Will Scottie Scheffler continue to act like Thanos and dominate Jack's Place, or is there a smart way to bet this tournament without him?In this episode of Two Off the Tee, Keith Flemming and Scott Porter break down the 2026 Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village. The guys dive deep into why post-renovation Muirfield Village has become the second toughest non-major venue on tour, featuring brutal 4-inch rye rough and massive penalties for missed fairways. They debate whether you should anchor your DraftKings and FanDuel DFS lineups with heavy hitters like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, or pivot to incredible value plays sitting in the mid-to-low $6K and $7K ranges.Timestamps:0:00 - The Memorial Tournament DFS Picks & Best Bets1:09 - Tournament/Venue Preview (Muirfield Village)12:12 - DFS Plays25:31 - Betting CardWhat you'll learn:Why the real betting value this week lies strictly in top 5, top 10, and top 20 wagers instead of traditional outrights.How to approach a unique 70-player field where nearly the entire pool makes the cut, and how that alters your DFS strategy.Which core anchors are absolute locks for your cash game lineups.Under-the-radar longshots and sleepers—including a wild, statistically backed "old man" narrative play.Players Discussed:Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Sep Straka, Nick Taylor, Sunjae Im, Tony Finau, Tom Hoge, Russell Henley, Cameron Young, Jason Day, Patrick Cantlay, Sam Burns, Alex Fitzpatrick, and Brandt Snedeker."Scottie Scheffler is minus 148 to top five. Like, do you know how insane that is to be minus 148 to top five? It blows my mind." — Scott Porter"Since they've done the renovation... winners have all been heavy favorites who entered the week at 25 to 1 or lower betting odds...

Following Rory McIlroy's repeat at Augusta National, Andy Johnson is joined by 2008 Masters champion and CBS lead analyst Trevor Immelman to recap the 2026 Masters Tournament. Andy and Trevor discuss McIlroy's sixth major championship victory and the path that led him to just the fourth back-to-back win at the Masters. They also highlight a runner-up finish from World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and how a middling Friday round likely prevented him from winning a third green jacket. The two touch on other top contenders from the week such as Cameron Young, Justin Rose, and Sam Burns before briefly looking ahead to next month's PGA Championship at Aronimink.

Congratulations are in order to Sunday’s back-to-back Masters’ winner Rory McIlroy. His 12-under par total was good enough for a one-shot win over Scottie Scheffler. He won a second Masters’ green jacket for his closet. It was McIlroy’s sixth career Grand Slam win. That moved Rory into a tie for 12th place all-time with golf legends like Lee Trevino, Phil Mickelson, and Nick Faldo. Rory McIlroy also became the fourth member of an elite golf club who have won The Masters in back-to-back years. Jack Nicklaus (1965 and 1966), Nick Faldo (1989 and 1990), and Tiger Woods (2001 and 2002) make for pretty good company, indeed. Ironically, Rory McIlroy finished at the same score relative to par (12-under) that he posted through Friday as Round 2 concluded. He led by a record six shots at the halfway point of this golf tournament. Marketing executives at CBS Sports and Golf Channel were sweating bullets on Friday night The media bosses feared that Saturday’s third round might lead to an insurmountable (and very boring) final round on Sunday if McIlroy was up by six or more strokes after Round 3. The Masters usually delivers golf’s biggest television audience of the year. Fortunately for a very nervous media, Rory’s good fortune on Thursday and Friday turned into a “hold on for dear life” weekend of golf survival playing in the trees. Northern Ireland’s top golfer watched his six-shot lead completely evaporate as Round 3 drew to a close Saturday. He went into Sunday’s final round tied with the unshakably steady Cameron Young at -11. More than a dozen other top golfers had moved within five shots of the lead. But no one in the 2026 Masters field mounted a back nine charge on Sunday! Former Shreveport and LSU golfer Sam Burns briefly joined McIlroy and Cameron Young at the top of the leaderboard at -11 Sunday after carding a birdie on his opening hole. Unfortunately, a double bogey 7 on the par-5 second hole quickly dropped Burns from the top of the leaderboard. He never recovered but still finished the tournament at 9-under par and in a tie for seventh place. LIV Golf’s Tyrell Hatton started Sunday seven shots behind the leaders. Even with two bogies during his final round, Hatton posted