  1. Bryson DeChambeau Is Killing LIV Golf One Quote at a Time

    Bryson DeChambeau Is Killing LIV Golf One Quote at a Time

    Bryson DeChambeau Said He Might Just Do YouTube. That Is a Disaster for LIV Golf. LIV Golf is looking for 250 million dollars in outside investment to survive past this season. PIF has pulled its funding. The tour is preparing to file for bankruptcy. Scott O'Neill — LIV's CEO — is scrambling to find sponsors, media rights deals, and investors who believe there is still a business here worth saving. And then Bryson DeChambeau went on a podcast and said this: "I'm in that weird space right now. I don't know what to do either. Content creation or professional golf. I don't know what to do right now." Scott O'Neill, somewhere, felt that. Bryson is not just a player on LIV Golf. O'Neill has called him a business partner. Said he is in the room for negotiations. Said he has ideas and is invested in the future of the tour. Bryson is the one LIV player who transcends the tour — three million YouTube subscribers, a crossover audience that follows him for the content as much as the golf, a personality that generates attention whether he is playing well or not. If LIV has a calling card heading into investor meetings, it is Bryson DeChambeau. And Bryson just told the world he might be done with professional golf. Trey breaks down exactly why this matters — and why the timing could not be worse. Without unlimited guaranteed money, what is LIV actually selling to players who could be on the PGA Tour? Without Bryson and Jon Rahm, what is the product? And without a compelling product, how do you convince 250 million dollars worth of investors that this thing has a future? It was always about the money. That is the honest version of why players went to LIV in the first place. Graham McDowell said it. Dustin Johnson essentially said it. Everyone knows it. The guaranteed money was the entire value proposition. Now the guaranteed money is gone. And the one player who might have been able to stay relevant without it — because his YouTube channel gives him an independent income stream — is the same player who just raised his hand and said maybe I'll just do that instead. Trey also addresses the competitive fire question directly. Brooks Koepka came back from LIV and said he has fallen in love with the game again. Tiger Woods is grinding through a body that has been through more surgeries than most people can count because he wants win number 83. That is what greatness looks like. Bryson has won two US Opens. He has been on the biggest stages in golf and delivered. The question is whether that competitive drive is still there — or whether the content creator version of Bryson has become more interesting to him than the golfer version. And then there is the moon landing. Separate issue entirely. But Trey gets into that too. This is a story about one quote at exactly the wrong moment — and what it reveals about where LIV Golf actually is right now. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Captain Jim Furyk on Why America Keeps Losing the Ryder Cup — and What He Is Going to Do About It

    Captain Jim Furyk on Why America Keeps Losing the Ryder Cup — and What He Is Going to Do About It The United States has not won a Ryder Cup on foreign soil since 1993. That is not a talent problem. The Americans have had the best players in the world for most of that stretch. It is something else. And Jim Furyk — the newly named US Ryder Cup Captain heading into Adare Manor in 2027 — knows exactly what it is. Trey sat down with Furyk for his first major interview since taking the captaincy. This is not a press conference. It is a real conversation about what has gone wrong, what needs to change, and what the plan actually looks like to finally bring the Ryder Cup back to American hands on European soil. Furyk has been part of this event since 1997. He has played on 16 teams. He captained the US at Paris in 2018 and served as a key figure in Montreal in 2024. Nobody in American golf has more experience inside this event than Jim Furyk. And he is not sugarcoating anything. The foursomes problem is real and he names it directly. One and seven in Rome. Two and six at Bethpage. Even in the blowout win in Montreal, the US was three points down in alternate shot. Furyk breaks down exactly why that has happened — from the golf ball situation to the pairings to the communication breakdown between captains and players — and what specifically changes under his watch. The organizational overhaul goes deeper than most people realize. Furyk is not just picking 12 players and sending them out. He is building a pipeline. He named Stuart Appleby and Justin Leonard as vice captains early — not because the job needs filling now but because he wants them inside every decision from day one. The goal is continuity from Ryder Cup to Ryder Cup. A program that learns and grows rather than starting over every two years with a new captain who has never run the operation before. The 2018 Paris lessons are specific and honest. Furyk talks about arriving in France exhausted — one day after the Tour Championship ended, Tiger's emotional comeback win still fresh, everyone running on fumes. He talks about underestimating the executive nature of the captain's role. How you spend more time managing 75 to 100 people — players, caddies, spouses, coaches, staff — than you do watching golf. He will not make those same mistakes at Adare Manor. The team arrives early. They get comfortable. They know the course before they tee it up in competition. The LIV qualification question comes up directly. With Bryson DeChambeau missing the cut at two straight majors and the future of that tour uncertain, how do LIV players earn their way onto the US team? Furyk addresses the point system overhaul, the captain's picks structure, and what he is actually looking for beyond just ranking. And then there is the culture question — the one that US golf fans have been asking for years. Why do the Europeans always look like they are having more fun? Furyk pushes back on that directly. He tells the story of 2008 at Valhalla — watching the Europeans on the 18th green on Saturday night, quiet and tight and concerned — and leaning over to his wife and saying they look like us every other year. Winning is fun. The US needs to get back to winning. The Ryder Cup is the greatest event in golf. Jim Furyk has spent 30 years inside it. Here is what he is building.

