-Discussing top 7 on odds board at Quail Hollow -1 matchup -2 picks to place -2 outrights added to 2 futures on card -Sleeper, 2 lineups, scoring, best bet Will Doctor, host of the Golf Preview Podcast, provided a comprehensive breakdown of the 107th PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, North Carolina. The event features 156 players, and the course—known for hosting the Wells Fargo Championship—is now set for its second PGA Championship. Rory McIlroy, with four wins at Quail Hollow and four victories in his last ten starts, is co-favorite at +550 alongside world number one Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy, though powerful off the tee averaging 324 yards at Philly Cricket, only hit 40% of fairways, presenting accuracy concerns. Scheffler, coming off an eight-shot victory at the Nelson, has shown flawless iron play and putting, despite never playing Quail Hollow professionally. Will Doctor endorsed Scheffler as his primary pick at +550. Justin Thomas, fourth favorite at 22-1, has been exceptional lately with two runner-ups and a win in his last four starts. His strong course history at Quail Hollow, including a 2017 PGA win, positions him as a top contender. Bryson DeChambeau, at +950, recently won at Live Korea, praised for his elite driving and improving short game, though his iron play remains a question. Doctor recommends DeChambeau for a Top 10 finish at +110 but avoids an outright pick. Sepp Straka's victory at Philly Cricket was highlighted by his 60% fairway rate, over 3.5 strokes gained on approach, and best-in-field putting performance. Shane Lowry led the field in approach but faltered with the putter, notably a costly three-putt on the 72nd hole, continuing his winless streak since 2022. Will Doctor criticized his own picks from the previous event, noting none contended, with Spieth finishing T34, Stevens T23, and Dorby Olson T54. His picks to place last week salvaged some units, including Patrick Cantlay and Tommy Fleetwood, both closing with 65s, and Andrew Novak with a final round 64 for T17. Quail Hollow, expected to play at 7,600 yards, faces wet conditions from early-week rains, likely favoring bombers and elite chippers, though greens will remain firm due to sub-air systems. The betting focus includes Justin Thomas over Jon Rahm at +117, McIlroy to Top 5 at even money, and Bryson DeChambeau to Top 10 at +110. Futures on Tyrell Hatton and Sung Jae Im have lost value, with both needing career weeks to contend, particularly Im, whose iron play has struggled all year. The DraftKings lineup features DeChambeau, Thomas, Matsuyama, Novak, Mitchell, and Norgaard, while the PGA.com lineup includes Scheffler (captain), DeChambeau, Thomas, McIlroy, with Mitchell and Novak on the bench. Keith Mitchell, known for his fast starts but inability to maintain over four rounds, is backed to Top 20 at 3-1. Doctor expects the winning score at 14 under, higher than the 8 under posted by Thomas in 2017 due to softer conditions. His best bet is DeChambeau to Top 10 at +110. He criticized the Live schedule's poor major prep, arguing it hampers players like Rahm more than DeChambeau. Finally, he acknowledged the rain's impact would likely limit firmness to Saturday only, favoring players with distance, elite iron play, and strong short games.

Brian finds himself in a bit of a Twitter spat about some shoddy Tommy Fleetwood takes. JT is back. Mens club in full swing, it's golf season baby!
