Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Iran and told it the “clock is ticking,” hours after drones targeted a nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates.Tehran “better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them,” Trump said on Truth Social on Sunday. These were his most belligerent comments regarding the Iran war, which remains in a fragile ceasefire, since he returned to the US from China on Friday.2) Aaron Rai was just another name among a dozen others who had reason to believe the PGA Championship was theirs for the taking Sunday at tough Aronimink.There was Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Xander Schauffele, with 10 majors among them, all ready to seize the moment on a stage that was unfamiliar to Rai.Justin Thomas was the clubhouse leader for nearly four hours after a 65 before the course turned hard under a hot sun.3) Long Island commuters are poised to battle congested roads and packed buses as a workers’ strike threatens to disrupt travel in and out of New York City unless negotiators can strike a deal.Monday would be the first weekday since the Long Island Rail Road, the nation’s busiest commuter railroad, stopped service on Saturday after roughly 3,500 engineers, signalmen and electrical workers walked off the job following a stalemate between the state-run Metropolitan Transportation Authority and union leaders on a labor deal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's episode of The Golf Podcast we preview the PGA Championship at Aronimink after getting boots on the ground to play and film the course ourselves. With one of the strongest major fields in recent memory, we break down why this could become an absolute shootout, especially with weather potentially softening the course early before firmer weekend conditions arrive.  We dive into our top PGA Championship picks, including Matt Fitzpatrick's incredible current form, Scottie Scheffler's complete tee-to-green dominance, Rory McIlroy's course-record history at Aronimink, Ludvig Åberg's major-ready ball striking, and Cameron Young's breakout season. We also discuss why Bryson DeChambeau may be too volatile to trust this week despite his major championship pedigree, plus why names like Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth, and Justin Thomas could be dangerous if their games click.

The Content Gods delivered an absolute goldmine of press conference quotes for this Wednesday episode! Andy joins Brendan fresh off of U.S. Open Media Day at Shinnecock Hills and he airs some grievances about all facets of Long Island without PJ present. The two discuss whether Shinnecock is possibly the best golf course in the world and remember the most iconic shots from previous U.S. Opens played in Southampton. After a brief tangent regarding the new programmatic ads inserted into the audio version of the show - there's a first time for everything! - things get back on track with three major LIV stories from Tuesday. First, Jon Rahm has reached an agreement with the DP World Tour to pay all outstanding fines and pay the necessary events to retain membership. Rahm suggested that concessions were made on both sides, but the DPWT is merely forcing him to play one fewer event. Rahm also had some interesting comments regarding his future with LIV Golf, saying "I don't see many ways out," when asked about his contract. While Rahm got existential, Bryson DeChambeau spent the day at the White House alongside Todd Golden, Noah Syndergaard, and TJ Oshie among other "sports stars" as part of a new initiative from President Trump. He also revealed his plans for the future of his YouTube channel, including dubbing his videos into different languages to give the world a reason to watch YouTube! Before the LIV main event, there is a brief Truist Championship preview segment as the PGA Tour returns to Quail Hollow after last year's major championship delay. Rory McIlroy is back after another Masters win, Xander Schauffele looks to re-insert himself into the major conversation, and this Gambling Podcast looks to stay hot on picks! The two run through the rest of the Schedule for the Week, including an alternate event featuring Brooks Koepka, the LPGA's stop in New Jersey, and a Tiger Woods-less Insperity Invitational. It is then SHOWTIME for this episode, as Brendan does a dramatic reading of today's Scott O'Neil press conference at LIV Virginia. From 50+ mentions of "business" to a ridiculous Mother's Day greeting, you will not want to miss these quotes as LIV kicks off its first United States-based event of 2026.

