It's our last episode of 2021, and we're wrapping up the year by discussing the four major championships scheduled for 2022, and who is going to win them. Xander? Rory? Spieth? Who knows, but one thing is for certain, Riley picked Rory to win the Masters. We also discuss our favorite golf related gifts, what to expect in 2022, and much more. Enjoy!
Team Woods entertained the entire golf world over the weekend, and it was truly insane to watch. Tiger Woods, despite a little fatigue, looked great. Swing was solid, short game was polished. Will he play on Tour again? Will he win again? The boys discuss. Charlie Woods was electric, and his swing is incredible. The Daly's took the title, and JD2 is a STUD. Nelly Korda might have the best swing in golf. And much, much more - Enjoy!
He's baaaaaack. Tiger Woods is playing golf on TV this weekend at the PNC Championship in Orlando, Florida with his son, Charlie. Just 10 months after his accident, Woods is returning to golf. The rest of the field is pretty damn good, too - Justin Thomas, Nelly Korda, and Bubba Watson just to name a few. Also, Andy picked the winner of the QBE Shootout. You're welcome. We cover a bunch more, enjoy.
Tiger Woods wouldn't stop pounding balls on the range at the Hero World Challenge. We loved every second of it. Viktor Hovland took home the trophy thanks to a collapse from Collin Morikawa. Riley hit his lock of the week. Love to see it. It's QBE Shootout week, and the guys have some locks for you. And a whole lot more. Enjoy.
Tiger Woods has broken his silence, and I do have to say, it was great to see him. He touched on playing on Tour again, what recovery was like, and a whole lot more. The Match was...boring. But that was expected. What can they do to make it better? What's the dream pairing? The boys discuss. The Tour is in the Bahamas this week for the Hero World Challenge and the field is stacked. The boys preview the tourney, and they give out their locks of the week.
There's a lot to cover this week, despite there being no PGA Tour event on the schedule. Tiger Woods dropped a 3-second swing video on Sunday morning and may have won the PIP with one tweet. Will he play soon? Talor Gooch, the one-week Riley didn't bet on him, won the RSM Classic. His worst round of the weekend? 67. Locked in.Collin Morikawa won again. We're not surprised. He chased down Rory McIlroy to win the DP World Tour Championship. Is he a HOFer already?Rory McIlroy tore his shirt open ou...
After Twilight 9 officially joined Golfweek earlier this week, it's time for our first interview - the first installment of a series to be named later. This month, Riley was joined by 12-time PGA Tour winner, two-time Masters champion, Bubba Watson. Watson sits down to talk about his recently released book 'Up and Down: Victories and Struggles in the course of life'. The Florida native battled mental demons for several years, and now he's here to tell his story in hopes of shedding more light on...
Jason Kokrak grabs his 3rd PGA Tour title, and second in Texas in 2021. He's officially entered the 'putting the PGA Tour on notice' category. Brooks Koepka didn't make it to the weekend, and is really struggling with his game. What's wrong? Can it quickly be fixed for next week's match with Bryson DeChambeau? It's RSM Classic week - Andy and Riley LOVE Russell Henley. Also, welcome Andy Nesbitt to the show!
Well, we have some stuff to discuss. Hovland defended at Mayakoba, the first player to do so in the 15 year history of the event. Oh, and he did it without his normal driver, which is a very funny story. Koepka, Finau, and friends are headed to Hosuton this week, and the field looks pretty damn good. We were +430 on bets last week in Mexico, so let's keep that going. And, we have a pretty exciting about a certain 2-time Masters champ coming on the show next week. Enjoy....
Not much Bermuda talk this week. We do, however, dive into the Saudi Golf League reports, and what that means for the world of golf. It's complicated. There's a solid, solid field this week in Mayakoba, where Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka lead the way. Complete betting card, plus some guys to target to win. Email RHamel@golfweek.com with any questions for the show, or DM on IG.
What's up everybody? Very quiet week in golf. Hideki won in front of his hometown fans which was awesome, we touch on the week in Japan. I had an "I'm back" moment at the range last week, and I share a swing tip for your transition that really helped me out. We're back to the island of Bermuda this week, with a very, VERY, weak field. Enjoy.
Well, he's back. I mean, he's BACK. Rory had his bounce-step working in Vegas, and I knew he was winning pretty early in the round Sunday, even though we couldn't watch it....(don't worry, we spend some time talking about the coverage) It was great to see Rickie Fowler back in contention. Golf is a better sport when he's playing well. ZOZO week. Not as good as a field we had back in 2019, but we'll take it. Enjoy!
Busy week in golf. Sungjae gets win No. 2 at the Shriners. The dude can make birdies in bunches, and we saw that after a final round of 62. Lefty should be kicked off the Champions Tour. He's made 4 starts against the old guys - he's won 3 of them. Unreal. Jin Young Ko is on a heater. She's won 3 of her last 6 starts. CJ Cup field is loaded. It's also in Vegas. Should be a fun week.
Folks, busy week in golf. JT and his caddie Jimmy Johnson call it quits after 6 years, along with Bubba Watson and his caddie, Ted Scott, splitting up. Bones takes over for JT, who picks up Bubba's bag? Bryson DeChambeau finished in the Top 10 at his long drive competition, and it was insane. Sam Burns wins the Sanderson Farms, the tournament where he made his pro debut. Shriners preview with key stats, data golf info, and all that good stuff. Enjoy....
What a week in Wisconsin, and lots to go over. Brooks/Bryson DJ Rory JT Scottie Rahm and a whole lot more. Plus, we cover this week's PGA Tour event, the Sanderson Farms Championship. The field is maybe the worst I've ever seen, but that doesn't mean we can't win some money. Enjoy, folks.
