Podcasts about Spieth

An unforgettable Sunday at the 89th Masters Tournament as Rory McIlroy prevails over Justin Rose in a playoff to secure his fifth major championship and to complete the career grand slam. We discuss the entire rollercoaster ride, from disastrous double bogeys to heroic eagles, good breaks, and a winning birdie. We also react to a pee in Rae's Creek, Nick Dunlap's 19-stroke turnaround, Spieth's “mud ball” comments, Lowry's fiery interview, and much more.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

Andy and Brendan are back at the Draddy house to celebrate and denigrate at the midpoint of the Masters. They discuss an amusing Friday finish with Scottie Scheffler sitting under a Magnolia tree looking for a ruling, a despondent Spieth grinding to make the cut, and temperamental Tyrell missing two foot putts. They also discuss Rory McIlroy getting back into the fight with a rousing 66 that has him in the second-to-last group on Saturday after the narrative “buried” him following the two doubles on Thursday. Bryson's adaptation to Augusta is spotlighted as he makes another run for a green jacket for the second year in a row. There's a course change discussed and the continued comments on 15th green are also reviewed. They get into some other patron amusements from the ground, a Hat Chat, and a funny nugget about Ken Griffey Jr., photographer at Augusta for the week.

Will Doctor reviews all 95 players at Augusta en route to finalizing card for the 89th playing of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. -Reviewing 4 futures outright tickets -Reviewing 3 picks to win any major in 2025 -Going through all 95 players in the Masters Tournament -Adding 1 outright -1 t20, 1 t30 -2 bets "to make the cut" -1 bet "to miss the cut" -4 72-hole matchups -1 first round matchup -3 round 1 three ball matchups -1 t10 after R1 including an 8.2-unit loss at the Valero Texas Open and a failed 9-1 futures ticket on the Houston Cougars in NCAA basketball. He stresses the importance of reviewing picks, especially amid a losing streak, and outlines the four Masters futures he carries from December: Scottie Scheffler (7-1), Ludwig Aberg (14-1), Sung Jae Im (50-1), and Sepp Straka (100-1), with three additional tickets on Sahith Theegala, Tom Kim, and Davis Thompson to win any major. Scottie Scheffler, coming in as the favorite at +525, is praised for consistent elite performance, including no finishes worse than 25th in six events since returning from a hand injury, and podium finishes in his last four starts. His game, including a best putting performance of the season in Houston, is peaking. Rory McIlroy is faded despite strong wins at Pebble Beach and the Players; Will cites driving accuracy issues and suggests 10-1 would be a fairer line than 7.25-1. Jon Rahm, now on the LIV circuit, enters at 16-1 with recent top-10s but inconsistent putting and chipping. Morikawa is also passed over due to final-round collapses, though Will does back him to top 10 in Round 1. Other fades include Bryson DeChambeau (20-1), Justin Thomas (25-1), and Hideki Matsuyama (35-1), due to poor putting or chipping trends. Conversely, Will is bullish on Robert MacIntyre (60-1), who has recorded three straight top-11 finishes and two strong prior Augusta showings. He places both an outright bet and a matchup on him. Victor Hovland is another targeted play, specifically in a matchup over Cam Smith, following his Valspar win and a confident outlook on his improved short game. Shane Lowry, cited for consistency and solid Augusta history, is backed for a top 20, while Russell Henley earns a top-30 ticket thanks to elevated iron play. Several key quotes add depth. Scottie Scheffler credits Texas's varied conditions for developing his shot-making adaptability. Rory McIlroy reflects on family memories and the beauty of Augusta. Morikawa defends media avoidance, which Will critiques as symptomatic of poor mental preparation. Hovland speaks optimistically about short-game improvements with coach Grant Waite, prompting confidence from Will. Aberg's comments reveal awareness of recent struggles, but he remains committed to routine. Sepp Straka remains a strong value at 100-1 with excellent iron play and driving form. He's bet to beat Sam Burns in a first-round matchup, who is faded due to declining performance. Sung Jae Im's ticket has cratered in value, and Will expresses regret on that pick. Spieth is passed over at 40-1 due to erratic iron play, despite solid chipping and putting. Other noted fades include Tommy Fleetwood, Corey Connors, Cam Smith, Patrick Cantlay, Min Woo Lee, and Brooks Koepka, each due to specific statistical weaknesses in approach, short game, or driving. Later segments analyze lower-ranked players, including positive remarks about Phil Mickelson's resurgence and Charles Schwartzel's sharp form. Will picks Mickelson to make the cut, citing recent LIV success. Keegan Bradley and Akshay Bhatia are also featured in favorable matchups. Will wraps with lineup picks for Masters.com, choosing Scheffler, Patrick Reed, Shane Lowry, Davis Thompson, and Straka.