    Aaron Rai Won the PGA Championship by Doing the Exact Opposite of What Everyone Said You Had to Do

    Aaron Rai Won the PGA Championship by Doing the Exact Opposite of What Everyone Said You Had to Do Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at square.com/go/WINGO #squarepod #sponsored Aaron Rai just won the Wanamaker Trophy at Aronimink. And he did it in a way that nobody saw coming — not because of who he is, but because of how he did it. Before the first round was played, the consensus was clear. Rory McIlroy said it himself. Strategy off the tee at Aronimink is basically non-existent. Bomb it down there and figure it out. The longest hitters on tour had a significant advantage. Grip it and rip it. Aldrick Potgieter. Jon Rahm. Chris Gotterup. The bombers were going to have their week. Aaron Rai had a different idea. Over the last three seasons on the PGA Tour, Rai has never finished lower than fifth in driving accuracy. While everyone else was bombing it into the rough and hacking it out, Rai was finding fairways. Seven of his last eight fairways down the stretch on Sunday. Bogey free over his last 10 holes. Six under par coming home. His average approach shot over four days at Aronimink was 170.3 yards — seven yards longer than the field average and ranked 67th among players who made the cut. He was not the longest. He was the most precise. The numbers tell the whole story. His score got lower every single round of the championship — the first player to do that in a major since Mark O'Meara won the Masters in 1998. He holed 182 feet of putts on Sunday alone — the most in a single round of his PGA Tour career. Including a 68-footer on the par three 17th — the second longest made putt by any player all week — that effectively ended the championship. And he did all of this with the entire field chasing him. Jon Rahm. Rory McIlroy. Xander Schauffele. Patrick Reed. Justin Rose. Scottie Scheffler. Brooks Koepka. Every name on that leaderboard had a longer major resume than Aaron Rai. He had one PGA Tour win — the 2024 Wyndham Championship. He had never been in this position before. And he held every single one of them off. The historic context makes it even more remarkable. Aaron Rai became the first Englishman to win the PGA Championship since Jim Barnes in September of 1919 — before the Black Sox scandal, before most of American sports history as we know it. He ended a streak of 10 consecutive PGA Championships won by American players. And with Rory winning the Masters and Rai winning the PGA, it is the first time two European men have won the first two majors of a season since the Masters began in 1934. Trey also breaks down Justin Thomas — who shot a final round 65 and led the clubhouse for a long stretch before Rai's closing birdie run made it irrelevant. JT is rounding into form. His comeback from back surgery is real. And with the US Open at Shinnecock and the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale still to come, he is going to be in the conversation. And then there is the bigger picture. We are 32 days from the US Open at Shinnecock Hills. Two majors down. Two to go. And the 2026 major season has already made history in ways nobody predicted heading into Augusta back in April. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  5. Why This PGA Championship Sunday Might Be the Greatest We Have Ever Seen

