Andy and Brendan went LIVE on YouTube following the conclusion of the 2026 Players Championship, recapping an electric Sunday back nine that ended in Cameron Young's second PGA Tour victory. The two initially give some credit to "The Boys" after a week full of adversity in the AirBNB but came with the trade off of a big win for Mr. 1,000. Young defeated Matt Fitzpatrick following a blow up from 54-hole leader Ludvig Åberg. Despite a sleepy Saturday and a slow start to Sunday, the last 90 minutes at TPC Sawgrass delivered for viewers once again. Andy and Brendan discuss Cameron Young's history as a "big game player" and how the setup with long rough helped him as a longer hitter off the tee. They also unpack Åberg's collapse on holes 11 and 12 and his gameplan that ended up getting him in trouble. Grades are given to Cam, Ludvig, Scottie Scheffler, the course setup, NBC, and other contenders as is tradition at a "major" event. The Boys, Joseph LaMagna and PJ, join in for the back half of this episode to celebrate a Victory Monday for the only recurring guest in "Lunch with The Boys" history. PJ shares insight from his weekend on the ground and his time following the NYGC tandem of Young and Fitzpatrick on Sunday, while Joseph shines some light on Sudarshan Yellamaraju, one of the breakout players of this week.

The biggest week in golf outside the majors is here, and we're diving headfirst into everything happening at TPC Sawgrass. On Episode 89 of The Swoosh Life Podcast, we preview The Players Championship from Jacksonville, Florida and break down all the storylines surrounding one of the most iconic stops on the PGA Tour.We kick things off with the world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and the chatter around his so-called “mini slump.” Is it actually a concern, or just the absurdly high standard he's set for himself? From there we get into Brooks Koepka being asked once again if The Players should be considered the “5th major,” and what that debate really means in today's era of professional golf.We also talk about Tom Kim's electric hole-in-one moment at TGL, the fashion scene popping up in pro shops during these massive tour events, and of course we had to react to the new Players NRG shoe drop from Nike Golf.To close things out, we put our reputations on the line with our Winner's Circle picks — who we think will survive Pete Dye's masterpiece and lift the trophy at Sawgrass this Sunday.The island green is calling. Let's get into it.

With Iain somewhere en route to the Players Championship, it's up to Andrew and Eddie to hold the fort this week, which they don't technically manage to do as Andy Murray scales the walls to join in and look ahead to the Sunningdale Foursomes. There is also conversation about Eddie's performance in Johannesburg and how he can carry the solid form of his South African trip forward when he has little competitive golf coming up, except to partner with a former tennis player against the man who was once the best youth golfer in Europe. The wins for Dan Bradbury, Akshay Bhatia and Jon Rahm are also discussed, while they wonder if there should be concern about the form of Scottie Scheffler or the injury to Rory McIlroy. The answer is probably no, but serious worries remain about the number of dogs heading for Sunningdale.Brought to you by: www.petermillar.co.ukVisit: www.ping.comInstagram: @chippingforecastEmail: tcf@thechippingforecast.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

https://www.siegergolf.com/online-courses This week on The Golfing Mind, we examine pressure — how it builds, how it leaks, and how it ultimately decides tournaments. We begin with the visible frustration of Shane Lowry last weekend, and explore the heart of what is really going on — a reminder that even major champions are not immune to emotional drift. When momentum turns, it is rarely the swing that collapses first. It is the internal narrative. From there, we turn to Bay Hill and the searching examination that is the Arnold Palmer Invitational. With penal rough, firm greens and swirling winds, this course punishes impatience and exposes ego. We'll analyse five leading contenders — including Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy — and explore why emotional regulation, not raw talent, may determine the outcome. Because at Bay Hill, the winner won't be the player who avoids mistakes. It will be the player who recovers from them fastest. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Golf is a crazy and brutal game, even for the best in the world. Shane Lowry found that out this week at PGA National for the Cognizant Classic. With a three-shot lead on the 16th tee, he flared an iron into the water, which resulted in a double bogey. On the 17th tee shot he did it again, which allowed Nico Echavarria to take home the title. We will do a deep dive into the tournament and what exactly happened to Shane Lowry on this week's episode.

