As the golf season winds down, we break it all down from Q-School to the biggest storylines shaping the game heading into 2026.

We start with a strong showing from Canadians at Q-School, as A.J. Ewart and Adam Svensson earn PGA TOUR cards, while Ben Silverman narrowly misses out in a dramatic playoff. From there, we recap the Grant Thornton Invitational, where Lauren Coughlin and Andrew Novak take the title, and Brooke Henderson and Corey Conners continue their impressive chemistry with another top-five finish.

Looking back at the major themes of 2025, we cover Scottie Scheffler’s dominant year, Rory McIlroy completing the career Grand Slam, Bryson DeChambeau’s standout major performances and continued influence through YouTube, and milestone victories for Canada’s Nick Taylor. We also discuss what it means to have seven Canadians set for the PGA TOUR in 2026.

On the women’s side, we dive into a historic year of parity on the LPGA Tour, highlighted by Jeeno Thitikul’s record-breaking season, Brooke Henderson’s return to the winner’s circle, and breakout performances from Canadian youngsters including Anna Huang.

Plus: Tiger Woods’ road ahead as he approaches 50, the ongoing PGA TOUR–LIV saga, and what changes are coming in 2026.

On the Back Nine, we look ahead to expectations for 2026 in men’s and women’s golf, the future of tour golf in Canada, favourite 19th holes around the world, and our top holiday gift ideas for golfers—from high-tech training tools to classic stocking stuffers.

A packed episode full of insight, opinion, and plenty of Canadian golf storylines as we head into the festive season.
