Episode 189: CJ Cup Shootout & USA Ryder Cup Madness

About this episode

The episode discusses Wyndham Clark's victory at the CJ Cup and the ongoing issues with Ryder Cup captain selections.

Wyndham Clark won a shootout at TPC Craig Ranch to win the 2026 CJ Cup championship. For the second straight year, the tournament winner got to -30, even after architect Lanny Wadkins guaranteed that his renovation would prevent that. We will talk all about the course be incredibly easy, to the resurgent play of Clark, who had been struggling the last few seasons on tour. We will also get into the play of Scottie Scheffler, Blades Brown, Jordan Spieth and others. This week, the PGA of America apparently learned nothing and named Keegan Bradley assistant captain for the 2027 Ryder Cup. Why do we keep going with the same captains and assistant captains over and over again? We will try to make sense of this and the Furyk pick for captain.
