Europa führt nach den Freitagssessions 5 ½ zu 2 ½ – wir sezieren die Foursomes, Keegan Bradleys Set-up, Schefflers Probleme und die Samstags-Pairings in Bethpage Black. Unser Morning Briefing zum Ryder Cup 2025 hat alles: Hinnerk Baumgarten, Bene Staben, Sven Hanfft und Julius Allzeit sprechen über Europas 5 ½ zu 2 ½ Start, die Überlegenheit in den klassischen Vierern, Schefflers Ball- und Partnerfrage, Bradleys Entscheidungen und Bethpage als Matchplay-Bühne. Natürlich werfen wir auch einen Blick auf die Samstags-Pairings und geben unsere Prognose ab, wie es nach zwei stehen könnte. Warum lief es bei Europa so gut? Wir haben eine Erklärung: Teamchemie, klar definierte Rollen und sauberes Course-Management machen den Unterschied: Jon Rahm/Tyrrell Hatton retten einen zähen Start und drehen das Match, Rory McIlroy/Tommy Fleetwood harmonieren, Matt Fitzpatrick glänzt. Die USA wirken dagegen oft erzwungen; Keegan Bradleys „Birdie-Festival“ spielt Europas präzisen Eisen in die Karten. Diskussionen gibt's auch um Personal: fragwürdige US-Pairings (u. a. Morikawa/English), während Luke Donald ruhig und präzise führt. Im Fokus steht natürlich auch Scottie Scheffler: Im Vierer mit Russell Henley kollidieren Ball-Charakteristik und Schlaglängen – ein technisches wie psychologisches Thema im Teamformat. Bethpage Black entpuppt sich derweil als hervorragender Matchplay-Kurs: harte Abschläge, erhöhte Grüns, viel Spin – und Bunker, die zu viel Sand haben? Wir ordnen die Samstags-Foursomes (u. a. DeChambeau/Cameron Young vs. Fitzpatrick/Ludvig Åberg; Harris English/Colin Morikawa vs. McIlroy/Fleetwood) ein, erklären, warum Foursomes die Königsdisziplin sind, und wagen eine nüchterne Prognose für den Mittag. Zum Schluss der Schlenker nach Mecklenburg: Bernhard Langer begeistert bei den WINSTONgolf Senior Open mit einer 62 (-10). Morgen analysieren wir weiter – mit Gast Marcel Siem. Highlights: · Europas Vierer-Stärke: klare Rollen, bessere Abstimmung, mehr Birdies · Schefflers Vierer-Dilemma: Ballwahl, Pairing, fehlender emotionaler Leader · Keegan Bradleys Set-up: „Birdie-Kurs“ nützt Europas präzisem Eisen-Spiel · Bethpage Black als Matchplay-Bühne: Spin, erhöhte Grüns, heikle Bunker · Samstags-Pairings im Check: DeChambeau/Young, Morikawa/English, Schauffele/Cantlay, Henley/Scheffler Ryder Cup Song: Musik und Text Lars Drewes
Will Doctor gets you ready for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black this week. Will covers every golfer in the field for the Americans and Europeans. Will dives deep into who and what he thinks is the best strategy for your betting approach. Will Doctor (0:15 - 0:28) opened the show welcoming listeners with energy and promising sharp Ryder Cup insights. Will Doctor (0:33 - 55:37) recapped the fiery ceremonies, noting Luke Donald's criticism of U.S. systems, Keegan Bradley's Farmingdale roots, and Kathy Hochul's repeated boos. He framed the 45th Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black as electric and immediately criticized the U.S. for starting with alternate shot, pointing out Europe's 51–37 advantage in that format since 2002 and calling the decision “an act of insanity.” He explained the point structure—28 total, Europe needs 14 to retain, U.S. 14.5 to win back—and emphasized Europe's chemistry, with 11 of 12 returning from 2023, compared to a U.S. side rusty after limited recent play. He highlighted the strength of the American roster with Scheffler, Henley, Schauffele, and Thomas but reminded listeners that past U.S. teams with world number ones still lost. Missing veterans like Spieth and Koepka left the squad without seasoned leaders. On Bethpage, he called it a “1936 masterpiece” demanding precision, but said rain-softened conditions and trimmed rough may neutralize its difficulty. On players, Scheffler was praised as “the best long iron player in the game,” likely paired with Henley. J.J. Spaun was credited for elite irons and big-moment poise. Schauffele's experience (14-8-0) was countered by wild driving, while Henley's consistency made him invaluable despite lacking distance. Harris English's poor irons raised doubts, while DeChambeau was seen as a potential difference-maker if paired with a “marksman” like Spaun or Griffin rather than Thomas, whose ball striking woes made him “statistically the worst player on this American team.” Morikawa's poor prep suggested limited use, while rookies Griffin and Cameron Young were urged as sparks, with Young called the “hometown kid” who should be unleashed early. Cantlay's 15-6-1 team record earned a call to play every session, and Burns's putting strength positioned him as a best-ball asset. On Europe, McIlroy was expected to thrive on softened fairways and pair again with Fleetwood, whose form and partnership history made him a projected star. McIntyre was labeled a weak link due to shaky ball striking, while Rose was respected for veteran leadership but doubted for heavy use. Rasmus Højgaard was called a “sneaky weapon” in four-ball, Hatton reliable in foursomes with Rahm but risky in singles, and Lowry and Straka limited by putting and approach struggles. In contrast, Åberg and Hovland were described as statistical machines, with Hovland “a major problem” for the U.S. Fitzpatrick, historically poor at Ryder Cups, was forecasted to break through thanks to sharp recent form. Rahm's 6-3-3 Ryder Cup record and clutch history, including a win over Tiger in 2018, reinforced his role as Europe's closer. Will ended without picking an outright winner, instead backing Scheffler as top U.S. scorer (+275) and Europe in foursomes (+135), citing their 7-1 domination in 2023. He concluded that softened Bethpage conditions tilt slightly toward Europe but overall make the 2025 Ryder Cup too close to call Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Eddie and Iain chat in a more focussed way about the build-up at Bethpage and after hearing from Luke Donald, Iain has a conversation with US captain Keegan Bradley. Andrew does make a cameo appearance to ask Eddie who he thinks might be the best European player of all time.This bonus episode is in association with DP World. Hosted on Acast.

