-up finish for Rickie Fowler and suggests that a Rickie win at the PGA could be the best possible outcome for the sport of golf. PJ is concerned about a "Space Jam" situation unfolding after Justin Thomas bragged about stealing Cameron Young's putter and a tough Sunday on the greens cost Cam a back-to-back win. There's also plenty of Jordan Spieth discussion after he resurrected the "go get that" moment early in an uncompetitive week. In other news, Team USA's captain has won on the PGA Tour yet again! Brandt Snedeker took home the title at the OneFlight Myrtle Beach Classic, his first win since 2018, but was quick to note that he has absolutely no plans to play in the Presidents Cup this fall. He is excited to play in his first major since 2021 this week, and PJ suggests keeping a close eye on who Snedeker tees it up with in practice rounds at Aronimink. Lucas Herbert went wire-to-wire at LIV Virginia, holding off a charging Anthony Kim on Sunday and securing his spot in the 2026 U.S. Open. In a very important installment of Champions Tour Minute, PJ recaps Boo Weekley's win at the Insperity Invitational and shares a special shoutout that Boo received from a famous friend on social media. Overseas, Yurav Premlall might've been the most unlikely DP World Tour winner of all time at this week's Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship, and Chris Wood returned to the winner's circle to round out this week of 2016 throwbacks. In news that we couldn't make up if we tried, professional wrestling company AEW held a show in the SoFi Dome on Saturday featuring wrestlers tackling each other into the very same bunkers that Kevin Kisner hit shanks in for Marty Smith's entertainment! Eamon Lynch also sat down with new PGA of America CEO Terry Clark to get the scoop on Don Rea's whereabouts (among other things) as we arrive at the year's second major championship. Andy and Brendan will return on Tuesday night for a LIVE preview of the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Next on the Tee, we focus on one thing every golfer needs as the temperatures rise—comfort on the course. First, I'm joined by Teddy Lynn, Founder of Heathlander Golf. Teddy shares the real story behind building a golf shoe and apparel brand from the ground up, including the setbacks, the lessons learned, and the persistence it took to get it right—even buying back thousands of pairs of shoes along the way. That journey led to Heathlander winning Best New Product at the 2025 PGA Merchandise Show. We also dive into what makes their products stand out and what's coming next. Then, Dave Williams, Co-Founder and President of 2UNDR, joins the show. We talk about solving one of golf's most annoying problems—on-course discomfort—and how their innovative designs and moisture-wicking fabrics keep you cool, dry, and focused. Dave also shares insights on their 2026 lineup, how they landed Rickie Fowler as a brand ambassador, plus how other guys on the Tour are customers as well. It's a fun and insightful episode with two founders who are making the game more comfortable from the ground up—literally.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.comKyle Porter from Normal Sport is a thoughtful commentator who thinks about a lot more than just the sport he covers. So I wanted to press him on this topic, plus a few others: Is golf, with the PGA Tour now led by a former NFL exec, about to truly take off and conquer the culture? We get into the sport's eccentricities and current moment. Topics include…* Post-Tiger Woods stars: Debate on who has “juice” in golf, including Scottie Scheffler's dominance, recent struggles, and potential as the next face of the sport.* Golf's niche status: Analysis of golf remaining mostly niche amid declining monoculture, contrasted with strong participation growth post-COVID and viewer overlap with players.* NBA-golf parallels: Connections between waning NBA regular season interest and rising personal golf fandom, including entrepreneurial YouTube golf content.* Family and aging into golf: How mid-life dads (around age 40) increasingly play golf with kids due to modern parenting trends, unlike past generations.* Player personalities: Comparisons of “boring” narratives around Scheffler, Rickie Fowler, Steph Curry, and Mike Trout; Scheffler's media interactions and focus.* Golf's watchability: Why golf suits casual viewing (especially with kids), constant action without stoppages, and unique moments like shots hitting birds.* Broadcasting challenges: Importance of shot selection, pace (e.g., pitch clock analogies), and simplifying stats like strokes gained for fans.* Skill breakdowns: Tiger Woods' elite iron play and lag putting; Scheffler's mid-round adjustments, course discipline, and avoiding risky shots.* Equipment and distance: Debates on tech advances (e.g., TrackMan aiding young players like Spieth), gear's role in driving distance, and need for pro-level limits.* Rory McIlroy's appeal: His humanity, vulnerability, and post-Masters career arc as the most relatable superstar, with older players sustaining power.

