Future Player of the Year winner Brendon Todd is pulling his Todd Father antics again. How many strokes does he need heading into Sunday in order to win (8:32)? Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau have kept the golf world entertained with all kinds of Thursday shenanigans. Brooks is one shot off the lead and not so subtly jabbed at Beefy Bryson. Bryson broke his driver shaft en route to shooting 68. How will the golf world react the day they finally get paired together (14:46)? Tiger Woods carded a cool 68 this morning. It wasn’t all pretty but he’s under par after 18 holes in the book. Are we feeling bullish on Big Cat (26:44)?

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).

What lead to his magnificent victory at TPC Southwind (6:18)? Brooks Koepka’s title defense ended with a runner-up finish. That’s pretty darn good considering his recent run of poor performances.

We’ve got a quick hitting round 2 recap podcast for you today! Brendon Todd is the 36-hole leader at TPC Southwind, why were we sleeping on the “Todd Father” and does he have the ability to sustain this success over the weekend (0:51)? Rickie Fowler’s campaign continued today. Is it possible we’ll see him hoist the Gary Player Cup on Sunday (6:58)? Brooks Koepka started the day in the lead after Thursday’s 62.

Round one is in the books at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational! Brooks Koepka is your leader after posting a 62, matching his career-low on Tour. Is this further proof of the ‘Brooks only cares about big events/majors theory’ (1:20)? Rickie Fowler stood out on Thursday with an opening round 64. Considering his recent swing changes and tinkering, is this a sign of more improvements to come (8:53)? Bryson DeChambeau unsurprisingly found a way to entertain the golf world by requesting a free drop off a supposed animal burrowing hole. Watch the clip and chuckle as we breakdown his first round (15:32). After the break we wrap with players to eye for tomorrow’s second round which starts early due to inclement weather in the area (21:18). ————————— 'First Cut' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

Michael Thompson is your 3M Open champion after an impressive 4-under 67 performance on Sunday. His second career PGA Tour victory didn’t come without hard work and sweat. Just how life changing is a win like this for a guy like Michael Thompson (0:57)? Adam Long finished solo second to earn a spot in the 2020 U.S. Open at Winged Foot. That’s pretty darn good considering he made the cut on the number, going 16-under over the weekend (14:12). Tony Finau finished T3 along with 8 other players.

Michael Thompson and notable sleeper Richy Werenski sit atop the leaderboard after 36 holes of play at the 3M Open. Greg DuCharme hosts as Mark Immelman joins the pod to breakdown all of Friday’s action and lookahead to tomorrow. We start by looking at the leaders, Do Michael Thompson and Richy Werenski have any staying power (1:19)? Tony Finau and Matthew Wolff are the most recognizable names at the top. What’s been the secret to Tony’s success this week (9:21). Matthew Wolff is surprisingly in a good position to defend his 3M Open title. Our pod crew regrets their error in sleeping on him (14:53). Brooks Koepka’s knee looked to be bothering him again today. What’s the confidence level in him as he defends two titles over the next two weeks (19:30). After the break we chat about Tiger’s decision to not play the WGC FedEx St Jude Invitational. Are we concerned about Big Cat?

The First Cut is back to recap the first round of the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities. Greg starts the show with a little gloating as his sleeper, Richy Werenski, sits atop the leaderboard (1:29). Tony Finau had a great day after an awful weekend at the Memorial. Was his split with longtime caddie Greg Bodine and putting Boyd Summerhays on the bag a smart move (7:18)? Dustin Johnson stole the afternoon headlines when he withdrew with a back injury after a 7-over performance. He’s 23-over through his last 54 holes of PGA Tour competition. How concerned are we for Dustin as we head into the “Championship Stretch” (13:30)?

The 3M Open may have a weaker field than what we've been treated to since golf returned, but fret not First Cut fans as we still have a great preview podcast lined up. Rick Gehman and Kyle Porter tag team today's podcast looking at the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities. Brooks Koepka's knee will be under a microscope this week after he revealed last week that issues were still lingering there. Is this a time to fade the most dominant major player over the past three years (0:58)? We also look at another PGA Tour superstar that is coming off a poor performance. How much confidence do we have in Dustin Johnson after his abysmal 80-80 performance last week at the Memorial (10:59).

The planet has a new number one golfer. Jon Rahm has become the 3rd youngest player and 2nd Spaniard ever to reach no. 1 in the world. We dive into his historic victory at the Memorial and ruminate on how long he can keep the title (2:40). Ryan Palmer finished solo 2nd to earn a spot into the U.S. Open at Winged foot. He’ll be making his first appearance at the USGA’s premier event since 2017 (21:10). Matthew Fitzpatrick earned round of the day honors with a stellar 68 on Sunday at a blistery Muirfield Village. What big things can we expect moving forward from the young Englishman (24:43)? Warning to all Tony Finau lovers, this podcast contains lamenting about his abysmal weekend performance. Is he deserving of the title “Utah Rickie” (28:49)? After the break we dive into obligatory Tiger Woods takes, when can we expect to see the Big Cat next (37:15)?

