On the Tee with Gabe Neitzel and Stephen Watson is live from The Bog, breaking down another frustrating result for American team golf after Europe claimed the Solheim Cup 15-13. Gabe and Stephen discuss the Americans’ Saturday-night celebration that provided Europe with some extra motivation, why winning on foreign soil continues to be such a challenge and the standout performances from Alison Lee and Lauren Coughlin. Plus, Rory McIlroy couldn’t resist taking a little jab at Team USA.
The guys also dive into the PGA Tour’s new Championship and Challenger Series qualification rules for 2028. Who gets into the top series, how can players earn promotion and could the new structure eventually provide a path back for LIV stars like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau? Gabe and Stephen explain why the changes could make the 2027 regular season dramatically more meaningful.
Finally, Stephen has some thoughts about Duff Foreman, the AI golf commentator who debuted at the New Mexico Open. As a golf broadcaster himself, Stephen explains what the AI broadcast was missing, reacts to Duff delivering incorrect information on-air and comes away from the experiment feeling much better about the future of human golf broadcasters.