Gary Williams breaks down a packed Wednesday on 5 Clubs, starting with a recap of the TGL Finals and Tiger Woods' brief return. Plus, the latest on his Masters status and what to realistically expect heading into Augusta.From there, the focus shifts to the Houston Open and the growing list of players fighting to earn their way into the Masters field.Amy Rogers from Golf Channel joins from Houston to break down the “tournament within a tournament”, highlighting players on the Masters bubble, including those inside and just outside the Top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking. She dives into key names like Nicolai Højgaard, Pierceson Coody, and Rickie Fowler, what they need to do this week, and how the pressure of qualifying impacts performance. Amy also shares insight into the overall vibe on the ground in Houston, from players resetting after a busy stretch to others fine-tuning their games specifically for Augusta.Curt Byrum, Golf Channel analyst & former PGA TOUR winner, offers a player's perspective on Memorial Park and why the course setup favors longer hitters. He discusses how firm conditions, limited rough penalties, and scoring opportunities shape the leaderboard, and which players could take advantage. Curt also touches on Brooks Koepka's recent form, why his iron play and putting are trending, and what it takes mentally to compete this time of year with the Masters looming.Plus, Gary updates the Club 5 rankings, highlights Cam Young's rise to the top, and wraps with this week's picks, sleepers, storylines to watch, and dogs of the week. 5 Clubs airs live on Golf Channel and PGA TOUR Radio on SiriusXM Channel 92. 0:00 TGL Finals 4:55 Tiger returning to Augusta15:25 Amy Rogers25:55 Curt ByrumFOLLOW 5 Clubs: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/5clubsgolf/X: https://x.com/5ClubsGolf Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/5ClubsGolf/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@5clubsgolf

Is it a major? Does it even matter? This week, we dive deep into the crown jewel of the PGA Tour: The Players Championship. Hosted at the unforgiving TPC Sawgrass, this tournament is more than just a massive paycheck—it's a career-defining gauntlet that the world's best players crave and fear in equal measure. In this episode, we trace the tournament's evolution from its 1974 debut to its status as the most prestigious non-major in golf. We explore the architectural genius (and occasional "cruelty") of Pete Dye's Stadium Course and break down why the 17th hole Island Green remains the most nerve-wracking 137 yards in the sport. What we cover in this episode: The History & Vision: How former Commissioner Deane Beman turned 415 acres of Florida swampland (purchased for just $1!) into a "Stadium" for the fans. The "Fifth Major" Debate: Why the strength of the field often surpasses the traditional majors and where the tournament sits in golf's hierarchy in 2026. The Gauntlet of TPC Sawgrass: A look at the "balanced" design that refuses to favor any single style of play—from the bombers to the precision specialists. Iconic Moments: From Tiger Woods' "Better than Most" putt to Rickie Fowler's historic 2015 finish and Rory McIlroy's gritty 2025 playoff victory. Whether you're a scratch golfer or just in it for the Sunday afternoon drama, join us as we break down why "The Players" is the purest test in professional golf.

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.

Joel Zuckerman has written 10 books, including ones about PGA of America Professionals and the legendary course designer, Pete Dye. In his new book, "Gratitude Tiger," Joel talks about how he has expressed his feelings in a unique way, by writing more than 300 Letters of Gratitude. In addition to hearing how and why Joel has written to Rory McIlroy and an array of friends and family, you'll hear from Shane Lowry about his devastating loss at the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches, why the USGA is honoring Tiger Woods, and words from Rickie Fowler about being honored with an award named for Arnold Palmer. So much to have gratitude about, in this episode of "Musings on Golf."

