In this pod we gloss over last week's tournaments where Viktor Hovland was the winner of The Memorial at Jack's place defeating Denny McCarthy in a playoff to finally win in America. 20 year old sensation Tom McKibbin won his first event on the DP World Tour in style at The Green Monster for the first of many titles and special props to the sensational Rose Zhang who made history on the LPGA Tour winning on his first start as a professional after an unbelievable College & Amateur career!

The main focus on the pod this week was today's shocking news that the PGA Tour, DP World Tour & LIV Golf are to merge together to join forces for 'the good of the game'. We discuss the effects of this historic announcement and what we think happens going forward. We speak about the players that found out the news on Twitter and the internet aswell as what it means going forward for PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan, DPWT boss Keith Pelley & LIV commissioner Greg Norman.

Justin Thomas was the deserved victor as he tamed Southern Hills Country Club to defeat Will Zalatoris in a playoff to win his 2nd PGA Championship title. This week the PGA moves back to Fort Worth, Texas for Charles Schwab Challenge at the classical test known as Colonial Country Club. Jason Kokrak was crowned champion last year defeating a spirited Jordan Spieth to cap off his remarkable 18 month trophy turnaround! Other champions at Colonial include Daniel Berger, Kevin Na, Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth & Chris Kirk. This 7,209 classical Perry Maxwell Par 70 design is a really tough test of Golf for the Players it is tough but fair. With Jamie still on hols in Portugal, Craig is joined by Geoff Fienberg of Mayo Media Network/Oddschecker US and BetSperts to go over how we think it'll play out and who we reckon can reign supreme at Colonial on Sunday. Reminder to read Jamie's EasyOdds Article for Charles Schwab Challenge and to follow us on Twitter @ThomsonGolf94, @ChasingPars_Pod @Js_GolfingTips, @RH_G0lf & also follow Geoff on @gfienberg17. Enjoy the Golf & give a listen, rate & review! Thanks

With Jamie preparing for his holiday to sunny Portugal & Ryan with family commitments Craig is joined by former guest of the pod Adam Watson @AdtheVillan on Twitter to preview this year's 2nd Major PGA Championship which is being held at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We give our in depth guide to who we fancy this week. Who are you choosing to win the Wanamaker Trophy? It should be a great week of Golf! Enjoy guys and appreciate the love and support especially for major weeks! Let's go!

After a magnificent week coming back from a brilliant Betfred British Masters at The Belfry where all 3 of us went on the Saturday to watch some top action Jamie & Ryan are back on PGA Tour duty this week to cover AT&T Byron Nelson tournament as KH Lee returns to defend his title as TPC Craig Ranch returns for the 2nd year in a row as the tournament host course. Lee managed to win at -25 last year maintaining his liking for TPC Courses. Jamie & Ryan go through their fancies with some surprising & some not so surprising picks! Enjoy the Golf!

After another semi decent week for the pod with 4 places across both tours with Hennie du Plessis T6 at 50/1 for Craig, Brandon Wu T2 at 110/1 & Aaron Wise T6 at 30/1 for Jamie and Cam Champ 40/1 T6 for Ryan. This week we turn our attention the iconic Belfry Brabazon Course for The British Masters where Richard Bland defends his crown after last year's iconic win defeating Guido Migliozzi in a play off to make history becoming the oldest first time DPWT winner at the age of 48 winning on his 478th start on Tour. This week Blandy defends on his 500th start on European/DP World Tour some occasion to mark your 500th start! Craig & Jamie are joined by Ryan Hamilton who returns as we all go through our picks for this week for British Masters! Should be an amazing week as all 3 of us will be in attendance on Saturday at The Belfry! We can't wait for the week ahead! Enjoy!

After a 3 week break Jamie & Craig are back to preview 2 new tournaments at both Vidanta Villarta Mexico Open & Catalunya Championship. Although the course in Mexico is quite unknown, the course at PGA Catalunya has hosted 3 Spanish Open's (Open De Espana in 2000, 2009 & 2014) as well as hosting European Tour Q School Finals until 2016 & as part of the yearly schedule for Nordic Golf League on back to back weeks in February for Mediter Real Estate Masters & PGA Catalunya Resort Championship both at PGA Catalunya Stadium Course. Jon Rahm is the overwhelming favourite in Mexico at 5/1 followed in by Abraham Ancer, Tony Finau & Gary Woodland while on DPWT Adrian Otaegui & Bernd Wiesberger are joint favourites at 20-25/1 with Pablo Larrazabal & Richard Bland just in behind at what should be an interesting week into the unknown really.
