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.

Textilný dizajnér Juraj Straka navrhol látky pre značky ako Schiaparelli, Dries van Noten či Jason Wu. Objavili sa v nich aj slávne ženy Lady Gaga, Madonna, Cate Blanchett či Anna Wintour. Nehovorili sme však len o triumfoch či práci textilného dizajnéra, ale aj o tom, aká bola Jurajova cesta za úspechom a vlastným štúdiom, ktoré má v Antverpách. Prebrali sme jeho najobľúbenejšie techniky, ale aj prácu s počítačom tému či nástup technológií a umelej inteligencie do oblasti odevného dizajnu. Juraj s humorom hovoril aj o tom, že ho profesionálna deformácia vedie k tomu hodnotiť vzory na ľuďoch na ulici či pred televízorom doma v obývačke. Čo si myslí o odlive mozgov a kariére v zahraničí? Ako vníma zmeny v umení a kultúre na Slovensku a čo podľa neho môžu priniesť? A aká je budúcnosť odevného dizajnu? To všetko sa dozviete v novej epizóde relácie Ide o nás.

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.

Sepp Straka won a shootout in Palm Springs to take home the American Express Championship title. The tournament as always was a low scoring affair as many players got to -20 and Straka ended up hanging on for the victory. We talk about how to toughen up this tournament and a larger issue - slow play. The final group played in 5 hours and 40 minutes. Slow play has become inexcusable and needs to be addressed by the PGA Tour immediately. Tim has been all over the country golfing and in this episode he will give his travel tips to make your golf trip as smooth as possible.

Welcome back ... to the Smylie Show! Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme cover a wide range of topics this week - from Sepp Straka's win at the American Express, to comments Rory McIlroy made about a protege of his potentially departing for LIV Golf, to the incredibly short-lived TikTok ban.Sepp's win marked just one of a number of interesting storylines coming out of La Quinta, including the continued resurgence of Justin Thomas' game, and some notable pace of play issues on Sunday with a series of changes on the PGA TOUR looming in 2026. On the DP World Tour, a week that began with Rory outlining the conversations he had with Tom McKibbin ahead of a reported move to LIV ended with a LIV player, Tyrrell Hatton, hoisting a trophy at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.All that + some live (at the time) NFL Playoff commentary, and yet another Sicko Gear Tinkerers report.Highlights:- Sepp Straka's win at the American Express- Justin Thomas' performance- Blades Brown swing analysis- One-and-Done picks Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe for more golf insights! #AmericanExpress #Amex #golfrecap #seppstraka #golf #golftips #golfswing #pgatour #golfpodcast #progolf #golfpodcast #smyliekaufman #smylie #smylieshow #swingtips #presidentscup #rydercup #golftrip #golftrips #youtubegolf #fyp #xanderschauffele #scottiescheffler #justinthomas #augusta #masters #theopen #pgachampionship #brysondechambeau #bryson #JustinThomas CHAPTERS:00:00 - Welcome Back...00:58 - NFL02:02 - TikTok04:17 - One and Done07:15 - Sepp Straka13:55 - Golf Viewing Habits14:19 - Pace of Play Discussion18:45 - Blades Brown's Wild Week22:19 - Blades' Swing Analysis25:05 - Smylie's Superlatives27:23 - DP World Tour Overview31:36 - Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Tom McKibbin36:20 - DP World Tour Insights39:30 - Tom McKibbin's Future46:29 - Sepp Straka's Golf Bag50:24 - Mini Drivers53:20 - Swiftie Rankings Update54:40 - Bills/Ravens Game Reaction56:25 - Show Wrap-Up56:35 - Colt Knost Interview Preview57:30 - TGL Week 2 Ratings58:20 - Outro

Después de un fin de semana de muchísimo golf, los Caimanes se reúnen para recapitular cada momento vivido. Desde “el mal momento” que pasa Jon Rahm en la actualidad, que bien podría ser el principio del fin para el español; así como la necesidad de los torneos de poner OB internos para proteger los scores. Además, la victoria del “latinoamericano” Justin Hastings en el Latin American Amateur Championship en Pilar Golf Club, gran actuación mexicana en Argentina, y el título de Sepp Straka en el American Express.
Vrátil se domů, aby pomohl zachránit tradiční fotbalovou značku. František Straka prožívá v Českých Budějovicích, kde se narodil, zatím spíš smutný návrat do české ligy. Na soupeře kouká s pouhými dvěma body z posledního místa, přesto nic nebalí. „Na svou kariéru jsem pyšný,“ zdůrazňuje ve velkém a otevřeném rozhovoru pro Ligu naruby. Mimo součansý stav Dynama se ohlíží i za svými angažmá v minulosti, trenérskými sny i překonání nepříjemné nemoci.