This installment of The 2025 Year in Review does NOT contain any unforeseen interruptions but DOES start with a good, old-fashioned Football Minute! Andy is on the road but joins Brendan and PJ for a quick segment regarding a possible Bears move to Gary, Indiana. Andy cannot believe that Kevin Warren would sit awake in his bed and send this open letter on the week of the biggest game in years. The three also share some thoughts on the first-ever "Golf Channel Games" and find that the format might be the best "alt-golf" viewer experience yet. Unfortunately for the broadcast and its advertisers, no one was suckered into wagering on the event. Andy departs for his own mega-podcast session with Tom Doak, leaving Brendan and PJ to carry the baton for this look back at May and June. PJ begins with the Charles Schwab Challenge, a week where the olds took over both Colonial (on the PGA Tour) and Congressional Country Club (on the Senior Tour). He recaps his drive to DC to take in the Senior PGA in-person and provides plenty of Don Rea content for those wanting more from Part 7. Brendan then heads to "Jack's Place," now a proper noun on big letter hats, for the Memorial presented by Workday. Ben Griffin couldn't go back-to-back starts with a win as he was chased down by - who else? - Scottie Scheffler. Rickie Fowler also used his sponsor exemption for good, qualifying for The Open with a top-ten finish! Joseph LaMagna then joins the recording as PJ shares Cameron Young's triumph at U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying and his ensuing close call at the Canadian Open. The Canadian Open also featured the pro debut of Luke Clanton, who was being treated like Cooper Flagg by the PGA Tour ahead of this momentous occasion. Finally, Brendan, PJ, and Joseph recap the third men's major of the year, the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. They discuss the first-ever episodes of Lunch With The Boys, so much "Championship Rain," and J.J. Spaun's movies of choice, among other amusements from the week. Monday's episode will be a mega-recording as we attempt to finish the Open Championship ahead of Christmas!

The PGA TOUR is changing — but is it changing for the better? With the fall PGA TOUR season headed towards a close, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme take a look some big category and card changes on the way for the 2026 PGA TOUR season. Smylie and Charlie take a look back at the 2025 season to examine how differences in points for signature and full-field events played out, and whether certain players benefited more than others in that structure.

Welcome to The Golfing Mind, the podcast that explores the psychology of golf and the mental habits that separate great players from the rest. Every golfer, from club amateur to major champion, knows what it feels like to lose confidence. One week, the swing feels effortless, the next it's as if you've forgotten how to play. It's a lonely, frustrating place — but it's also part of the game. What matters isn't avoiding slumps, it's knowing how to recover from them. In today's episode, we're looking at how to rebuild self-belief when your confidence has faded. We'll explore the mental traps that make slumps worse, practical steps to restore trust in your swing, and how great players — from Rory McIlroy to Rickie Fowler — found their way back after setbacks. Confidence isn't a mysterious gift reserved for the lucky few. It's something you can rebuild, step by step, with the right mindset and habits. So if you've ever stood over the ball thinking, “What happened to my game?”, this episode is for you. Let's talk about how to rediscover your belief — and your best golf. https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A voiceless Andy joins Brendan! for a Monday morning recording that opens with an all-time story about stolen groceries and freezing ground turkey that isn't yours. After they unpack the unpacking of someone's fridge, the two discuss the latest young winner in pro golf, Michael Brennan. Brennan, the top player on the PGA Tour Americas this year, will skip the Korn Ferry Tour after his runaway win at the Bank of Utah Championship. Andy and Brendan commend Brennan for his performance off-the-tee and note that the venue of Black Desert allowed for the top player to separate from the pack and cruise to a win on Sunday. PJ shares an amusing note from the broadcast that may get some Halloween costume ideas flowing after hearing that Brennan dressed up as Rickie Fowler as a kid. Elsewhere in golf, Steven Alker is the new "Mr. October" AND the new Schwab Cup No. 1 after a big win at the Simmons Bank Championship. Brendan tuned in for some banter between Zinger and Tommy Gainey, who did just enough to secure a place in the Schwab Cup finals and full status for 2026. Andy has some takeaways from watching some late-night International Crown and flags that a former Ryder Cup player is coming for a spot at Adare Manor after this week's DP World Tour event. Fifa Laopakdee won the Asia-Pacific Am, scoring an invite to next year's Masters. ANGC Chairman Fred Ridley spoke at the event and condemned the Ryder Cup fan behavior, which segued nicely into a unsubstantiated rumor about everyone's favorite PGA of America leader. In other news, DJ has re-upped with the 4Aces after his glowing comments about LIV last week and TGL's LAGC got some new investment from an AL Central ownership group that's been reportedly lowballing their Cy Young Award winner. Our annual Halloween costumes episode will be out Wednesday, so submit your ideas to sgsgolfadvice@gmail.com now!

