There never seems to be a quiet week in golf, and this week is no different. But before we get into the show, we touch on our Betr multi which was so close to coming off. Rory did the job, Min Woo feel agonisingly short of the Top 10, and Scheffler had a very good weekend, but a poor Thursday and Friday, missing the Top 5. So close, yet so far away....on the flip side a number of wolfpackers seem to have profited from Nick's dark horse tip of Aldrich Potgieter (including Mark and Dan).Nick is over the moon that his good mate US Tour Pro Austen Truslow won at Paraparaumu at the weekend, his first win, and Nick was commentating so saw the whole thing, and was chatting to Austen on the Saturday night before the final day.Huge win for Jacob Bridgeman at Riviera at the weekend, he hung on to claim the title. Mark did see him doing something that he doesn't like and explains to Nick, who completely agrees. And for Hostplus, this week our That's a Plus recipient is Adam Scott for his wonderful performance in Riviera.The BMW Touch of Class from Nick this week is not awarded to a person, although it sort of is a living, breathing, thing....he explains his choice to Mark.Massive news from the DP World Tour with their announcement of a settlement deal for LIV players which sees a number of them now able to play in certain DPWT events alongside LIV. But one player refused to accept the deal....we discuss.Rumour mill....Nick and Mark separately have some mail on something that, should if come off, would be huge for golf. It involves Golf Australia and LIV. They explain on the pod and read out the texts they have each received on this issue.Royal Melbourne's routing for The Australian Open. Good for matchplay, not for the Open. Mark says that Golf Australia need to 'change it now' before it is locked in.After the Turn, for Betr, the Top 5 toughest finishes in golf on courses Nick has played. #1 is a big one, and contains memories that still haunt Nick! He explains why.Lots of feedback - a message on something that a wolfpacker saw at LIV but has not heard about from anyone else, some suggestions on players who have come back from adversity who you feel Mark missed last week - one Australian male golfer and one international female golfer.Feedback on our Ritchie Smith chat from a week or two ago, and Travis (Sophie's Dad!) has written in after Nick and Mark reviewed 8-year old Sophie's golf technique on the pod last week. And then we hear of another young gun, a 14-year old this time, and Mark shares a text from legendary AFL journalist Mike Sheehan about his 15-year old grandson....the kids are killing it!In the PING Globals Nick runs around the world with all the results, and suggests that Talk Birdie To Me may be responsible for killing off Schefflers run of Top 10's....harsh.And for Golf Clearance Outlet, Mark's masterclass is on Rory McIlroy's impressive bunker play.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.

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 372 setting the stage for the 2026 Prediction Show while reacting to Team USA's Olympic hockey gold and debating why the United States can compete in hockey but not soccer. Mitch checks in from Mariners spring training in Peoria, describing a genuine World Series vibe around the pitching staff — before admitting he needed a personal "attitude adjustment" on 22-year-old second baseman Cole Young. Mitch welcomes back Danny O'Neil, Jason Puckett, and Dave "Groz" Grosby for the 2026 Prediction Show, teasing last year's misses while crowning Puckett as the new champ. The panel makes rapid-fire forecasts on the Seahawks' 2026 season: record, playoff finish, key contract calls (Kenneth Walker, Riq Woolen, Josh Jobe, Rashid Shaheed), draft/free-agent priorities, Sam Darnold's contract future and stat lines, plus big-number projections for JSN and other core pieces. The panel shifts to college football, with Danny projecting a 12-win Washington season and a College Football Playoff berth—while also predicting major turnover with Jed Fisch and Demond Williams gone by 2027. They then pivot to baseball, where Puck and Groz forecast an AL West title and a Mariners trip to the World Series, while Danny takes the contrarian path with 88 wins and no playoffs. The panel finishes Mariners predictions with bold calls on Colt Emerson's debut date, Andrés Muñoz's save total, and the club's World Series outlook—while Danny pegs the Yankees as champions. The conversation widens to NBA expansion in Seattle, where opinions split on timeline and ownership possibilities, and then to the 2026 World Cup, with wildly different forecasts for Team USA. The segment wraps with NBA championship picks, MVP projections, and LeBron James' uncertain future as the Prediction Show heads toward its finale. The panel turns to March Madness, NFL draft projections, and bold NFL quarterback predictions before branching into golf, tennis, the World Baseball Classic, and the Kraken's playoff outlook. Danny calls for Houston to win the NCAA title, Puck backs Arizona, and Groz picks UConn—while wild swings follow on Scheffler majors, Rory's chances, and LeBron's future. The segment culminates with dramatic wild-card predictions, including a potential MLB lockout, a Jamal Crawford-led Sonics return, and a blockbuster Seahawks in-season trade.