This Friday episode begins with an apology from Andy after a missed opportunity to discuss Kevin Roy (and his dad, Patrick) as part of our preview of The Cognizant Classic. Brendan moves things along to an early check-in at the South African Open where George Coetzee withdrew after a poor start, ending his run in this week's Game Within a Game. Another Game Within a Game participant is Ernie Els, who Andy claimed "looked a little husky" on the range. This Ernie discussion ushers in a brand-new Champions Tour Minute after Andy and PJ heard from a well-placed source that the "next big thing" on the senior circuit is not Tiger Woods or Zach Johnson, but another 50-year-old waiting to make his debut. The bulk of this episode focuses on some comments from pre-tournament press conferences at The Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches. Shane Lowry believes that the overseed course setup by the Tour's Championship Management has dramatically altered this event from a tough test to now something that looks green on television. Billy Horschel tried to shift the blame off the Tour and to the resort at PGA National, but Andy and Brendan aren't giving them the benefit of the doubt. This issue with the setups is even further exemplified at this week's KFT event at the Jockey Club, with Andy saying that the Tour has "completely ruined so many places." Ryan Gerard, the betting favorite at this event, also had some things to say before he teed off. Gerard has been a focus of the Tour's marketing efforts this week and Brendan thinks this can be a model for future "PGA-B" events potentially making stars. Gerard shared a story about playing with Scottie Scheffler and how Scottie manages to bridge the gap between clubs by playing a high-launching shot. Gerard has been chasing that shot and believes he has it, hoping that it'll lead to success at the majors this year. Brendan then shares a Flashback Friday segment on the 1991 Honda Classic, won by Steve Pate. This story has it all, including a legendary overclub challenge by Paul Azinger and a scorekeeper finding a lost ball.

More wind, more water, and a style of golf that can punish you fast.First, Ron Green Jr. from Global Golf Post joins Gary in studio to recap what stood out on the West Coast, what the TOUR's early-season rhythm could look like going forward, and why Rory McIlroy feels like he's playing a smarter, more complete brand of golf right now.

PJ issues an apology for laughing at Brendan's belief in The Bridgeman, who cashed 100-1 tickets for bettors everywhere. Andy and Brendan recap the weekend at Riviera and shine a light on Bridgemans path to the PGA Tour and his first career victory. Kevin Van Valkenburg joins from the on-site media center in LA to share some observations from the ground, touching on Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Aldrich Potgieter, and more. Andy, Brendan, and Kevin also discuss the online pushback against Riviera after the pros tore up a soft course this week after all the rain on Thursday. After debating whether there should be a "Shotgun Start Book Club," there's a brief Tiger Woods conversation amongst the group, with everyone believing that he will, in fact, play on the Champions Tour in 2026. Brendan is convinced that Tiger will be playing the Masters, too! Andy moves to ban Spider putters on the PGA Tour before recapping the rest of the week in pro golf, including the Magical Kenya Open and Jeeno Thitikul's first-ever win in Thailand. In news, the DP World Tour has settled its fines with almost all of the eligible LIV players... except for Jon Rahm. Andy and Brendan wonder if this means his 2027 Ryder Cup status is truly in doubt as even Tyrrell Hatton decided to cut the check. PJ and Andy are both in Florida for the big Ballfrogs match on Monday night, but it remains to be seen if Brendan will make it down south through the snow. Stay tuned for some in-person TGL takeaways on Wednesday's episode!
Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme break down Jacob Bridgeman's statement win at the Genesis Invitational, Rory McIlroy's late charge, and Adam Scott reminding everyone that elite ball-striking never ages.From soft conditions changing Riviera's identity to Scottie Scheffler's bizarre slow-start trend, this episode dives deep into what actually mattered this week — and what it means heading into the Florida Swing.Plus: rising young Americans, blade putter debates
On this Monday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams recaps a packed sports weekend before turning the page to golf, including a full look back at The Genesis Invitational and what it told us about where the game is headed.Gary starts with the moment that stole the weekend outside of golf, then rolls into the winners around the world and the headline story from Riviera. Jacob Bridgeman breaks through for his first PGA TOUR win, and Gary explains why his performance was so rare in the ShotLink era and why closing with a lead can be its own kind of pressure. From there, Gary digs into Scottie Scheffler's fight after an ugly start, the efficiency that makes him so dangerous even when he doesn't have his best stuff, and how Rory McIlroy's shot-making is starting to look like the kind of artistry that travels to Augusta and Shinnecock.Then, Billy Horschel joins the show ahead of TGL action with Atlanta Drive. Billy gives a real update on where his body is after surgery, what it's been like building endurance again, and why he feels he's trending in the right direction. He also talks about why the indoor, prime-time environment fits him, how the nerves in TGL compare to TOUR pressure, and what it means to be an entertainer while still showing real skill. Billy also gets into the urgency of the next couple of weeks, his mindset chasing opportunities like The Players and the Masters, and what he believes the PGA TOUR needs to protect as it evolves, especially when it comes to cuts, access, and creating real opportunity for members.After that, Michael Bamberger joins Gary for a wide-ranging conversation on golf's most relentless competitors, Scottie Scheffler's mindset and focus, and what separates the truly rare personalities at the top. Michael also shares the story behind the 40th anniversary re-release of his first book, including what's new in this edition and why those long relationships in golf still matter.Gary closes the show with thoughts on the LPGA's global start to the season and why it matters that the best players are winning early, even when the events are happening far from the U.S. viewing window. With the West Coast Swing now in the rearview, the PGA TOUR heads to Florida, and the shift in conditions and scoring resistance is about to get real.5 Clubs airs live on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (Channel 92). 0:00 Opening Thoughts 3:30 Recapping the Weekend in Golf 13:20 Billy Horschel 31:20 Michael Bamberger43:33 LPGA Thoughts
Two hundred episodes.Six years of conversations.Hundreds of hours recorded.Countless guests.Countless stories.Episode 200 is more than a milestone.