four straight birdies at one point in his round. He finished with a nifty 66 on Sunday to post a 10-under par total and tied for third place. Georgia native Russell Henley posted a brilliant 3-under score on the front nine and found himself just one shot off the lead at -10 at the turn. Unfortunately, Henley (like so many others chasing the lead) failed to capitalize on the two par-5’s on Augusta National’s back nine holes. He finished at ten under par and tied for third. Cameron Young (a recent winner of The Players Championship) took the lead alone at -12 at the second hole after posting a birdie. Unfortunately, that would be one of just two birdies made by Cameron Young during his final round. He stayed close all day Sunday but consecutive bogies at holes #6 and 7 dropped him out of the lead. Young missed numerous opportunities on the back nine. He would par every hole from #10 through 18 to finish -10 and, yes, tied for third place. Perpetual contender Justin Rose finished second last year to Rory McIlroy after a playoff. On Sunday, Rose mounted a mid-round charge to take briefly claim the lead at -12 after converting three straight birdies. The patrons at Augusta National were solidly behind 45-year old Justin Rose as he was trying to claim his first green Masters jacket. Unfortunately, Rose posted consecutive bogies at #11 and 12 to drop out of the lead for good. He failed to birdie either of the two remaining par-5 holes and finished in a four-way tie for third place at ten under par. Two-time Masters winner Scottie Scheffler started the final weekend on Saturday trailing by a whopping ten shots at 2-under par. He shot a near-perfect bogey-free 67 on Saturday. Scheffler began the final round at -7 and only four shots behind the leaders. Scottie Scheffler started slowly on Sunday. After posting a birdie on the par-4 third hole, he then parred 11 straight holes and seemed unlikely to mount a late charge. Scheffler finally converted birdies on both #15 and 16 to juice the massive crowds and pull within one shot of the lead at -11. Unfortunately, he was unable to birdie either of the final two holes to tie the leader. Scheffler’s closing round of 69 climaxed the first bogey-free final 36 holes of golf played at The Masters since 1942! He finished alone in second place – just one shot behind Rory McIlroy. Rory kept his head above water just long enough to grab a second consecutive green jacket McIlroy posted a torrid 12-under par score on Thursday and Friday to take a six shot lead into the weekend. His second round on Friday featured six birdies over the closing seven holes. He literally couldn’t miss for nearly two hours. McIlroy punched out of the trees after wayward tee shots and still birdied the par-5 holes. He even birdied hole #17 after producing a timely 30-yard pitch shot all the way across a lightning-fast green and into the cup. Those two stellar rounds of 67 and 65 gave McIlroy the largest 36-hole lead in Masters history. Only an epic collapse by Rory would save the day for CBS’s television coverage over the weekend. And that’s exactly what (almost) happened Saturday saw a talented pack of competitors rally up the leaderboard as Rory’s early magic faltered. After struggling to a one-over par 73, McIlroy’s entire lead vanished during the third round of play. In the opening holes on Sunday, Rory McIlroy still looked shaky at times. He double-bogeyed the par-3 4th hole by taking three putts from five feet away from the cup. McIlroy added another bogey at the par-3 6th hole to drop to 9-under par and briefly fell two shots behind playing partner Cameron Young. That’s when Rory McIlroy finally steadied his nerves and golf game as a number of competitors failed to apply much pressure over Augusta National’s slightly easier final nine holes. McIlroy (known for his go-for-broke playing style) took a big risk by taking aim at the flagstick on the treacherous par-3 12th hole. Rae’s Creek has claimed many final round victims (ask Jordan Spieth) if your golf ball should come up short or fade toward the adjacent water hazard guarding the green. Rory McIlroy’s tee shot at #12 finished less than seven feet away the cup. It was the closest shot to the hole on Sunday. He rolled-in that birdie putt to reach -12 and never lost the lead again. Rory McIlroy’s final round one-under par 71 wasn’t a classic round of golf. However, it was good enough for him to capture a second straight green jacket at The Masters. Other Masters takeaways By virtue of his top-15 finish, England’s Justin Rose will return to play The Masters again next year at age 46. Rose has finished second at The Masters three times and was tied for third place on