Brendan! is joined by an on-site Kevin Van Valkenburg for this Friday episode honoring the Genesis Invitational. KVV shares some scenes from the practice rounds at Riviera before the rain came in and made much of Thursday's first round a wash. It wasn't a wash for this Gambling Podcast, as Rory McIlroy and Jacob Bridgeman both share the clubhouse lead as of this recording. Brendan spent the morning watching along on PGA Tour Live and has plenty of takeaways from the broadcast, including a scoring average graphic that was completely devoid of content. PJ was assigned to watch the "Betcast" on Thursday and points out that there was plenty of Jon Rahm talk on this PGA Tour product despite Rahmbo riding Dumbo at Disneyland this week instead of teeing it up at Riv. Scottie Scheffler is not yet finished with his first round, but he struggled mightily on his front nine. Brendan and KVV recap what we've seen from Scottie so far, adding another poor Thursday to a stretch of many this year. Even with a great round from Rory and Scottie's tough stretch, the news of the day was made elsewhere. Following reports from Geoff Shackelford and Adam Schupak looking into the matter, the PGA of America announced that President Don Rea Jr. has been "reassigned to member-first priorities" for the rest of his term. Brendan reads the full statement and everyone wonders if this is truly the end from Don. There's also some introspection about how much of a role... podcasts... played in this decision. KVV breaks out the Lucas Glover impression at the very end of his chat with Brendan to celebrate the U.S. Open champ being named PAC Chairman. The last half hour of this episode is a reheat of a Flashback Friday from 2021, when Andy and Brendan remembered Ben Hogan's comeback (not to be compared to Anthony Kim's) and "Mr. Icicle."

On this Wednesday “getaway day” edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams sets the table for a loaded stretch of golf and where the PGA TOUR is headed next.Gary opens with thoughts on the grind of pro golf and what's coming at Riviera, then shifts to Tiger Woods' latest comments, especially the small but meaningful note that the Masters isn't off the table. Next, Gabby Herzig from The Athletic joins to break down what she's seeing from Scottie Scheffler as 2026 continues to look like a “maximum ceiling” year. Healthy and nearly impossible to slow down. Gabby also reflects on Collin Morikawa's win at Pebble Beach and what it revealed about his mindset, plus why the mental side of the game is often what decides who gets back over the line.From there, the conversation moves into the bigger TOUR and LIV picture. Gabby shares what she heard from players about Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed returning, why top players still care deeply about beating the best week to week, and how the game is still trying to get to its most competitive, unified version again.Then Gil Hanse joins for a detailed look at one of the biggest design projects in golf. The complete rebuild of The Links at Spanish Bay. Gil explains the aggressive timeline, how the team is reshaping the corridors and green complexes, why expanding greens creates more strategy and more interesting hole locations, and what fans can expect from a routing change designed to maximize the coastline views and that true ground game feel.The episode wraps with Dogs of the Week, updated standings, and the crew's The Genesis Invitational picks heading into Riviera. 5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (Channel 92).0:00 Opening Thoughts 4:05 Reaction to Tiger's Press Conference 10:57 Gabby Herzig29:18 Gil Hanse 49:58 Dogs & Picks of the Week FOLLOW 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
Wow. Anthony Kim take a bow. After some significant personal challenges and demons to work through, this surely is one of time great redemption stories, and we rightly start todays show discussing his performance at LIV Adelaide - particularly his final day performance. Nick has played with Anthony and says that, by his own admission, he could be a difficult character but he has turned that around. Nick shares a text that he received a few months ago from his caddy Wilbur who had spent some time with Anthony and said that he was a changed man.Mark has some stats on Anthony from the last couple of years, that Ryan at the Monday Q Twitter page shared.Rahm's drop. What was that all about? A number of wolfpackers wrote in about it, we all saw it, Mark describes it as 'crazy', although Nick found Bryson's reaction amusing. On Rahm, we have a listen to the audio of him talking about The Australian Open, and Mark tees off again on the date.For Hostplus, Nick says that Rahm playing The Australian Open would be a plus for golf, along with the other big names who might also play it should the date be more favourable.LIV Adelaide was great, and rightly took a lot of the focus, however Pebble Beach was also exciting and Min Woo nearly got home! Morikawa played very well, and Mark says that he deserves enormous credit for recovering from what would have been a difficult week last week for him.For BMW , our Touch of Class this week is the outpouring of support for Anthony Kim after his LIV win. It was great to see.After the turn - we remind everyone of our Betr / Talk Birdie To Me multi - Scheffler to finish Top 5, Min Woo and Rory to finish Top 10 (including ties) at Riviera this weekend. Decent multi and it's paying 19 bucks at Betr, just head to the website or the Betr app, and search Betr specials.....we're right there!Marks Top 5 is players who have bounced back from significant adversity. There's some great stories.The PING Globals from Nick has plenty to discuss - and he diverts for a moment to tell a very funny story about an orangutan.....it sounds strange, but trust us, it's a must listen.Heaps of feedback - lots on LIV, also OWGR points, our Top 10 course list, and we discuss the Huntingdale redo.Nick's masterclass today is inspired by Anthony Kim.And just as we're wrapping the show, Nick gets a text from Wolfgang at BMW who has sent us his Top 10 Australian courses....and he's played them all!We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.

