Episode notes

Major golf is here, Tiger Woods is on the links, all is right in the golf world. We start off with an in-depth breakdown of Tiger Woods and our expectations for Big Cat this week (2:05). Another major storyline this week is a myriad of stars entering in less than stellar form. Rory McIlroy hasn’t been great since the restart, Jon Rahm didn’t look great at WGC-FedEx St. Jude. Are these guys sneaky picks for the year’s first major championship (19:31)? Brooks Koepka is looking to three-peat at the PGA Championship. He is the co-favorite to win this week along with Justin Thomas. Are we falling into the trap yet again of ignoring the most dominant major player over the past two years (37:32)? Bryson DeChambeau enters with far more eyeballs that he usually carries into a major weekend. He’s never finished in the top 10 at a major championship. Is this the week that will change that (41:31)? After the break we’re going into our favorite betting picks with matchups (46:00), sleepers (55:11) and picks to win (57:26). We also touch base on our One and Done leans (58:31) and our best bets (60:10) for the 2020 PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park.