Opozícii sa ju v parlamente nepodarilo odvolať ani napriek kritike poslancov vládneho Hlasu.Opozícia ministerke vyčíta aj mocenské zrušenie RTVS a vznik STVR, ohrozené financovanie opráv našich hradov a pamiatok, prepúšťanie a šikanovanie odborných zamestnancov. Odvolanie šéfov národného divadla, galérie či národného múzea.Koalícia ďalej dôveruje svojej ministerke a žiadne chyby nevidí, zmení sa teraz niečo? Prečo ju kritizuje vládny Hlas?

Fantastická forma, pouhé tři inkasované góly v lize, mládí, perspektiva. „Tipuju, že na jaře už Antonín Kinský ve Slavii chytat nebude. Do Edenu lítá jedna nabídka z TOP 5 lig za druhou a možná se po letech dočkáme i dalšího českého gólmana v Premier League,“ říká v bonusové části nového dílu Ligy naruby redaktor deníku Sport a webu iSport.cz Michal Kvasnica: „Elegantně se tak vyřeší i návrat Jindřicha Staňka, je to win-win pro všechny,“ dodává. „Nesouhlasím. Slavia v současném titulovém nastavení nebude chtít pouštět žádného klíčového hráče,“ myslí si jeho kolega Radek Špryňar. V Lize naruby dokonce na toto téma došlo i na sázku... Řeč ale přišla i na další vlažný výkon Sparty: „Říkám si, jestli už není čas někdy pozměnit to ´přejedené´ rozestavení 3-4-3,“ nadhazuje Kvasnica. Co na to ostatní borci z týmu Ligy naruby?

Jak nečekaným krokem do budoucna vylepšit českou reprezentaci, která konečně potěšila fanoušky dobrým výkonem proti Albánii? „Já bych šel za Ewertonem a nabídl mu občanství. Je to přesně typ hráče, který Haškovi chybí,“ říká v novém díle podcastu Liga naruby redaktor deníku Sport a webu iSport.cz Jiří Fejgl: „Působí tu dlouho, usadil se tady, je kapitánem velkého klubu, podepsal dobrou smlouvu – když v nároďáku nebude takových kluků osm, ale jen jeden, tak proč ne?“ Tým Ligy naruby, ke kterému se z Wroclawi připojili i Michal Kvasnica a Jonáš Bartoš, rozebírají i aktuální hierarchii na hrotu Haškova výběru. „Schick bude mít velký problém, aby se teď před Chorého dostal,“ shodují se. Ve druhé části Ligy naruby se rozdávají ceny a anticeny („Preciado odfláknul 60% zápasů, v lize je to průměrný hráč,“ říká Fejgl) za 1. třetinu domácí soutěže, do bonusové části si pak Bartoloměj Černík připravil překvapivá data, týkající se jednotlivců i klubů.