Nicolai Højgaard har haft tre top-4 placeringer siden november, og efter fjerdepladsen i Dubai Desert Classic lovede han en dansk sejr på PGA Touren i år. Det var tæt på i forrige uge i Phoenix, og i dag er Nicolai gæst i Golf Showet, og vi taler med ham om det hele. Anthony Kim stod for en af de vildeste comebackhistorier i sportens verden, da han søndag vandt sin første professionelle turnering i 16 år efter at have holdt pause i 12 år. Vi dykker ned i historien om den mytiske amerikaner. Morikawa vandt Pebble Beach, Scheffler gjorde det næsten igen, Nordic League er tilbage, Charley Hull vandt, og så bliver der debut til Jacob Agerschou i Sydafrika denne uge.

Nick Kostos reacts to Collin Morikawa winning Pebble Beach on Sunday. Plus, Nick thinks Scottie Scheffler is going to win multiple majors this season.
Valentine's weekend was sweet in my world, but bitter across the local hoops landscape. K-State pulls the trigger fast on Jerome Tang, KU's hot run gets chilled in Ames, and Mizzou lays an egg at home that slows their momentum. Yikes. Plus, Royals spring, Olympics, Golf, NBA, Tyreek Hill, and more to soak in!
Send a textWhat happens when a beloved pro-am trades its soul for a signature purse? We unpack Pebble Beach's $20M pivot—fewer celebrity swings, more surgical golf—and the ripple effects on how fans connect with the sport. The charm of mis-hits and Bill Murray lore gives way to Sunday fireworks as Scotty Scheffler drops three eagles and Colin Morikawa turns a 20‑minute fairway wait into a stone-cold birdie to win. It's elite theater, but at a cost: the human texture that once made Pebble feel like a shared secret.From there we head to the WM Phoenix Open, where golf's loudest hole thrives on vision, not accident. We break down how WM's rebrand, zero‑waste engineering, and stadium swagger converted a Tiger‑sparked moment into a sustainability lab with half a million attendees as co‑authors. Love the noise or loathe it, the model blends purpose and party in a way the rest of sports keeps trying to copy.We also zoom out to the stories TV tries to force and the ones that earn the frame: Koepka's shadow versus Scheffler's grind, Hideki's late wobble, and why cameras should follow form over fame. Then it's Super Bowl ad psychology, a CGI bear that sticks in your head, halftime culture flashpoints, and the media incentives that keep outrage on a loop. Finally, we look at Olympic calculus through Eileen Gu's choice and celebrate the universal rhythm of fall, rehab, return—the reason moguls, downhill, and even curling keep pulling us back.If you love golf's edge, sports as spectacle, and the real decisions behind the headlines, you'll feel right at home here.

