Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to a busy first day of the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. He gives thoughts on unexpected leader J.J. Spaun; local hero Matt Vogt; and top-ranked names including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas and more. Then later, he weighs in on Steelers coach Mike Tomlin's decision not to rule out a training camp holdout for star pass rusher T.J. Watt.

With the 2025 U.S. Open set to begin this week at Oakmont, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme discuss quotes from Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele and Justin Thomas in preparation for what is arguably the most difficult test in major championship golf. Smylie analyzes the large, fast, and dramatically sloped green complexes at Oakmont, and the role that the poa annua grass on those greens could help determine this week's winner. Smylie and Charlie also go in-depth on biggest names tipped to win at Oakmont, and make their picks for the week. From Bryson DeChambeau's precision to John Rahm's mindset, they analyze top contenders, highlight form players, and even discuss under-the-radar picks. Plus, the crew shares hilarious travel stories, from culturally immersive Airbnbs to Taco Bell pit stops, showcasing the lighter side of major championship weeks.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for the U.S. Open at Oakmont. -Going over top 7 names on odds board -1 matchup -2 top nationality tickets -3 futures outrights (+350, 14/1, 18/1) -2 outrights added (100/1 & 150/1) -Sleeper, 2 lineups, scoring -Best bet For more on the world of golf, follow Doc on X @drmedia59 In the "U.S. Open at Oakmont Picks and Predictions" podcast, Will Doctor provides a comprehensive betting preview of the upcoming U.S. Open at Oakmont. Beginning at 0:16, Doctor sets the tone with energetic anticipation, positioning Oakmont as a legendary course hosting the U.S. Open for a record tenth time. From 0:43, he sharply critiques the previous RBC Canadian Open, describing the Osprey Valley course as “a disgrace” and detailing a 5.8-unit loss that week, with Sam Burns' top-20 finish as the lone success. Despite the setbacks, he praises Ryan Fox's recent success, highlighting the Kiwi's two playoff victories in four starts and his historic Canadian Open win, the first by a New Zealander since 1968. Doctor then shifts focus to Oakmont's rich history. He recounts notable U.S. Open wins, including Tommy Armour (1927), Sam Parks Jr. (1935), and Ben Hogan's record-setting 1953 season. He emphasizes Jack Nicklaus' 1962 victory over Arnold Palmer at age 22, which kickstarted Nicklaus' legendary career. Johnny Miller's final-round 63 in 1973 is labeled the greatest round in U.S. Open history, despite not being the lowest score ever. Further champions like Larry Nelson (1983), Ernie Els (1994), Angel Cabrera (2007), and Dustin Johnson (2016) round out Oakmont's storied hosting record. At 12:00, Doctor begins his betting picks. He endorses Scottie Scheffler (+350) as outright number one, citing dominant recent wins and past experience at Oakmont, where he missed the cut by one in 2016. Bryson DeChambeau, with a futures ticket from December at 14-1, is lauded for his driving power and improved approach play, though his recent accuracy issues raise concern. DeChambeau claims Oakmont is “the toughest test in the world right now,” and Doctor remains confident in his form. Rory McIlroy is passed over due to a poor performance at the Canadian Open, including erratic driving and uninspired play. Doctor quotes Rory discussing his struggle for motivation and interest in hobbies like tennis. John Rahm, however, is preferred in a head-to-head matchup (-133), praised for his polished game despite recent putting inconsistency. Doctor argues Rahm is better equipped than Rory to handle Oakmont's demands. Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa are also faded. Xander's driving accuracy is flagged as a season-long weakness, and Morikawa is critiqued for losing strokes around the green in five of his last six starts, rendering him unfit for a major requiring elite scrambling. Ludwig Åberg is highlighted as a top Nordic pick at +180, benefiting from strong recent form and inconsistent competition, with Joachim Lagerlund identified as his main threat. Doctor names Hideki Matsuyama as top Japanese player at even money, emphasizing his elite U.S. Open history and the weak form of his countrymen. Outright picks include Scheffler (+350), DeChambeau (14-1), Brooks Koepka (18-1, faded due to poor form), Keegan Bradley (100-1, riding strong recent finishes), and Cam Young (150-1), who's gained strokes off the tee and on the greens recently. Young's playoff qualification over top names and his form earn him sleeper status. Two fantasy lineups are provided. A DraftKings build includes Rahm, Åberg, Spieth, Bradley, Young, and Leishman. The PGA Tour lineup features Scheffler (captain), Bradley, DeChambeau, and Young, with Åberg and Leishman on the bench. Doctor predicts a winning score of -3, depending on weekend rain, and offers Cam Young to finish top 28 at +320 as his best bet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

From a set overlooking the 18th green at Quail Hollow, Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap all the first round action on Thursday at the PGA Championship. Mudballs were the story of the day, with Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele both speaking up in post-round interviews after their approach shots at 16 were adversely impacted. Smylie and Charlie also take a look at a leaderboard missing many of the world's top players, and look at past majors for the last time a winner came from outside the top 50 in the world rankings.

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.

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.

This episode features Will McLaughlin. Will is a great golfer and a great story teller - I had a lot of fun talking with him. We cover his early years in golf and he shares a great story about shooting the course record at Concord Country Club two years ago. He also shares some great stories about playing with Xander Schauffele at the US Amateur. I really enjoyed hearing Will's perspective on golf and his approach to the mental side of the game - something I think a lot of golfers can benefit from. Thanks to my home course The Oaks for sponsoring the podcast this season. The course is fully open and in great shape - I got out there last week.

