Gary Williams is joined by Paul McGinley and Colt Knost for a packed Tuesday edition of 5 Clubs as the PGA TOUR prepares for potential major changes to its postseason and the golf world turns its attention to East Lake.

Paul McGinley of Sky Sports Golf joins the show to discuss the uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf and what it could mean for the DP World Tour, whether LIV has impacted players’ ability to compete in major championships, and the possibility of Jon Rahm eventually returning to the PGA TOUR.

McGinley also breaks down Rory McIlroy’s outlook as he enters the next stage of his career, why motivation and scheduling could be critical to Rory’s pursuit of more major championships, and what the United States could learn from Europe when it comes to using team competitions to prepare players for the Ryder Cup.

Then Colt Knost of Golf SubPar joins Gary to look back at Wyndham Clark’s BMW Championship victory, the Player of the Year debate between Clark and Scottie Scheffler, and some of the players who have impressed him most this season — including Chris Gotterup, Jacob Bridgeman, Jackson Koivun, and Gary Woodland.

Gary also makes his case for why Woodland deserves a Presidents Cup captain’s pick and looks ahead to Brian Rolapp’s expected vision for the future of the PGA TOUR, including match play and a reimagined postseason.

Gary Williams opens Wednesday's 5 Clubs on Golf Channel and PGA Tour Radio, Channel 92 on SiriusXM, presented by Sentry Insurance, with the standings and scenarios heading into the BMW Championship at Bellerive Country Club. He runs through the players fighting to reach East Lake, from J.J. Spaun's comfortable position at 21 to the Hail Mary math facing players like Michael Brennan, Matt McCarty and Ryo Hisatsune in the 45 to 50 range. Gary then spends time on the remarkable parallel careers of Adam Scott and Justin Rose, two 46 year old major champions born two weeks apart in 1980 whose win totals, earnings and career arcs mirror each other almost exactly.

Sean Zak of Golf Magazine and golf.com joins Gary from Indianapolis to discuss the chaotic final week of LIV Golf's 2026 season. Zak details unpaid vendors, mounting lawsuits and signs pointing toward bankruptcy, and traces the collapse of merger talks between the PGA Tour and the Public Investment Fund back to a tense meeting involving Jay Monahan and Yasir Al-Rumayyan. The conversation turns to Jon Rahm's contract situation and why January 2027 may be the moment his path becomes clear, Bryson DeChambeau's continued commitment to building his own golf spectacle, and the DP World Tour's rising position as a landing spot for players looking to return to the traditional game. Zak and Gary close by putting Scottie Scheffler's five year run in context, from his breakout Phoenix win in 2022 to the gap he has now opened over the rest of the world ranking.

Keith Stewart of Read the Line breaks down Bellerive Country Club ahead of the BMW Championship, describing a Rees Jones redesign with wide Zoysia fairways, sectioned green complexes and soft conditions following rain. Stewart identifies total driving and proximity from 175 yards and beyond as the keys to the week, and singles out Sam Burns and Si-Woo Kim as players overdue for a win after standout seasons. He and Gary also update the season-long picks standings, with Gil Hanse, Brendon De Jong and Jay Bilas all weighing in ahead of the final push toward East Lake.

The episode wraps with Dogs of the Week, featuring golf course companions from Piners Country Club, Watami Golf and Country Club, Prospector Golf Course and Wind Dance Golf Club, and closes with a note on Bellerive's history and former Augusta National chairman Hord Hardin's eleven club championships there.