Balancing a look at current circumstances with a nod to the past, in this episode we examine how our own values, desires, and biases shape our perception of professional golfers—and the “characters” they inhabit within the sport's unfolding drama. While we naturally gravitate toward milestones like Rory McIlroy's quest for the Career Grand Slam or Scottie Scheffler's era of dominance, the ongoing rift between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf has fundamentally redefined player reputations. From “villains” like the defiant Patrick Reed and the polarizing Bryson DeChambeau to “heroes” like the relatable Jordan Spieth, these archetypes serve as mirrors for our own frustrations. Ultimately, we explore whether the modern era is defined by the leaderboard or by the clash of personalities—asking if a player is a “fallen hero” like Phil Mickelson or a “reluctant king” like Scheffler.

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

A feedback pod today with some great comments and questions to run through.We start with Graham who heard Nick's advice last week about not aiming for the flag, and he explains where he aims. Nick and Mark talk about they do, and did when they were on tour. Plenty of feedback on Marks 'gimme' theory from a couple of weeks back.Bean disagrees with Mark and explains why, Andy says gimmes are a slippery slope, Gary believes unmissable putts are too subjective, Peter accuses Mark of a double standard, and Robert reckons the main issue with gimmes has to do with beer. Phew....After the turn, Tom in Arizona has a request for content on the pod...it's a nice idea...! Arthur disagrees with Mark that the BMW PGA should move from Brisbane to Sydney, he wants it to stay where it is. Kevin is a new wolfpacker and is working through the prior episodes and has a question about something Nick and Mark discusses in episode 7 (?!?!?!??!), back in 2023!!!! Welcome aboard Kevin!And then to Duncan. Oh Duncan. He has messaged in defending Monty, and risking incurring the wrath of one Mr Mark Allen.Dave agrees with us from last week that Scheffler is a gun, but says he is not yet run the same conversation as Tiger - and provides some stats to support this. We discuss if Scheffler will get to ten career majors or not.And a couple of final comments from Darren, and Malcolm, both of whom enjoyed the chat with Peter Senior (it was great fun).

What a turn of events for Sam Darnold. After the Vikings let him walk in free agency and the story was about a guy who couldn't win the big games, Darnold has come out on top after beating the Rams in the NFC Championship game and advancing the Seahawks to the Super Bowl. Vikings fans are left wondering what if and the story still has another chapter to write. We review the upcoming Super Bowl and make our picks about who will win. On another note, pettiness does not die after high school, and Bill Belichick will somehow not be a first ballot Hall of Famer. There is a huge conspiracy going around about who in their right mind wouldn't have voted for Bill to make it in. We discuss the joke that has become the NFL Hall of Fame along with the ridiculousness of Shadeur Sanders making the pro-bowl. We also talk Scheffler's dominance and the gripes with tennis players at the Australian Open. Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review! New Waterfowl Film out now!

On this Wednesday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams breaks down what Brooks Koepka's return means for the PGA TOUR — and why the “win” might be as much about the return itself as it is about results. Gary also previews the LPGA season, highlighting the tour's depth, the importance of star power, and why Nelly Korda remains a major driver of mainstream attention as the LPGA continues evolving under new leadership.Frank Nobilo from CBS joins Gary to put Scottie Scheffler's dominance in context — including the sensible way to talk about Scheffler in the same breath as Tiger Woods (and even Jack Nicklaus), what truly separates the greats, and why “closing on Sundays” is the common thread. Frank also weighs in on golf's bigger-picture future: the PGA TOUR's potential schedule contraction, how “less can feel like more,” rotating playoff venues, and why relegation/elevation matters to the product (and the spirit) of the game.Later, Taylor Twellman stops by ahead of the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, where he's competing alongside LPGA stars and celebrities. Twellman shares a powerful story about how golf helped save him after a career-ending concussion, why the sport's mental demands are uniquely challenging, and how he balances focus, flow, and execution over a long round.Plus: Dogs of the Week and picks to close out the show.