Cameron Young's breakthrough win at the Cadillac Championship sets the stage for this episode of Out of Bounds, as the focus quickly shifts to what it means with the Truist Championship at Quail Hollow up next. Josh Durso and Nate Sharman break down Young's performance, then power rank Cameron Young, Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Matt Fitzpatrick heading into the second major. From there, they dive into a full preview of a loaded field in Charlotte that includes Rory, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, and Viktor Hovland, before wrapping with picks and strategy for this weekend.

Brendan! joins The Boys for this Masters cleanup episode before jetting over to meet Andy in Scotland. Joseph immediately begins with some comments regarding his drive back to Atlanta alongside Brendan that featured 90s hip-hop and a spilled coffee in the precious GLS. From there, the trio wonder if Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler should just be the prohibitive Masters favorites for the next three or four years given their 1-2 finish this week without their "A games." There's also some debate about whether Rory has surpassed Phil Mickelson in the all-time rankings of golf. PJ and Joseph watched the final round back on TV and shared some thoughts on Russell Henley, Collin Morikawa, and Xander Schauffele that they didn't pick up on the ground on Sunday. The two also weigh in on the discourse surrounding the CBS broadcast, which was amplified even more by Kevin Kisner's comments making the rounds on X early Tuesday morning. Brendan then shifts the attention to the Schedule for the Week, beginning with a Signature Event at the RBC Heritage. Brendan openly states that there shouldn't be golf this week and sees the Heritage as a legacy event that will surely be impacted by the PGA Tour's ever-changing schedule and stance on wanting a piece of the monetary pie from the majors. He shares whispers from under the big tree at Augusta about these conversations and how big Tour sponsors may allocate their funds moving forward. With Andy out, PJ steps in and provides 5 Guys to Monitor This Week in Hilton Head, including one with an "unfair advantage" much like Rory allegedly had at ANGC. Joseph, PJ, and Brendan all make One-and-Done picks as Golf's Premier Gambling Podcast looks to stay hot after hitting a winner at the Masters. The "Event of the Year" is next on the schedule rundown with the Senior PGA Championship's move to April. PJ shares some important tee times and notable storylines for this year's event at The Concession, featuring the big debut of Rory (Sabbatini)! LIV Mexico City and the JM Eagle LA Championship are also previewed before moving on to the biggest news of the week so far: the installation of a pool on the 18th hole at Memorial Park. Brendan can't believe that the Chevron Championship is making its golf tournament all about a jump into some water and a friend of Joseph's was kind enough to provide photos of this small four-foot-deep pool next to the 18th green!

Season 7, Episode 26 of Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank is a special Liberty University “Ignite Edition”, recorded live in Virginia with a full table of guests and plenty of spirited sports debate. Dan Fox is joined by Josh “The Golf Report” Hooks, Liberty golfer Rusty Hooks, Victor Geikema, Sheridan, Jerry Hooks, Tyler, and a surprise phone-in appearance from Frank himself—creating one of the liveliest roundtable conversations of the season.The episode opens with Liberty University basketball, as the crew breaks down the Flames' strong regular season and disappointing exit from the Conference USA tournament. Liberty finished atop the conference standings but fell to Missouri State in the tournament, raising a classic college basketball debate: Should a three-day conference tournament outweigh an entire three-month regular season? Rusty argues the tournament proves who performs under pressure, while others question whether a single bad night should erase months of dominance. With Liberty now headed to the NIT, the panel debates whether the Flames can make a deep postseason run despite missing the NCAA Tournament.The conversation quickly expands to the broader March Madness landscape as Selection Sunday approaches. The group discusses potential championship contenders—including Michigan, Arizona, Florida, Kansas, and Duke—and examines how injuries, roster depth, and coaching experience could shape the tournament. Rick Pitino's St. John's squad, Kansas' unpredictable star Darren Peterson, and the always-dangerous bracket “dark horse” teams all get their share of analysis as the crew previews the most exciting weekend in college sports.The episode also features a spirited golf segment, led by Liberty's own Rusty Hooks, who breaks down rising PGA Tour star Ludvig Åberg and his chances at the Players Championship. The panel looks ahead to The Masters, with predictions featuring names like Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka, and Viktor Hovland. The conversation includes a special shout-out to Lynchburg native Zach Bauchou, who made the cut at The Players Championship, highlighting local pride in the golf world.From there, the discussion shifts into the NFL offseason, where quarterback movement and draft strategy take center stage. The crew debates whether young quarterbacks—like projected No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza—should start immediately or sit behind a veteran mentor. Historical examples from Brett Favre to Patrick Mahomes fuel a lively debate about development, coaching, and the importance of organizational stability. The group also examines offseason outlooks for teams like the Raiders, Eagles, Cowboys, Commanders, and Lions as they prepare for the upcoming draft.Along the way, listeners are treated to plenty of the usual Sports Fellowship flavor: friendly trash talk, predictions, a Phillipsburg vs. Easton tennis bet involving yard work, and classic storytelling from Jerry Hooks about Liberty basketball history.As always, the episode closes with encouragement for listeners to join the Sports Fellowship Bracket Challenge, updates on the show's Facebook page, and an invitation to connect with the community at First Baptist Church of Phillipsburg.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/

