Andy and Brendan return after a eventful weekend of sports losses and an "uneventful" weekend of pro golf. Andy is still in the dumps after the Cubs loss in the NLDS, but claims a Victory Monday for Chicago anyway. It was an eventful weekend in French Lick, Indiana at the Korn Ferry Tour finals. Andy and Brendan run through the Top 20 bubble and discuss many of the players that earned their PGA Tour cards for next year. They also commend the KFT broadcast crew for bringing something different to viewers before wondering what Brian Rolapp was thinking during his trip to French Lick. On the PGA Tour, Xander Schauffele found his way back to the winner's circle at the Baycurrent Classic in Japan. This was Xander's tenth PGA Tour win, leading to a discussion about how many he'll end up with at the end of his career. Unlike the KFT booth, Andy was less than impressed with the Baycurrent broadcast and calls for more analysts to tell it like it is. Brendan is fired up that the year of Marco Penge rolls on after his big win at the Spanish Open. Penge will now be in next year's Open and Masters and said post-round that he thinks he's set up for success at Augusta. PJ checks on his Masters odds and finds that Penge's priced lower than one recent major champion! In perhaps the biggest news of the week, the LPGA's streak is over. Jeeno Thitikul won the Buick LPGA Shanghai, becoming the first repeat winner of 2025. The greens at this event were under fire all week for poor conditioning and Brendan was excited to see some pros having to handle muni-like conditions. Alex Cjeka won the final Champions Tour event of the regular season and the "senior mules" are unhappy about Brian Rolapp's recent cuts to the pension program. As for the rest of the news from this weekend, it came out that J.J. Spaun was held out of foursomes at the Ryder Cup due to his golf ball. Andy suggests maybe it's time for golf to have just one ball to use like every other sport does. The two then discuss the current state of Tiger Woods following another back surgery and where his place in today's game may be. Will he even play a TGL match again, much less any on-course golf? To end the show, Andy demands that PJ apologize for an abysmal performance from Justin Fields on national television as the Jets remain winless in 2025.

(00:00) PGA and Ryder Cup Insights This chapter opens with a discussion about the PGA Tour's presence in Japan and the excitement surrounding PGA tournaments, with mentions of betting odds on players like Xander Schauffele. We transition into a conversation about various sports, including a reflection on the performance of the Boston Red Sox, the New England Patriots, and the Indianapolis Colts. There's an engaging dialogue about the financial aspects of the Ryder Cup, focusing on the $800,000 payout to participants and the impact on caddies and families. The debate touches on whether the PGA of America's funds should prioritize "growing the game" or focus on business interests. We also examine the evolution of the PGA Junior League and the dynamics of competitive youth sports. The chapter concludes with thoughts on Ryder Cup captaincy and player selection, hinting at potential improvements for future events. (14:30) Improving Golf Performance With Course Analysis This chapter explores the nuances of golf, focusing on how golfers can improve their game by understanding their ball flight and effectively using the tee box. We discuss the importance of aiming and adjusting to individual ball flight tendencies, as well as the benefits of practicing on the course rather than just the driving range. We emphasize the importance of alignment and how tools like alignment sticks can aid in maintaining proper posture and alignment, both on the range and on the course. The conversation also touches on practical teaching methods for golfers, highlighting the challenges of different shot scenarios, such as uphill lies and uneven fairway conditions, and how to manage them effectively. Additionally, there's a humorous exchange about body image and teaching styles, showcasing the lighter side of coaching and camaraderie in golf. (22:37) Unlocking Golf Improvement Secrets This chapter addresses the common frustrations golfers face and how expert guidance can help alleviate these issues. We discuss the multiple factors that can influence a golf swing, such as ball position, stance, and grip, and emphasize the importance of seeking professional advice to identify and correct these variables. We highlight the benefits of taking students directly onto the golf course to observe their playstyle and decision-making in real-time. This approach not only helps us understand the golfer's thinking and playing habits but also fosters a strong teacher-student relationship. By examining specific scenarios, such as the choice of club for a 60-yard shot, we demonstrate how small adjustments and strategic thinking can lead to significant improvements in a golfer's game. Ultimately, we focus on teaching players to consider various aspects of the game beyond just club selection, which is crucial for lowering handicaps and enhancing overall performance. (29:44) Revolutionizing Golf Instruction With AI This chapter explores the challenges and potential of improving one's golf game, particularly focusing on the short game and teaching techniques. We discuss how legendary golfers like Severiano Ballesteros serve as models for current teaching methods, but also how modern technology, including AI, can tailor these methods to individual needs, taking into account factors like body type and mindset. The importance of simplicity and the value of targeted advice, even from top-tier coaches like Butch Harmon, are highlighted. We emphasize how one or two key tips can significantly improve performance and enjoyment, making the game more accessible and enjoyable for both seasoned athletes and newcomers. We also touch on the renewed interest in golf schools post-pandemic, and the unique social and learning benefits they offer. (37:23) Mastering Bunker Shots With Expert Tips This chapter explores various techniques for hitting golf shots from challenging positions, such as bunkers and high grass. Scott shares his method of using a tomahawk-like approach to tackle short-sighted, buried shots, while Jeff offers tips for playing off the toe in high grass. We emphasize the importance of adapting to different lies and situations, suggesting that golfers should carry multiple clubs and make decisions at the ball. Additionally, we stress the value of coaching and lessons to improve one's game, sharing a story about a golfer inspired to take lessons after witnessing a well-executed shot. By gaining exposure to different techniques and situations, golfers can enhance their performance and enjoyment of the game. (43:43) Energized Coaching for Better Golf This chapter focuses on the importance of energy and expertise in learning and coaching, particularly in sports like golf. We explore how having the right coach, someone who brings enthusiasm and knowledge every day, can significantly enhance your learning experience. By sharing examples from various fields, including NFL coaches who continue to excel well into their 70s and 80s, we emphasize that the key to improvement lies in finding a mentor who can inspire and motivate you. The discussion highlights that by playing better, you naturally want to play more, making it essential to invest in quality lessons and guidance. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dans une semaine, c'est le grand moment de la saison avec la 45eme Ryder Cup de l'histoire ! Les américains recevront les européens, à Bethpage dans l'État de New York, avec l'espoir de récupérer le trophée. Fin août, Keegan Bradley n'a donc pas osé s'auto-sélectionner. Le capitaine de l'équipe US a finalement décidé de ne pas placer son nom parmi les six joueurs invités à compléter son équipe de douze. Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay et Sam Burns rejoignent Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English et Bryson DeChambeau. Quatre joueurs découvriront pour la première fois l'ambiance, l'exigence, la pression d'une Ryder Cup. Keegan Bradley a-t-il pris trop de risques ? C'est le débat du Practice RMC avec Jean-Christophe Drouet et la Dream Team Fabien Donoyan, Ramuntcho Artola et Martin Coulomb.
Xander Schauffele joins the show to talk about becoming a father, battling through struggles in his game, his partnership with Patrick Cantlay, and looking ahead to the Ryder Cup.