Pats and Seahawks move on to the Super Bowl; 6 NFL head coaching jobs filled; AZ, Nebraska and Miami of Ohio undefeated and Scheffler rolls
Is it even a fair fight anymore? As of January 2026, Scottie Scheffler has officially moved from "great" to "historic." With a dominant win at the 2026 American Express, Scheffler has reached the 20-win milestone in just 151 starts—joining only Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the players to hit 20 wins and 4 majors before the age of 30. In this episode, we break down the surgical precision of the man who has turned the PGA Tour into his personal trophy room. We explore his rise from a Texas junior winning 75 tournaments to becoming a Lifetime Member of the PGA Tour. This week, we're diving into: The 20-Win Club: Analyzing the significance of Scottie's latest victory and his record-breaking 1,442-day sprint from his first win to his 20th. Tiger vs. Scottie: The math is finally competitive. We compare Scottie's 2024–2025 stretch to Tiger's legendary 2000 season. Who had the better peak? Inside the Bag: How Scottie leanns on clubs that he trusts, and how his TaylorMade Spider continues to silence the putting critics. The "Major" Hunt: With 4 Majors in the bag, we look ahead to Shinnecock Hills and Scottie's quest for the career Grand Slam at the U.S. Open. Whether you're a die-hard gear head curious about his 7-wood transition or a fan witnessing one of the most consistent ball-striking eras in golf history, this is your deep dive into the reign of Scottie Scheffler.

Scottie Scheffler just notched win No. 20, and Gary Williams makes the case that this isn't a hot streak — it's the start of the Scheffler era. We break down the historic pace (20 PGA TOUR wins and 4 majors before age 30), the margins that separate him from the field, and why the comparisons to golf's all-time greats keep getting louder.Plus, Golf Magazine's Sean Zak joins the show to discuss what makes Scheffler so hard to beat, why his “bad days” barely exist, and what that dominance does to everyone else chasing him. We also touch on Tommy Fleetwood's mindset and what makes him one of the most relatable stars in the game.New 5 Clubs contributor Mel Reid joins Gary to talk LPGA storylines and the evolution of women's golf coverage — including why more live coverage and better broadcast tech matter, how the LPGA can build stronger fan engagement, and the challenges (and upside) of a global tour schedule. Mel also shares her perspective on playing more iconic venues, where mixed events fit (and don't fit), and what stands out most about Nelly Korda heading into the season.Listen to 5 Clubs on PGA TOUR Radio (SiriusXM Channel 92) and watch on Golf Channel.0:00 - 15:40 Scottie's Dominance 16:02 - 32:09 Sean Zak32:25 - 44:35 Mel Reid44:53 - 46:13 Final ThoughtsFOLLOW 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
After a break through January and a fantastic collection of holiday mini's, Nick and Mark are back today with a massive first pod of 2026! So much to discuss, we barely know where to start, so we've decided to just hook in and see where the chat goes.By the way, Nick has come back physically injured - or at least he was, and he's on the mend. Mark has come back emotionally injured due to an issue with his handicap. So both are tender. Dan's fine.We start with the big news a fortnight or so back about Brooks returning to the PGA, what it means, the impact of it, and Nick talks through the PGA 'Returning Member Programme' and what the criteria is. Mark discusses the rumoured offer that may have come, or may be coming, to Bryson - the numbers are mind-bending. Nick says that ironically, given they're not the best of friends, Brooks leaving has given Bryson huge leverage.Mark has gotten in trouble over the break and is not allowed to name his 'source' in the US of much of his rumour and scuttlebutt. He can still reveal said rumour and scuttlebutt, however he just can't name the source.....if you've been listening for a while you will know who that is. But....Mark has said that his mail is that whilst the PGA paid the fine that was on the table for Brooks, they also made the same offer to Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau. The plot thickensWe discuss Elvis Smylie signing with LIV. Nick is good mates with Elvis and Mark wants to know if Nick knew it was coming and kept it from us. Nick is curious about the fine situation - Elvis has told Nick he'll be playing DPWT events, so who pays the fine? Particularly as LIV are now now longer paying Rahm and Hatton's fines. Mark estimates what he thinks Elvis has signed with LIV for. It's a boatload. On fines - Rory had some comments last week about them, and we have a listen to what he said....particularly in the context of The Presidents Cup.Back on Elvis - Mark says having no money concerns is likely to help Elvis' game. Nick disagrees and says often having that much cash can have the opposite effect on a player. Speaking of money. Scheffler has cracked $100 million PGA Tour earnings. Wow. And his stats from 2025 are exceptional, Nick runs through them. Mark raises The Australian Open date (again!), given the next couple of weeks is precisely the time that he feels it should be on, and he explains why he feels that way again, saying Golf Australia should be in a room with Brian Rolapp to organise it, at the very least make the effort to explore it.And we head to the turn by remembering last weeks Hostplus Guest pod with Peter Senior - huge feedback on it, it was a ripper. If you've not yet heard it then go back in the feed and listen or watch, it was a lot of fun. Particularly a certain story involving Spain. And we had a lot of minis over the break - if you were busy with family stuff or away, understandable, but worth catching up when you can - the majority are quite short and easy listens.After The Turn, for Betr, Nick lists the Top 5 things that were surprising to him over the break....unintentional, but there is a LIV lean to the Top 5 including a whack from both Nick and Mark for one particular thing that LIV did recently.Thanks to BMW - Mark's Touch of Class today is great, it's a young gun (18-years old!) from the US who did something amazing last week, he's got a bright future ahead of him, Mark explains what he did and why it was so impressive. Unfortunately Nick then takes the pod down a risky path putting our podcast license at risk.We get back on track with Hostplus' 'That's a Plus' for Golf, we've given that to Brooks Koepka's return to the PGA as an indication of the best players coming back together. And speaking of Hostplus, if you have a guest you'd like on the pod - let us know!Mark's talked a big game with the Masterclass today. Tip of the year, maybe of the century. You decide. And then Nick brings us home with the PING Global results , plenty to run through.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.