Andy is once again lost at sea on a potentially Great lake, so "The Boys" jump in to recap the first round of the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs with Brendan! After an update from PJ on Don Rea's custom shoes for next month's Ryder Cup, Joseph LaMagna and Brendan dive into an eventful Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Justin Rose exorcised some playoff demons, defeating J.J. Spaun on the third extra hole at TPC Initech. Rose and Spaun locked up automatic qualifier spots for their respective Ryder Cup squads, but the main story was yet another Sunday collapse by 54-hole leader Tommy Fleetwood. Brendan and Joseph discuss Fleetwood's play on Sunday and Joseph shares some insight into an impactful course management decision that may have tipped some off to the impending collapse. Also of note, the Chaplain returned to Scottie's bag for Sunday and Mr. 1,000 shined again in one of the strongest fields of the year. There's plenty of chatter about the "Bubble Boys" of the FedEx Cup Top 50, as Rickie Fowler used his season of sponsor exemptions to cash a trip to Caves Valley, but Jordan Spieth is going home. As per usual this time of year, a lengthy Ryder Cup debate over Spieth's current status unfolds with Brendan playing the role of "public defender" for the four-time major champ. NBC's broadcast left a lot to be desired, worrying the trio about what's to come at the Ryder Cup next month. Elsewhere in golf, LIV had a double playoff at Bolingbrook, Megha Ganne won the U.S. Women's Am, and the President called in to congratulate the latest DPWT winner. After a brief Champions Tour Minute and a few news items, PJ convinces Brendan to give a statement on the Browns finding their franchise quarterback in Shedeur Sanders.

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac spend some time recapping The British Open with former PGA Tour caddie and now co-host of Audacy Podcast ‘Tales from the Tips' Mick Middlemo! Mike, Ali, Beau and Mick discuss if Scottie Scheffler was trolling the golf world when he talked about winning not being his top priority and then going on to dominate The British Open, Scottie Scheffler setting himself up to go on a dominant Tiger Woods type run, if Mick thinks Scottie Scheffler plays to not lose when he gets the lead in tournaments rather than Tiger Woods who played more aggressively when he got the lead because he kind of wanted to embarrass the competition, what Mick thought about Shane Lowry's comments where he said if Scottie Scheffler's feet stayed stayed stable and his swing looked like Adam Scott's then people would be talking about Scheffler in the same way they talked about Tiger Woods, if it's disappointing to Mick that the last three winners and four of the last five winners of The Open Championship have been American, if Mick thinks Rory McIlroy seems more at peace now ever since he got his first career grand slam, if Mick thinks that American golfer and Georgia native Harris English could've done anything different during The Open Championship to win the tournament instead of being the runner-up behind Scottie Scheffler, if Mick thinks that Rickie Fowler finishing 14th at The Open Championship this weekend took away or added on some pressure to Fowler, what Mick is going to be watching on TV between now and the Tour Championship, and Mick also tells Ali, Mike, and Beau the story about how he became a Chicago Cubs fan.

The Morning Shift crew also continues to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves losing 4-2 to the New York Yankees yesterday in the series finale of their three game set, and the Braves losing two out of the three games to the Yankees after a promising start to the series. Mike, Beau, and Ali also talk about how Marcell Ozuna doesn't have any power in his swing right now because he's not healthy. Finally, Mike, Beau, and Ali close out hour three by diving into the life of Beau “Squidbilly” Morgan in The Life of Squid!

It's a throwback audio episode with Brendan using his Airpods after finding himself in a travel delay. Nevertheless, Andy is on cloud nine over on Westy Island after Lee Westwood qualified for this month's Open Championship at Royal Portrush. The two reminisce about Westy's t-4 performance and stand-up morals at the 2019 Open before running through the rest of the 2025 qualifiers from overseas. They are particularly chuffed by Richard Teder, a 20-year-old from Estonia who holed out for eagle in a playoff to secure his spot at Portrush. Andy wonders if Dick Teder is the first player in a new generation of golfers - the Rory (Sabbatini) generation. LIV's 2026 schedule was leaked and the league won't make a stop in the United States until mid-May. Brendan and Andy run through the dates and the travel plans needed to play at majors throughout the world, such as going from Spain to Shinnecock Hills for the U.S. Open. From there, it's time for some lock-hammer-fire picks for the John Deere Classic at TPC Deere Run. The "Champion House" is back and is sure to be catnip for the entirety of the week. It's the strongest field in tournament history and there's no better example of that than Rickie Fowler returning to the Quad Cities for the first time since 2010. Andy shares a little 2010 time capsule to contextualize how long its been since Rickie played the Deere and gets Brendan to sing along to some Ke$ha on a Tuesday afternoon. In news, Adam Schupak reported that numerous PGA Tour legends are unhappy that they've been cut out of the new equity program coming as part of the PGA Tour Enterprises company. 36 former players will receive money based on a "career points" system that prioritized PGA Tour wins and starts, leaving European stars like Tony Jacklin and Nick Faldo on the outside looking in. They are, predictably, unhappy and voiced their displeasure to Golfweek, leading to a lengthy discussion from Andy and Brendan. Tune in to CBS Sports Network at Noon ET on Wednesday, July 2, for the Team Europe Wheel of Mules on "Eye on Golf with The Shotgun Start."