Sunday. Fans (oops, I mean patrons) would love to see Rose finally break through and win his first green jacket in 2027. It might produce an 18th hole celebration similar to that heard in 1986 when 46-year old Jack Nicklaus claimed his sixth and final Masters title. Expect LIV Golf’s Bryson DeChambeau to be spending a lot of “beach time” this week. The long-hitting fan favorite missed the cut in this year’s Masters after a couple of sand traps doomed his chances of competing this weekend. DeChambeau took three shots to exit the sand on #11 during Thursday’s opening round in carding a triple bogey. During Friday’s second round, Bryson needed an up and down from a greenside bunker at #18 in order to make the 36-hole cut and play this weekend. His first shot from the bunker came up a foot short but rolled back down into the trap. Those sand shot issues led to a couple of triple bogies, a 6-over par finish, and an early trip home. Expect Bryson DeChambeau to be spending a lot of time in the sand this week! One final odd thought. The Masters tournament proudly continues to offer $1.50 sandwiches to hungry patrons made from either Pimento cheese or egg salad. A rather creative Masters merchandiser began selling golf hats featuring the names of those two classic bargain-priced sandwiches. No, the hats do not go for $1.50! One particularly creative fellow wore his Masters “Egg Salad” hat and sat in the same spot at the back of the 16th tee box for the television cameras to see him – every single day of the tournament. I wouldn’t want to be standing all day behind the “Egg Salad” guy at the 16th hole, would you?

Andy and Brendan are live in Augusta to recap a full day on the ground at the first round of the Masters. It's early, but the course is in exquisite condition and primed for a stupendous final 54 holes. They ponder if the course conditions, which are firm with no real moisture on the horizon, could prompt some player complaints or a become a situation worth #monitoring over the next three days. Then they get to the leaders at the top of the board, like the defending champ Rory McIlroy and how the very plausible title defense somehow flew under the radar. They discuss Sam Burns's impressive first round, Scottie hanging tough in late conditions, and how the P in Pat Reed stands for “PROBLEM.” Grumpy Bob MacIntyre is also dispensed with following a tough first day, and the two LIV pillars of Bryson and Rahm are put in the crosshairs. They hand out some awards, like the Good Guy Gerry award, Best and Worst shots, and more from day 1. They close by emptying the notebook with some amusing odds and ends and then go over Storylines that No One is Talking About.

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.

Sam Burns says there's "not a lot of real reasons for markets to sell off," making the case for Santa Claus to deliver a market rally. However, he points to other sectors gaining traction after tech fell out of favor, a trend he sees benefitting the markets long-term.

It is NOT a Victory Wednesday (or Tuesday) episode for Andy, but he's back to join Brendan! for a preview of some September golf throughout the world. Things kick off with a quick Champions Tour Minute highlighting Thomas Bjorn's win in St. Louis that was ignored on Monday's Walker Cup recap. Bjorn took home one of the more interesting trophies in golf at the Stifel Charity Classic before working as an AssCap for Team Europe in a few weeks. Speaking of Ryder Cup preparations, 10 of the 12 Americans are in the field at the ProCore Championship in Napa. Tuesday's practice round has already brought some early "pods" and potential pairings. Scottie Scheffler looks like he'll run it back with Russell Henley after a strong showing at the Presidents Cup while his deputy, Sam Burns, played a round with Mr. 1,000 and No-Hat Pat. Team Europe is also gathering this week - they're almost all in the field at the BMW PGA at Wentworth in England. Rory McIlroy had some insightful comments regarding his future schedules in his pre-tournament press conference and stopped just short of naming some events he doesn't particularly care for. Also teeing it up at Wentworth is defending champion Billy Horschel, who makes his return to competitive golf following a mid-year injury. To preview this week's Champions Tour event in South Dakota, Andy runs down the Schwab Cup standings and once again wonders who Ricardo Gonzalez is. In news, future Champs Tour star Tiger Woods was seen hitting balls on a New Jersey range on Monday, sending the internet into a storm, per usual. To close the show, Andy comments on Monday night's Bears loss to the Vikings and has some questions about Caleb Williams.