A 9 p.m. TGL match had Andy and Brendan ready for a late night live show for this Wednesday episode. The two react to the week that was in the SoFi Dome, with Brendan sharing details from his in-person experience watching the Ballfrogs lose yet again on Monday night. With losses by Jupiter Links and NYGC as well, all three teams will have a chance to make the playoffs in the final week of the regular season. Andy and Brendan discuss Tuesday night's match between The Bay and Jup Links, critiquing the broadcast and wondering if the product is better without the pressure of Tiger playing. They shout out stellar performances by "Tom Sim" and "Dr. Chipinski" Min Woo Lee, helping to make Tuesday's match entertaining. Andy updates his model and spits out this week's TGL Power Rankings with the Ballfrogs tumbling down the graphic. The Bay GC is standing tall at No. 1, but PJ wonders if there's some underlying metrics that could present a problem for them in the playoffs. The conversation then shifts to this week's Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches, where Jordan Spieth feels he's a good fit for the course at PGA National. Andy and Brendan aren't so sure, and Spieth goes unpicked as a Hammer, Lock, Fire selection for this week. The South African Open on the DP World Tour presents a bevy of Games Within a Game for longtime SGS listeners. In news, "Full Swing" returned to Netflix on Tuesday and Brendan makes a cameo in an early episode! Brendan also shares some quotes from Peter Malnati regarding a potential PIF-PGA Tour deal and President Trump's involvement in negotiations. Finally, one of Andy's favorites has a PR firm asking for coverage of his new life after golf.

Gabby Herzig and Taylor Zarzour joined Gary Williams today on 5 Clubs on Golf Channel. Herzig talked about the latest between the PGA Tour and LIV and the involvement of the new administration. She also talked about Jordan Spieth and his attempts to come back from injury. Zarzour and Williams also talked about Spieth as well as the new Rory McIlroy approach that is taking a page out of the Scottie Scheffler playbook and the start to the season of all the European players which puts them in a very good position with the Ryder Cup looming later this year.

Hole 55: Peter, Paul en Rogier hebben getraind op Amelisweerd. Chippen, putten en 9 holes Best ball lopen. Martijn heeft ook geoefend op de baan. We gaan bijna op vakantie dus hebben wat baantijd nodig.De PGA Tour was in de woestijn van Phoenix. Rasmus Hojgard, Macintyre en Straka en Detry hielden de Europese eer hoog. De Belg Detry won voor de eerste keer en wist Berger en ook Spieth die weer goed waren ver van hem af te houden. Scheffler was nog niet op niveau, Ricky was onvindbaar en Tom Kim was weer langzaam.LIV was in de woestijn van Riadh, hier ook een 'eerste overwinning' op het LIV circuit weliswaar voor de Poolse speler Meronk. Munoz zat er dichtbij en verder veel grote namen. Rham's Legion XIII lijkt met de toevoeging van McKibbin geen zwakke schakels meer te hebben en zij wonnen de team titel.De DP World Tour was natuurlijk ook in de woestijn. Hier geen Europese winnaar, maar de Chinees Hao Tong Li. Na 4 jaar won hij weer eens en Peter heeft zich helemaal dood geërgerd aan hem. Neergaard-Petersen eindigde op 1 slag. Wat ons betreft ook echt wel een Ryder Cup kandidaatAan ons jaarspel kan je nog steeds mee doen. Je mag een speler toch maar 1 keer per jaar inzetten dus je hebt dan alle toppers nog over. Reageer op ons Insta account of mail ons voor de invullijst op 19eholepodcast@gmail.com. We zijn zelf vergeten live te voorspellen. Maar o.a. Cantlay, Morikawa, Cam Smith en Leishman zijn onze favorieten voor Torrey Pines (Genesis) en LIV Adelaide.In de korte ronde: slow play, de 70e verjaardag van The Great White Shark, exemption categories voor LIV-spelers voor het US en Brits Open, TGL, we hebben een banenranking gemaakt die we vanaf volgende week op Insta gaan zetten.Raad de Speler is moeilijk dit keer0:00 - 14:23 Eigen golf14:23- 44:10 Professioneel golf44:10 - 1:02:08 Korte Ronde1:02:08 - 1:02:35 Raad de Speler

