  • Episode 157: The Rise Of Scottie Scheffler
    Jan 28 2026

    Is it even a fair fight anymore? As of January 2026, Scottie Scheffler has officially moved from "great" to "historic." With a dominant win at the 2026 American Express, Scheffler has reached the 20-win milestone in just 151 starts—joining only Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the players to hit 20 wins and 4 majors before the age of 30.

    In this episode, we break down the surgical precision of the man who has turned the PGA Tour into his personal trophy room. We explore his rise from a Texas junior winning 75 tournaments to becoming a Lifetime Member of the PGA Tour.

    This week, we’re diving into:

    The 20-Win Club: Analyzing the significance of Scottie’s latest victory and his record-breaking 1,442-day sprint from his first win to his 20th.

    Tiger vs. Scottie: The math is finally competitive. We compare Scottie’s 2024–2025 stretch to Tiger’s legendary 2000 season. Who had the better peak?

    Inside the Bag: How Scottie leanns on clubs that he trusts, and how his TaylorMade Spider continues to silence the putting critics.

    The "Major" Hunt: With 4 Majors in the bag, we look ahead to Shinnecock Hills and Scottie’s quest for the career Grand Slam at the U.S. Open.

    Whether you're a die-hard gear head curious about his 7-wood transition or a fan witnessing one of the most consistent ball-striking eras in golf history, this is your deep dive into the reign of Scottie Scheffler.

  • Episode 156: PGA Show 2026 – The Gear Is Here
    Jan 20 2026

    In Episode 156, Jeff and Scott break down everything happening as the golf industry gathers in Orlando for the PGA Show, with a strong focus on the biggest equipment launches and trends heading into the 2026 season.

    The show opens with industry and community updates, including registration details for the 2026 Flagstick Open Amateur Championship, highlights from the Sony Open in Hawaii—where Chris Gotterup earned his first PGA TOUR win—and strong Canadian performances from Taylor Pendrith and Nick Taylor. We also discuss Brooke Henderson being named among the first five players in the newly announced WTGL league.

    The conversation then shifts to the PGA Show itself, explaining what the event is and why it matters. Often described as golf’s version of Fashion Week mixed with a tech convention, the PGA Show brings together thousands of professionals, brands, and executives for product launches, education, networking, and hands-on testing. From Demo Day at Orange County National to the massive exhibition floor, the hosts outline how equipment, apparel, technology, and golf culture all converge in one place. They also highlight major modern trends, including the rise of golf lifestyle branding, explosive growth in simulator and AI technology, and a continued push toward inclusivity and growing the game.

    In the Back Nine, the focus turns fully to new gear for 2026. Drivers remain the headline category, with manufacturers emphasizing tighter dispersion, predictability, and improved performance on off-center hits rather than raw speed alone.
    The hosts also cover major equipment trends across the bag, with perspectives on the latest irons, wedges, putters, golf balls, footwear, and emerging technologies.

    Overall, Episode 156 paints a comprehensive picture of where golf equipment and technology are headed in 2026.

    Jan 13 2026
    The 2026 golf season kicks off with a bombshell. In this episode, we break down the shocking news that Brooks Koepka is officially back on the PGA TOUR. We discuss his official statement, his return at the Farmers Insurance Open, and his candid admission about the "nervous energy" and mending broken bridges in the locker room. We also dive into the mechanics of the newly minted "Returning Member Program"—the Tour's high-stakes solution for bringing back elite talent while maintaining "severe and justified consequences." Who is eligible and will they take up the offer. The 2026 Mailbag: We tackle our first listener Q&A of the year! Including: The Augusta Gamble: Would you bet your entire golfing future on one round to break 90 at National? The "Turn Dog" Debate: Is it actually culinary excellence, or just a blood sugar emergency? The Hill to Die On: Our non-negotiable takes on equipment and brands. Golf YouTube: Is it helping your game or causing total "analysis paralysis"? Music by: https://www.bensound.com/free-music-for-videos License certificate #: 2227748
