Episode Notes

In this episode, we take a look at the Captain's Picks that have rounded out the European Ryder Cup team—and what those selections mean for the squad and the competition as a whole, especially when it comes to potential matchups at Bethpage Black later this month.

We also dig into a new made-for-broadcast golf challenge event featuring Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy. What’s the unique format? Do we like it? What would we change? And could this concept work for an amateur competition at the local level?

Lastly, with the Walker Cup, Ryder Cup, and PING Challenge Cup all taking place in the coming weeks, we discuss what makes a golf course well-suited for match play. What characteristics set the best ones apart?