    Why This PGA Championship Sunday Might Be the Greatest We Have Ever Seen

    Why This PGA Championship Sunday Might Be the Greatest We Have Ever Seen  Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at square.com/go/WINGO #squarepod #sponsored Before we even get started — nobody knows what is going to happen on Sunday at Aronimink. And that is exactly the point. After 54 holes at the PGA Championship, we have something that has never happened before in the history of this championship. 22 players enter the final round within four shots of the lead. Twenty-two. The most in PGA Championship history. One of the most chaotic, wide open, impossible to predict major championship Sundays any of us have ever seen is set up and ready to go outside Philadelphia. Alex Smalley leads by two at six under par. A player with no PGA Tour wins, three previous PGA Championship appearances, and a best finish of T23. A Duke environmental science graduate whose parents have caddied for him throughout his career. If Alex Smalley walks out of Aronimink on Sunday evening with the Wanamaker Trophy it will go down as one of the greatest upsets in the history of professional golf. History says a two-shot leader wins about 40% of the time. That means 60% of the time — someone else does. And look at who that someone else could be. Jon Rahm is at four under par — two back. This is the first time Rahm has genuinely contended in a major since he left for LIV. The man Justin Ray once called John Rahm Destroyer of Worlds — the player who won the 2021 US Open and the 2023 Masters, who was as dominant as anyone on the PGA Tour before he left — is right back there. His competitive fire is burning again at exactly the moment his tour's future is most uncertain. Rory McIlroy is three back. He opened with a 74. He followed it with a 67 and a 66. If he wins on Sunday it will be his seventh major. That puts him in extraordinarily exclusive company. He already has 30 PGA Tour wins and six majors. A seventh major at a course where he has played beautifully all week would be something to talk about for a long time. Xander Schauffele is three back. He won the PGA Championship two years ago at Valhalla. He won the Open Championship the same year. He knows how to close. Patrick Reed is three back — 68-72-67, steady as the entire week, earning his way back the hard way after LIV. Maverick McNealy is three back — his putter is his best weapon and the greens at Aronimink have rewarded good putting all week. Then there is Justin Rose. Made the cut on the number. Shot a 65 in round three. He is four back. He has a win and a second place finish in previous PGA Tour events at Aronimink. His only major was the 2013 US Open — played at Merion, just a few miles down the road from where they are playing this week. If Justin Rose wins the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday he becomes the king of Philadelphia. Chris Gotterup — one of Trey's picks heading into the week — is at two under, four back. A Jersey kid completely comfortable in these conditions. Hideki Matsuyama is there. Ludvig Åberg is there. Cameron Smith — who has barely been heard from in a major since winning the Open Championship at St. Andrews in 2022 — is right there at two under. Scottie Scheffler, the number one player in the world, is at one under par. Five back. Trying to win back to back PGA Championships. Brooks Koepka has won three of these things. He is one under as well. The weather is going to be brutal. Temperatures approaching 90 degrees outside Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon. Those greens that played firm and fast all week are going to get crispier as the day goes on. The PGA Championship has historically been a birdie fest. Aronimink played like a US Open for the first two days. Sunday could be both — birdies early, survival late. One of these 22 players walks out with the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday evening. We have absolutely no idea which one. And that is exactly why you cannot miss a single shot. Clear your Sunday. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  6. Scottie Scheffler Is Two Back at the PGA Championship. That Should Terrify Everyone.

    Scottie Scheffler Is Two Back at the PGA Championship. That Should Terrify Everyone.

