The man who once denied LIV Golf world ranking points is speaking out again… and it might change everything.

In this episode of The Golf Podcast, we dive into the latest controversy surrounding LIV Golf after former OWGR chairman Peter Dawson delivered some blunt criticism of the league’s success and fan engagement.

We break down Dawson’s comments, question whether bias may have influenced LIV’s ranking rejection, and discuss what Trevor Immelman’s new leadership at the OWGR could mean for LIV’s future. We also explore how recent leadership shakeups at both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf might finally clear a path toward official world ranking points—and what that would mean for players like Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Joaquin Niemann.

Along the way, we share predictions for when LIV could earn OWGR recognition, debate how many points LIV winners should get compared to PGA Tour and DP World Tour events, and talk about why 54-hole and no-cut formats shouldn’t disqualify LIV under current OWGR standards. Whether you’re team LIV, team PGA TOUR, or just a golf fan who wants to see fair rankings, this episode takes an honest look at where the professional game goes next.

Tiger Woods’ latest surgery has fans asking if we’ve finally reached the end of an era—and his own words might confirm it.

In this week’s episode of The Golf Podcast, we ask the question every golf fan is wondering — is this finally the end for Tiger Woods?

After undergoing yet another back surgery to replace a collapsed disc, Tiger’s future in competitive golf looks more uncertain than ever. At 49 years old and approaching eligibility for the PGA Tour Champions, Tiger has opened up about his biggest regret from years of relentless training and physical strain — running too much early in his career, which he now believes contributed to many of his knee and back problems.

In this episode, we’re breaking down Tiger’s long injury timeline, his cryptic comments about returning to golf, and what this latest setback could mean for his career. Could his next chapter be as a mentor, designer, or even a full-time dad to Charlie Woods? And more importantly, does professional golf still need Tiger to thrive?

We explore how stars like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy have carried the torch, the rise of new golf ventures like TGL and Tomorrow Sports, and whether the game has finally moved beyond its Tiger era.

With Tiger Woods rumored to return and the 2026 TGL schedule now revealed, the question is—can the startup indoor golf league survive another season?

In this week’s episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the newly released 2026 TGL season schedule and what it means for fans, players, and the future of the league.

With the schedule now official, all eyes are on the Easter eggs hinting at Tiger Woods’ long-awaited return to competitive golf. We take a closer look at how much Tiger can realistically move the needle for TGL viewership and whether star power alone is enough to keep this league thriving.

Beyond Tiger, we dig into the broadcast schedule itself—nine matches on ESPN, one on ABC, and a streamlined format designed to avoid last year’s confusion—and what those programming choices signal about TGL’s long-term vision.

We’ll also revisit the ratings from season one, the spike that came with Tiger’s debut, and the mid-season slump that left many fans questioning whether TGL has staying power. From fan reactions on social media to the growing debate over whether team golf can truly build loyalty beyond Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup formats, we unpack it all.

Is TGL the “future of golf” or simply another fun, prime-time way to watch the game we love?

Controversy is swirling around the Ryder Cup, and everyone wants to know the same thing — who’s REALLY to blame?

In this episode of The Golf Podcast we’ll break down all the drama and controversy surrounding the latest Ryder Cup and ask the big question — who’s really to blame?

Keegan Bradley is already calling for a major rule change after the controversial “envelope rule” cost the U.S. team a crucial half-point, but is this just sour grapes or a legitimate issue the Ryder Cup needs to address before the next match?

We’ll also take a hard look at Bradley’s captaincy decisions, from questionable pairings to sticking with struggling players like Collin Morikawa and Scottie Scheffler, and whether those choices ended up gifting Europe momentum.

Beyond the captaincy, the fan behavior at Bethpage is also under the microscope after several incidents crossed the line, raising concerns about whether the home crowd actually hurt Team USA instead of helping them. And of course, we’ll discuss the dominance of the European squad — one of the strongest teams ever assembled, with players like Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood leading the charge.

From data-driven strategy missteps to unforced errors and the ongoing pay-to-play controversy, this episode dives into everything that went wrong for Team USA and what has to change before the next Ryder Cup.

The tension around this year’s Ryder Cup is already boiling over — and it may be heading straight for another meltdown.