It was a historic weekend of professional golf as one of the game's greatest achievements finally came to an end. Andy begins this episode on a somber note as Xander Schauffele's "made cut streak" was snapped on Friday at the Farmers Insurance Open. Brendan joins in, remembering other iconic streaks such as Cal Ripken Jr.'s consecutive games played record and comparing them to Xander's totally-not-made-up mark. Justin Rose did make the cut and ran away with his second win at Torrey Pines, defeating a trio of players by seven shots. The 45-year-old is now ranked third in the OWGR and has played some of the best golf of his career in the last 12 months. Andy and Brendan wonder how much gas he has left in the tank, with Brendan predicting that Rose will compete in majors into his fifties. In other notes from the Farmers, Brooks Koepka finished t56 and had plenty of time on the broadcast on ESPN, Golf Channel, and CBS despite never being competitive. One of the two mules that Brooks brought onto the "ark" this week did make some money, kicking off our yearlong game of Brooks vs. Mules. Johnson Wagner also made his long-awaited CBS debut and did not disappoint, recreating shots while the tournament was still going on! The two also discuss Michael Brennan's DQ thanks to a Data Boy and strong weeks from Si Woo Kim, Joel Dahmen, and Ryo Hisatsune. The DP World Tour event in Bahrain ended in a playoff featuring Patrick Reed and ended in a wild concession that no one had ever seen before. The main event of this podcast is Andy and Brendan's recap of what went on at the LPGA's Tournament of Champions on Sunday. The event was shortened into a 54-hole event due to the course not being an "optimal competitive environment" for "competitive competition" according to some statements from the tour. Andy and Brendan tee off as they're astounded by the celebrity pro-am still being played on the very same course rather than the actual tournament. For those with tinfoil hats, Nelly Korda won for the first time in over 440 days as a result of the shortened event. There's also plenty of Illinois basketball talk at the end of this episode, as well as more invites from colleges across the country who want Andy, Brendan, and PJ to inspire the youth of America. Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12! We'll be hanging out at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of Q&A, Champs Tour Minute, and plenty of Bears chatter.

