Ryder Cup i 2027 bliver igen med Luke Donald ved roret på det europæiske hold. Englænderen skal forsøge at vinde for tredje gang i træk, denne gang på Adare Manor, men spørgsmålet er om han skal klare det uden Jon Rahm, der holder fast i sine principper. Nicolai Højgaard slap fra Bay Hill med en 24. plads, vi fik endnu en dramatisk afslutning på Arnold Palmers bane, vi varmer op til Players Championship med tre danskere til start, og så taler vi med Sarah Bils, der vandt en af de største amatør-turneringer på kalenderen.

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.

Over 60% of Clare's hotel rooms have already been contacted to provide accommodation by the Ryder Cup's official travel services. Up to 200,000 fans are expected to descend on the MidWest for the biennial golf competition between Team Europe and the United States next September. Clare's Tourism stakeholders, meanwhile, held a major networking event at the Rine Hotel last night, which will also aim to harness the benefits of the Irish Open in Doonbeg and Walker Cup in Lahinch later this year. Clare Tourism Advisory Forum Chair and Hotel Woodstock Co-Owner Seán Lally says it's a "pinch me" moment for the county.

Confidence has been expressed that Clare will meet its accommodation challenges for three international golf tournaments coming to Clare and the MidWest in the near future. Visit Clare's annual 'Tourism Together' conference held at the Rine Hotel in Newmarket-On-Fergus heard, however, that an immense local effort will be required for this county to reap the full benefits. This September, both the Walker Cup and Amgen Irish Open will be coming to Clare, with courses at Lahinch and Trump Doonbeg respectively gearing up for the occasions. Both events are expected to inject millions into the local economy, however industry experts predict this county will see a much greater spending boost from the 2027 Ryder Cup in Adare. Approximately 18 months out from that tournament, the Ryder Cup's Official Travel Services team has already contacted 1,100 out of Clare's 1,800 hotel rooms to source accommodation. Chair of Clare's Tourism Advisory Forum and Hotel Woodstock Co-Owner, Seán Lally says short-term lets will have a huge role to play in meeting overall demand. A presentation from Fáilte Ireland showed the average spend of a golf visitor to Ireland is €2,360 per person. A leading travel expert has cautioned, however, that while Clare has some of the best links courses and coasts to showcase in the Ireland, a plan needs to be put in place to reassure tourists that Ireland is a safe destination to access in the event of prolonged conflict in the Middle East. Eoghan Corry from Travel Extra.ie says there are huge benefits on offer. The Chair of Clare's newly formed Tourism Strategic Policy Committee, meanwhile, wants to see destinations across the county reap the rewards of the increased exposure to come. Ennistymon Fianna Fáil Councillor Shane Talty says all areas of Clare have an opportunity to create return customers.

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?

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!

Darren Clarke has caught 19 permit on a fly—a feat arguably more impressive than winning The Open Championship. Sitting down with Tom Coyne in the Bahamas at his home in The Abaco Club, Clarke happily explains his dual obsessions. He's not just a boisterous Irishman you'd like to meet at a pub, he remains driven by catching the world's most difficult fish and beating the world's best golfers. Clarke opens up about raising his boys after losing their mother and reflects on the miracle of bringing The Open to Royal Portrush following his upbringing during The Troubles. He also breaks down what went wrong at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage and offers a simple solution for Hazeltine.

"The Boys" are back in town for this Wednesday episode, joining Brendan to preview the PGA Tour's return to Riviera. Joseph starts out with a take regarding this week's event "honoring" the local community in the Palisades, setting the tone for this episode early. Brendan, Joseph, and PJ unpack Tiger Woods's pre-tournament press conference, in which he discussed his chances of returning to competitive golf in 2026, a potential Ryder Cup captaincy, and the PGA Tour schedule changes. It seems like Tiger may tee it up on the Champions Tour after all, with PJ already wanting to make travel arrangements for a few select stops later this year. Woods also gave some insight into the hard work he's been putting in on the 2027 PGA Tour schedule, alluding to the California swing being later in the summer, maybe as part of the playoffs. Joseph loves the idea of Tiger's mark on the game being a playoff schedule that he created, and Brendan thinks that the Genesis Invitational should be a "jumbo event" moving forward. PJ runs through his five favorite tee times for the first two rounds and also sets the scene for this week's Aon Swing 5 vs. Sponsor Exemption tracker, now a five-on-five fight for this week only! Joseph passes along Andy's 5 Guys to Monitor before highlighting a favorite tee time of his own. He also initially declines to make a One-and-Done pick before Brendan bullies him into it on air.