In this week’s episode of The Golf Podcast we’ll dive into the growing drama building ahead of the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.

Things are already getting heated, with Bryson DeChambeau firing verbal shots and Rory McIlroy firing right back, setting the stage for what could be a fiery showdown at Bethpage. Rory has even warned that something is “inevitable” to happen in New York, drawing comparisons to the boiling point we saw in Rome two years ago.

On top of that, the pay controversy is stealing headlines as Team USA players are now set to receive $500,000 each, while the European side continues to frame their effort as purely for pride and country. Luke Donald has already suggested that this change could backfire, especially if the New York crowd turns on the Americans should they underperform.

Between chirping players, emotional captains, and the weight of national pride, this Ryder Cup is shaping up to be one of the most explosive in history. We’ll break down the key quotes, the history fueling Rory vs. Bryson, and how the money debate could add even more fuel to the fire. Strap in—this Ryder Cup might just be headed for another meltdown.

This latest surprising shake-up has fans wondering: did LIV Golf cut ties with the very man who made it possible?

In this episode of The Golf Podcast, we dive into one of the most surprising shake-ups in professional golf: Greg Norman has officially cut ties with LIV Golf. While Norman stepped down as CEO earlier this year, many assumed he would always hold some role as the league’s figurehead.

Instead, he’s now completely out—raising big questions about what this means for LIV’s future. We break down Norman’s farewell statement, player reactions, and why some insiders believe his contentious style may have become more of a roadblock than an asset.

Was Norman the ultimate disruptor who got LIV off the ground, only to stand in the way of its next phase? Or did the league do him a disservice after he put his reputation on the line to launch it?

We explore whether this move clears the path for potential partnerships, renewed conversations with governing bodies, and even the possibility of softening tensions with the PGA Tour. Plus, we discuss what Norman’s absence could mean for player recruiting, fan perception, and the league’s long-term stability.

Don’t miss this deep dive into the shake-up that could redefine LIV Golf’s future.

Keegan Bradley is making sure Team USA doesn’t repeat the costly Ryder Cup mistake that’s haunted them in the past with a bold move that could be the game-changer they need to take back the Cup.

In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down how Keegan Bradley is rewriting the Ryder Cup 2025 playbook at Bethpage Black.

After Team USA was criticized in Rome for their “disgraceful preparation” and taking five weeks of rest before the matches, Bradley is making sure history doesn’t repeat itself. He’s sending nearly the entire U.S. Ryder Cup team to compete in the Procore Championship to stay sharp and avoid the dreaded rust versus rest debate. On top of that, the team has rented a massive team house in Napa with a dedicated Ryder Cup–style team room designed to build camaraderie, chemistry, and unity ahead of one of the most hostile Ryder Cup environments ever.

Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy and Team Europe arrive with momentum, depth, and experience, calling themselves more accomplished than the group that won in 2023. With legends like Ian Poulter urging them to embrace the “cauldron” of the New York crowd, Europe is ready for the challenge.

We dive into whether Bradley’s bold strategy of playing the Procore, building team chemistry, and keeping players in form could finally give Team USA the edge they need to win back the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.

Keegan Bradley just revealed his Ryder Cup picks—and fans can’t believe he left himself off the team…but was it the right choice?

In this episode of The Golf Podcast we’ll break down what might be the most talked-about Ryder Cup captain’s picks in years.

Keegan Bradley has officially revealed his U.S. team for Bethpage Black—and in a shocking twist, he left himself off the roster.

We dive into the big question: did Keegan fold under the pressure of being both captain and player, or was this an unselfish move to give Team USA the best chance to win?

You’ll hear our thoughts on legends like Tom Watson saying a playing captain “just can’t be done,” Rory’s take from the European side, and Keegan’s own words from the press conference. We also go pick-by-pick through the roster, debating who was snubbed, who might have been a safer choice, and whether names like Collin Morikawa, Cameron Young, and Sam Burns were really the best options.

Could Keegan himself have been the hotter hand heading into the event? And how will rookies like Ben Griffin handle the Ryder Cup spotlight? With the U.S. desperate to avoid another home loss, every decision matters.

Join us as we analyze the roster, weigh the risks, and ask if Bradley’s bold call will pay off—or haunt Team USA.