After this morning's Ryder Cup roster announcement, Andy Johnson is joined by The Athletic's Gabby Herzig to react to Keegan Bradley's captain's picks for Bethpage. The two unpack the six selections and Bradley's choice to not participate as a player, instead opting to select Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, and Sam Burns from the group on the roster bubble. Andy and Gabby discuss potential pairings for the Americans at Bethpage Black, including who plays with Bryson DeChambeau in his return to the Ryder Cup. They then transition into some Tour Championship cleanup as Gabby shares on-the-ground insight from Tommy Fleetwood's first PGA Tour win. Andy and Gabby close things out by wrapping up the 2025 PGA Tour season and choosing their favorite events and winners from this year.

Keegan Bradley just revealed his Ryder Cup picks—and fans can't believe he left himself off the team...but was it the right choice? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we'll break down what might be the most talked-about Ryder Cup captain's picks in years. Keegan Bradley has officially revealed his U.S. team for Bethpage Black—and in a shocking twist, he left himself off the roster. We dive into the big question: did Keegan fold under the pressure of being both captain and player, or was this an unselfish move to give Team USA the best chance to win? You'll hear our thoughts on legends like Tom Watson saying a playing captain “just can't be done,” Rory's take from the European side, and Keegan's own words from the press conference. We also go pick-by-pick through the roster, debating who was snubbed, who might have been a safer choice, and whether names like Collin Morikawa, Cameron Young, and Sam Burns were really the best options. Could Keegan himself have been the hotter hand heading into the event? And how will rookies like Ben Griffin handle the Ryder Cup spotlight? With the U.S. desperate to avoid another home loss, every decision matters. Join us as we analyze the roster, weigh the risks, and ask if Bradley's bold call will pay off—or haunt Team USA.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Omega European Masters -Discussing top 9 on odds board -1 matchup -2 t10's -2 outrights (16/1 & 18/1) -Sleeper, Best Bet The Golf Preview Podcast on Pregame's Network (0:12 – 0:29) set the stage for this week's deep dive into PGA Tour and DP World Tour betting picks. Host Will Doctor brought sharp insights, beginning with the headline story of Tommy Fleetwood's first PGA Tour win at Eastlake, a monumental 2025 moment for golf betting fans. From Memphis to the BMW, Fleetwood's heartbreaks turned into motivation, showing resilience and class (0:39 – 9:23). Doctor highlighted upcoming DP World Tour action, including the Omega European Masters at Crans-sur-Sierre, where Matt Wallace defends in the Swiss Alps. With Matthew Fitzpatrick at 9-1, Alex Noren at 14-1, and Aaron Rai at 16-1, the field is stacked. He also previewed the Irish Open, the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, and the high-stakes Korn Ferry Tour Finals with thirty PGA Tour cards on the line, key storylines shaping fall golf betting. Alex Noren (9:23 – 9:49) celebrated his first victory in seven years, returning from injury with elite iron play and renewed confidence. Will Doctor noted profitable tickets cashed on Fitzpatrick and Smylie, while Rasmus Højgaard locked in his Ryder Cup spot despite missed chances (9:49 – 11:04). Fleetwood's breakthrough was the season's most-watched non-major, with over 4.4 million viewers, a massive data point for PGA Tour betting relevance. Fleetwood's own reflection (11:05 – 11:30) captured the moment: one win as the foundation for many. Yet betting cards saw setbacks with Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland, and Ludvig Åberg falling short (11:31 – 39:00). Only Sam Burns delivered, finishing top ten and strengthening his Ryder Cup candidacy. Doctor analyzed Ryder Cup projections, calling for Scheffler, Schauffele, Henley, English, DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Cameron