Nemusíte být experti na to, abyste viděli, že Baníku to běhá. „Pod Pavlem Hapalem udělal obrovský progres i v soubojích,“ prohlásil po nedávném vzájemném zápase (1:2) českobudějovický trenér František Straka. Za zlepšením hledejte dvojici kondičních expertů – Filipa Saidla a Jana Musila. V hodinovém dvojrozhovoru pro Ligu naruby nechávají koučové, které ostravský sportovní ředitel Luděk Mikloško označil za nejlepší v republice, nahlédnout pod pokličku své práce. „Té nejlepší na světě,“ shodují se s úsměvem. „Ještě jsme se nesetkali s nikým, kdo by byl tak připraven, že by se nemohl zlepšit,“ říkají v rozhovoru pro Ligu naruby.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the 2024 BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. -Discussing top six on odds board -4 matchups -1 t10 -3 outrights -Sleeper, First Round Pick -Scoring prediction -Best bet The BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth is a highlight of the DP World Tour, with top players battling for PGA Tour cards. Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, and Matteo Manassero headline the field, with McIlroy entering as a favorite after a strong showing at the Irish Open. Key Players and Predictions Rory McIlroy (02:34) Rory McIlroy is in great form after nearly winning the Irish Open. He has consistently finished in the top 10 at Wentworth, including a win in 2014. At +625, McIlroy is a strong pick to win, and his iron play makes him a top contender. Tommy Fleetwood (04:52) Tommy Fleetwood struggles to close at Wentworth. His inability to put together four solid rounds and poor putting form make him a risky pick this week. McIlroy over Fleetwood at -130 is a smart bet. Shane Lowry (06:17) Shane Lowry, a past champion, has shown inconsistency in his iron play. Despite finishing 12th at the Irish Open, he's not in top form, making him a risky pick for an outright win. Matteo Manassero (08:05) Manassero, the 2013 BMW PGA Champion, is in excellent form with five top-10 finishes this season. At 40-1, he is a great value pick, especially as he fights for a PGA Tour card. Billy Horschel (09:45) Horschel's form has been erratic, particularly with his putting. Despite winning at Wentworth in 2021, his recent struggles make him a long shot at 22-1. Matchups and Bets Rory McIlroy vs. Tommy Fleetwood: McIlroy at -130 is a solid bet based on current form and track record. Matthew Pavan vs. Tom McKibben: Pavan, priced at even money, has the edge given McKibben's struggles. Romain Langasque vs. Jorge Campillo: Langasque at -110 is favored with his consistent form over Campillo. Sleeper Pick Sepp Straka to top 10 at +320 is a great sleeper pick. Straka finished 10th at Wentworth last year and has shown improvement in his iron and putting game recently. Best Bet Matteo Manassero to top 20 at +175 is the best bet of the tournament. With his recent form and past success at Wentworth, he is poised for a strong finish. Conclusion The BMW PGA Championship promises excitement, with McIlroy as the favorite. Dark horses like Manassero and Straka offer great value. Keep an eye on matchups like McIlroy over Fleetwood, and make sure to back Manassero for a top-20 finish.

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme are once again live from Castle Pines Golf Club - this time from the 18th green - on the eve of the BMW Championship, and are joined by both Sepp Straka and Craig Stadler to break down all the FedEx Cup action ahead. We begin with a full breakdown of a course we've not seen on the PGA TOUR since 2006, and all of the elevation and weather factors that will come into play in terms of judging yardages this week in Colorado. SK and CH are then joined for a wide-ranging interview with Sepp Straka, covering everything from whether a hole-in-one on a par three course counts, to Sepp's affinity for Taylor Swift. 1982 Masters champion (and Denver resident) Craig Stadler then joins to discuss his history playing at Castle Pines 17 times while on Tour. And finally, we close out the show with our one-and-done picks for the BMW Championship.

Despite being orphaned at a young age, Simon Bolivar was far from an orphan Annie character. Born into a wealthy Criollo family in 1783, his education continued before he made an extensive trip around Europe. While there, he was introduced to ideas of the enlightenment and events such as the French Revolution. Despite his ethnically Spanish roots, he returned to Venezuela determined to gain independence and establish a republic. In subsequent years he became involved in three separate Venezuelan republics whilst establishing himself as the de facto ruler of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Panama, and Bolivia. The latter even named after him. But his legacy is complicated. A proponent for the abolishment of slavery, for a time an ally of the newly independent Haiti, Bolivar while earning the moniker "The Liberator" was ultimately pushed out of power. In this episode I examine Bolivar's life with my guest, a leading expert on the subject -- his compatriot -- Prof. Tomas Helmut Straka Medina of the prestigious Andre Bello Catholic University of Caracas, Venezuela. Tomas explains the nuances of Bolivar's reign, his motivations and the context of the overall geopolitical situation. Guest: Prof. Tomas Helmut Straka Medina Tomás Straka is a Venezuelan historian, author, and professor of history at the Andrés Bello Catholic University. He has authored various works, including "La voz de los vencidos," "Hechos y gente," "Un Reino para este mundo," "La épica del desencanto," and "La república fragmentada," among others. Straka holds a PhD in History from Andrés Bello Catholic University and has been a visiting scholar at prestigious institutions like the University of Chicago and Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. He is a member of the National Academy of History in Venezuela since 2016. Straka's contributions to Venezuelan history and academia are significant, reflected in his extensive bibliography covering various aspects of Venezuelan history and society. In addition to his academic endeavors, Straka is known for his involvement in preserving democratic memory in Venezuela, as highlighted in his work "Por el rescate de la memoria democrática en Venezuela." His role as a historian and essayist extends beyond academia, making him a prominent figure in discussions surrounding Venezuelan history and contemporary issues.
