    THE OPEN PREVIEW | MAJOR DEBATE AND BEST PLAYS

    Tom Kim ends a drought of over 1,000 days with a wire-to-wire-feeling win at the Genesis Scottish Open, closing 65-66-68-64 and playing bogey-free on Sunday to leave chasers Min Woo Lee, Bob MacIntyre, and world number one Matt Fitzpatrick in the dust. Jordan and Toby (back from vacation, fighting through a rough Riverside connection all episode) break down Fitzpatrick's Sunday putting collapse — two missed three-footers and a five-footer that could've had him leading — plus Keita Nakajima's breakout week and the two Americans, Jonny Keefer and Thorbjornsen, who punched their tickets into this week's Open Championship field. Then it's on to the fourth and final major of the year, the Open at Royal Birkdale, with the course baked out and fairways rolling like a links should. In the Major Debate segment, Jordan locks in Tommy Fleetwood under 0.5 career majors for life while Toby takes the other side on Sam Burns at 1.5. The guys break down Scottie Scheffler's missed-cut bounce-back potential, Rory McIlroy's mental fortitude after a rough Saturday in Scotland, and why Jordan's riding with world number one (by Making the Turn decree) Matt Fitzpatrick as the popular pick to win it all. Plus a full slate of matchups and outrights for Birkdale — Tommy Fleetwood over Scottie Scheffler, Brian Harman over Alex Norrin, Harris English over Ben Griffin, and Justin Thomas over Min Woo Lee — along with finishing-position props on Tyrrell Hatton, Patrick Reed, Joaquin Niemann, and Rory, before the guys unveil their outright picks: Toby backing Russell Henley and a longshot Sam Burns Aaron Rai at 6800-to-1, and Jordan going with Colin Morikawa at 33-1 and Justin Rose at 41-1 to complete the career slam on home soil. #PGATour #TheOpenChampionship #RoyalBirkdale #TomKim #GenesisScottishOpen #GolfPodcast #MakingTheTurn #GolfBetting #DraftKings #FantasyGolf #DFS #MattFitzpatrick #RoryMcIlroy #TommyFleetwood #ColinMorikawa

    John Deere Classic Recap | Scottish Open Preview

    Chris Gotterup closes with a Sunday 62 at the John Deere Classic — his third sub-65 final round of the season — to edge Ben Coles, who three-putted the 72nd hole from 20 under after finding the water left, handing Max Homa the solo second. Jordan (flying solo this week, no Toby) breaks down Gotterup's stinger-through-the-trees escape on 15, Lucas Glover's Friday-night lead fading into a T3, and Jackson Koivun's stunning missed cut as the tournament's third betting favorite. Then it's on to the Genesis Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club, the last big field test before the Open Championship. Jordan breaks down Matt Fitzpatrick's ascension to world number one after Scottie Scheffler's playoff meltdown at the Travelers, Rory McIlroy's historic strokes-gained numbers at this course, and the wild storyline of Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, and other LIV golfers teeing it up in a PGA Tour event after paying their DP World Tour fines. Plus full matchup bets — Tom Kim over Bud Cawley, Nicolai Højgaard over Patrick Cantlay — finishing position props on Fitzpatrick and Rory, and outright picks including Jordan's favorite play of the week, Højgaard, going off at big odds. The guys (well, Jordan) also shout out YouTuber Brad Dalke's surprising T2 start at the German Open before the Open Championship big-pod arrives next week with Toby back in the chair. #PGATour #GeneisScottishOpen #ChrisGotterup #JohnDeereClassic #GolfPodcast #MakingTheTurn #GolfBetting #DraftKings #FantasyGolf #DFS #MattFitzpatrick #RoryMcIlroy #NicolaiHojgaard

    U.S. Open Recap | PGA TOUR Announcement | Travelers Championship Best Plays and Fantasy

