Alternate Shot

A tradition unlike any other... The Masters kicks off the 2018 major season with arguably the best 4 days in the world of golf. Facing a stacked leaderboard on Sunday, Patrick Reed put together an almost mistake free 18 holes to win his first green jacket, and his first major. We go Quad-Pod this week with Mike, Matt, Dave, and Scott to break down all the action at Augusta - plus a look ahead to the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town... Let's get into it!

Matt & Mike's alma maters faced off in San Antonio - with Villanova reigning victorious as the National Champions. We break down THAT game as well as the incredible Masters play-in effort by perennial Hardo Patrol member Ian Poulter, winning in dramatic fashion at the Houston Open. Also... FOTP Fitz breaks down the Vegas odds on the Masters as we cover the best week in the world of golf. Let's get into it.

March is bracket season and the PGA Tour is no different. The WGC Match Play in Austin, TX featured some surprise upsets early on but delivered some great golf down the stretch. With the Masters approaching quickly, Bubba Watson reminded us of what he's capable of - stomping Kevin Kisner on his way to victory & putting himself in the conversation for favorites at Augusta. We look ahead to the Houston Open and talk a little NCAA Basketball as well. Let's get into it.

The Arnold Palmer Invitational plays host to some spectacular golf with Tiger, Rory, Rose, Bryson, & Stenson vying for the lead down the stretch. Rory rose above the rest making 5 birdies in the final 6 holes to get back in the winners circle after what seemed like an eternity. Is he really back? Is Tiger back?! All that plus a look ahead to the Dell Technologies Match Play in Austin, TX. Let's get into it.

He's slowly built momentum through the early part of 2018 and now it seems that the GOAT is (maybe) back. Tiger Woods reminds us what Sundays are for with an (almost) epic charge from behind on Sunday at the Valspar. Friend of the Pod Matt joins Mike & Matt to break it all down, and we look ahead to the Bay Hill Invitational next week in Orlando, where TW is the odds on favorite to win. All that plus a throwback to the '99 Ryder Cup and how it changed the landscape of golf forever. Let's get into it.

After building momentum for the past few months, Phil Mickelson wins in dramatic fashion at the WGC Mexico. He’s been saying for a while now that he needs a win under his belt to contend at the Masters… After holding off a weekend charge from Justin Thomas, now he has one.

Also: The Tour heads to Tampa for the Valspar Championship. The USGA pulls the rug out from underneath the "get off my lawn" crowd on the Golf Channel, and the Podcast goes to the Golf Expo. Let’s get into it.

Longtime FOTP Scott joins us this week to recap the drama at the Bear Trap. Despite Tiger Woods being back in the top 15 and Justin Thomas winning for the 8th time in his young career, the focus this week was on the final round ejection of a heckler... and the ensuing debate about the state of golf in 2018. We also look ahead to next week at the WGC Mexico, which brings a stacked field together at 7500 ft above sea level to battle over $10,000,000. Let's get into it.

Reporting live from Montreal, Mike joins Matt & Dave to break down the Genesis Open. Bubba Watson is back in the winners circle... and he's back to being Bubba. Tiger disappointed this week - can he return to form? And is the gallery... Tiger's longtime 15th club in the bag, actually costing him shots these days? All that and a lot more, plus a preview of this week's Honda Classic at PGA National. Let's get into it.

This week Mike, Matt & Dave break down the Pebble Beach Pro-Am and discuss Ted Potter's unexpected win. We preview next week's Genesis Open at Riviera in Los Angelas, and get into the Valentines Day spirit with some dream scenarios.

The PGA Tour makes it's annual Super Bowl weekend stop at the Waste Management Open - setting the all time ratings record with just under 720,000 viewers tuning in.

We break it all down, check in on our Super Bowl prop bets, and look ahead to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Let's get into it...