Today, Mark is in studio at Titleist and FootJoy HQ, Nick is at Cathedral in Central Victoria. We start the show with Nick mentioning that his wife Alana has just had her best round ever. He is very proud!We talk about the RBC Heritage Tournament on Hilton Head. Nick says that Harbourtown, which he played many times, was his favourite course on the PGA Tour and explains why. He also says that it has one of the worst driving ranges on tour. Mark loves the trees, and goes into a tirade about golf course designers, golf course committees, and anyone in general who cuts down beautiful trees and replaces them with inappropriate ones on golf courses. We discuss JT's win, and his comments about asking for Xander Schauffele's help with his putting (here). Leads to a chat about 'home base'. Nick explains what his home base was, Mark talks to his, and we discuss Scottie Schefflers. Nick explains how Cam Smith's mirror works for him.A voicemail: a wolfpacker heard Nick's Top 5 'unwatchable' players a couple of weeks back, and feels that he missed an obvious one. Mark follows Stats Guru Lou Stagner on Twitter (here) and lists some stats that Lou posted on Rory's Masters performance. Staggering. During the Turn Nick casually drops a massive statement about Tommy Fleetwood, Mark disagrees. We discuss. But there is one thing about Tommy Fleetwood that Nick and Mark agree on which Mark says needs to 'stop immediately'.A Top 5 (or is it 6?) from Nick, suggested by Wolfpack member Skyla. Top 5 Mulligans. Nick loves it and lists his. Mark tells a story about Tour Pro Scott Hoch at a dinner in Auckland where things took a bad turn when Scott criticised the calamari.Feedback. Two main themes: Marks comments that Rory made the greatest shot ever on 15 at The Masters, which we'll come back to and do a bonus pod on. And the '4 sackable offences' chat. Feedback was split, most very passionate. We read out some of each. And Mark wants to hear from anyone who was at The Masters, about what it was like being there.More drama with PING Global results. Mark has gone rogue. This won't end well. And a masterclass from Mark to finish the show on 'starting' your golf swing.We do the show from Titleist and FootJoy HQ, thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.

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.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Valero Texas Open live from San Antonio at TPC San Antonio (Oaks). -Discussing top 8 on odds board -1 matchup -1 t10, 1 t20 -3 outrights (30/1, 55/1, 110/1) -Sleeper, 2 FRP, 2 lineups -Scoring, best bet For the latest as far as the world of golf, follow Doc on X @drmedia59 In the VALSPAR25 Golf Preview Podcast, Will Doctor recaps the Houston Open and offers a detailed betting breakdown for the upcoming Valero Texas Open. He opens by acknowledging a disappointing week in Houston, losing 5.5 units, bringing his season total to -53.8 units. Minwoo Lee claimed his first PGA Tour title, winning by one over Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland. Though Minwoo only hit 22 of 52 fairways, his dominance on and around the greens—15th in approach and around-the-green, and 2nd in putting—secured the win. Alejandro Tosti, known for his distance (4th at 317 yards), finished T-5 after a solid Sunday despite a rough start. Gary Woodland's emotional runner-up, his best since brain surgery, was fueled by elite putting and iron play. Scottie Scheffler posted his best putting week of 2025 and nearly chased down Minwoo with a final round 63, birdieing holes 13 through 16. Will's picks last week largely faltered. Davis Thompson (T-27) had a strong middle stretch but imploded on the greens Sunday with several missed short putts. Mac Meissner (T-39) drove poorly, finishing 67th in strokes gained off the tee, but impressed with iron play. Tony Finau missed a top-20 finish by two shots due to negative iron stats and a disastrous four-putt on Saturday's 15th hole. Minwoo Lee's top-20 bet hit, but Mackenzie Hughes lost top Canadian to Taylor Pendrith, who posted three rounds of 65. Looking ahead to the Valero Texas Open, Will previews a course demanding driving accuracy and elite short game on firm Bermuda greens. He dismisses favorites Ludwig Aberg (12-1), Tommy Fleetwood (14-1), Patrick Cantlay (20-1), Hideki Matsuyama (20-1), Keegan Bradley (25-1), and Jordan Spieth (25-1) due to recent struggles, poor pricing, or course history. Corey Conners, despite being 18-1, gets a top-10 pick (+175) based on his consistent form and two past wins at TPC San Antonio. Akshay Bhatia, the defending champion, earns a top-20 nod at even money given his recent top finishes. Will's outrights include Denny McCarthy (30-1), praised for elite putting and consistent irons; Bud Cauley (55-1), coming off two top-10s with sharp ball striking; and Isaiah Salinda (110-1), a powerful, accurate rookie who dazzled late in Houston. Woodland, fresh off his emotional T-2, is his sleeper pick for a top-10 finish at 4-1. First-round picks are Cauley (+450) and Salinda (+650) to top-10, both teeing off early. His DraftKings lineup features Bhatia, McCarthy, Cauley, Woodland, Salinda, and Meissner, while the PGA Tour Fantasy roster has Bhatia, McCarthy, Cauley, Salinda (captain), Woodland, and Lee Hodges. With potential wind and rain forecasted, Will predicts a winning score of 16-under. His best bet: Salinda to finish top-20 at 3-1.

