    J.R. Smith on Falling in Love With Golf, LeBron’s Swing and Life After the NBA

    J.R. Smith on Falling in Love With Golf, LeBron’s Swing and Life After the NBA This episode is sponsored by Quince. Free shipping and 365-day returns at Quince.com/wingo J.R. Smith joins Trey Wingo on The Wingo Network to talk about the game that took over his life after basketball: golf. J.R. explains how Moses Malone first put a club in his hands, why one 300-yard drive got him hooked, and how the game became more than just something to do after NBA practices. From NBA Champion to College Golfer After winning championships with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers, J.R. found himself asking what came next. That answer eventually became school and college golf. J.R. talks about going back to college, joining the golf team at North Carolina A&T, and what it was like competing with players nearly half his age after spending years at the highest level of the NBA. LeBron Finally Gets Golf One of the funniest parts of the conversation comes when J.R. explains how he tried to warn LeBron James about golf. J.R. told LeBron it would become the most addictive thing he had ever done. LeBron did not believe him at first. Now, according to J.R., LeBron is sending him swing videos, tips, and fully understands what the golf obsession is all about. J.R. also talks about Bronny’s swing, LeBron’s golf etiquette, and why some natural athletes pick up the game faster than everyone else. The 2016 Cavs and Life After Basketball Trey and J.R. also look back on the 10-year anniversary of the Cavaliers championship, the bond between those teammates, and their recent golf trip through London, Scotland, and France. J.R. shares stories about Kevin Love, LeBron, Tristan Thompson, and what it was like getting the band back together. Golf, Tattoos and What Comes Next J.R. opens up about his tattoos, the connection he feels with artists, and why golf now gives him a new competitive outlet. He also talks about playing in celebrity and athlete golf events, how good he thinks he can become, and why tournament golf is completely different from casual rounds with friends. From NBA Finals runs to college golf tournaments, J.R. Smith’s story is about competition, reinvention, and the game he says you can never really escape once it gets into your soul.

    Jackson Koivun Just Beat the World No. 1. Is Golf’s Next American Star Already Here? | Golf Live

    Jackson Koivun beat Scottie Scheffler. How real is the hype around golf’s newest star? Go to Quince.com/WINGO. Get free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. Now available in Canada and the UK. Jackson Koivun needed only three PGA Tour starts to earn his first victory, and he did it by holding off world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. Now the real question begins: How much should golf believe the hype? Trey Wingo and Justin Ray examine what made Koivun’s breakthrough so convincing, from a dominant weekend of iron play to a short game already being described in generational terms. They also compare his college résumé with some of golf’s biggest modern stars and explain why this arrival may be different from other highly touted prospects who never reached their expected ceiling. But nothing is guaranteed. Koivun’s aggressive, unconventional swing raises long-term questions, and one victory does not automatically make someone a future major champion. Trey and Justin break down what the win actually tells us, which parts of Koivun’s game appear sustainable and how quickly he could move from rising prospect to the FedEx Cup playoffs and the Presidents Cup conversation.

    The World Cup Changed Everything. Now Comes the Fight Over What Happens Next.

    The World Cup was a massive success. Now the fight over money, media rights, and access begins. Go to Quince.com/WINGO. Get free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. Now available in Canada and the UK. The World Cup delivered massive television audiences, brought international fans into cities across the United States and created one of the biggest sports-media opportunities in years. Now the real questions begin. Margaret Fleming of Front Office Sports joins Trey Wingo to examine who actually benefited from the tournament, why the full economic impact may take years to understand and what happens when FIFA negotiates its next American media-rights deal. The current rights were secured for far less than networks pay for properties such as the NFL and NBA. With future bidding potentially starting around $1 billion, companies including Netflix, YouTube and Disney could enter the competition. That could drive the value of the World Cup higher, but it also raises a major concern for viewers: will future tournaments remain widely available, or will more matches move behind subscription paywalls? Trey and Margaret also discuss the uneven returns for host cities, the public money invested in transportation and operations, and why restaurants and hotels did not all experience the same financial windfall. They examine the increase in interest around American soccer and why the tournament’s true impact may not be measurable for years. The conversation also explores how international supporters experienced a different side of the United States, from Kansas City and Texas to distinctly American stops such as Buc-ee’s and Texas Roadhouse. That change in perception may become one of the tournament’s most valuable long-term legacies. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Ryan Fox Just Made the Biggest 36-Hole Comeback in Major History