Andy is on cloud nine for this Victory Monday episode, as Illinois alum Thomas Detry won the WM Phoenix Open going away. Brendan and Andy discuss Detry's first PGA Tour win and his outstanding play on the weekend that earned him a champagne shower and victory hugs on the 18th green from international stars like Matt Wallace, Ryan Fox, and Christiaan Bezuidenhout. The two wrap up more stories from Phoenix, including a big week from Jordan Spieth, a tie for second from Daniel Berger, and a faulty back nine from Scottie Scheffler on Sunday. Rasmus Hojgaard also received some flowers from Andy, leading to a wider conversation about possible European Ryder Cuppers in February. Andy and Brendan then recap the golf weekend across the rest of the world. They share their favorite Haotong Li memories as a way to commemorate his win on the DP World Tour and wonder how the U.S. Virgin Islands became the title sponsor for the LPGA's Founders Cup. PJ jumps in to detail how Bob Papa was growing the game of golf in Morocco while covering Miguel Angel Jimenez's win on the Champions Tour. The golf recaps close with a segment on LIV's debut under the lights, where Andy calls winner Adrian Meronk the "GOAT of Night Golf." This episode ends with a brief discussion about Tiger Woods playing in next week's Genesis at Torrey Pines, a place where he's won eight times.

Drew Stoltz of Subpar and Brendan Porath of The Fried Egg joined us today. Stoltz talked about a number of the changes that took place at this year's WM Phoenix Open, how the younger generation is so skilled and ready to win and how Jordan Spieth can energize a crowd. Porath also talked about what Spieth brings to the table for the PGA Tour as well as forecasting the season ahead for Tiger Woods and what would be considered successful. Porath also talked about how deep the European Ryder Cup team as Thomas Detry picked up his first win at the WM.

Matt Adams recaps a full weekend in golf including Thomas Detry's first PGA Tour win in Phoenix, Yealimi Noh's inaugural victory, Jon Rahm's Team dominance on LIV and much more. Plus, Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth make some noise...perhaps they are back?!

Andy Johnson is joined by Joseph LaMagna and Normal Sport's Kyle Porter for an in-depth conversation about Jordan Spieth's career to date and his future after undergoing wrist surgery this fall. The three look back at Spieth's arrival on the PGA Tour, his unprecedented early success at major championships, his collapse at the 2016 Masters, and his sparse win total since his last major championship in 2017. They debate if Spieth will ever contend at a major again and project his future performance against peers like Justin Thomas and Scottie Scheffler.

GS#966 Recently, while in Seattle, my travel buddies and I had the opportunity to play Chambers Bay, a walking only, public, links style course on the shore of Puget Sound. You may remember Chambers Bay from when it hosted the 2015 US Open won by Jordan Spieth who stayed one stroke ahead of runners-up Dustin Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen for his first US Open victory.  Spieth, at age 21 became the youngest U.S. Open champion in 92 years, since Bobby Jones in 1923. The reigning Masters champion, Spieth became the youngest to win the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year, passing Tiger Woods.  This episode features my conversation with caddy, Sam Pintar, from holes 15-18.Follow @golfsmarter on Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube for daily highlights and helpful insights from our interviews on the podcast.

The FedEx Cup playoffs are upon us, and Jordan Spieth is looking to thrust up the rankings into next week. Bob is back, and he and Dan look ahead to the week in Memphis, discussing the course, the players they like, and Spieth's chances of prevailing. They also dive into a player of the year conversation, and can't help but talk a little football. Let's Go!

It's Friday! Andy is delusional about the Bears after one episode of Hard Knocks and has great hope. Then they get to some of the golf of the week, the women's golf competition at the Olympics and the delayed Wyndham Championship. But first there is an apology for Rickie Fowler after a mistake from last episode, and an attempt at an apology for Jordan Spieth. They also try to figure out what the plan is at the Wyndham after the Hurricane washed out day one. There is also a FedExCup Fact of the Day. Then they discuss Nelly Korda's quick tumble down the leaderboard, the Swiss sensation at the top, the French favorite, and the general scene in Paris. They close it with a fun and beefy Golf Forever SGS Golf Advice Segment on a cart boy getting caught red handed, caddying around an expected due date, and worst courses to visit in major cities.