LIV Golf has finally gotten the Official World Golf Rankings they’ve been waiting for, but there’s a major catch that has many players and fans frustrated. In this week's episode of The Golf Podcast we'll break down the biggest wrinkle in golf's power struggle right now: LIV Golf finally receiving Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points — and the immediate backlash that followed. After LIV revamped its schedule and format to meet ranking expectations, points are now being awarded right away, but only to the top 10 finishers (and ties) in individual stroke play. That hard cutoff has sparked frustration from players like Jon Rahm, who said it “doesn't seem fair,” and from LIV CEO Scott O'Neil, who argued the policy leaves the vast majority of the field with zero points. We'll explain why OWGR categorized LIV as a “small-field” situation, why no-cut events elsewhere still earn points deeper down the leaderboard, and what this means for players chasing majors, Ryder Cup points, and long-term career opportunities. To put it into perspective, we compare real recent points totals from the PGA TOUR (Waste Management Phoenix Open), LIV's season opener in Riyadh, and the DP World Tour event Patrick Reed won, plus how LIV's winner points stack up against a PGA TOUR alternate-field event like the Puerto Rico Open.

Cori shares her journey from Capitol Hill staffer to leading one of DC's most influential bipartisan organizations, where she's spent the last 15 years convening lawmakers, chiefs of staff, and policy leaders from both parties—often off the record and far from the cameras. Why? Because governing without trust doesn't work. We dig into: How primary elections, fundraising, and social media are warping incentives in Congress What Center Forward's voter behavior study reveals about compromise, values, and civil discourse Why most Americans actually live in the center—but don't show up for primaries How personal relationships (and yes, golf) can break down political walls The real human cost of politics, friendship, and showing up for people during life's hardest moments Plus, Kori opens up about her path to DC, mentors who shaped her career, lessons on leadership and listening, and even her growing connection to the game of golf—including a Ryder Cup experience and a young golfer in the family.

Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 510 - Inside the Ropes: 31 Years as a PGA Tour Rules Official with Joe Terry What really happens when a PGA Tour rules official gets called in? In this episode of the Fore Golfers Network Podcast, we talk with longtime PGA Tour rules official Joe to pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood roles in professional golf. Joe shares how a simple rules misunderstanding after returning from Vietnam sparked a lifelong passion that turned into a 31-year career officiating at the highest level of the game. From his first major championship in the mid-1980s to Ryder Cup pressure cookers and iconic rulings involving legends like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Seve Ballesteros, Raymond Floyd, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods, Joe explains what it takes to apply the Rules of Golf fairly, calmly, and consistently—no matter who's holding the club. This episode dives into how PGA Tour officials prepare for tournaments, why explaining options matters more than giving answers, and how officials navigate subjective rulings versus black-and-white rules. Joe also shares unforgettable anecdotes, including imaginary animal damage claims, color-blind penalty area confusion, and heated match-play confrontations where every word matters. Bill and Joe also explore modern rules controversies, including pace of play enforcement, self-reporting ethics, reputation bias, and how today's players operate under intense scrutiny. From Patrick Reed debates to Rory McIlroy comparisons and Brian Davis' Masters integrity moment, the conversation highlights why transparency and caution define today's Tour professionals. As Joe reflects on his upcoming retirement, this episode becomes both a masterclass in golf rules and a tribute to the officials who protect the game's integrity—often quietly, and always under pressure. ---------------- Subscribe to the FGN Podcast Watch FGN videos on YouTube Check out our other sports pod: Church Pew Sports TEXT or CALL (989) 272-2383 to share your thoughts, comments, suggestions, and questions

Despite a heartbreaking Bears loss to end their season in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs, Andy joins Brendan for what is still a Victory Monday episode of The Shotgun Start. Andy can't believe that Vijay Singh made the cut at the Sony Open and immediately takes a victory lap about hitting the Over-Under of 0.5 Vijay made cuts for the season. There is a brief Football Minute at the start of this episode commemorating a historic Bears season, but the conversation soon shifts to the PGA Tour's Opening Drive, which is now closed after just one event. Chris Gotterup won the Sony Open for his third win in as many seasons and perhaps further exemplifying why he was a Ryder Cup snub at Bethpage. Andy and Brendan discuss Gotterup's advantage off-the-tee that set him up for success at Waialae Country Club and his continued ascendence into the upper tier of pro golfers. The two then unpack other storylines from the first PGA Tour event of the year, such as a top 25 from Jordan Spieth, a made cut from Vijay, a Sunday stumble by 54-hole leader Davis Riley, and a Collin Morikawa missed cut. Andy also brings up Big Shot Bob MacIntyre's comments about his attitude costing him a win at the Sony and wonders if Bob gets a bit too much leeway from fans based on his on-course actions. Nacho Elvira took home the win in Dubai on the DP World Tour after a Shane Lowry collapse on the 72nd hole. Andy and Brendan are thrilled about a win for Nacho and give some props to Lowry for speaking to the media after a tough finish. After touching on the Latin America Am, Brendan shares some of Michael Block's latest comments... about Tiger Woods. Andy cannot believe that Blockie has a platform to throw out a gauntlet to Tiger Woods on the Champions Tour, and Brendan also can't believe Greg Norman is still being platformed to discuss his "loyalty to the PGA Tour." Speaking of loyalty to the PGA Tour, Patrick Reed has said that he'd be open to a return if he was offered the same deal as Brooks Koepka. This episode wraps up with another Football Minute as we put a bow on the Bears and look ahead to a loaded week of pro golf with the 2026 season now underway.
