Episode Notes

Gary Williams hosts a two-hour edition of 5 Clubs as the PGA TOUR heads to Bay Hill for the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Webb Simpson, 2018 PLAYERS Champion and U.S. Open winner, joins in studio to discuss the evolution of TPC Sawgrass, the challenges of competing as a part-time player, and what makes the Arnold Palmer Invitational such a demanding test. Two-time PGA TOUR winner Akshay Bhatia also stops by to share thoughts on his early-season form and the key stretch of events beginning at Bay Hill.

Brendon de Jonge breaks down Scottie Scheffler’s recent starts, Rory McIlroy’s strong West Coast swing, and which rising young players could make a move during Florida’s biggest weeks. Sports Business Journal’s Josh Carpenter adds insight on PGA TOUR scheduling discussions, potential structural changes ahead, media rights trends, and the growing business landscape around signature events and major championships.

With Bay Hill setting the stage for one of the premier events of the season, this episode covers competitive storylines, the business of the game, and the momentum building toward THE PLAYERS Championship and beyond.

5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (Channel 92).