Well it's here, the week before one of the great golf weekends - the Ryder Cup. But before we get to our preview, a reminder about our Talk Birdie To Me Golf Day at Links Golf and Wellbeing at Hope Island on the Gold Coast, it's now two weeks away (Wednesday October 8th), Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen will be playing the tournament along with 80 or 90 wolfpackers. A few tickets left here. The prizes are brilliant:FootJoy vouchers;Titleist GT Driver and 3 wood with a custom fitting with a Titleist Fitting Specialist;A set of custom fitted Vokey Wedges fitted by a Titleist Fitting Specialist;A couple of dozen Pro V1 golf balls;Golf Clearance Outlet vouchersLuxury Escapes vouchersAnd the hole in one prize from Luxury Escapes: a week at the Pullman Maldives with return flights for two if you if you don't mind! Conditions apply, but there is only 3 conditions - pros ineligible (Nick and Mark you're out), only one prize - so if two aces are hit we do a random draw, and it applies on the 17th hole, which is a gettable Par 3.Fun!Now onto the pod. Nick and Mark are previewing the Ryder Cup, and Mark's first recommendation is to download the Ryder Cup app, it's brilliant. Nick talks about his memories of playing in Europe and feeling almost a part of it, as all the European pros wanted to be involved. Mark has a feeling the crowd, despite the US component being parochial, will lean European as there have been huge amounts of tickets sold to Europeans apparently. We discuss the pay controversy and the difference in approach between the Europeans and the US teams, Mark believes this is bad karma for the US and it will 'bite them'.As usual for a big event, we're putting a Talk Birdie multi on and working in our favour is that Hummer from Betr doesn't know a lot about the Ryder Cup, so we shot through our very gettable multi without any context for him and, in a moment of weakness, he whacked it up.Multi is:Scheffler to not have a winning record for the tournament, into;Europe to lead going into day 3, into;Europe to win.7 bucks. Get on board here under Betr specials and if you're not a member, it's a 60-second sign up process. We are confident, but of course there is no guarantee - so if you can't afford to lose it, don't bet it.We wrap up our Ryder Cup preview pod with some comments from Nick on how they are setting up Bethpage and why, and Nick outlines what he believes the US always get wrong in the Ryder Cup.It's going to be a ripper, we can't wait !!!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.

Welcome back to The Golfing Mind. I'm your host, and with me today are Bobby Ross and Mike Kershaw. As we approach the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, we've got a lot to unpack: captains, strategies, pairings, and – of course – our prediction. On the U.S. side, Keegan Bradley leads the charge. He's confirmed he will not serve as a playing captain, choosing instead to concentrate fully on leadership. He's also close to solidifying his pairings, signalling that much of his game plan is already mapped out. Europe, meanwhile, is captained again by Luke Donald, returning for back‐to‐back Ryder Cups after the 2023 win. His team is almost identical to the one in Rome, with only one change: Rasmus Højgaard replacing his twin Nicolai. Donald's picks are designed for cohesion and experience, with several pairings we expect to stay together through critical sessions. As for pairings, Europe looks likely to lean on combinations like Rahm-Hatton, McIlroy-Fleetwood, Åberg-Hovland, and Lowry-Straka in the foursomes and fourballs. Golfmagic The U.S. pairing sheet is more uncertain, but expect strong-performing veterans to be matched with rising stars – perhaps Thomas with Morikawa, or Scheffler with Burns.