Gholf: Keegan Bradley het besluit om homself nie as spelende kaptein vir die Amerikaanse Ryderbeker-span te kies nie. Hy het Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay en Sam Burns benoem as sy ses keuses vir volgende maand se Ryderbeker teen Europa in New York. Die ses plekke vir outomatiese kwalifiseerders is vroeër die maand ingeneem deur Scottie Scheffler, JJ Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English en Bryson DeChambeau. Bradley sê dit was ʼn moeilike besluit om nie deel te neem nie:
As promised on Wednesday's episode, Kevin Van Valkenburg returns to discuss the 2021 BMW Championship at Caves Valley and the ensuing SGS episode that continues to live in infamy. Before KVV comes in, Brendan keeps PJ in the big chair to run through some press conference quotes and results from the first round of this year's BMW. Brendan unleashes a rant about the proliferation of the Little League World Series across ESPN properties, leading to a lengthy discussion about the state of youth sports and selling out to private equity. From there, early storylines from the BMW start to emerge including plenty about next month's Ryder Cup. Scottie Scheffler doesn't want to talk about the upcoming matches at Bethpage, but Rory and Keegan both had some thoughts about a playing captain in their pre-tournament pressers in Baltimore. Brendan and PJ also preview LIV Indianapolis, share some concern about Xander Schauffele in this lost season for him, and check in on match play at the U.S. Am. KVV then comes in to join Brendan as the two remember their time at the birth of "Patty Ice" against a villainous Bryson DeChambeau at the 2021 BMW Championship.
Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the BMW Championship and best outright ticket for the Danish Golf Championship -Reviewing Memphis featuring sound from Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Scottie Scheffler -Rickie Fowler sig. event points situation, hearing from Fowler on performance in Memphis -Ryder Cup scenarios featuring sound of Cantlay discussing Ryder Cup hopes and Keegan's dilemma -Discussing top 7 on odds board at Caves -1 matchup, 1 t10 -1 BMW outright (40/1) -Sleeper, 2 FRL, 2 lineups, scoring -Best Bet -Danish Golf Championship outright (35/1) Will Doctor opens with energy, introducing the BMW Championship at Caves Valley as week two of the FedExCup Playoffs and recapping a dramatic Memphis finish where Justin Rose, at 175–1 odds, claimed his 12th PGA Tour title by birdieing four of his last five holes to beat J.J. Spaun. Rose described his win as stoic, marked by determination and calmness, admitting that focus on execution muted his joy in the moment. Tommy Fleetwood, seeking his first PGA Tour win, led after 54 holes but faltered, finishing second; he emphasized gratitude for fan support and the importance of learning from close calls. Scottie Scheffler briefly shared the final-round lead but lost nearly 1.5 strokes putting on Sunday, missing the playoff by one. Key FedExCup changes saw Kitayama, Cauley, Fowler, Vegas, and Poston move into the top 50 while Potgieter, Spieth, Knapp, Clark, and Martin dropped out. Fowler, who finished T6, knew roughly a top 10 was needed and edged Chris Kirk by one shot to advance. Doctor defended Fowler against criticism over sponsor exemptions, blaming reduced field sizes for controversy, and highlighted that Memphis drew 3.6 million viewers, the best since 2018. Doctor's betting card suffered as Scheffler's Sunday putting cost multiple wagers. Brad Payne, caddying for Scheffler, noted good putts simply didn't fall, while Scheffler praised Spaun's grit. A win came via Jacob Bridgman over Potgieter, but Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, and Harris English underperformed. On the European Tour, a bet on Christopher Broberg failed as Grant Forrest prevailed. Ryder Cup standings for Team USA show locks in Scheffler, Spaun, Schauffele, Henley, DeChambeau, English, and Thomas, with Morikawa, Bradley, McNeely, and Novak on the bubble. Contenders like Young, Cantlay, and Goderup remain in play. Cantlay endorsed Bradley's inclusion if he were captain. Team Europe's locks include McIlroy, Rose, Fleetwood, McIntyre, Hatton, Straka, Lowry, Oberg, Hovland, and Fitzpatrick, with Højgaard and Wallace vulnerable; Jon Rahm will take a spot, and others could qualify with strong finishes. Caves Valley's redesign features rebuilt greens, narrowed fairways, and lengthened holes, now a par 70 over 7,600 yards. Doctor reviewed top contenders: Scheffler's form remains strong despite a caddie change, McIlroy's driving accuracy is a concern, Schauffele and Thomas struggle with consistency, Fleetwood and Oberg offer solid form but questionable value, and Cantlay's price is too short given recent results. This week's picks include Fowler over Lowry, Sam Burns for a top 10, Matthew Fitzpatrick outright at 40–1, and Denny McCarthy as sleeper top 10. First round leaders are Scheffler and Burns. The DraftKings lineup features Young, Burns, Fitzpatrick, Fowler, McCarthy, and Novak, with Scheffler as best bet for top American. Doctor also tips Sami Välimäki to win the Danish Golf Championship at 35–1, citing improved iron play and consistent driving and putting.