Young, Ben Griffin, and Sam Burns to form Team USA, while Cantlay's runner-up finish secured his place. Team Europe, led by Luke Donald, is anchored by Rory McIlroy, Fleetwood, Rose, Hatton, and Højgaard, with Lowry, Straka, Åberg, Hovland, Fitzpatrick, and Rahm likely filling out the roster. The Omega European Masters odds board was then dissected in detail. Fitzpatrick's strong form made him one to watch but not a pre-tournament bet at 9-1. Noren at 14-1 presented elite value, while Aaron Rai's struggles with the putter kept him off Doctor's card. The spotlight shifted to the Højgaard twins, with Nicolai at 16-1 and Rasmus at 18-1, both primed to contend at altitude. Marco Penge's explosive driving but inconsistent putting made him a risky choice. Wyndham Clark at 25-1 drew intrigue, though erratic driving raised concerns. In betting matchups, Oliver Lindell over Yuki Ichikawa emerged as a sharp play. Doctor's official card closed with Noren to top ten at +125, Rasmus Højgaard to top ten at +187, Nicolai Højgaard outright at 16-1, Rasmus outright at 18-1, Sami Välimäki as a sleeper to top ten at +350, and Nicolai Højgaard to top ten as the best bet at +162. These Omega European Masters picks provide actionable golf betting insights backed by recent form, strokes gained data, and Ryder Cup momentum. The Golf Preview Podcast (ending timestamp) delivered a comprehensive breakdown of PGA Tour betting, DP World Tour odds, Ryder Cup team construction, and European Masters predictions. For golf fans and bettors alike, the combination of statistical insight, player performance analysis, and betting recommendations made this preview essential. Pregame's coverage positioned the Omega European Masters as a premier betting opportunity in late summer golf, where smart wagering strategies could turn form analysis into profitable outcomes.

Tommy Fleetwood has finally won a PGA Tour event. Naturally, this episode starts elsewhere, as Andy and Brendan immediately jump into some quotes from Robert Garrigus and James Hahn. As told to Adam Schupak, these men are very unhappy about the PGA Tour's continued shift toward Signature Events. Garrigus challenged Jordan Spieth to a match for his "five sponsor exemptions" into Signature Events next year and Hahn wants Brian Rolapp to get his phone number from Jay Monahan. This sets Andy off, wondering which players should feature in the "Mule Derby." Things eventually get back to the Super Bowl of Golf, won by Tommy Fleetwood after four rounds of preferred lies. Tommy held off "Playoff P," Keegan Bradley, Russell Henley, and a half-hearted charge from FedEx Cup fourth-place-finisher Scottie Scheffler on Sunday. PJ questions whether this Tour Championship should even count as Tommy's first win, but Fleetwood is now Mr. 1,001 regardless. Andy and Brendan discuss the week at East Lake and give Tommy his flowers for landing the plane on Sunday afternoon. With the U.S. Ryder Cup team set to be announced on Wednesday, it seems like Keegan Bradley will select himself, leaving one of Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, or Sam Burns at home. There's a lengthy discussion about what Keegan should do, but everyone agrees things are trending toward him being a playing captain. The European Ryder Cup team also got a boost on Sunday, with Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton teaming up to win the LIV Team Championship in a playoff. Elsewhere for Europe, Rasmus Hojgaard qualified on points, all but locking up their 12 players. Brendan is unsure of how Rasmus accumulated enough points to make the top six and questions whether all points lists should go away for the 2027 Ryder Cup. Stew Cink went back-to-back at the Ally Challenge, beating Ernie Els in a playoff in Michigan and Brooke Henderson won her national Open on the LPGA. Finally, President Trump declared that he's in favor of Keegan Bradley's playing captaincy and said he will be attending the Ryder Cup on Friday. Will he chop it up with Don Rea? That remains to be seen.