Joe's in storytelling mode this week with two belters about the time he met Rory McIlroy at Celtic Manor and a little-known piece of insight into Tiger Woods' rudimentary equipment secret. We're also bringing back the explainer this week to talk about (get your giggles out of the way now) shaft length. It is a vital and often misunderstood part of the fitting process that has an impact on pretty much everything from distance to consistency - Joe is here to explain exactly how to get it right for your game. Finally, this week's What's In The Bag is on Tommy Fleetwood. Joe has a direct line to Tommy Fleetwood's actual fitter at TaylorMade HQ, so we've got plenty of insights to share about the Englishman's 2025 set-up.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Valspar Championship, plus an outright winner for the Porsche Singapore Classic. -Top 7 on odds board discussion -1 matchup -2 p2p -3 outrights (70/1, 80/1, 110/1) -Sleeper -FRP -2 lineups, scoring, best bet -Porsche Singapore outright For more on the world of golf, follow Doc on X @ drmedia59 The Valspar Championship at Copperhead Course in Innisbrook, Florida, features a competitive field of 25 of the world's top 50 golfers. The tournament is known for its demanding layout, particularly the final stretch, called the Snake Pit, which plays over par and requires precision. Last year's winner, Peter Malnati, took the title at 12 under, while past winners like Taylor Moore and Sam Burns have also thrived under similar conditions. This year's field includes major names like Justin Thomas, Tommy Fleetwood, Xander Schauffele, Sepp Straka, Shane Lowry, Corey Conners, and Will Zalatoris, all looking to capture the title. Rory McIlroy enters the tournament fresh off a win at The Players Championship, where he staged a comeback and secured his 28th PGA Tour victory in a three-hole playoff against J.J. Spaun. Key betting insights for the Valspar Championship include outright picks, matchups, and placement bets. Among the favorites, Corey Conners stands out as a strong option for a Top 20 finish (+115, MGM), given his excellent form and consistent iron play. Lucas Glover, a five-time PGA Tour winner, is an attractive outright pick at 70-1, with a history of strong finishes at Copperhead and an improving putter. Taylor Moore, the 2023 Valspar champion, is listed at 80-1 and has found accuracy off the tee again. Ryan Gerard, another dark horse at 110-1, has shown promise in previous tournaments, particularly with his putting. A top sleeper pick is Kaito Onishi, available at 10-1 for a Top 40 finish. Onishi played at Innisbrook during his junior career and could surprise the field. The best matchup bet for this tournament is Bud Cauley over Sam Stevens (-110). Cauley has been showing steady improvement, finishing T-6 at The Players, while Stevens has been struggling with iron play and putting. Another key first-round bet is Chandler Phillips to finish in the Top 10 after Round 1 (+650, MGM). Phillips has been opening tournaments well, including a T-3 finish at last year's Valspar. Fantasy lineups for DraftKings and PGA Tour Fantasy focus on players who excel in ball striking and accuracy, including Corey Conners, Lucas Glover, Taylor Moore, Bud Cauley, Adam Schenk, and Kaito Onishi. These selections are based on recent performance trends and their suitability for the Copperhead Course. In addition to the Valspar Championship, the DP World Tour's Porsche Singapore Classic presents another betting opportunity. Rising Chinese star Ding Winyi, available at 40-1, has recorded four Top 25 finishes in ten DP World Tour starts. At just 20 years old, Winyi has already won the 2024 Asia Pacific Amateur Championship and is quickly establishing himself as a contender. The winning score prediction for the Valspar Championship is 15 under, given favorable weather conditions. The best bet for the event is Lucas Glover to finish in the Top 10 (+320, MGM), as he has a proven record of strong performances at Copperhead and is in excellent form. This preview covers all aspects of the Valspar Championship and Porsche Singapore Classic, from outright winners and sleeper picks to fantasy golf strategies and best bets for the week. Tune in next week for a preview of the Houston Open, where top players, including Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, will compete for another major title. Learn more about your ad choices.

