On The Tee

Gabe Neitzel and Stephen Watson break down the PGA Championship from Aronimink, with Stephen reporting live from Philadelphia and calling it a “golf sickos” dream course.

They debate whether bombers still have the edge or if shorter, accurate players can truly contend. The conversation centers on the dominance of Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, who’ve separated themselves in majors, and what motivates Rory after completing the career Grand Slam. Jordan Spieth’s “smoker analogy” adds a fun twist while highlighting his patience in chasing another major. The hour wraps with picks, as Stephen rides with Scheffler and Gabe backs McIlroy, setting up a potential heavyweight showdown.

Gabe Neitzel and Stephen Watson dive into Team USA naming Jim Furyk as Ryder Cup captain and debate whether it finally brings some much-needed structure back to the American side.

The guys also look at the best golfer on tour right now, weighing Rory McIlroy’s Masters win against Matthew Fitzpatrick’s hot streak and Scottie Scheffler’s steady dominance. Plus, they react to the Fitzpatrick brothers’ memorable Zurich win, Nelly Korda’s latest major title, and Stephen’s hope that he may have finally found something in his short game.

Stephen Watson and Gabe Neitzel break down the growing belief that LIV Golf may be running out of runway and what that could mean for the PGA Tour’s future.