    Wyndham Clark wins his second US Open in three years at Shinnecock Hills — a Thursday 64 that benefited from a fog delay and softened greens, a hostile pro-Scheffler New York crowd booing him all the way to the 18th green, and a clutch up-and-down to deny a hard-charging Sam Burns. Jordan and Toby break down whether that opening 64 was "legit," Sam Burns's emotional back-nine charge and the missed 18th-hole putt that ended it, and Scotty Scheffler's underwhelming final round in the last group. They also dig into Keith Mitchell's wild Thursday 41-29 turnaround into four rounds of even-par history, Joaquin Niemann's 11-on-a-hole disaster (complete with an out-of-bounds tee shot and a two-stroke club-throwing penalty) followed by a T7 finish, and Tom Kim's return to major contention. Plus, Jordan ranks the golfers Wyndham has now passed in career majors, and the guys debate the etiquette — and entertainment value — of the rowdy Long Island fans. Then it's on to the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands. Jordan and Toby preview a signature event field, make the case for Brian Harman's absurd course history (five straight top-10s), back Jordan Spieth and Tommy Fleetwood in comfortable territory, and roll out outright bets on Sepp Straka and Sahith Theegala at big numbers. Plus full DFS lineups, top-40 and top-10 prop picks, and a recap of the latest Making the Turn giveaway winners. #PGATour #USOpen #Shinnecock #WyndhamClark #ScottyScheffler #SamBurns #TravelersChampionship #GolfPodcast #MakingTheTurn #GolfBetting #DraftKings #FantasyGolf #DFS #JordanSpieth #TommyFleetwood

    U.S. Open Preview | Best Plays and Fantasy

    Bud Cawley finally breaks through at the RBC Canadian Open — no wins in years of starts, a Friday 63, and a closing 65 to hold off Matt Fitzpatrick, Viktor Hovland, Jackson Suber, and a fading Wyndham Clark. Jordan and Toby break down the wildest break of the year (a tee shot that ricocheted off a cart path and saved Cawley two shots), recap Tommy Fleetwood and Sam Burns coming up just short, and look at what's next for the 36-year-old first-time winner. Then it's straight to Shinnecock Hills for the US Open. Jordan and Toby dig into the brutal 2018 scoring averages, the firm-and-fast fescue, and a forecast calling for 40-50 mph gusts that could bring Thursday's round to a standstill. The guys debate whether Scotty Scheffler's driver issues knock him out of career Grand Slam contention, make the case for Rory McIlroy thriving in chaos, and break down the LIV contingent — Bryson, Rahm, and a hobbled Brooks Koepka who may be a game-time decision. Jordan and Toby go deep on the field: JJ Spieth's putting yips heading into a title defense, Matt Fitzpatrick's course fit and ball-striking, a Dustin Johnson dark-horse case, and why Tyrrell Hatton's major record makes him impossible to ignore. Plus a full slate of matchup bets and top-20 picks across the leaderboard, a look back at the stacked 2018 Shinnecock leaderboard, and a big giveaway announcement — the guys are headed to Long Island and giving away a signed US Open hat. #PGATour #USOpen #Shinnecock #GolfPodcast #MakingTheTurn #RBCCanadianOpen #BudCawley #GolfBetting #DraftKings #FantasyGolf #DFS #BrooksKoepka #RoryMcIlroy #ScottyScheffler

    RBC Canadien Open Preview | Best Plays and Fantasy

    JT Poston delivers the performance of his life at Muirfield Village — zero top-20s on the year, then drops the second-best round of the PGA Tour season and wins his first signature event. Jordan and Toby break down one of the most stacked Sunday leaderboards of the year, debate whether Sam Burns handed this tournament away with two tree strikes on 11, and discuss why Ryan Gerard is quickly becoming one of the most exciting players on tour — including the moment he fired back at a heckler on 18 with the tee in hand. This week, Jordan and Toby introduce a brand new segment to the pod and dig into what Poston's win actually means — was this a true breakout or a one-week heater on a course that played brutally tough? The guys also look ahead to the RBC Canadian Open and the US Open at Shinnecock, and make the case for why Wyndham Clark is hitting it better than anyone on the planet right now. Jordan explains why Brooks Koepka in June heading into Shinnecock is must-watch television — and why Aldrich Potgieter might be the most interesting boom-or-bust play of the week. Then it's time to make the turn — full DFS fantasy golf picks and single-entry lineups for the RBC Canadian Open on DraftKings. From Tommy Fleetwood and Sam Burns anchoring Toby's card, to Jordan's low-ownership dart throw on Nikolai Højgaard and a Canadian wild card in AJ Ewart, the guys build their lineups live and tell you exactly who they're backing.Plus — big announcement: Jordan and Toby are going boots on the ground at Shinnecock for the US Open.