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."

In this master's class episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with Alan Weiss, one of the most respected consultants on the planet, to talk about how real estate investors can build a premium brand, attract deals without chasing, and scale beyond solo-operator status. We unpack why trying to satisfy every seller and buyer "want" turns you into a commodity, how to instead sell to real needs, and what it really takes to position yourself as the authority in your market. Alan shares how he built one of the strongest independent consulting brands in the world, why responsiveness is one of the most underrated differentiators in business, and how to create evangelists who send you deal flow you could never buy with ads. We also get into the mindset shift from W-2 to entrepreneur, why you must learn to handle rejection, and why every top performer you know (from Scottie Scheffler to Oprah) leans on great coaches. If you are a real estate investor, agent, or entrepreneur who wants to stop chasing leads and start running a real business with leverage, this conversation will stretch your thinking in the best way. Key Talking Points of the Episode 00:00 Introduction 01:02 Who is Alan Weiss? 02:08 How Alan's expertise will help real estate investors 03:28 Expert positioning for real estate professionals 04:10 Stop selling wants, start solving investor and seller needs 05:34 Attracting motivated seller leads without chasing 06:31 Creating raving fans that send you off-market real estate deals 08:16 Scaling your real estate business with reputation, not just more hustle 09:51 New real estate investors: how to build authority with no track record yet 10:31 Why you should sell transformations, not task lists 11:14 Thought leadership: being strategically contrarian in real estate 14:27 Market shifts, commissions, and charging for value 16:01 The most common mistakes people make in entrepreneurship 17:49 Why responsiveness is the secret weapon to success 19:54 Understanding that every top performer has coaches 21:20 How to connect with Alan and find his content Quotables "We are supposed to be experts. And part of the unique value is combining the real needs of the prospect with your expertise and helping shape that." "Trying your best to meet people's wants is not a good idea because it just makes you a commodity." "Responsiveness is as important as content. If you can just be responsive, you are going to have people's attention."

Haotong Li joins The Smylie Show for perhaps the most laughs we've had in an episode yet
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

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.

On today's episode, we break down a wild Sunday at the Waste Management, where Chris Gotterup emerged over Hideki Matsuyama (2:00). We dive into another top-5 finish from Scottie Scheffler (56:00), Patrick Reed's continued hot streak (59:50), and Brandel Chamblee's controversial comments about The Players (1:14:50). Plus, a little Super Bowl talk (35:10).You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube. Prime Members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Andy and Brendan planned to go LIVE on YouTube as part of "Golf's Favorite Pregame Show," but Hideki Matusyama had other plans. After a few too many wayward drives, Matsuyama could not make this a Victory Monday for Boston and coughed up the WM Phoenix Open to Chris Gotterup midway through the first quarter of the Super Bowl. Andy and Brendan recap a jam-packed week in the desert, hitting on Scottie Scheffler's t3 finish, Hideki's driver woes, and Chris Gotterup's continued ascension into the game's top tier. Patrick Reed could be the only player hotter than Gotterup right now, remaining undefeated in regulation in his last three starts with a win in Qatar. He is all but guaranteed a PGA Tour card through the DP World Tour now, but Brendan doubts his "lifelong goal to win the Order of Merit" is a real thing. Elvis Smylie immediately paid dividends for Rippers GC, staring down Jon Rahm in Riyadh for a win in his LIV debut. The two then run through results from the rest of the world and a bit of news before unpacking Brandel Chamblee's latest masterpiece of a take. Brandel made waves by suggesting that The Players Championship is ABOVE the four majors in stature and should absolutely be qualified as a major championship moving forward. Andy and Brendan are aghast at this statement and share some unsubstantiated rumors suggesting that the current PGA Tour membership does not share Brandel's personal opinion. Andy then previews Thursday night's live show in Chicago by reading some internet information about the event. Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12! We'll be hanging out at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of Q&A, Champs Tour Minute, and plenty of Bears chatter.