Andy and Brendan's Christmas wish for a "Home Alone" episode to finish out 2025 has come true! The Boys take over the feed for this final look back at the year in professional golf as Joseph and PJ recap the 3M Open and Wyndham Championship. Before getting to what was perhaps the most important tournament of the season, The Boys first discuss TGL's Season 2 debut on Sunday. Billy Horschel took down NYGC again, continuing to be the bane of the entire city's existence according to the broadcast. Billy was joined by Chris Gotterup and Corey Conners on the Atlanta Drive as last-minute replacement players for the suddenly-injured Patrick Cantlay and Lucas Glover. Despite only having one (1) of the team's four (4) players active, Atlanta still managed to clean up against Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Xander Schauffele. Joseph and PJ discuss some standout new holes designed by Augie Pizá and share some excitement for this Friday's Ballfrogs match. There's also been a bit of major golf news since we've been away - Talor Gooch is now the captain of Smash GC! Joseph reads from a new LIV article detailing Gooch's approach to his newfound captaincy and the fallout from Brooks Koepka leaving the league with one year remaining on his contract. The Boys try to game out where this leaves Brooks to play in 2026 and PJ wonders if an easy route back to the PGA Tour for Koepka is coming soon. Bryson DeChambeau is also posturing for a new contract, telling Flushing It that some things need to change for the now-72 hole tour in 2026. After cleaning up the LIV hot stove, The Boys resume the Year in Review with a brief stop at TPC Sod Farms for the 3M Open. Scottie, Bryson, and many more golf stars were in attendance at the "Happy Gilmore 2" premiere this week, but no star shined as bright as Kurt Kityama at an Arnold Palmer design. The Kitty Kat held off challengers like Matt Wallace and Jake Knapp to secure his second PGA Tour win, setting the stage for the 1,000th unique winner in Tour history at the Wyndham. The majority of this episode is, naturally, spent remembering a superstar's win at an iconic Donald Ross venue in North Carolina. Cameron Young ran away with the tournament, beating Mac Meissner by six shots to finally win his first PGA Tour event. Joseph and PJ share the best highlights from the crowning of Mr. 1,000, properly giving this American Ryder Cup hero his flowers despite the best efforts of Andy and Brendan to prevent this from happening. The Boys end the show with a new segment called "Receipts Corner," calling out some who believed this day - or Cameron Young's ensuing end-of-season success - would never come. Andy and Brendan will return in 2026 for another year of covering the amusing, inane, and irreverent moments from professional golf.

Season 3 Episode 3 brings major chaos, questionable bragging rights, and a whole lot of golf tee. Kass and Syd dive right into Thanksgiving break stories, including Syd's borderline outrageous claim to fame: playing with a Korn Ferry Q-School player, draining a 60-foot par putt, and getting promoted to Producer. Kass, naturally, has feelings about all of this. Then the girls break down what's happening at the Hero World Challenge, Scottie Scheffler being Scottie Scheffler, Tiger dropping schedule updates, and Keegan Bradley winning a Skins Game that somehow ended with Xander Schauffele making… zero dollars. Yes, zero. They also sat down with this week's guest, PGA Professional Golf Coach, Georgia Ball, who brings the kind of insight Kass and Syd think a few pros might want to hear. And because the drama never stops, the episode wraps with a preview of next week's big storyline: Final Stage of 2025 PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry, where the pressure is insane, the rules just changed, and the last TOUR cards for 2026 are up for grabs. Oh, and next week's guest? Let's just say you'll definitely want to tune in.  Tune in every THURSDAY for new episodes! Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @BirdieLittleSecretsPod

The Skins Game was back this week for the first time in ages at Panther National in Florida. Keegan Bradley was the big winner, but the bigger story may have been Xander Schauffele getting shut out out receiving a giant check for zero dollars. We will recap the event and where it could go in the future. Young LIV golfer David Puig won the BMW Australian PGA Championship last week in Brisbane. He went the last 40 holes without a bogey en route to a 2-shot victory. Former podcast guest Daniel Gale made an ace and had a top 10 finish as well. It is a big week upcoming in professional golf for December. Tiger Woods Hero Challenge with some of the top players in the world is happening in the Bahamas and Australian Open, with a field that includes Rory McIlroy is happening at Royal Melbourne.

He also talked about chasing speed for professionally and for recreational golfers. Finally, he talked about his relationship with Xander Schauffele. Parsons talked about Butch Harmon and his belief to instill confidence in his players, the greats all possess the aptitude to learn, his relationship teaching Xander Schauffele and what makes him so good and working with Aldrich Potgieter and not messing up his speed.

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.

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.
