Fore Play

We breakdown the true motives behind the Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus relationship, delve deeper into the Chambers Bay trip, weigh in on Hank Haney's women's golf comments, and much more!

We toured golf in the pacific northwest, including two rounds at Chambers Bay, and lived to talk about it. We recap the entire trip, from playing Kevin Chappell's home course Aldarra with him to battling Chambers Bay and taking it DEEP at the Tacoma bars afterwards. Plus, we're joined by Dave Portnoy himself to get his side of the story on the 2019 mulligan challenge at Pebble Beach just weeks before the 2019 U.S. Open!

Live from Pebble Beach, we breakdown the 2019 mulligan challenge and the Fore Play crew taking a spin around Pebble Beach just weeks before the U.S. Open. Then golf legends Nancy Lopez and Dave Stockton join the show to tell stories, talk putting, and much more!

We weigh in on Brooks Koepka's fourth major title and recap our entire week being credentialed and inside the ropes at Bethpage. From meeting Spieth, to fist pounding Brooks, to being in Tiger's camp and beyond, we relive and retell it all. A PGA Championship we'll never forget!

Sir Nick Faldo joins the show (51:34) over a glass of scotch at Borrelli's. We talk winning majors, doing impressions, and covering golf alongside Jim Nantz. The crew also recaps our first 3 days at the PGA Championship… and Bryson jumps in mid-show (~41:20) to breakdown Frankie's chipping lesson.

Brooks Koepka joins the show (~49:43) to talk defending the Wanamaker Trophy, his recent outspokenness, battling against Tiger at the last two major championships, and much more. Also, the crew is live from Bethpage Black for the 101st PGA Championship. We discuss our first day onsite including running into Bryson and the PGA of America's nod to Frankie!

1999 British Open champ Paul Lawrie joins the show to talk taking down Jean van de Velde at Carnoustie after Jean's epic collapse, life on the Champions Tour, and Scottish golf. In inner-show chatter, we dive into more Bethpage talk including Tiger showing up to the Black today. In From The Gallery, we debate when and where it's okay to chirp the group in front of you!

John Daly and Fuzzy Zoeller join the show (~30:00) together for one of our most epic interviews. This one we deem a must-listen!

With the PGA Championship and US Open on the horizon, we talk about our upcoming plans for both tournaments as well as some upcoming interviews we have planned.  Also, we preview round three of Tiger, Molinari, and Koepka at the PGA, debate whether or not Bethpage really is the best deal in all of golf, and there is a shocking amount of Senior Tour talk!!!

2016 PGA Championship winner Jimmy Walker joins the show live from Bethpage and tells an INCREDIBLE Tiger Woods story (~1:10:10). Also, the whole crew spent the weekend at Bethpage, playing a round on the final weekend the Black is open to the public before the upcoming PGA. We relive the experience, including a nerve-racking first tee, Trent Daddy's on-course attitude, and discuss the stunning condition of the Black!

A family actually tried to swindle Augusta National by reselling tickets. What a bunch of idiots. We take a bunch of From The Galleries and discuss Michelle Wie, if Sergio's actually happy for Tiger, and a former MLB'er claiming he played 420 holes in 24 hours!

Tiger rolls into his restaurant rocking gym shorts and his green jacket and we roll into week two of the new post-Tiger's 5th green jacket world full steam ahead. It's a throwback to our roots as we first rip through headlines — DJ collapses, Spieth remains puzzling, Kiz stops streaking — then debate several From The Galleries: would you rather play mini golf with Tiger Woods or play Augusta National alone; what do you think is the updated value of Tiger's Scotty Cameron putter???

We take calls from listeners who were at Augusta National on Sunday, including our good friend Kyle Rudolph of the Minnesota Vikings. We hear all about how loud it was on 16, how the crowds reacted when scoreboards were updated, what the Augusta security guard community had to deal with, learn of conversations over shots between Tiger and Joey, and much more. It's Behind The Greens 5: Where were you when Tiger won his 5th green jacket???

Tiger Woods just won the Masters! We talk about it.

Questions from Augusta. Is Jack Nicklaus fucking with Tiger with his “easiest 64 ever” comments? Is Phil trolling everyone with hundreds hanging out of his pockets on the range at Augusta? Has there ever been a bigger week for Mr. Notahfications? Is Augusta putting the USGA and R&A on the hot seat with their distance comments? Are the Reeds the Kardashians of golf? Is Brooks Koepka undergoing the biggest self-sabotage in sports history, as Brandel says? We also got Lurch's Masters Takes and some From The Galleries, like: If you could play Augusta with 3 other living people, who would you choose and why???

The best week of the year is upon us — it's Masters Week. We talk through who we like and don't like in the field, how majestic Tiger looks early in the week, and relive a few past Masters moments. Oh and we recount Bryson burying Frankie yet again, this time for his chipping woes in Minneapolis!

We're still REELING from the Jake Owen interview as we take phone calls on Augusta Stories: Behind The Greens 4. We've got patron encounters with green-jacketed fellas, employees in the trophy room, and tales involving Freddie Couples, Bubba, Tiger, Gary Player and more. The callers always bring it!!!

Country music star and golf guy Jake Owen joins the show and delivers ALL TIME stories (~38:42). He's got must-hear tales involving Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth, Wayne Gretzky, Bryson DeChambeau, Sergio Garcia, Kevin Kisner and more. You simply have to hear this show. And of course we discuss Kisner's breakthrough win, Tiger beating Rory, and Sergio/Kuchar continuing their flawless 2019 public relations tour!

We breakdown the first day of the match play and answer a bunch of questions From The Gallery. Should Tiger bic his hair? Who would win between Krista Glover and Justine Reed in a steel cage match? Would you rather win 1 Masters or 5 PGA Championships? Albatross or hole in one? Also, Frankie requests a What's Up Doc!

Honda Classic winner Keith Mitchell joins the show for the first time (~41:17). Keith relives beating Rickie and Brooks down the stretch, his fishing habits (ie: drinking near water), and how he's prepping for his Masters debut. Before Keith joins, we react to being spot on about Justine Reed, Kiz keeping his incredible T2-something streak alive, and the Match Play groupings (Tiger must win).