Muirfield Village has claimed many victims over its nearly 50 year history, Jon Rahm was not one of them today. The Spaniard’s spectacular back nine catapulted him into a 4 shot lead heading into Sunday. What was clicking for Rahmbo and how can claim the title of no. 1 in the world for the first time in his career (2:00)? Tony Finau’s lead was derailed after shooting 2-over on the back nine. He now sits four shots off the lead with 18 holes left to play. Does Tony have any shot of winning tomorrow (12:25)? Ryan Palmer and Jon Rahm teamed up together last year to win the Zurich Classic. After a 1-over performance today he sits T2 behind his former teammate. Can Palmer close out and defeat Rahm (17:20)? Tiger Woods looked much better today than he did yesterday. His 1-under round wasn’t too shabby compared to the high numbers that lurked around every corner on moving day (23:50). We wrap with our picks heading into Sunday, is Jon Rahm a lock to win or can we find value in Finau or Palmer (35:41)? ————————— Want to win $1,000 without putting any of your own cash at stake?

Today’s second round felt like a marathon, between Big Cat on the cut line and Bryson blowing up we had enough pod content for a whole week! Let’s get you caught up on all the happenings at the Memorial. Tony Finau and Ryan Palmer are your 36-hole co-leaders at the Memorial. Are we buying Tony’s staying power, can he finally breakthrough and get over that Puerto Rico Open Curse (0:30)? We also dive into Rick’s extremely bold take that “Ryan Palmer is low-key good(5:05).” Rounding out the podium positions is Jon Rahm, is Rahmbo poised to make a big move this weekend sitting only a single shot off the lead (9:30)? Tiger Woods will play this weekend at Muirfield Village, but that made cut didn’t come without a sweat. Are we pressing the panic button on Big Cat heading into Saturday (14:40)? Bryson DeChambeau made headlines again on Friday, but this time it wasn’t for a gargantuan drive. We breakdown his historic 10 on the par-5 15th hole at Muirfield Village (23:15).

This ain’t the Workday Charity Open. PGA Tour pros battled a hellacious Muirfield Village in blustery conditions today. The course proved to be a true challenge, with average scores being over a stroke higher than they were at last week’s Workday Charity Open (1:36). Tony Finau holds the lead after an astonishing first round 66. The flat-stick was hot for Tony today as he gained nearly 4.5 strokes putting. Is this type of performance sustainable through the weekend (3:55)? Tiger Woods was the center of the golf universe today. How are our analysts grading his first round performance at the Memorial (10:50)?

Tiger freaking Woods is back and we’re previewing his return to golf at this week’s Memorial tournament. Dog Bell joins Rick Gehman, Kyle Porter, Mark Immelman and Greg DuCharme on today’s episode of The First Cut Podcast. We start out with general fawning over just how stacked this field is. This week’s tournament will look a lot like a major with both the field and the venue (1:30). Of course the headline of the week is the one and only Tiger Woods. Big Cat is making his first PGA Tour start since the Genesis Invitational where he looked stiff and finished last among those who made the cut. What does Tiger need to do in order to win this week (16:00)? Rory McIlroy will play with Cat on Thursday and Friday. The current world no. 1 hasn’t looked like his pre-hiatus self since golf returned to action. Is this the week that McIlroy turn his prospects around (22:00)? Did the PGA Tour miss an opportunity by not pairing Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka together in Thursday/Friday featured group coverage? The beefy duo has been exchanging shots since last year’s TOUR Championship. Who do we have more confidence in at Muirfield Village (24:04)? Patrick Cantlay’s value is stellar this week as a 16/1 defending champion. His recent form is looking sharp, is it worth laying a wager on the world’s 10th ranked player (31:05)? After the break we take a look at the betting board.

Friend of the pod Collin Morikawa is your leader after 18 holes of the Workday Charity Open. We’ve got Greg DuCharme and Mark Immelman on the podcast to breakdown what clicked today for the young phenom (0:51). Someone that spent time social distancing behind the pack was Brooks Koepka. The four-time major champion did major damage control by posting a Toal score of 74 after shooting 41 on his first nine. Does Brooks have any hope to make the cut (6:40)? Phil Mickelson stole the afternoon spotlight. Lefty was seemingly on his was to be well clear of the cut after posting a 32 on the front. That was all erased when he came into the clubhouse with a 41 on his second nine. What does Phil need to do in order to make the weekend (10:03)? After the ad break we chat about Big Cat’s announcement today that he will be playing in the Memorial next week. What kind of rust, if any, can we expect to see from Tiger Woods (17:15)?
