Lost Fore Words

This week's Lost Fore Words podcast is a bumper show as we discuss regular events on the European and PGA Tours, as well as this week's WGC at the FedEX St. Jude. Tom and Jason briefly recap the British Masters and what to expect at the Hero Open before moving on to the Barracuda Championship, which has moved to California this year. Lastly, the guys break down the WGC field and who they believe is value in the limited field.

With Jason unavailable this week, Tom was joined by Ben Coley from Sporting Life. Ben and Tom discuss the return of the European Tour to the UK at Close House in Newcastle, as well as the PGA Tour returning to Minnesota for the second staging of the 3M Open. Did we learn anything about Close House after the 2017 renewal of this event, and how will most of the field react, playing for the first time in months? Across the Atlantic, the players will be relieved after a tough week at The Memorial, to play a much easier course and be totting up the birdies as opposed to the bogeys over the four days.

This week the Challenge Tour stays in Austria for the Euram Bank Open, and the PGA Tour run it back at Muirfield Village for The Memorial. Jason and Tom break down the best bets for both, including a deep-dive theory from Jason in Austria. With such a stellar field assembled at The Memorial, we should see another great finish there, as we did at last week's Workday Charity Open.

This week Tom and Jason discuss the return of the European and Challenge Tour at the Austrian Open, and the Workday Charity Open on the PGA Tour. For the first time the PGA tour will play at the same course for two weeks in a row as Muirfield Village plays host to this week's event, before featuring again next week for its regular event, The Memorial.

This week, Tom and Jason look at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, hosted by Detroit Golf Club. Last year Nate Lashley, a late alternate outlasted Monday Qualifier, Doc Redman in a low-scoring affair. Despite Bryson DeChambeau and Webb Simpson headlining this week, the quality of the field has dropped dramatically as many star players opt for a week off after a three week stretch, so can another outsider get the job done this week?

In the latest episode of the Lost Fore Words podcast, we chatted with Korn Ferry Tour professional, Will Zalatoris. Will talks about his record-setting career at Wake Forest, where he went on the Arnold Palmer Scholarship, his move from San Francisco to Texas at the age of 9, which boosted his junior golf career, his 2017 Walker Cup experience and much more. Will is a player who is certainly ready to become a regular fixture on the PGA Tour, and is currently on a run of 7/7 cuts made on the Korn Ferry Tour this season, including top-6 finishes in each of his two starts since the Tour returned. With friends and mentors such as; Lanny Wadkins, Lee Trevino, Jordan Spieth and Tony Romo just to name a few to count on, Will certainly has a great support system around him. Hear what he owes the current level of his game to, and where he sees himself in five years time.

In the latest edition of the Lost Fore Words podcast, Tom and Jason break down the field at the Travelers Championship. With Adam Scott the only player in the top-10 of the world rankings not playing this week, this is another stacked field. If this week matches the drama of the past two weeks, we are really in for a treat at TPC River Highlands.

In the latest episode of the Lost Fore Words podcast, we caught up with Jack Nicklaus Award finalist, Noah Hofman. This award is presented to the top collegiate golfer of the year, and Noah and the other finalists will find out who wins the award, which Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Justin Thomas have all been awarded in the past, at this year's Memorial tournament. Noah talks about his high school and college career, how he has been overlooked to this point, his plans for the future now he has turned pro and how these have been affected by the current pandemic. Noah has a refreshing confidence about his game, and we are glad we got to catch up with him at the start of what we hope is an illustrious career. You don't have your own tracker on Twitter if you're no good!

In the latest episode of the Lost Fore Words podcast, Tom and Jason briefly recap this past weekend's golf at Colonial before looking ahead at the RBC Heritage this week. With so many players in the field this week who don't normally play at Harbour Town, will the event play differently this week? How about the schedule change meaning it doesn't come directly after the Masters? There are a lot of star names in the field again this week and we have tried to break down the field for you.

In the latest episode of the Lost Fore Words podcast, Tom Hoge joined to talk about his season so far, which sees him sitting 22nd in the FedEx Cup standings after posting three top-6 finishes, including a 2nd this season. Tom also speaks about playing at TCU, going back to the Korn Ferry finals on multiple occasions to get his Tour card back, and the pressures and enjoyment of playing with Tiger Woods when in contention. We also touch on future goals, getting that first win on the PGA Tour and how it will feel to be back at Colonial, a course he enjoys this week after a 3-month layoff.
