Zero PGA wins for TommyLad.

The states are greedy and are changing the amount they are taking so Draftkings had to change to offset what the states are doing. Blame the states, not the company.

you mentioned Tom Kim in tears. I think he may have been crying for different reasons than the other players.

Andy is bananas for thinking Olympic gold would be better to win than a PGA. You get $4mm for winning, 5 year exemption into every major, immediate class bump for mid level tour pros, elevated events etc. Scottie doesn’t get shit for winning

Many of the caddies are different nationalities to the players…. Amongst other reasons 🙄

Coxswains also steer the boat.

olympic golf: zzzzz... (scottie scheffler wins) olympic golf: omg, best thing ever! #greatwhitehope #changeseverything

Andy, my bet is that the course giving him a hard time about the greens fees was Tamarack. That is another Pete Dye Course that is always in terrible shape and more likely to do something like that. Not saying it couldn’t be Ruffled Feathers, but I would expect that to be in better shape and have better people. I’d bet nearly anything it is Tamarack.

Andy hates caddies!

Don't forget Clark started the shit talking about Bryson and the LIV players after the first round at the Masters! Ever since those comments, he's been trash! 🗑😂

Feels like you guys mailed this one in. Have a good vacation & just skip the pod next time.

Public golf in greater Chicago SUCKS! The arrogance of the overpriced, half way decent facilities that do exist is mind boggling and infuriating.

Andy - Race walking has been an Olympic sport in every Olympic Games since 1904, with the exception of the 1924 Games. What differentiates race walking from running or jogging are 2 rules that require race walkers to: (1) keep one foot in contact with the ground at all times and (2) the supporting leg must straighten from the point of contact with the ground and remain straightened until the body passes directly over it. Despite your contention otherwise, race walking is very much an athletic endeavor with world-class race walkers averaging under 4 minutes per kilometer over a 20km race. In the Paris Olympics there is a 20km race walk for both men and women and a 50km mixed race walk in which men & women alternate 10km stages over the 50km race. Andy - It is ironic that you are railing against race walking not being athletic enough to be in the Olympics when there is a large segment in the athletic world that don’t consider golf an athletic sport, but rather a game.

Andy, please provide an update on the shed.

Loved it guys, Olympic team other sports Scottie discus Xander archery Colin whitewater kayaking Wyndham mens beach volleyball Olympic athlete that thinks he could medal elsewhere Rory in Fencing just my two cents 😂

Brentley was great. Guy knows ball

That slow kid Dalton has to be called out. I’ve spent too much of my life letting stuff like that go. Slow play like that is terrible for the game of golf.

Snoop Dog Olympics!!

Woke greens destroy a master’s work. Sad stuff.

love the quick shout-out to LIV.. completely agree about what to expect giving guys at the end of their career big money... however in theory the goal is eventually for them to mentor younger players on their teams that they are building?

Andy is a legend for coming out hot with the gambling. Skinny Vinny true podcast legend

Beautiful

Go back and watch the Sunday round at The Wells. That was the week before Valhalla. He's got two majors since and he gets to go play Quail with a huge chip on his shoulder as defending champ. It's gonna be sick.

Sick hair piece.

Revisiting this video after playing Rustic a few days ago and playing it again on Sunday. Truly an incredible layout and a joy to experience. I feel lucky to live 45 minutes away.

Where are all my shed people?? We demand answers! May have to crawl into the golf advice emails if we don’t get satisfaction here.

Jim Furyk the same as Scott MCCarron...he looked unbeatable on the Champions Tour at first...then he suffered a back injury and now he can't drive the ball 240 yds and isn't relevant. This is what makes Langer's career incredible.

One of the most pleasant days I have ever had on a golf course and it was blowing 25mph. Love the place.

Theoretical Topic for you guys to mull about in the future as I have been thinking about this for a couple years and am kinda surprised that nobody ever broaches the topic. Starting Strokes is a dumb idea and makes the TOUR Championship kind of a bore to watch when you know 20-25 players are out of the mix before it starts. My proposal is as such, they call it the Playoffs, so why not make it a real playoff? Turn the TOUR Championship into a Match Play Event, you can add 2 players to the field to make it a full 32 player bracket or stick with the traditional 30 players and the Top 2 in Points get a 1st Round Bye. Thursday - Round of 30/32 Friday - Round of 16 Moving Day - Quarters in the Morning and Semis in the Afternoon Sunday - 7th place, 5th place, 3rd place and Finals Matches With this you're not only playing the entire season to make it to the TOUR Championship, you're playing for seeding, Sunday at the BMW becomes all about who is going to make it into the field, who they're going up against and setting the stage for the playoffs, win or go home if you want the FedEx Cup. Thank you for reading my TED Talk.