Keegan Bradley joins the show (10:24) to discuss being named U.S. Ryder Cup captain for next year's battle at Bethpage. Keegan discusses how he found out, his long history with Bethpage, the unmatched intensity of the Ryder Cup, and how he's going to approach the next 14 months. Then we talk: the Presidents Cup vs the Ryder Cup; Spieth, JT, and Rory's interesting careers; Tropical Storm Debby's impact; and do Closest To The Pin.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

It was the kind of weekend that made you think about the big things as it relates to men's golf, its star talents, its playing fields, and its past, present, and future. Andy and Brendan bob and weave through this Monday episode that runs the gamut after the last men's major of the year. They begin with some important questions on the FedExCup before getting into Xander Schauffele's win, his season, and what this victory does for the rest of his career. Then they discuss Scottie Scheffler and the ongoing flaw in his otherwise elite game and how that will work at future Opens. They cover Royal Troon in depth, with much praise and a few quibbles on how it set up for the pros. Is it a better championship test for men's golf than the Old Course right now? They discuss Billy Boy and Rosey, Thriston and all the other contenders before getting to a few of the non-contenders like Spieth, JT, Rory, Rahm, and their major seasons. They close with Matthew Jordan appreciation and some less-than-appreciative comments on the coverage.

Dan Brown (-6) is your solo leader through 18 holes at Royal Troon, followed by Shane Lowry (-5) and Justin Thomas (-3). We talked through the day that was for Shane, JT, Scottie, and Spieth and not for Ludvig, Rory, Tiger, and Tommy. TC attempts to apologize for Tommy Lad before we bring KVV in from the bullpen to talk Bryson. We close out the show with a couple of segments, discuss viewing options, and more.

Andy and Brendan are back after a long holiday weekend, and this is truly a rambling show about nothing. But there are some BIG questions asked, like, say, who will win more Tour events from now on -- Davis Thompson, Michael Thorbjornsen, or Jordan Spieth? They discuss the youth at the top of the Deere leaderboard and how it's become a course with literally zero hard holes and nothing but wedges. There's a lengthy chat on Spieth's momentary flirtation with 59 on Saturday and what went wrong from there, and his future prospects. There are some other odds and ends from Deere Run like JT not playing ZJ's charity outing this year, an IBF comp to Scottie Scheffler, and an amusing Tosti Tale on his pro-am, his caddie, and his rental car antipathy. Michael Rubin gets thirstbucket of the week for his little white party. The Euro Tour event is discussed momentarily, but mostly with some testimony from the ground about the power lines. They close with a few thoughts on the Palmer Cup at Lahinch and consensus that it is the creepiest trophy in golf.

John Fields, the longtime head coach of the men's golf team at the University of Texas, joins Garrett to discuss a variety of topics in advance of the NCAA D1 Men's Golf Championship. Coach Fields talks about the Longhorns' season so far and the story behind how UT became the host of the men's and women's NCAA championships at the Gil Hanse-renovated North Course at Omni La Costa in Southern California. He also identifies a couple of back-nine holes to watch for in the coming days. In the back half of the episode, Coach Fields details his coaching career and his experiences with players like Cody Gribble, Jordan Spieth, and Scottie Scheffler.

Andy and Brendan begin this Saturday episode thrilled about the final round possibilities for the PGA Championship, but with some laments on how we got there. They discuss the “simulation” golf that Valhalla has produced through 54 holes, including a Saturday scoring fest that was among the lowest in its history. They wonder if Ted Scott is the key to all of Scottie Scheffler's success. The Bushnell "Who's Dialed" segment features some severe yips and several nominees, including Bryson DeChambeau. That takes them to a lengthy game of Contender/Pretender on a bunched leaderboard -- are Rory and Spieth too far back? They quickly eliminate a whole flock of people as pretenders to narrow things down.

The Pro Maxwell John Homa along with Big Bryson DeChambeau and Scott Scheffler sit atop of the leaderboard at -6 through 36 holes. We break down all of the day's action to include Bryson moving signs, Zatch not cussing at Patrons, The Rib and J. Spieth's troubles and more. TC pops in to shout out the young Swede Ludvig and Neil runs our lingering or loitering game. We close it out with Neil and Big Randy's Champions Dinner menus and the debut of the new hit song "Big Cans." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We have a jam packed pod this weekend as Akshay Bhatia wins the Valero, Nelly Korda wins the LPGA Match Play, and Lottie Woad claims the 5th Augusta National Women's Amateur. We start in San Antonio where Bhatia won in a playoff over Denny McCarthy after McCarthy's back nine 28 (!!) to force extra holes. We talk Akshay's career outlook in light of his second win on tour and try to make sense of McCarthy's incredible run of birdies before his chunked wedge in the playoff. We also talk Rory, Spieth, and a few other notes ahead of the Masters. Then it's on to Las Vegas (30:00) where Nelly Korda wins for the fourth consecutive start as she defeats Leona Maguire to win the LPGA Match Play while Lottie Woad birdies 17 and 18 to win the ANWA (44:00). We close with some observations from our day at Augusta today (1:10:00), JT's split from Bones, LIV-Miami, upcoming content this week and more. Learn more about your ad choices.
