Fore Play

The golf world is abuzz over Brooks Koepka claiming there is no rivalry with Rory McIlroy because Rory hasn't won a major in 5 years. We pick sides! We also detail the Barstool Classic Championship, reuniting with our greatest podcast guest of all time Jake Owen, and give our takes on the new that Tiger Woods is writing his own book called “BACK.”

The boys are back and have decided to stick to two podcasts a week. We talk about Frankie leaving a mess in the office, how back Riggs golf game is, Lanto Griffin,  the European and Ladies Euro Tour's decision to host a mixed event, and tons more. We're back baby, we're so back!!!

Have we had enough with Phil Mickelson? Is the Houston Open the new John Deere Classic? What does Francesco Molinari to this day think about his U.S. Open interview with us? And Lurch goes on a U-word first date!

Barstool's pot stirrer and huge golf guy Kirk Minihane joins the show and things become unhinged real fast. We talk Kevin Na's putting antics, when Dave Portnoy will die, how our fall golf games are shaping up and MUCH more. Oh, and our friend Bryson says he's going to get yoked!

We kickoff the show with Riggs officially banning the usage of a certain word and imposing a fine for using it. Then we breakdown the Riggs vs Whitney match saga, which has been canceled due to an amateur status situation. In headlines, the Korean Tour money leader received a 3 year ban for flipping off a distracting fan so we tell our best middle finger stories. Also, we love our Aussie fans!!!

The whole squad's in studio for the first time in weeks and we have a lot of catching up to do. We tell stories, react to Cameron Champ's emotional win and Rory's aggressive European Tour comments, and debate if we're cool or not. Also, stick around to see if Frankie lands his joke.....

Riggs and Whitney have finalized details for their long-awaited $10k match. We breakdown the details, the expectations, and Riggs reveals what Frankie's caddie's cut will be. Plus, Trent's childhood nightmares won't die and Rory's dad is pretty damn good at golf!!!

This one goes off the rails. Fast. How many over par do you think you are in your life? How absurd is it that Rory has alignment issues? How mistreated were Trent and Riggs by their siblings? Wild show. Wild fun. Listen!

Lurch calls in from the Dunvegan Hotel Pub in St. Andrews, Scotland to talk links golf. And we take a bunch of From The Galleries. Would you skip playing Augusta to watch Tiger maybe win his 19th major? Can you golf with shades on? A watch? Stuff in your pockets? Oh, and Frankie says he could kill a baby if he really wanted to!

Daniel Berger joins the show for the first time (~53:10). He talks about never watching golf, not playing for his high school golf team, but realizing how much he loves playing the game while coming back from injury. He also relives being on the other side of Spieth's famous Travelers Championship playoff bunker hole out, destroying the international team in the 2017 Presidents Cup, and what it was like in the team room with Tiger and Phil. Before Berger, we discuss the Solheim Cup, Cabot Links, Kevin Chappell posting 59 and MUCH more!

American Solheim Cup Captain Juli Inkster joins the show (~61:42) to talk all things Solheim Cup, from playing in hostile territory to using motivational tools to what it's like reeling in Danielle Kang. Before Juli, the bottled water debate intensifies, we honor Arnold Palmer on his would-be 90th birthday, and we tackle some From The Gallery submissions!

Should “golf” as a verb be universally accepted as correct? We think so. We played Liberty National Monday morning and breakdown the round, then get into “the bug rule,” Matt Kuchar's latest hatable antics, talk a little tennis, argue tap water vs bottled water, and take some From The Galleries!!!

In the long-anticipated return of Behind The Greens, we take calls from several course pros telling stories of their experiences, adventures, and observations running golf courses. We get Justin Bieber and Michael Jordan tales, carts in ponds, railroad knockouts and MUCH more. Feels good to be back!!!

LPGA Tour winner and European Solheim Cup player Bronte Law joins the show (~53:41) to talk golf, coming to America, Call Her Daddy and more. We also recap our weekends including lots of golf, wedding, and even tennis talk!

Kiz calls into the show to preview the 5-iron match and detail his finish to the season, including what happens to his $843K FedEx Cup paycheck. You'll want to hear this. We also debate if an average golfer with TOUR-like resources and commitment could become a scratch golfer!

Rory McIlroy wins the TOUR Championship and we react to it all from the format, to Koepka's performance, to JT's comments and more. We also dissect an interesting rules dispute we had over the weekend, and Frankie goes through a horrible professional debacle live on the show!

Phil Mickelson is ALL OVER the Fore Play crew on Twitter and we react in real-time as the replies keep coming. We also talk golf gambling games, debate if Rory McIlroy is more famous than Bruce Willis, and give our takes on the TOUR Championship!

We're buzzing off a big weekend in Chicago and Wisconsin. We relive the weekend in golf including the Barstool Classic in Chicago and a spiritual Erin Hills experience. We also deliver FedEx Cup format takes and react to Justin Thomas' insane weekend at Medinah!

Frankie Borrelli, our resident lefty, vs Lefty Justin Thomas in a golf match. Who would win? We debate this, slow play, Phil's ramped up Twitter presence and Tiger feeling better. We also breakdown and react to our in-depth Bryson interview from earlier in the week!

In the middle of a slow play firestorm, Bryson DeChambeau (~4:40) joins the show for a full hour. We talk the 2:10 putt, the players that have taken shots at him, what happened with Brooks Koepka, his process for putting, how wind affects putts, and much, much more. We're tough at times and agree at others. You're going to want to listen to this one!!!