SK and CH briefly look ahead to wonder ... could Scottie complete his career Grand Slam at Shinnecock Hills in 2026 ... on Father's Day ... which also happens to be his 30th birthday??? The script writes itself! Smylie and Charlie also offer a toast to the 2025 major season, discuss the day that failed to materialize for Rory McIlroy, and Bryson DeChambeau's incredible surge and mental fortitude to play Friday through Sunday at 16-under after shooting 78 on Thursday, while also reading quotes from Wyndham Clark in the wake of recent news about his ban from Oakmont.

Andy and Brendan! went live on YouTube as play wrapped up to recap an... eventful... Thursday at Quail Hollow. They discuss the supergroup of Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, and Rory McIlroy's struggles both on and off the course, the ongoing debate over the "fairness" of mudballs, and take a look at a different leaderboard than we've been used to at recent major championships. They also hit on Phil Mickelson tying his worst-ever round at a PGA Championship, some more major disappointment for Joaquin Niemann, and were still live as Viktor Hovland, Justin Thomas, and Bryson DeChambeau wrapped up their Thursdays. The Regions Tradition is briefly covered after Richard Green's record-breaking round at Greystone.

Rumor has it that Brendan is still in line to ride Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure, so Andy is joined by "The Boys" (Joseph LaMagna and PJ Clark) to preview the Zurich Classic and the rest of this week in golf. Andy and Joseph run through some notable pairings for this week's team event on the PGA Tour, a tournament that some have called the "Mule Super Bowl." Joseph shares his take that more players should participate in the Zurich due to the amount of FedEx Cup points at stake in an event where one can be carried by a teammate. Andy and "The Boys" make up a few teams that they wish were in the field for this week, calling back memories of iconic moments in SGS history and wondering how some players could earn their first wins on the PGA Tour. Andy grills PJ about the future of Champions Tour Minute following his big interview with John Daly, and the Senior Tour's return is previewed ahead of the Mitsubishi Classic. Joseph and Andy run through the top storylines ahead of the first women's major of the year, the Chevron Championship, taking place in Texas this weekend. In news, Xander Schauffele debuted his new app and has PJ hooked on all of his exclusive content with more to come soon, and a new crop of "creators" are involved in the next Creator Classic, leading to Joseph wondering what Wes Bryan and the rest of the original crew are up to.

They also dive into fellow contenders Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg, and a LIV contingent featuring Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, Joaquin Niemann, and more.
