The 19th Hole Golf Show

In our return show, I (shortly) explain the year-long journey to launching Golf News Net Radio and what to expect from the station now that it's here. I also share conversations with two new book authors: Will Haskett ("The Science of Golf") and Michael Urann ("The 18 People I Hate Playing Golf With").

On this episode, Ryan is joined by two-time major winner, four-time European Ryder Cup captain and seven-time Ryder Cup player Tony Jacklin. We talk about Jacklin's transformative Ryder Cup experience and a new book about it, authored with Tony Jimenez, called "Tony Jacklin: My Ryder Cup Journey." Ryan also has an exciting special announcement to share.

The PGA of America dumped President Donald Trump and terminated their agreement to host the 2022 PGA Championship at his New Jersey club. Ryan discusses why that was the right move and wonders what club will host instead. Ryan digs into the Sentry Tournament of Champions, touches on Justin Thomas' slur and the importance of forgiveness.

The US Women's Open came to a conclusion on Monday, filled with drama, compelling contenders and great stories. Ryan looks back on the week, the host Champions Golf Club, the pinballing TV coverage and some other takeaways from the week. Then he gets into the 2021 European Tour schedule and a few of your questions.

After almost 18 months of not doing this podcast, I'm back. Let me explain why the show is coming back, why it went away and detail what I'm going to be doing moving forward. Thanks for listening!

We're back from our incredible Sweetens Cove Shootout, and Ryan recaps some of the highlights from our first-ever audience trip. (Tell us where you'd like to travel with us!) Also, Ryan digs into the success of the Tour Championship and the new format to determine the FedEx Cup champion.

On this episode, we discuss the Tour Championship. Will the PGA Tour's new Tour Championship format make the FedEx Cup more exciting? Also, we dig into the European Tour's new, aggressive pace-of-play policy, hoping what they learn may mean big changes on the PGA Tour.

On this episode, Ryan recaps The 2019 Open Championship from Royal Portrush, analyzing Shane Lowry's brilliant play under pressure and on his biggest stage, Rory McIlroy's furious Friday comeback and his takeaways from a remarkable week. Ryan also shares details from his trip to French Lick Resort and playing in a Symetra Tour pro-am with Leona Maguire. Finally, Ryan punches back against the Memphis Commercial-Appeal columnist who dug a lazy column out of a single, poignant tweet.

It's been 10 years since Tom Watson was a yard away from winning the Open Championship at the age of 59. In October 2009, Mr. Watson joined me to talk about his game, his experiences at Turnberry and what he thought about that week just months after one of the most incredible runs in major championship history.

On this episode, Ryan talks about the 3M Open and the upcoming Open at Royal Portrush, as well why it could be such an important event beyond golf. Then Ryan digs in on an interesting social media question of which courses you'd play for the rest of your life. Finally, Ryan explains his plans to air The 19th Hole twice per week starting in the second half of July.
