Week 43 - US Open Recap & PGA Tour Realignment

Week 43 - US Open Recap & PGA Tour Realignment

This week on This Is Not Golf, we break down a packed week in the golf world. We recap the U.S. Open, preview the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands, and give our picks for winner, longshot, first-round leader, and lock for top 10. We also dive into the PGA Tour realignment and explain what the new Championship Series and Challenger Series could mean for the future of professional golf. Plus, we debate the best U.S. Open courses, compare Tiger Woods’ greatest season to Scottie Scheffler’s best run, and talk about what makes Travelers one of the most fun post-major stops on Tour.

Week 43 - US Open Week

This week, the U.S. Open heads back to Shinnecock Hills, one of the most historic and demanding venues in championship golf. Known for its wind, firm greens, awkward lies, and brutal mental test, Shinnecock is the kind of course that exposes every weakness in a player’s game. This won’t be a birdie-fest — it’s going to be about patience, fairways, smart misses, and surviving the chaos. With big names chasing history and underrated players looking to break through, this week has all the makings of a classic U.S. Open.

Week 42 - Memorial Tournament & Internet Invitational News

This week on the pod, we break down the Memorial Tournament, the best course fits at Muirfield Village, Ryder Cup talk, our longshot picks, and why the Internet Invitational proved YouTube golf is officially a problem for traditional golf. Fast takes, fun debates, and plenty of bad golf opinions

Week 41 - CJ Cup & Craziest Golf Draft Ever

Major week is in the books, and we’re back on the tee box breaking down everything happening in the golf world. This episode covers the biggest PGA Championship storylines, the surprise names making noise, Scottie Scheffler’s bounce-back opportunity, LIV guys in the mix, and what to expect this week at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Then we shift into our tournament preview at TPC Craig Ranch, a course built for birdies, hot putters, and aggressive golf. We talk players to watch, key storylines, possible sleepers, and whether Scottie can dominate again. To close it out, we bring in a fun draft segment: “Things That Expose Your Handicap.” From saying “I found something” after one good range session to blaming every miss on alignment, we draft the funniest things golfers do that immediately reveal what kind of player they really are. Golf talk, bad takes, birdie bets, and plenty of laughs — this one is for the weekend warriors and golf junkies.

Week 40 - PGA Championship Week

This week, we’re breaking down the PGA Championship with course talk, key players, picks, and everything you need to know before the first tee shot. Then we switch gears for a fun one — a Golf Course Food Draft. Hot dogs, burgers, turn dogs, snacks, drinks, and all the clubhouse classics are on the board. Major championship golf, bold takes, and the ultimate debate on what belongs in the golf cart. Tune in now and let us know who won the draft!