What happened to Andy’s shed?

To make a comparison, in tennis they play on different surfaces, hard court, clay, grass, under different conditions, out in the open, under a stadium roof and they play all over the world, they don’t complain. At Troon they got the 4 seasons in one day ! 😀

Great summary guys. I have been to so many great Opens including the classic Nicklaus/Watson showdown and it has always been my favourite Championship. Especially great to watch it in Europe and or South Africa etc where the TV coverage is so much better than the USA with far far less adverts . Look forward to your comments on the Open next year. Cheers Keith

Scottie has only struggled on greens this year where the greens were slightly different and threw him off. Colonial, the greens super firm and hard to read (2nd), Pinehurst greens were definitely complex and vexing for him, and the Open greens were very slow and clearly he had trouble with the reads. I think on a course where he's more comfortable with the greens he'll separate himself as long as his ball striking continues at this level. Oakmont and Quail Hollow are favorable for him next year but they are for a lot of other big dogs too.

Enjoyable listen… recently found you. As a Brit, it does still make me smile however, that you view our/European golf as somewhat of a novelty. You hit on some great key points, in particular the bias towards formulaic PGA bomb and gouge style of play, which has its place no question, however, is only one real avenue of golf. I’ve been lucky to play the game across a few continents in my time, and enjoyed the diversity of Royal Cinque Ports to Royal Melbourne and pretty much everything in between. (Including the US) Unfortunately, what we saw this week was how many players’ weaknesses are exposed when they experience the full examination paper of Links golf in changeable conditions…. Very few have what that takes. We now live in a professional world of Trackman, GC QUAD and pristinely presented courses where players (certainly Stateside) head for the clubhouse when rain falls. No wonder these players bitch and moan or were simply bamboozled by Troon these past few days. No simple answer from me, but if you really want to find the best golfers worldwide, they have to play worldwide…. And in all conditions. Final thought re majors….. the US PGA should switch to Australia and be played late in the year. The like of Royal Melbourne or Kingston Heath would be perfect venues.

The last two British Open's have been won by zero personality diddy men. The Open has become a joke. Now won by unentertaining golfing dwarfs.

WHat comes next? If he follows the script of most dominant players, after his first bum result he’ll look for reasons why and start on the journey of remodelling his swing until, after a couple of years of mediocrity he’ll go back to what won and win again… From Faldo to Hovland it’s been the case. Thoughts?

The question is would Xander have more majors if Chris Como was his coach a few years ago?

Andy. Long time supporter. I can't keep doing this but I will since I think I speak on behalf of all of us. We need an update on the shed...

Xander could be another Mark O’Meara or he could be another Tom Watson or somewhere in between. We won’t know for a few years.

Andy, now that the major season is over….can you please give us an update on the shed?

Hello- new subscriber. Thank you Hope # 15 at The Kankakee Elks golf course has a more subdued volcano hole. The Elks was built in 1926 by the noted Golden Age team of Langford & Moreau. Rumor has it prior to 1915, AG Spaulding of Chicago possibly hired Tom Bendelow to design Eagle Springs, as Bendelow was Spaulding’s top architect at the time but Spalding died before completion in 1915. Such an irony. It is possible Langford & Moreau or even CB McDonald from Chicago Golf Club was involved back in 1893 or 1921 when expansion redesign took place. It’s a thrill to see and play.

Cool story

Thank goodness they removed the Nicklaus elements.

Phil definitely slow played Brooks to death at Kiawah….shameful

The best part of the pod being on KZfaq now is being able to see the glee on Brendan’s face in reaction to Andy’s “Brendan!”

Golf Channel spent 1/2 hour on Rory’s putting especially the missed putt at the U S Open. Hundred reasons but I know that a guilty conscience is the reason for many poor shots.

Awww how can you pick on the Rai guy? Thanks to your FEG episode with Andrew Cotter I checked out The Chipping Forecast. I think it was his group that shared why ARai uses the club covers, and it might hit you right in the feels. It's his reminder of how much his parents scrapped to help him get his clubs as a youth, dad showed him how to care for them, and it's an appreciation of the value of what he has. Could be a load or could be... a nice notion. Up for each to decide.

ray bradbury was not a proper novelist... short stories brendan... I haven't laughed so hard in ages until you 2 did game within the game

If Olive and Mabel were on this would have never been topped!