In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, hosts Mike Granato and Shaun Webb dive into what they believe is the most misunderstood—and most difficult—part of the golf swing: the transition. Specifically, they explore the “middle part” of the swing, the split-second moment between backswing and downswing that separates pros from amateurs.Most amateur golfers finish their backswing and start everything down at once—hips, arms, and club all move together. In contrast, elite players like Xander Schauffele maintain just enough rotational reserve to create a dynamic, sequenced transition. That stretch and separation allow for more clubhead speed, better face control, and fewer injuries.Mike and Shaun make the case for thinking of the golf swing as a unified “windup” instead of two distinct motions—backswing and downswing. They share lessons from tour pros, insights from motion capture data, and drills like continuous motion swings to help you feel the right stretch and sequencing in your own game.

The conclusion of the PGA TOUR Florida Swing starts tomorrow at the Valspar Championship. Let's get you caught up! No. 3 in the world Xander Schauffele has not been pleased with his game since returning from an injury before the Players Championship. Hear what he had to say to Kira K. Dixon on site as he looks to continue shaking the rust off of his game. Pro Football Hall of Famer and Tournament Co-Chair Ronde Barber is happy to have the 2-time major champion amongst a strong field at his event. We catch up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend on life after football, and just how bright the future is for the Valspar Championship after renewing the sponsorship rights this year. Peter Malnati made last year's edition of the tournament one we won't soon forget after his emotional win! We touch base with him a year after his signature win as a pro to see how he likes pulling up to an event as defending champion. Speaking of champions, the golf world is still abuzz after Rory McIlroy's big win at TPC Sawgrass. His coach and Golf Channel contributor Brad Faxon joins us from Innisbrook to give us insight into what he and the now 2-time players champion worked on to get his game into great shape early on this year.

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.

Welcome back to the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, where Fact Meets Fairway! In this episode, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb continue their deep dive into the 10 most common swing mistakes of 2024, and today's topic is one that wrecks consistency—getting the club laid off at the top of the backswing.Many golfers unknowingly push their club into a laid-off position, leading to steep transitions, weak ball flights, and major compensations on the downswing. Mike and Shaun break down the most common causes—including shut clubfaces, overactive wrist movements, and the dreaded “elbow pinning” technique—and explain why it makes ball-striking harder, not easier.You'll also hear why Xander Schauffele's swing transformation proves how fixing a laid-off backswing can take your game to the next level.Looking for expert coaching tailored to your swing?

At long last we get to see the world NO. 3 back on the PGA TOUR at the Arnold Palmer Invitational! Xander Schauffele is on the mend from a rib injury and will make his first start since The Sentry in early January. Todd Lewis joins the show from Bay Hill to give us an update on Xander, who gave us a sneak peek at his game playing in the TGL on Monday. Maverick McNealy will be teeing it up at Bay Hill this week as well. The then Stanford Men's Golf standout made the cut as an amateur in the 2016 edition of the API and was forever changed by his interactions with Arnie. Now a winner on TOUR, McNealy joins us to look back on the moments he got to spend with Mr. Palmer. Former PGA TOUR Pro Robert Damron had an even more extensive personal relationship with Arnold Palmer. He called in to share some classic stories with us about how 'The King' held court behind the scenes with his innumerable friends and loved ones. Beth Ann Nichols from Golfweek also stops by to discuss Lydia Ko's hot start to the LPGA season. Could Ko's win in Singapore set the LPGA Hall of Famer up for another monster campaign? Could she complete the Women's golf grand slam? Maverick McNealy (22:23) Robert Damron (31:23)

Andy is joined by 2008 Masters winner and CBS analyst Trevor Immelman for a wide-ranging conversation about the PGA Tour's first events of 2025. Andy and Trevor discuss a standout performance from Rory McIlroy at Pebble Beach, Xander Schauffele's injury, and Scottie Scheffler's return to play. They then get into the pace-of-play issues on the PGA Tour and the best ways to penalize those violating the Tour's policy. Trevor also discusses his thoughts on the proposed rollback and how it could benefit players at both the professional and amateur levels. Finally, the two briefly preview this week's Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines South.

In this episode of Inside Golf Podcast, Andy Lack (@adplacksports) is joined by Gabby Herzig of the Athletic to break down her eventful week at Pebble Beach and the current state of reporting on the PGA Tour. Gabby dives into her observations on Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, reporting on injury news, including Xander Schauffele and Ludvig Aberg, and of course, issues with pace of play and the PGA Tour's broadcast.

Andy and Brendan return with some immediate takeaways after Tiger's Jupiter Links GC lost to LAGC in a rout in Week 2 of TGL. The two debate agree that the product took a step back this week, with worse "on-course" gameplay and a choppier broadcast than the league's debut. Kevin Kisner was the star of the show, struggling mightily in gameplay but providing some laughs on the hot mic. On a positive note, Brendan was particularly impressed with Sahith Theegala, who showed off with his enthusiasm for the game and excitement to be playing against Tiger. Andy wonders how ESPN can get more "Golf IQ" involved in the broadcast in the hopes of elevating it as the season goes on. In non-virtual golf, Jon Rahm is clamoring for OWGR points for LIV events again, leading to a Brendan rant for the ages about these comments and ones from Butch Harmon about the current state of men's pro golf. Rahm, Rory, and others are set for the Dubai Desert Classic this week to start many of their seasons on the DP World Tour. In America, the PGA Tour's west coast swing begins at the American Express, boasting a strong field despite withdrawals by Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele. Picks are made for the Club TFE One-and-Done, with Andy, Brendan, and PJ confident in their selections for this week. Finally, the Champions Tour returns this week with Paul Azinger's analyst debut at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai. PJ previews the week and provides some things to watch for ahead of a full Champions Tour Minute after play concludes this weekend.
