LIV Golf’s future may now rest in the hands of one player… but does LIV need him, more than he needs them? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the latest LIV Golf news as the league fights for survival and Bryson DeChambeau emerges as potentially the most important player in LIV Golf 2.0’s future. With reports of just 15 tentative player commitments, a proposed $300 million investment from BC Partners, and another looming deadline, can LIV Golf survive without some of its biggest stars? We discuss the departures of Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, and Ian Poulter, along with Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson’s involvement in a reported $100 million dispute with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). Plus, shocking LIV Golf bankruptcy filings reveal $15.6 million in executive retention payments, raising questions about the league’s financial management. Finally, we uncover the surprising story of PGA Tour star Cameron Young, who reportedly signed a letter agreement to join LIV Golf in 2022 before ultimately staying on the PGA Tour. Did Cameron Young dodge a bullet, or did he potentially leave millions on the table? We debate the financial rewards versus career legacy, what LIV Golf’s collapse could mean for professional golf, and whether Bryson DeChambeau holds the keys to LIV’s future.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

LIV Golf is losing its biggest stars, and a bombshell decision from the DP World Tour could be the final nail in the coffin. In this episode of The Golf Podcast we dive into the breaking news that could signal the beginning of the end for LIV Golf. With the DP World Tour announcing that players must choose between maintaining their membership and competing in LIV Golf 2.0, the future of the controversial golf league is suddenly looking more uncertain than ever. The decision carries major Ryder Cup implications and comes as several high-profile players appear ready to walk away from LIV Golf. We break down Jon Rahm’s decision to leave LIV Golf, what it means for his future on the PGA Tour, and why the DP World Tour may have chosen this moment to draw a hard line. With names like Brooks Koepka, Patrick Reed, Sergio Garcia, and Abraham Ancer already departing, and questions surrounding Joaquin Niemann, Tyrrell Hatton, Cameron Smith, and Bryson DeChambeau, can LIV Golf survive without its biggest stars? Plus, we examine LIV Golf’s bankruptcy proceedings, its proposed restructuring, and whether LIV Golf 2.0 has any realistic chance of launching in 2027.

J.J. Spaun just made his Presidents Cup snub a lot more interesting — but did Team USA actually make the wrong call? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we preview the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club and break down the biggest storylines surrounding Team USA and the International Team. We start with the debate over J.J. Spaun being left off the U.S. roster after his big BMW PGA Championship win and compare his season with captain’s pick Jacob Bridgeman, who enters the Presidents Cup fresh off a victory of his own. Was Brandt Snedeker’s decision the right one, or did Team USA leave one of golf’s hottest players at home? We also discuss Scottie Scheffler, Jackson Koivun, Chris Gotterup, Justin Thomas, Adam Scott, Tom Kim, Si Woo Kim and the players who could become breakout stars at Medinah. Plus, we look at whether the Presidents Cup’s lopsided history has hurt what is actually one of golf’s most entertaining team competitions and how the event could impact Team USA heading toward the next Ryder Cup. Finally, we play Buy or Sell with our Presidents Cup predictions, including Scheffler’s potential point total, Koivun’s breakout chances, Adam Scott’s pursuit of his first Presidents Cup victory, and whether the International Team can finally pull off the upset.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

LIV Golf has officially filed for bankruptcy—so what happens to the players, their massive contracts, and the future of the league? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down LIV Golf’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and what it could mean for the future of the controversial golf league. The filing has revealed new details about LIV Golf’s financial situation, including reported liabilities, remaining cash, money allegedly owed to top players, and the proposed restructuring plan that could determine whether the league survives into 2027. We discuss what happens to existing player contracts, why golfers like Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith, and Tyrrell Hatton could face major decisions, and how LIV’s proposed new ownership model would give players significant equity in the league. We also examine the reported $300 million investment proposal from BC Partners and the tight deadline LIV faces to secure enough player support to emerge from bankruptcy. Finally, we revisit Greg Norman’s recent comments about LIV Golf’s biggest strategic mistake, including his belief that the league became too focused on the United States, and debate the larger question: how did a golf league backed by billions of dollars in funding ultimately end up in bankruptcy?   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

We dug up 17 different ways to play private golf clubs without being a member — and some of them might surprise you. In this episode of The Golf Podcast we reveal 17 ways to play private golf clubs without being a member, including some strategies you may have never considered. Every golfer has a bucket-list course they’d love to experience, but getting access to exclusive private golf clubs can seem nearly impossible. We break down everything from the obvious routes—like receiving a member invitation, playing in charity golf outings, and entering tournaments—to lesser-known strategies such as writing directly to a club, leveraging relationships with golf professionals, joining golf societies, becoming a course rater, exploring reciprocal club privileges, and finding stay-and-play exceptions. We also share stories from our own experiences gaining access to some of the most exclusive golf courses in America and explain why networking, being respectful, and simply asking can sometimes open unexpected doors. Whether you’re hoping to play a prestigious local country club or dreaming about checking one of America’s top private golf courses off your bucket list, these tips can help you find opportunities you didn’t know existed. Plus, we discuss which strategies actually work, which ones require some luck, and a few approaches we’d recommend using with caution.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