Another week, another Sunday episode reacting to a Scottie Scheffler win on the PGA Tour. Andy and Brendan recap Sheriff Scottie's 16th career victory after he defeated Ben Griffin by four shots at The Memorial. Brendan reads through some stats to help put Scottie's three-year run in some historical context before Andy runs through Scheffler's 2017 Walker Cup teammates to show how much his game has improved in eight years. The two are downright giddy that Ian Baker-Finch dropped a "Sheriff" on the broadcast on Sunday which was promptly added to the soundboard. Andy and Brendan also tie up some loose ends on The Memorial by chatting about strong weeks from Ben Griffin and Sepp Straka. Speaking of good weeks, Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler made the most of their sponsor exemptions and Andy is not happy about these free invites into Signature Events. The U.S. Women's Open had some setup issues at Erin Hills after near-six hour rounds became the norm all week long. Maja Stark won her first major championship, another first-time winner at the U.S. Women's Open. Brendan and Andy also discuss Lexi Thompson's stance that she did not "retire" after her sendoff last season. The two then finish up the recap portion of the show with notes from the Austrian Open and a playoff edition of Champions Tour Minute before previewing "Golf's Longest Day" on Monday, even though the name may no longer accurately describe the event.

After yet another Scottie Scheffler win against a strong field on a challenging golf course, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme zoom out to examine the formula that makes Scottie great, and whether his best attribute might be something other than his elite ball-striking. SK and CH also discuss some bold comments from Jack Nicklaus, and what his statement means about Scottie's place alongside Jack and Tiger Woods as one of the greatest to ever play golf. Smylie and Charlie also discuss the latest Ryder Cup standings - in particular, one player who is looking like a lock after a season of consistency and durability. Jordan Spieth and Keegan Bradley are also discussed as they continue to build cases for captain's picks, and why they would or wouldn't be selected. Finally, we review big changes to the Tour Championship format, what we expect to see at East Lake in a few months, and whether a more creative solution could have been chosen to conclude the PGA TOUR season.

Ten years ago, Rickie Fowler won The Players in one of the most exciting finishes in the history of the PGA Tour. It seemed like he had arrived as the next great player. The fact that it didn't quite work out that way shouldn't lessen the magic of that Sunday, or how we feel about Rickie a decade later.

A Saturday finish at the Farmers Open allowed for a Sunday morning recording, so Andy and Brendan went live on YouTube to recap Harris English's fifth PGA Tour win. English gets his flowers as a worthy champion and true professional, shooting a 73 with 12 straight pars to secure a win. Most of the Torrey chatter is about slow pace-of-play yet again, as even Dottie Pepper called out the long Saturday rounds on the broadcast. In other notables, Luke Clanton finished t15, gaining another point in the PGA Tour U standings, and two of this gambling podcast's picks for the week finished in the top 15 as well. Andy and Brendan then check in on the Game Within a Game for the DP World Tour's event in the UAE, where Big Shot Bob Karlsson was the only one to make the cut of the three options. In news, Andy and Brendan discuss more quotes from PGA of America CEO Derek Sprague about "hitting the pause button" on the proposed rollback. In an interview with Golf Digest, Sprague reiterated that the PGA of America would not be in support of the rollback and expressed a desire for golf leadership to gather "all around the table," as if that hasn't happened before. Sponsor exemptions were announced for the AT&T Pebble Beach this week and, as expected, Jordan Spieth is on the list. He's joined by Gary Woodland, Keith Mitchell, and Rickie Fowler, which leads to a short look at Rickie's current status in the game. Finally, Andy, Brendan, and PJ look ahead to their trip to Florida for the debut of the Ballfrogs against Kevin Kisner and Jupiter Links on Monday night.

Rickie Fowler joins the show (1:25:21) for a few short but entertaining minutes. We talk fatherly advice for Frankie, embracing the early cool guy fame, and being “Rick” vs “Rickie.” Before Rickie, we discuss experiencing the TGL stadium for the first time, the positives and negatives from “The Showdown,” more on Alistair, our very own panelists, and this week's rematch video with Joel Dahmen.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.
