Emergency 9 Golf Emergency 9 Podcast

What a week at the PGA! Xander gets his first major title and silences the critics who said he couldn't win a big one. How many can he win now? We then get into some of the other contenders. Is Bryson a fan favorite now? Hovland goes back to his coach and has instant success, which leads us to a conversation about coaches. We discuss how we thought the course played and then of course, got into Scottie's arrest. Mike has a new favorite person in golf after Johnson Wagner is stealing the show during "Live From" each night. We then get into our picks for this week's Charles Schwab Challenge.

Big news for one of our guys to start off the show! That news leads us down a short rabbit hole to discuss course architects. Also, one of us acted an actual member of the media today at an event. We then get into Rory's impressive final round to win at Wells Fargo again. We touch on Xander and where him and Rory stack up against some of the other best players in the world as we lead into the PGA Championship. How does Rory winning the week before a major and the divorce announcement affect his chances this week. We break down the TIO situation with Xander as well from the first round. Some PGA Tour politics are discussed before a few tips of the caps for some great performances over the last week. We then cap the show with our picks for this week's PGA Championship

We have a couple of weeks to catch up on. We start with a little talk about the Zurich 2-man event. Then we get into the recent CJ Cup and dramatic turnaround on the last hole with Taylor Pendrith and Ben Kohles. There is a self-talk and psychology discussion based on some comments from Kohles after the round. Are these guys being honest with themselves? The second half of the show centers around a bunch of LIV topics coming off of their last two events. Some guys continue to make dumb comments but the PGA of America bails them out with some special exemptions into the PGA Championship. We discuss the course choice for their season long finale as well. The show finishes with our picks for this week's elevated, designated, signature event at the Wells Fargo in Charlotte.

Tough night for technology for the guys but we powered through to discuss all things golf this week. Unfortunately, the conversation starts with rollback and rough but we then get to Scottie's win...again. We keep trying to find new ways to say the same thing as he is on this amazing stretch of golf. Will a new child slow him down? We then get to the other hottest player in the world, Nelly Korda. This is just what the LPGA needs and hopefully there is some residual success they can get like women's basketball got with Caitlin Clark. Slow play was a big topic coming out of the LPGA event but it is really a problem in all of professional golf. How do we fix it to help attract younger viewers? We briefly touch on a few Korn Ferry Tour topics after a 15-year old shined and made the cut. We loose McLean but finish the show with our picks for this week's 2-man Zurich Classic.

Another impressive performance from the #1 player in the world as Scottie win's his second green jacket at The Masters and continues his hot streak. We breakdown his performance, his game, and his persona. We dive deep and do our best to find new ways to explain his great greatness. Is Scottie dominating good for golf? We also discuss some of the other contenders from the weekend. We touch on Tiger's performance after making another cut at Augusta. We then make our picks for this week's "signature event" on the PGA Tour. Then somehow McLean shoehorns a rollback argument in at the end.

The best week of the year is here! But before we get to The Masters, we have a lot to breakdown and discuss after no show last week. We start by discussing the crazy finish at the Valero Texas Open between Akshay Bhatia and Denny McCarthy. We then touch on Stephen Jaeger's first PGA Tour victory in Houston as he out dueled Scottie. Some other non-PGA Tour related news is discussed- Nelly Korda on a tear, LIV Miami, as well as a couple of Masshole Minutes on Chris DiMarco and Bryson DeChambeau. We finish the show with our Master preview, as we go in-depth on the golf course based around a chat of our favorite and most underrated holes. We make our picks while also chatting about a few of the big names.