(00:01) Indoor Golf Technology and Instruction This chapter welcomes listeners to a golf-centric discussion featuring top instructors Jeff Smith and James Hong. We explore the benefits of indoor golf facilities, particularly during winter, as well as advancements in golf technology. With simulators and launch monitors, practicing indoors has become increasingly accurate, allowing players to hone their skills regardless of the weather. The conversation also touches on the latest innovations, like the Foresight launch monitor that syncs with Bushnell rangefinders, offering real-time data to improve decision-making on the course. This technology could streamline the game by suggesting clubs and potentially speeding up play, underscoring the exciting intersection of golf and tech. (13:31) Improving Golf Alignment Perception This chapter focuses on the challenges of perception and alignment in golf, particularly for amateur players. We explore techniques for improving aim, such as using alignment sticks and creating a practice station to train the eye and mind. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding personal perception of straight lines and how it affects aiming on the course. By examining how different people perceive alignment, I demonstrate methods to help golfers correct their aim, such as placing clubs across the body to visualize alignment and using finger spacing to gauge accurate aiming points. This practical approach emphasizes consistent practice and adjusting techniques based on individual perception, ultimately helping players improve their accuracy and performance. (21:06) Donut Debate and Golf Instruction This chapter explores the intricacies of golf alignment and the challenges golfers face in maintaining proper aim. We share a detailed anecdote about a regular client who struggles with aligning his shots, illustrating how small adjustments and understanding peripheral vision can improve accuracy. We also touch on the humorous side of golfing practice, noting how sometimes, despite hitting beautiful shots, perception can skew a golfer's understanding of their performance. As the conversation shifts, we take a lighthearted detour discussing the ongoing debate between Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' Donuts, highlighting personal experiences and the regional preferences that can affect a brand's success. (24:53) Optimizing Golf Swing With Age This chapter focuses on the adjustments and mindset shifts necessary for aging golfers to maintain their game. We emphasize the importance of managing expectations, especially regarding distance loss as players age. Strategies to minimize distance loss include maintaining physical fitness without excessive gym routines and adjusting one's swing style. By exploring different swing styles, such as those of Tommy Fleetwood and Vijay Singh, we discuss finding a technique that suits an individual's natural movement. Additionally, we address the challenge of conflicting advice from instructors and tipsters, highlighting the need for golfers to focus on what aligns with their body's capabilities rather than blindly following trends or professional golfers' techniques. The importance of personalized instruction and avoiding one-size-fits-all tips is stressed, encouraging players to develop a game plan that works uniquely for them. (30:48) Indoor Golf Technology Advancements This chapter explores the humorous and often frustrating world of unsolicited golf advice, as we share anecdotes about how well-intentioned tips from fellow golfers can sometimes derail a round. We also touch on the importance of professional lessons and the stubbornness of some golfers who proudly avoid them. As we navigate through these stories, we introduce our guest, James Hong, and discuss the rise of indoor golf facilities as an alternative during harsh weather conditions. These venues, likened to bowling alleys, have benefitted from advancements in technology, offering improved golf mats that closely replicate grass conditions. Finally, we reminisce about an innovative mat suspended on magnets, showcased at a past PGA show, highlighting the evolution of golf practice tools. (43:52) Embracing Indoor Golf Technology and Instruction This chapter explores the transformation of indoor teaching environments with the integration of modern technology. We discuss how embracing these changes has shifted the perception of indoor spaces from being dark and claustrophobic to open and airy. A key example highlighted is Jeff's indoor studio in Indiana, which features a large space and high ceilings, showcasing how such environments can positively impact teaching and learning experiences. James and I express gratitude to Jeff for sharing his insights and experiences, emphasizing the importance of adapting to and appreciating these innovative spaces. We encourage our listeners to take note of these advancements in educational settings.