The unbelievable two-year run by Scottie Scheffler continues this week as the U.S. Ryder Cup team members played in Napa Valley in the Procore Championship. With his 6th win this season, Scheffler joined only Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods on the list of players to win 6 or more events in back-to-back seasons on the PGA Tour. Ryder Cup team member Ben Griffin had a chance to force a playoff with Scheffler, but 3-putted for par to lose by a shot. World number 1 amateur Jackson Koivun had his fourth straight top 10 finish on the PGA Tour, while handling the stress of playing in the final group. 11 of the 12 members of the European Ryder Cup team played in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth this week. Ironically enough, the hottest player on the planet not named Scottie Scheffler took the title. Alex Noren, who is a vica captain for the European team beat all of the Ryder Cup members en route to his 2nd BMW PGA Championship. Also in this episode we are talking 4 putts on the LPGA Tour, John Daly makes a massive number and Kapalua not going to be ready for the Sentry Championship this year?

Send us a textTommy Fleetwood's long-awaited breakthrough at Eastlake marks a pivotal moment in golf's mental game saga. After years of Sunday heartbreaks, watching Tommy walk up the 18th with a three-shot lead felt like witnessing the final chapter in a redemption story we weren't sure would ever be written. The revamped FedEx Cup format—where all 30 finalists started on equal footing—delivered exactly the drama and competitive balance golf needed, transforming what Scottie Scheffler had dominated into an unexpected triumph for perseverance.What separates professional golfers from amateurs isn't just technical skill but their remarkable mental resilience. When PGA Tour pros record a bogey or worse, they follow it with a birdie or better 20.7% of the time. Elite players like Scheffler bounce back at an astonishing 35.8% rate. Compare this to recreational golfers who typically spiral after a bad hole, carrying that frustration forward. This stark difference highlights why mastering the mental game—staying present, resetting after mistakes, and focusing on the shot at hand—remains golf's final frontier for amateurs seeking improvement.Beyond the fairways, we're witnessing corporate tactics that would make Columbia Record Club proud. LA Fitness faces FTC charges for implementing nearly impossible cancellation procedures—requiring certified mail, restricting cancellations to rarely available staff members, and continuing to bill customers under different account numbers after supposed cancellations. These modern-day roach motels where "customers check in but don't check out" remind us that consumer protection remains as relevant today as ever. Meanwhile, the contrast between the three-hour Lincoln-Douglas debates (with 90-minute uninterrupted responses) and today's sound-bite political landscape reveals how profoundly our attention spans and discourse have transformed.

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.

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.

SleepyJ and Dave Essler break down the Tour Championship.
It was another win for Scottie Scheffler as he took the BMW Championship for his 5th win of the year and he keeps his incredible 3 year run on the PGA Tour going. Even though he didn't have his "A" game, Scheffler was able to chase down a shakey Robert MacIntyre early on Sunday and shut the door with a dramatic chip-in birdie on the 17th hole at Caves Valley on Sunday. We will talk about the ramifications of the BMW Championship on the Ryder Cup and Tour Championship this week at East Lake as well as other topics surrounding the PGA Tour. LIV Golf finished their regular season as Jon Rahm won the regular season title, without actually winning an event. We will discuss how it could possibly happen that Rahm wins, eventhough Joaquin Niemann won 5 events. The United States Amateur Championship headed west the last couple of weeks as the men played at the Olympic Club and the women at Bandon Dunes. We will discuss both, including an insane run by Jimmy Abdo, who is one of us from here in Minnesota. Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple, Spotify and YouTube for weekly golf content.

Rex Hoggard on the BMW Championship, Scottie Scheffler being a creature of habit, and a look ahead to the Ryder Cup.
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.

This week, we sat down with former University of Utah basketball player and current high school basketball coach Doug Meacham for a deep and inspiring conversation sparked by comments from professional golfer Scottie Scheffler. After winning a major tournament, Scheffler said that while victory brings excitement, his true fulfillment comes from faith and family—not trophies. He shared that he'd rather be remembered as a great father than a great golfer.Coach Meacham, along with Especially for Athletes founder Dustin Smith, explored how keeping sports in proper perspective can ground us, steady us, and make us better both on and off the field. Coach Smith shared the powerful story of a devastating state championship loss and how the five minutes he spent with his team afterward may have been the most important coaching moment of the season.This is a conversation every athlete and coach should hear—a reminder that while the desire to win is important, the lessons learned in the process are what truly last.

Tom Brady is weighing in on the buzz golfer Scottie Scheffler generated a couple of weeks ago when he said he'd much rather be a great dad than a great golfer. On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock unpacks Brady's misplaced priorities and explains why the legendary quarterback is the wrong person to be advising Scheffler. T.J. Moe joins Whitlock to talk about faith, fatherhood, and football. Later in the show, Steve Kim and Whitlock discuss what's going on with the Cleveland Browns and Shedeur Sanders, Marcus Morris' gambling problem, and Skip Bayless' ridiculous comments regarding the shooting in New York City that was meant to target NFL headquarters.