LIV Golf just pulled off a stunning comeback—but is this really a new beginning or just buying more time? In this episode of The Golf Podcast, we react in real time to one of the biggest twists in professional golf as LIV Golf appears to secure the massive investment needed to survive into 2027 and beyond. Just days after reports suggested the league was on the verge of bankruptcy, Scott O’Neill announced that a lead investor has signed on, with additional investors reportedly interested in supporting LIV’s future. We break down what this means for LIV Golf 2.0, including the rumored $250–300 million investment, a reduced 10-event schedule, player equity ownership, potential roster changes, and how stars like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm could fit into the league’s long-term plans. We also discuss whether the 2026 season finale in Michigan is still in jeopardy, what this restructuring means for LIV’s financial future, and whether a new relationship with the PGA Tour is now possible. Is this the comeback that saves LIV Golf, or simply a temporary lifeline before even bigger challenges arrive?

LIV Golf may be filing for bankruptcy—but could a $250 million investment save the league before it’s too late? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the biggest and most confusing LIV Golf story yet as reports emerge that the league is preparing for a potential bankruptcy filing while, at the very same time, other reports claim LIV has secured up to $250 million in new investment to keep the league alive. We unpack what these seemingly contradictory headlines really mean, why bankruptcy doesn’t necessarily signal the end of LIV Golf, and how a restructuring could pave the way for a dramatically different LIV Golf 2.0 built around player equity and outside investors. We also discuss what this could mean for stars like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, whether players would choose ownership over guaranteed contracts, and if the league can realistically survive with a leaner schedule and reduced purses. Plus, we revisit the mystery surrounding LIV’s Michigan Team Championship after reports of its cancellation stalled without an official announcement, and debate whether a last-minute funding deal could change everything. Is LIV Golf truly on the verge of collapse, or is this simply the next chapter in its evolution? Join us as we separate fact from speculation and examine what could be the most pivotal moment in LIV Golf’s short but turbulent history.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

LIV Golf’s season finale may be on the brink of cancellation—and its reported survival plan could completely reshape the league. In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the latest signs that LIV Golf may be nearing a major turning point, including reports that its 2026 Team Championship in Michigan could be cancelled. With the event only weeks away and no grandstands, hospitality areas, concert stage, or other major tournament infrastructure in place, we examine why the season finale now appears highly unlikely to happen. We also discuss Martin Kaymer’s claim that the Michigan event has only a five percent chance of being played, along with questions surrounding the future of the Indianapolis event. From there, we explore another major setback for LIV Golf: the Asian Tour’s new partnership with the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, which could weaken LIV’s promotion, relegation, and world ranking pathways. We then analyze LIV Golf’s reported survival plan for 2027, including fewer tournaments, smaller purses, reduced payouts, and increased equity opportunities for star players. Finally, we play Buy or Sell and debate whether LIV Golf will survive, whether the PGA Tour is stronger because of LIV, whether players matter more than tours, whether LIV golfers should be welcomed back without penalties, and whether team golf still has a future in the professional game.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

The warning signs are piling up for LIV Golf—but is the league really finished, or is there still a path forward? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the latest trouble surrounding LIV Golf, including a new $1 million lawsuit alleging unpaid licensing and usage fees, Jon Rahm’s noncommittal response when asked whether he expects to play for LIV in 2027, and the growing questions about the league’s long-term future. With LIV returning after a nearly two-month hiatus, we discuss whether these developments could represent the final nail in the coffin—or whether the league can still secure the investment and sponsorship needed to survive. We also examine LIV Golf’s lasting impact on professional golf, from larger PGA Tour purses and greater player influence to schedule changes, international expansion, and the continued debate over team golf. Then we play “Win or Lose” to determine how LIV’s disruption has affected LIV players, PGA Tour stars, the PGA Tour itself, golf fans, major championships, and tournament sponsors. Plus, we revisit Bryson DeChambeau’s controversial two-stroke penalty at The Open, his public response to the ruling, and whether the incident risks undoing the image transformation he has built through recent success and his popular YouTube channel. Was the penalty justified, did Bryson handle it poorly, and will LIV Golf still exist in 2027? We debate it all.   Listen to This Week's Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week's Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.