-Discussing top 7 favorites in Cabo -2 matchups -2 outrights -Sleeper -FRL, scoring, best bet -Abu Dhabi HSBC outright For more on the world of golf, follow Doc on X @drmedia59 The Worldwide Technology Championship (WTC) at El Cardinal and the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship at Yaz Links feature prominently in this preview by Will Doctor on Pregame's Golf Podcast. With insights on player form, betting odds, and course fit, the guide provides analysis and top betting picks. Event Overview The WTC at El Cardinal, Cabo San Lucas, favors high-scoring players with strong putting. It's a prime opportunity for players vying for PGA Tour status. The Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, however, brings a stronger field for the DP World Tour's playoff stretch in Dubai, featuring players like Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood. Key Player Analyses Max Graesserman (18-1) – Graesserman's recent hot streak with his putter is promising, though his approach stats (104th in the PGA) and lack of wins caution against an outright win bet. Better value lies in matchup bets. Cameron Young (20-1) – Although a skilled player, Young has struggled with putting and hasn't won this year. Doctor believes 20-1 is too high given his recent inconsistencies. Doug Gim (25-1) – A top pick, Gim's scoring capabilities and recent runner-up in Vegas make him a strong choice for an outright win, despite occasional inconsistency across four rounds. Bo Hosler (25-1) – Hosler has shown promise but struggles with iron play and final-round stability, making him less suitable for a high-scoring course like El Cardinal. Harry Hall (28-1) – Hall's scoring average and birdie potential make him an interesting pick, particularly in matchups against struggling players like Tom Hoagie. Lucas Glover (28-1) – Despite good finishes, Glover's weak putting makes him a risky pick for a course demanding birdies. Matchup Recommendations Graesserman over McNeely: McNeely's recent struggles with the putter make this a favorable matchup for Graesserman. Hall over Hoagie: Hall's strong scoring record contrasts with Hoagie's driver and putter issues, making Hall the better pick. Top Outright Picks for WTC Doug Gim (25-1) – Doctor favors Gim for his strong recent form and scoring ability. Harris English (30-1) – Although inconsistent with irons, English's putting and experience make him a good candidate in a straightforward course setup. Sleeper & First-Round Picks Carson Young (Top 20) – Young's course familiarity and recent top finishes make him a strong sleeper pick. Rico Hoey (5-1, Top 10 After Round 1) – Known for low first-round scores, Hoey ranks well for a first-round top-10 finish. Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship Pick Nikola Hojgaard (45-1) – Hojgaard's familiarity with UAE courses and recent strong performances make him Doctor's choice for an outright win at Yaz Links, despite a tough season. Conclusion Doctor expects a high-scoring event at El Cardinal, with the winner likely needing 25 under par. He places strong confidence in Doug Gim and Harris English for the WTC, while Hojgaard is favored in Abu Dhabi due to his experience in Dubai courses. This preview guides fans with focused insights for strategic betting across both tours. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Matt Cook and Buttsy dive into the President's Cup with insights from Tour Insider Brent Grant. They discuss the impact of LIV Golf players, Tom Kim's influence, and the dynamic between Wyndham Clark and Ben An. The conversation shifts to the media's discomfort with player authenticity and the nuances of match play dynamics. Brent shares a story about Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood, while the Swannies Style Segment evaluates Team USA and International Team outfits. The episode previews the Sanderson Farms Championship, providing course analysis and host picks. Updates on LIV Golf and PGA Tour-PIF discussions are covered, along with the Alfred Dunhill Cup and Korn Ferry Tour competitiveness.
Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and Korn Ferry Tour Championship! -Top 5 favs for Dunhill -2 matchups for Dunhill -1 t10 for Dunhill -2 outrights for Dunhill -Dunhill best bet -KFT Championship outright -KFT Championship best bet Summary Alfred Dunhill Links Championship Jon Rahm (0:54 - 5:20) Jon Rahm opens at +650, fresh off a second-place finish at the Open de España. Despite his strong recent form, Will Doctor passes on Rahm due to the unpredictable nature of his game and the ongoing conflict between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour. Rahm's excellent play over the past month is acknowledged, but his missed cut at this event in 2019 and distractions from the LIV-PGA dispute make him a risky pick. Rory McIlroy (5:21 - 10:30) McIlroy, priced at +700, has several near-wins this season, including a playoff loss at the BMW PGA Championship. His putting has been outstanding, but