Will Doctor, the sharpest golf handicapper in the game, is back with a loaded episode breaking down everything from Ryder Cup scenarios to this week's Tour Championship and British Masters betting boards. Doc starts by recapping the BMW Championship and Danish Golf Championship before diving into the Tour Championship at East Lake, analyzing the top four names on the odds board. From there, he gives out two picks to place, one outright winner, and one outright winner without Scottie Scheffler, his sleeper of the week. The East Lake preview wraps up with two DFS lineups, a scoring prediction, and Doc's best bet. Stick around until the end as Doc takes you across the pond for the BetFred British Masters, giving out an outright, a matchup, a Top 10, and his best bet of the week. The 2025 Tour Championship at East Lake marks the season finale with a fresh twist: no more staggered scoring. All thirty players begin at even par, turning this into a true head-to-head battle for a $40 million purse and the FedEx Cup trophy. Scottie Scheffler arrives as the clear favorite after winning the BMW for his fifth victory of the year. His numbers are staggering: thirteen straight top-8 finishes, five wins, two majors, and a putter that has finally come alive under Phil Kenyon. At +180 odds he's expected to dominate, and he could become the first back-to-back FedEx Cup champion. Challengers include Rory McIlroy, a three-time winner here, though his driving has been erratic. Viktor Hovland, champion in 2023, has regained form with strong approach play and improved putting. If the forecasted rain softens the greens, he could thrive. Rising star Ludvig Åberg looks primed for a breakthrough after stringing together flawless all-around stats, and Sam Burns carries momentum from a top finish at the BMW while fighting for a Ryder Cup spot. Ryder Cup implications loom large. Europe's lineup is mostly settled, with McIlroy, Hovland, Rose, Hatton, Fleetwood, Lowry, Straka, and Åberg locked in. Rasmus Højgaard's recent run secures his place, while Matthew Fitzpatrick looks safe despite a poor Cup record. For Team USA, the top six are set, but captain Keegan Bradley must decide among Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Bradley himself, Brian Harman, Griffin, and McNeely. East Lake is the final audition, with Burns and Cameron Young also capable of forcing their way in. Scheffler is the man to beat, but East Lake has a history of drama — Rory's comeback in 2022, Hovland's weather-delayed win in 2023, Tiger's unforgettable 2018 victory. This week feels just as loaded. Expect Scheffler to contend for another trophy, but the bigger story may be which players punch their Ryder Cup tickets and who is left behind when the teams head to Bethpage.

With Andy lost in an airport (not at sea), Brendan! once again called upon PJ to step into the "big chair" to close out the second round of the 2025 FedEx Cup playoffs. After he was unable to make history as the defending FedEx Cup champ last week, Scottie Scheffler fought back with a vengeance at Caves Valley. Scottie chased down Big Shot Bob MacIntyre in the final pairing, putting an exclamation point on his latest win with a chip-in on the 17th hole. Brendan shares some insight from his weekend on the ground, covering pace-of-play and a proper showcase of the top 50 players on the PGA Tour. One of those 50, Ben Griffin, had a rocky start to his Sunday and shared post-round that it was due to an "overdose" on creatine, sending Brendan and PJ into a tizzy. Jon Rahm was not in Baltimore, but he was in Indianapolis for LIV's individual season finale. He took home overall champion honors after a Sunday 60, but lost the weekly event to Sebastian Muñoz in a playoff. Brendan and PJ discuss the absurdity of Rahm - who did not win all year - beating out Joaquin Niemann's five-win season for the 2025 LIV title. LIV relegation is also a hot topic as big names now have to play elsewhere next season. The "Lads Club" is in full effect for Ryder Cup Europe with both Harry Hall and Marco Penge having big weeks despite seemingly having no shot at the 12th spot on the European roster. On the American side, Keegan Bradley had a nice Sunday at Caves Valley, but questions remain whether he should pick himself to play at Bethpage following a t-4 from Sam Burns. PJ then celebrates a long-awaited Victory Monday after Dick Green wins the Champs Tour event in Calgary. Brendan wraps up a great week of golf at Olympic Club for the U.S. Am, and shares an unsubstantiated rumor about next year's PGA Tour schedule to end this episode.
Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the BMW Championship and best outright ticket for the Danish Golf Championship -Reviewing Memphis featuring sound from Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Scottie Scheffler -Rickie Fowler sig. event points situation, hearing from Fowler on performance in Memphis -Ryder Cup scenarios featuring sound of Cantlay discussing Ryder Cup hopes and Keegan's dilemma -Discussing top 7 on odds board at Caves -1 matchup, 1 t10 -1 BMW outright (40/1) -Sleeper, 2 FRL, 2 lineups, scoring -Best Bet -Danish Golf Championship outright (35/1) Will Doctor opens with energy, introducing the BMW Championship at Caves Valley as week two of the FedExCup Playoffs and recapping a dramatic Memphis finish where Justin Rose, at 175–1 odds, claimed his 12th PGA Tour title by birdieing four of his last five holes to beat J.J. Spaun. Rose described his win as stoic, marked by determination and calmness, admitting that focus on execution muted his joy in the moment. Tommy Fleetwood, seeking his first PGA Tour win, led after 54 holes but faltered, finishing second; he emphasized gratitude for fan support and the importance of learning from close calls. Scottie Scheffler briefly shared the final-round lead but lost nearly 1.5 strokes putting on Sunday, missing the playoff by one. Key FedExCup changes saw Kitayama, Cauley, Fowler, Vegas, and Poston move into the top 50 while Potgieter, Spieth, Knapp, Clark, and Martin dropped out. Fowler, who finished T6, knew roughly a top 10 was needed and edged Chris Kirk by one shot to advance. Doctor defended Fowler against criticism over sponsor exemptions, blaming reduced field sizes for controversy, and highlighted that Memphis drew 3.6 million viewers, the best since 2018. Doctor's betting card suffered as Scheffler's Sunday putting cost multiple wagers. Brad Payne, caddying for Scheffler, noted good putts simply didn't fall, while Scheffler praised Spaun's grit. A win came via Jacob Bridgman over Potgieter, but Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, and Harris English underperformed. On the European Tour, a bet on Christopher Broberg failed as Grant Forrest prevailed. Ryder Cup standings for Team USA show locks in Scheffler, Spaun, Schauffele, Henley, DeChambeau, English, and Thomas, with Morikawa, Bradley, McNeely, and Novak on the bubble. Contenders like Young, Cantlay, and Goderup remain in play. Cantlay endorsed Bradley's inclusion if he were captain. Team Europe's locks include McIlroy, Rose, Fleetwood, McIntyre, Hatton, Straka, Lowry, Oberg, Hovland, and Fitzpatrick, with Højgaard and Wallace vulnerable; Jon Rahm will take a spot, and others could qualify with strong finishes. Caves Valley's redesign features rebuilt greens, narrowed fairways, and lengthened holes, now a par 70 over 7,600 yards. Doctor reviewed top contenders: Scheffler's form remains strong despite a caddie change, McIlroy's driving accuracy is a concern, Schauffele and Thomas struggle with consistency, Fleetwood and Oberg offer solid form but questionable value, and Cantlay's price is too short given recent results. This week's picks include Fowler over Lowry, Sam Burns for a top 10, Matthew Fitzpatrick outright at 40–1, and Denny McCarthy as sleeper top 10. First round leaders are Scheffler and Burns. The DraftKings lineup features Young, Burns, Fitzpatrick, Fowler, McCarthy, and Novak, with Scheffler as best bet for top American. Doctor also tips Sami Välimäki to win the Danish Golf Championship at 35–1, citing improved iron play and consistent driving and putting.

Andy and Brendan are back home after a week in Pittsburgh (which some have called the No. 1 city in Ohio) and begin this episode with some U.S. Open cleanup. They double back on some takes from Sunday's show regarding J.J. Spaun possibly being a "flukey winner" and the Sam Burns rule situation on the 15th hole of Sunday's round. After closing up shop on Oakmont, attention turns to Tuesday's announcement of Brian Rolapp as the first-ever CEO of the PGA Tour. Andy and Brendan run through Rolapp's background as a longtime NFL executive and discuss the plan to "sunset" Jay Monahan at the end of 2026. Picks for this week's Travelers Championship are made, with the added bonus of new headset microphones in rotation! There's some Don Rea chatter ahead of the KPMG Women's PGA in Frisco and more men's major championship golf is on your televisions this weekend at the Kaulig Companies Championship at Firestone.

Andy and Brendan went live in front of a studio audience at Local Remedy Brewing in Oakmont to recap the second round of the 2025 U.S. Open. They discuss an... interesting... leaderboard heading into the weekend, headlined by Sam Burns after a Friday 65.

They two then run through the big names who won't see the weekend, including Bryson DeChambeau, Shane Lowry, and Ludvig Åberg. There's some scuttlebutt from the grounds, some live audience interaction, and much more whimsy on this Friday the 13th recording.
