With the Australian Open underway at Royal Melbourne, Soly and TC bring on Scott Warren and Matt Mollica - the hosts of the Australian Golf Passport Podcast - to discuss the tournament and a bevy of other golf topics from down under. These include moving the tournament away from a co-sanctioned event with the women’s open, the future of both men’s and women’s opens, recent course architecture renovations and updates at New South Wales, Royal Sydney and elsewhere. Plus, they cover recent updates to the World Top 100 rankings and their favorite interviews from their podcast so far.
Soly catches up with Justin Thomas to mainly talk all things 2025 Ryder Cup and the lessons learned from the defeat at Bethpage. But before their Ryder Cup chat, we hear from JT on his recovery from recent surgery and his career in team golf. They close their discussion with thoughts on the future of the PGA Tour under the new leadership of Brian Rolapp and on potential schedule changes in 2027.
Soly, TC and Randy run a three-man weave on the pod, starting with Sami Valimaki’s win at Sea Island and Jeeno Thitikul claiming the LPGA CME Tour Championship. They also touch on Harris English's hinting at a massive tour schedule shakeup for the 2027 season, some odds and ends from the LPGA season and potential roster movement on LIV. From there, they break down the newest Golf.com top 100 list, including several courses that made their debut and some notable names that moved up and down the rankings.
Soly is joined by former tour pro Steve Wheatcroft to discuss his professional career and his recently released book “Cocktails and Range Balls: One's Too Many, Ten's Not Enough." The book is a blend of memorable stories from his career at all levels of professional golf and his struggles with alcohol. It also discusses the difficulty of life on the road amidst the pressure of competing at the highest level. We’re incredibly thankful to Steve for his willingness to share his story and his foundation’s efforts to assist others who struggle with excessive drinking.
Poosh, Randy, and TC check in on the playoff races as we head into week 12 of the NFL season. We also offer a list of what we’re sure of, and a few things we need to figure out with eight weeks to go until the playoffs begin.
Randy and Cody recap the Annika and set the stage for the CME Tour Championship this week in Naples. We also recap the season and notable players missing out on this week’s tournament and close with some trivia and reactions to the news about the Chevron's move to a new home and LPGA TV broadcast upgrades for 2026.
