Doug Ghim’s Fall Surge, Roberto Castro’s New Omni Role & Why Venues Matter | 5 Clubs

Gary Williams opens with a Gordon Gekko line and a warning for the PGA Tour: greed may pay off now, but losing historic venues like Colonial Country Club will cost the game long term. On the Tour, the venue is the market. Gary also explains why Dustin Johnson, the honest one on the way out, will likely be welcomed back, probably in 2028 rather than 2027.

Doug Ghim joins from Austin, Texas, where he played his college golf. He went from 101st in the FedExCup in late July to 58th, now in line for Signature Series starts in 2027. He talks about controlling the controllables, why “consistency” is overrated, how he reads strokes gained, and what he learned from Scottie Scheffler and his Texas teammates.

Roberto Castro, now Vice President of the Omni Golf Collection, describes the stress of chasing your card in the fall compared with contending on a Sunday. He shares his early read on Jackson Koivun, Ben James and Blades Brown, explains his new role with Omni, looks ahead to PGA Frisco hosting a men’s major, and says what the fall schedule needs to be compelling.

Plus Dogs of the Week and a salute to the veterans of the Simpson Cup.

5 Clubs with Gary Williams airs weekdays on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, Channel 92.