    Ryan Fox Just Made the Biggest 36-Hole Comeback in Major History Head to cozyearth.com and use code WINGO for an exclusive 20% off. Ryan Fox is the Champion Golfer of the Year, and his Open Championship win was even crazier than it looked. Trey Wingo and Justin Ray break down how Fox went from T-52 after 36 holes to winning The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, completing the biggest 36-hole comeback by position in men’s major championship history. Ryan Fox Makes History Fox completely changed the tournament with a Saturday 62, then finished the job on Sunday with a birdie on the 72nd hole. Justin explains why that comeback was not just rare, but record-setting. The previous biggest 36-hole comeback by position in a men’s major came from 39th place. Fox came from outside the top 50. A Throwback Champion Trey and Justin also explain why Fox became such a popular winner. His swing is not picture-perfect. His game is not overly mechanical. His pace of play is fast, simple, and refreshing. He sees the shot, hits the shot, and moves on. At a time when golf can feel overanalyzed, Fox won The Open by playing golf his own way. The New Zealand Legacy Fox also joins one of the most exclusive lists in New Zealand golf history. Trey and Justin discuss his sporting background, his family’s athletic roots, and why this win puts him alongside New Zealand’s major champions. Why Birkdale Delivered Royal Birkdale produced four rounds of 62 in Open Championship history, including three this week alone. But the winning score was still only 10-under, which made the week feel different from a normal birdie-fest. Justin explains why the course allowed historic low rounds while still producing a dramatic and difficult championship finish. Ryan Fox rewrote the record book, won his first major, and gave golf one of the best stories of the year. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    The Majors Are Over. Now Golf Has to Wait Nine Months.

    The Majors Are Over. Now Golf Has to Wait Nine Months. Head to cozyearth.com and use code WINGO for an exclusive 20% off. The Open Championship is finished, Ryan Fox is the Champion Golfer of the Year, and the men’s major season is officially over. Trey Wingo and Justin Ray recap a wild week at Royal Birkdale, from Ryan Fox’s historic comeback to Bryson DeChambeau’s penalty controversy, Scottie Scheffler’s strange Sunday, Cameron Young’s near-miss, Sam Burns’ heartbreak, and the bigger question golf now has to answer: why are the majors done in July? Ryan Fox Makes History Ryan Fox went from T-52 after 36 holes to winning The Open Championship, completing the biggest 36-hole comeback by position in men’s major championship history. Justin explains why Fox’s Saturday 62 changed everything, why his win was so rare, and why his style, pace of play, and New Zealand sporting background made him such a popular champion. The Bryson Penalty Debate Trey and Justin break down the Bryson DeChambeau two-shot penalty, why the R&A was in charge instead of the PGA Tour, and why intent was not the only issue. They also discuss Bryson’s reaction, the idea that he may have threatened to leave the championship, and why both Trey and Justin believe golf is better when Bryson is relevant in majors — even when the drama gets complicated. Scottie, Cameron Young and Sam Burns Scottie Scheffler had one of the strangest final rounds of the week, including a wild break on 17 and a ruling that could have created even more controversy. Cameron Young shot 64 on Sunday and still came up one shot short. Sam Burns had another major chance slip away, but Justin explains why he may be one of the best bets to break through soon. Why Is Major Season Already Over? The Open was the final men’s major of the year, which means golf now waits roughly nine months until the next one. Trey makes the case for moving the PGA Championship back to August, why the current major schedule feels too compressed, and why golf is better when the major season has more room to breathe. Mailbag Trey and Justin also answer viewer questions on scoring records, whether strokes under par or total score matters more, major championship experience, video review in golf, future multiple-major winners, and whether players owe the media post-round interviews.

    Ryan Fox Just Pulled Off the Biggest Comeback in Major Championship History. Here’s What It Means.

    Ryan Fox Just Pulled Off the Biggest Comeback in Major Championship History. Here’s What It Means. Head to cozyearth.com and use code WINGO for an exclusive 20% off. Ryan Fox is the Champion Golfer of the Year. At 39 years old, Fox won The Open Championship for his first major title, his third PGA TOUR win, and one of the most unlikely major victories golf has ever seen. After two rounds at Royal Birkdale, Fox was tied for 52nd. By Sunday night, he was holding the trophy. Trey Wingo reacts to Fox’s historic comeback, his 72nd-hole birdie to edge Cameron Young, and why this win was not just a great finish — it was a career-defining moment. The Record Ryan Fox did not just win The Open. He pulled off the largest 36-hole comeback by position in men’s major championship history. After sitting T-52 through two rounds, Fox shot into contention with a Saturday 62, then finished the job on Sunday with four birdies in his final six holes. That included the birdie on 18 that gave him the championship by one. The Rarity Fox also joined a very short list of golfers who have won their first major at 39 or older in the last 30 years. Trey breaks down why that matters, what it says about Fox’s career, and why this was not some random one-week story. Fox had already won twice on the PGA TOUR in 2025, both times in playoffs, and he brought that same toughness into the biggest moment of his career. The Legacy Ryan Fox became just the second player from New Zealand to win The Open Championship, joining Bob Charles in 1963. Trey looks at Fox’s athletic background, his New Zealand roots, his pace of play, and the calm mentality that helped him handle bad breaks, pressure, and one of the toughest closing stretches in golf. The Chasers Cameron Young shot 64 on Sunday and still came up short. Sam Burns had the lead and another major chance, but could not close. Scottie Scheffler had one of the strangest final rounds of the week. Bryson DeChambeau’s penalty controversy still hung over the weekend. Trey breaks down how all of it shaped the final round at Royal Birkdale. The Major Season Is Over The Open Championship was the final major of the year, which means golf now waits roughly nine months for the next major at Augusta. Trey explains why he still believes the PGA Championship belongs back in August, why the current major schedule feels too compressed, and why golf is better when the major season has more room to breathe. Ryan Fox won The Open. He made New Zealand history. And he pulled off one of the greatest comebacks major championship golf has ever seen. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Bryson DeChambeau Still Has a Chance. But He Has to Get Out of His Own Way.

