About this episode

The episode discusses The Open Championship, predictions, and the rise of YouTube golf.

We make our official picks to win The Open, debate whether Viktor Hovland is officially back, and reveal our favorite dark horses—including Cam Smith, Patrick Reed, Matt Fitzpatrick, Cam Young, Collin Morikawa and Max Homa. The guys also dive into the rapid rise of YouTube golf, Grant Horvat’s new golf tour, the business behind brands like Takomo and L.A.B.
