Alternate Shot

"My fellow golf fans... The State of our Podcast is STRONG."

Tiger is back... Jason Day is back... Dave is back.

This week we recap the Farmers, preview one of our favorite events of the year - the Waste Management Open, kick around some ideas on how to spice up the Tour, and drop a few thoughts/make a few bets on the Superbowl. Let's get into it.

It was a big week for the Europeans, with John Rahm surviving a playoff battle to win the CareerBuilder in California, Sergio Garcia locking up the Singapore Open, and Tommy Fleetwood lighting up the back nine to beat a very talented field in Dubai. Tiger is heading back to one of his favorite venues next week, Torrey Pines. And we break down some of the best and worst golf commercials in recent memory.

Despite the threat of a nuclear attack, the Sony open crowns a new champion and officially kicks off the 2018 PGA Tour season. Mike, Matt, and Friend of the Pod Dave look ahead to the CareerBuilder, and back to some of our more memorable NFW moments on and off the golf course. Lets get into it.

The Hawaii Swing is in full form, players move from Maui to Honolulu this week to face the first legitimate Tour event of the season... The Sony Open. Mike and Matt talk about DJ's runaway win at Kapalua, reminding everyone who he was before those stairs at Augusta... Is he a Hall-of-Famer already? And finally the mysterious story of Anthony Kim... will we ever really know what happened. Lets get into it.

Mike & Matt are back for Season 2 of the Pod. 2018 is shaping up to be one of the more exciting years in recent memory with Tiger's return, a new rivalry at the top of the world rankings, and players on both sides of the Atlantic vying for Ryder Cup spots. Happy new year everyone... lets get into it!

Ladies and gentlemen... it's the postseason. Friend of the pod Dave is back to help us kick things off. Front and center is the news that Tiger is back. We talk about his chances for this season and how he matches up with the guy who took over the elder statesman role in his absence... Phil Mickelson.

The Presidents Cup is over. The Americans dominated all four days on their way to victory - closing out the 2017 golf season in style. Mike & Matt break down the massacre at Liberty National, discuss the Presidents Cup and its 'rivalry" with the Ryder Cup, and look ahead to Season 2 of the Alternate Shot Podcast.

Finally... The TOUR Championship is upon us. The last 30 players on earth left standing will face off in hopes of winning the final event of the year, and the grand prize of the FedEx Cup itself. Mike & Matt break it all down with picks and predictions, and look ahead to the President's Cup at Liberty National.

Mike & Matt fix the Presidents Cup, and discuss #friendofthepod Steve Stricker's Captain's picks.

Justin Thomas continues his BANNER year with a win at the Dell Technologies in Boston - all but locking up Player of the Year. The Presidents Cup team is now confirmed. Kevin Chappell edges out Charley Hoffman by an impossibly small margin for the final spot, placing added attention on Steve Stricker and his captain’s picks. And with 70 players left standing, the Tour heads to Chicago for the BMW Championship at Conway Farms - the last stop before the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