    Bryson DeChambeau Still Has a Chance. But He Has to Get Out of His Own Way. Head to cozyearth.com and use code WINGO for an exclusive 20% off. After three rounds at Royal Birkdale, The Open Championship has two major stories. The first is the leaderboard. Sam Burns heads into Sunday with a two-shot lead at 10-under, after putting together one of the best 36-hole stretches in major championship history. Ryan Fox, who fired a 62 on Saturday, will join him in the final pairing. Si Woo Kim, Ryan Gerard, Tommy Fleetwood, Ludvig Aberg, Xander Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler and others are all still within range. And then there is Bryson DeChambeau. After Friday’s two-shot penalty, Bryson remains one of the biggest stories of the championship. Trey Wingo breaks down why the penalty ruling was not a PGA Tour conspiracy, why the R&A had jurisdiction at The Open, and why the rule did not require intent. If officials believed Bryson’s actions had the potential to improve his swing, that was enough for a penalty. Trey also reacts to the way Bryson handled the fallout. For two straight days, Bryson did not speak after his round. After the animated discussion with rules officials, the delayed uncertainty around whether he would continue, and the possibility that he may have threatened to disqualify himself, Trey says Bryson owed people an explanation. But the golf part is still very real. Bryson is only four shots back entering Sunday. Nobody ahead of him on the leaderboard has done what he has done: win multiple major championships. Sam Burns, Ryan Fox, Si Woo Kim and the others in front of him all have a chance to change their careers, but Bryson already knows what it feels like to close. That makes Sunday about mindset. Does Bryson look at the leaderboard and focus on the penalty he believes cost him? Or does he realize he is four shots back at the final major of the year, with no major champions ahead of him, and a real chance to turn his entire season around? Trey compares the situation to Rory McIlroy at the Masters, when Rory had to reset mentally after missing a putt to win and still found a way to finish the job. The Open Championship is bigger than one player. But Bryson DeChambeau has made himself one of the biggest stories of the week. Now he has one round left to decide what kind of story it becomes.

    Bryson DeChambeau’s Two-Stroke Penalty Changed The Open Championship

    Bryson DeChambeau’s Two-Stroke Penalty Changed The Open Championship Head to cozyearth.com and use code WINGO for an exclusive 20% off. Subscribe to support the channel: https://www.youtube.com/@treywingopresents?sub_confirmation=1 Bryson DeChambeau thought he had shot a 66 in the second round of The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. Instead, everything changed after he walked into the scoring area. The R&A rules officials reviewed Bryson’s actions on the fifth hole, where his drive ended up in deep fescue. The question was whether Bryson had improved his lie by walking around the ball and pressing down the grass behind it before hitting his shot. After a long and animated discussion, officials assessed a two-stroke penalty. That moved Bryson from seven-under to five-under. Instead of sitting one shot off the lead and playing in the final group on Saturday, he dropped farther down the leaderboard. Trey Wingo breaks down why the penalty matters, why the R&A was never going to bend on protecting the integrity of the rules, and why Bryson had to be careful not to let his frustration ruin the entire tournament. Because according to Trey, if Bryson had disqualified himself over the penalty, it would have been one of the worst decisions in professional golf history. Even after the penalty, Bryson is still right in the mix. The leaderboard entering the weekend is wide open. Lucas Herbert leads at eight-under after shooting 62. Jackson Suber, Cameron Young and Ryan Gerard are at six-under. Sam Burns and Bryson are at five-under. Behind them are names like Scottie Scheffler, John Rahm, Tommy Fleetwood, Robert MacIntyre and Francesco Molinari. And that is what makes this so interesting. Many of the players ahead of Bryson have never won a major. Bryson has won two U.S. Opens. He knows what it takes to close on the weekend. The biggest question now is whether he can calm down, reset mentally, and turn this controversy into fuel. Trey also explains why the penalty changed the Saturday pairings. Without it, Bryson would have played in the final group with Lucas Herbert. Instead, Herbert now gets Jackson Suber. That is a very different dynamic. The Open now has everything heading into the weekend: controversy, record-setting rounds, young players at the top, proven major champions lurking, and Bryson DeChambeau trying to turn his entire year around. The penalty hurt him. But it did not end his championship. More Straight Facts Homie!