    Scottie Scheffler Is Two Back at the PGA Championship. That Should Terrify Everyone. Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at square.com/go/WINGO #squarepod #sponsored After 36 holes at Aronimink, the PGA Championship has given us everything we could have asked for heading into the weekend. Surprise leaders. Former champions lurking. A grand slam chase still alive. Historic numbers. And a Sunday forecast that could change everything. Here is where things stand — and why the next two rounds at Aronimink are going to be must-watch golf. Alex Smalley and Maverick McNealy are tied for the lead at four under par. Two names nobody had circled heading into this week. Two players who have never been in this position at a major championship. McNealy said it himself after his round — his putter is his best weapon. And at a golf course where the greens have been the great equalizer all week, that matters enormously. Getting to the lead is one thing. Holding it over 36 holes on a major championship weekend with the best players in the world breathing down your neck is something else entirely. And nobody is breathing down their neck quite like Scottie Scheffler. Scottie is two back. He has four majors. He is trying to win back-to-back PGA Championships — something only Brooks Koepka and Tiger Woods have done in the modern era. He was the first player in his career to share the 36-hole lead at a major after round one on Thursday. He battled difficult morning conditions on Friday and still came back. He is right where he wants to be. Anyone who has watched Scottie Scheffler play golf over the last three years knows exactly what two back with 36 holes to play means. Chris Gotterup is one back. One of Trey’s picks heading into the week. A Jersey kid completely comfortable slugging it out in Philadelphia conditions. Cam Young is two back. Justin Thomas — a two-time PGA Championship winner — is two back. Hideki Matsuyama is right there. And Rory McIlroy, who fell apart in round one with five bogeys in his last six holes, bounced back with a 67 on Friday. That 67 was his 43rd round of 67 or better at a major championship. The only player in history with more is Tiger Woods with 48. Rory is back in it. Then there is the number that puts all of this in context. Per Justin Ray — 45 of the last 50 men’s major champions were within four shots of the lead after 36 holes. That means the field is effectively down to 28 players. And within those 28 players are some of the most compelling storylines in golf right now. Jordan Spieth is at plus one — just outside that window but not out of it. This is his 10th attempt to complete the career grand slam. Rory took 10 attempts before he finally won the Masters. The door is not closed. The weather sealed it. Whatever difficult conditions were coming — the howling 30-mile-an-hour winds, the freezing morning temperatures that turned Friday’s early wave into a survival test — that is behind us now. The weekend is supposed to be warm. Temperatures could hit 90 degrees on Sunday afternoon outside Philadelphia. Those greens that were slightly receptive on Friday afternoon are going to get firm and fast. The PGA Championship played like a US Open through the first two rounds. The weekend could be a completely different test. The stage is set. The storylines are loaded. And Scottie Scheffler is two back. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    The PGA Championship Is Off to a Wild Start. Here Is What Happened.

