The podcast kicks off with hosts Digsies and Tommy discussing Scheffler's recent triumph at the American Express Open. With an outstanding six birdies on the first nine holes, Scheffler finished the first round at nine under par. Tommy emphasizes how smooth Scheffler's game is, albeit with a hint of boredom in his voice, as he describes the predictability of Scheffler's play style. "He hits it into the fairway. He hits it close to the pin. He makes the putt. Sometimes he misses the putt. And then we just have a guy that just shoots 64 to 68, four days in a row," he notes, showcasing both admiration and a desire for more excitement.

The discussion continues as they compare Scheffler to golf legend Tiger Woods, highlighting that while Scheffler's consistency is impressive, he lacks the electrifying aura that Woods once brought to the game. This comparison raises questions about the pressure young players feel when stepping up to compete against established champions.

Scheffler's recent victory also marks a significant milestone in terms of earnings. With over $100 million accumulated in his career thus far, he joins the ranks of only a few golfers who have achieved such a feat, including Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. The hosts reflect on the changing landscape of golf, noting that the purses have grown significantly, allowing players to earn more than ever before. However, Tommy argues that the context of earning such amounts in the earlier years of golf, particularly during Tiger's prime, makes those achievements even more impressive.

Alongside Scheffler's successes, the podcast highlights the emergence of young players like 18-year-old Blades Brown. Recently graduated from high school, Brown made headlines by competing in both the Korn Ferry Tour and a PGA Tour event within weeks of each other. Blades shot an amazing 12-under 60 in the second round. Despite facing challenges in the final round, his potential is undeniable.

The hosts also discuss the importance of having rivalries in golf. Tommy suggests that Scheffler may need a competitor like Brooks Koepka to reignite excitement and push him further. The dynamic between players can lead to thrilling performances and unexpected outcomes, keeping fans engaged and eager for more.

They finish with the weekly Hammer or Mulligan. Digsies is Hammering Patrick Reed after his win at The Dubai Desert Classic and forecasts a trick up Reed’s sleeve to come back to the PGA Tour. Thirty minutes after the recording of this episode Patrick Reed announced he is coming back to the PGA Tour.

Tommy later Hammered Brooks Koepka as he believes Brooks is going to have one helluva year; proving doubters wrong and showing that he is still one of the best golfers in the world as he gets ready to defend his 2018 US Open title at Shinnecock this summer.