It's finally time for the Ryder Cup. 3 years after getting our asses kicked by Europe in Paris, it's time to get revenge. We dive into the teams, potentially pairings, Whistling Straits, and much, much more. Also, Max won again! His 2nd win in his last 18 starts. We recap the Fortinet, where 2 of our players to watch from last week ended the week 1st and 2nd. We'll take that. Enjoy the golf this weekend, folks!
Well, after a week, the PGA Tour is back. The Safeway Open is no more, in steps the Fortinet. Napa, CA, wine country. Pat Perez might just mess around and win this thing. The Ryder Cup teams are now official, and I have to say, the U.S. team is absolutely loaded. I mean, how do we lose? (Important to note: I said that when we went and got our asses kicked in France a few years ago). Patrick Reed is at it again, liking tweets that were directed right at Stricker for not picking him for the squad....
I mean, how good was that Solheim Cup? I didn't watch a second of the Tour Championship once the girls teed off, and man am I happy about that decision. Those ladies put on an absolute show, and that was probably the most fun I've had watching golf for a LONG time. The Tour Championship (I heard) was okay. Cantlay is $15 million richer so that's cool. Who's the player of the year on Tour? I think the answer is very obvious and people are just over-thinking it. Lastly, I try to predict who's goin...
What a tournament! Maybe the best tourney of the year! Full BMW preview. Ryder Cup team taking shape. TOUR Championship preview. And much, much more
TONYYY!!! He did it. Finally. After nearly 2,000 days, Finau is yet again a winner on the PGA Tour. Will this open the flood gates? Major next? We discuss everything about this win. Then we talk about the BMW this week. Never before seen course, with limited time to prepare, should make for an interesting week. Betting preview at the end.
What a week for Kiz! He was stepping through iron shots, rolling the rock, and gets it done! We talk a bit about the Wyndham, but we really focus on whether or not Kisner should be on the Ryder Cup team. Then, it's time to talk playoffs. Northern Trust this week, and I can't wait to be back at Liberty National.
Ancer finally grabs his first win on Tour! It was a long time coming, the kid is a stud, and it happened the one week where I didn't put him on the card. Seriously, you guys probably got sick and tired of betting on him because of me. Well, this is what I get. We talk about Harris, and how awkward that was to watch. We talk about Bryson, which was tough to do if I'm gonna be honest. We talk about Rory. Man, he was striking the hell outta the golf ball. He's back. Korda won the Gold. Duh. And we ...
What a week for golf. Xander Schauffele finished off the biggest win of his golf career and brought home the gold medal for the USA. We discuss the entire week, and whether or not they should change the format of the tourney. We then move on to Memphis where one of the strongest fields of the year are ready to battle for the 3rd WGC title of 2021. Lastly, all the betting info you need to make some money this week - and I give you some guys to watch out for come this weekend. Enjoy the show!...
Busy week in golf... Bryson and Jon Rahm have been forced to WD from the Olympics due to positive COVID-19 tests. This is the second time Rahm has tested positive, and we talk about how much that sucks. Cameron Champ is your - nope not gonna do it - at the 3M Open. He made it interesting down 18, but stuffed it from 127 to earn his 3rd PGA Tour win. And, of course, it's time for the Olympics! The USA team is stacked, and it should be a great tourney! Betting wise last week, we were up 3.45 units...
What a week across the pond. Collin Morikawa was unreal, and his iron play was unfair to be completely honest. We recap the entire week, including what to think of Rors. After that, we dive into the 3M Open, home of Matty Wolff's first PGA Tour win back in 2019. To finish it off, our betting preview is packed, and we include some guys you should definitely target this weekend. Enjoy!
This week on the show... A very quick recap of the JDC. For a smaller tournament, it produced a great weekend! Lucas Glover grabbed his first PGA Tour win in 10 years! We quickly cover the Scottish Open, some headlines, and the WDs from the Open. And we spend the majority of the show getting ready for the Open. It's my second favorite week of the year, so I have a lot to cover. We end with some guys to look for this week! Enjoy the show, and enjoy the Open!...
I mean, this week is gonna be a tough watch on Tour. The John Deere might have the weakest field I've ever seen at a PGA Tour event. I'm not gonna be watching, but that doesn't mean we can't win some money. The Scottish Open on the other hand, is gonna be sick. The field looks incredible, and I can't wait to watch some links golf again. And, it's almost time for the Open... Oh, and we recap the Rocket Mortgage and Cam Davis' win. Let's jump into it......
Busy week in golf! Harris English grabbed his second win of 2021, and it only took 8 playoff holes to get it done. The Korda sisters continue to dominate women's golf, and Nelly just became a major champion. I was on site Sunday at the Travelers, and TPC River Highlands was very impressive. And this week, we're back in Detroit for the Rocket Mortgage!
What. A. Week. Jon Rahm is a major champion, and to be honest, it's overdue. The kid is a stud, and everything pointed to him winning this week. It was incredible to watch. We recap Sunday, and the incredible leaderboard we were spoiled with. We talk about Rory, and how his week will benefit his future. We recap our bets, and man did we have a huge week. And finally, we get to our Traveler's Championship preview. I love this tournament, and can't wait for this weekend....
At the top of the show, I have a few things to go over T9 wise, like new videos coming out, scheduling, etc. Then we get into a Palmetto recap, but don't worry, we didn't spend too much time on it. After that, it's US Open time baby. 3rd major championship of 2021, and it's gonna be a beast. Make sure to subscribe to the show, to the T9 YouTube, and follow us on IG!