    Scottie and Spieth Rise. Rory and Bryson Collapse. PGA Championship Round 1 Recap. Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at square.com/go/WINGO #squarepod #sponsored Round 1 of the PGA Championship at Aronimink delivered everything you could ask for from a major championship opening day. A seven-way tie atop the leaderboard at three under par. A historic first for the world's best player. A grand slam chase that nobody took seriously suddenly very real. Two of the biggest names in the sport falling apart when it mattered. And a story nobody saw coming that reminded everyone why we watch this game. Trey Wingo breaks it all down from Cabo San Lucas — where he is on his annual college buddies golf trip — giving you the full picture of everything that happened in round one at Aronimink. Scottie Scheffler is tied for the lead. And here is the thing about that — for the first time in his career on the PGA Tour, Scottie Scheffler has either led or shared the lead after the first round of a major championship. He has been the dominant number one player in the world for three years. He has won four majors. And he has never been in this position after round one until today. His approach play has been slightly off this season by his own extraordinary standards. It was not off today. The full arsenal was on display. Scottie Scheffler is primed for something big over the next three days. Jordan Spieth is at one under par — two strokes off the lead. Spieth needs a PGA Championship to complete the career grand slam and join Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy in the most exclusive club in men's golf. Nobody was taking that seriously heading into this week. His recent PGA Championship record has been poor. He had no top tens this year. And then Thursday happened. The grand slam chase is suddenly very real. Martin Kaymer is also in contention and it is one of the best stories of round one. Kaymer is a two-time major winner — the 2010 PGA Championship and the 2014 US Open. He went to LIV and essentially disappeared. No top 20 finishes this season. Someone apparently questioned why he was even at Aronimink. Trey tells the full story of what happened next — and uses the greatest Bubba Watson club championship story you have ever heard to explain exactly why you never say that to a competitor. Now for the other side of the leaderboard. Rory McIlroy bogeyed five of his last six holes. The back-to-back Masters champion came in with a blister concern, played through it, and then fell apart down the stretch. He is at four over par with serious work to do to make the cut. Bryson DeChambeau made a birdie on his final hole to get in at six over par. A 76 in round one. He also missed the cut at the Masters. And Trey makes the case that two consecutive missed cuts in majors is not just a bad week — it is a direct hit to whatever negotiating leverage Bryson thinks he has with the PGA Tour. And then there is Garrick Higgo. Higgo was assessed a two-stroke penalty for being late to his tee time. He arrived at the tee box after 7:19 for a 7:18 starting time. Before he hit a single shot he was two over par. He finished the day at one under. One stroke off the lead. Seven strokes better than Bryson DeChambeau. With a two-stroke penalty already in the books. Round one at Aronimink gave us everything. Here is the full breakdown. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  8. The Top 25 Public Golf Courses in America — My Honest Opinion

    The Top 25 Public Golf Courses in America — My Honest Opinion

    The Top 25 Public Golf Courses in America — My Honest Opinion After Playing Most of Them Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at ⁠square.com/go/WINGO⁠ #squarepod #sponsored Every year Golf Digest, Golf.com, and Golfweek rank the best public golf courses in America. This year they combined all three lists into one composite ranking — and the results are worth talking about. Trey Wingo has played 20 of the 25 courses on this list. Not as a journalist. Not as a tourist. As a golfer who has spent decades on some of the greatest public tracks in the country. So when a list like this comes out, he has opinions. Real ones. In this video Trey breaks down the full top 25 — what the list gets right, what it gets wrong, and which courses deserve to be ranked much higher than they are. Pebble Beach is number one and it is hard to argue with that. The stretch of holes from four through ten along Stillwater Cove might be the most beautiful piece of golf real estate anywhere in the world. But is it actually the best golf course on this list? Trey makes the case that Spyglass Hill — ranked 14th — is a better golf course. Not a better experience. A better golf course. The difference matters. Kapalua Plantation comes in at number 24. For Trey it is a home course. He has played it more times than almost anything else on this list. And 24th does not feel right. Shadow Creek checks in at number eight with a greens fee of $1,250. Is it worth it? Trey has not played it. But he has thoughts on whether any golf course is worth four figures for a round. Bandon Dunes has five courses on this list — Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails, Old Macdonald, and Sheep Ranch. All five made the composite ranking. Trey breaks down which ones he loves, which one he thinks is overrated, and why Bandon Trails gets more credit than it deserves simply because of the company it keeps. Sand Valley, Streamsong, Whistling Straits, Bethpage Black, Pinehurst Number Two, the Lido, Mammoth Dunes, Erin Hills — Trey has been to almost all of them and has something to say about each one. At the bottom of the list sits Manele Golf Course on Lanai, Hawaii. Number 25. Jack Nicklaus design. Twelve holes along one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in the Pacific. A 12th hole par three that drops over a hundred feet into the ocean. The same hole where Bill Gates bought out every charter plane and helicopter in Hawaii just so he could get married in private. Trey would put it considerably higher. This is not a sponsored rankings video. It is not a tourism piece. It is one golfer who has been to almost every course on this list telling you honestly what he thinks — where the composite rankings got it right, where they got it wrong, and where you should actually spend your money if you are planning a golf trip.