Will Doctor is concerned about potential distractions as McIlroy is paired with prominent figures in the pro-am. Despite McIlroy's stellar form and strong history at the Dunhill, Will Doctor opts to skip him this week, but favors McIlroy over Rahm. Tyrrell Hatton vs. Tommy Fleetwood (11:00 - 16:00) Hatton, priced at 11-1, has won this event twice but has struggled with slow starts this year. Will Doctor backs Hatton in a matchup against Fleetwood, whose poor putting and recent finishes (no better than 22nd) at the Dunhill raise concerns. Fleetwood's past success at the Dunhill, including multiple second-place finishes, is overshadowed by recent struggles. Shane Lowry (16:01 - 18:00) Lowry, priced at 20-1, is passed over due to his subpar putting. Despite strong ball striking, Will Doctor believes Lowry's struggles on the greens will keep him from contending this week. Robert MacIntyre vs. Shane Lowry (18:01 - 21:00) Will Doctor picks MacIntyre over Lowry in a matchup, citing MacIntyre's recent solid play, including a win at the Scottish Open and multiple top finishes. MacIntyre's consistent driving and putting make him a safer pick than Lowry. Grant Forrest (22:00 - 25:00) Forrest is Will Doctor's first outright pick, priced at 80-1. His recent form, including top-10 finishes at the Irish Open and Open de España, along with strong past performances at the Dunhill, make him a contender. Will Doctor also picks Forrest for a top-10 finish at +375. Tom McKibben (25:01 - 27:00) McKibben, at 60-1, is another outright pick. Despite recent struggles, McKibben's strong driving and iron play are highlighted as key strengths. His 10th-place finish at the BMW PGA signals a return to form, making him a value bet for this week. Best Bet: Nicholas Norgaard Over Patrick Reed (27:01 - 30:00) Norgaard is chosen over Reed at -115. Norgaard's recent win at the British Masters and strong play over the past month make him a reliable pick, while Reed's top-10 finish last week is attributed mostly to luck with putting. Korn Ferry Tour Championship John Pak (30:01 - 33:00) Pak, priced at 45-1, is Will Doctor's outright pick. Pak has shown recent improvement, finishing in the top 15 in his last two starts. Will Doctor believes Pak is well-positioned to win and secure a PGA Tour card. Isaiah Salenda (33:01 - 35:00) Salenda is Will Doctor's best bet for a top-20 finish at +320. His long drives make him well-suited for the demanding Pete Dye course, and Will Doctor expects him to rebound after a missed cut last week. Conclusion Will Doctor closes by encouraging listeners to stay tuned for more coverage and to review his Sanderson Farms Championship preview. His picks for the Alfred Dunhill Links and Korn Ferry Tour Championship offer a mix of well-researched matchups, outright winners, and best bets to guide bettors for the upcoming tournaments.

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. Summary Rory McIlroy at +625 is the favorite. Tommy Fleetwood struggles to close, making him a risky pick. Shane Lowry is inconsistent with his irons. Matteo Manassero at 40-1 is a great value pick. Billy Horschel has struggled recently. Bet on McIlroy over Fleetwood at -130. Romain Langasque is a solid bet over Campillo. Sleeper: Sepp Straka to top 10 at +320. Best bet: Matteo Manassero to top 20 at +175. Winning score prediction: 17 under par. Follow Doc on X @drmedia59 for the latest on the world of golf! Learn more about your ad choices.

It is everything Olympic golf this week as we review the mens portion of the 2024 Olympics at Le Golf National outside of Paris, France. Scottie Scheffler lit up the golf course firing a final round 62 and after a Jon Rahm collapse on the back 9, stormed his way to the gold medal. Tommy Fleetwood and Hideki Matsuyama took home the silver and bronze as a star studded field put on a show at the top of the leaderboard, both good and bad. We will also be diving into our under par challenge, as we are one week in and still no one has fired an under par round. We will talk about what it takes to do that compared to what it would take to break 80. Make sure to subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple & Spotify for weekly golf content.

An incredible Sunday at the Olympics prompts this early recording from Andy and Brendan, as they react to Scottie Scheffler getting the gold, Jon Rahm collapsing on the back nine, Rory making a run before splashing late, Xander bowing out, and Tommy Fleetwood upholding the legacy of the Silver Slovak. They discuss if Olympics golf has an official moment that will elevate its place in the sport overall, even asking some hypotheticals about whether this means more than a major. They relay the players' commentary supporting some of the weight, and importance of the day, including that of Rory McIlroy, which led to a minor rebuke and shot from Xander Schauffele. They also discuss the NBC coverage throughout the weekend, Le Golf National, and the future of Olympics golf with LA up next.