Scottie Scheffler is one-for-one in 2026! Andy and Brendan return to recap yet another victory by the best player in the world, his 20th on the PGA Tour and first at The American Express in Palm Springs. Andy immediately wonders if Brendan and PJ regret "fading Scottie" by taking the under on 6.5 wins this year. Neither of them relent, but they do admit that the over is off to a hot start. Andy and Brendan highlight Scheffler's ability to win both birdie-fests and hard-fought events, as well as his ability to never hurt himself, putting pressure on those playing in the same group as him on Sunday. One such example was Blades Brown, the 18-year-old phenom who entered Sunday tied with Scottie in second place. He had one of the few over-par rounds on Sunday playing alongside the World No. 1, pushing the Korn Ferry Tour member out of the top ten with a t18 finish. In Dubai, Patrick Reed won again on the DP World Tour during some rainy coffee golf. Afterwards, he revealed that he's not currently signed with LIV for 2026 and is contemplating playing a DPWT schedule to try to earn a PGA Tour card for 2027. Andy and Brendan wonder whether he'll actually do this and give Reed some props for being a golf sicko and world player. Stew Cink continued his reign over the Champions Tour, winning the season opener in Hawaii. Adam Schupak wrote up an article detailing the struggles of Zinger, Papa, and Peter Jacobsen calling Champs Tour action from PGA Tour Studios, sending Andy and Brendan over the edge with how serious they were. Peter Jacobsen just wants to see if Tommy Two Gloves is using the same gloves every week, and he can't do that from inside the moat! To end the show, Brendan runs through the LIV Awards results, including Jon Rahm winning Clutch Player of the Year, as predicted by Andy on Thursday afternoon. Andy then slightly amends his northeast snow take from last week after hearing from many listeners. For those wondering, yes, there are plenty of Football Minutes within this episode as well!

Scottie Scheffler has done almost everything in golf. The world number one has multiple majors. He has millions in career earnings. And yet, he told us this year he does not find it fulfilling.

We're taking his surprising, sprawling, introspective press conference and getting renowned mental coach Ben Crowe to break it down for us. Crowe has worked with Ash Barty, Steph Gilmore, Dustin Martin and many more. He has some advice for Scheffler. Featured: Ben Crowe, mindset coach.Subscribe to the ABC Sport Newsletter

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

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.
