Two weeks ago, we sent Neil to Bethpage to record his experience at the 2025 Ryder Cup. From the transportation headaches and practice rounds to the European fan celebrations after the final match concluded on Sunday evening, we did our best to paint an accurate and unfiltered picture of what it was like to have a front row seat to one of the most memorable events in golf.

Our coverage of the 2025 Ryder Cup moves in the US post-mortem phase as Soly searches for answers and insights into what makes the European Ryder Cup machine so effective. In this two-part pod we open up with Duncan Carey - one of the first analytics consultants for the European team in the 2010s - for his thoughts on what the US got wrong on the setup at Bethpage, plus the story of the role of analytics in team competitions, how pairings are formed, and his work with the International teams during the Presidents Cup. In part two (39:00), Soly chats with Jamie Kennedy - Golf Digest director of Digital Content, and social media contributor for the European Ryder Cup team - for a behind the scenes look at what the Euros got right at Bethpage, the role of their various captains, and some guesses as to who’ll be the captains for both sides in 2027 at Adare Manor.

It was close, but it was never going to be enough as Team Europe, led by Captain Luke Donald, lifted the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. 15-13 is the final with Tommy Fleetwood being the high point scorer. We break down the entire week from start to finish, give out grades (for Players, Captains, and Course), play "Where Do We Go From Here?", do some superlatives, peek inside the envelope, and so much more.

Soly, TC, and DJ bring on former NLU Young Hitter Justin Hueber to discuss his run at the USGA Mid-Am and the debate surrounding former professional golfers regaining their amateur status. We also had some fun with random stats from the 2025 PGA Tour Season, recap Michael Kim’s win on the DP World Tour, the LPGA washout in Arkansas, and the KFT tournament in Columbus. Then it’s on to a back nine where we discuss a few bits of pre-Ryder Cup chatter from Bryson and Rory, the cancellation of the 2026 Sentry, the Masters addition of Amazon Prime to their broadcast partners, and more.

The importance and impact of a Ryder Cup team captain has been debated on our pods for as long as we’ve covered the event - but always as a part of a larger discussion around the matches. In this episode we talk with numerous players, captains, media members and discuss amongst ourselves to try and form a consensus on how a captain’s decision making can affect - or not affect - the result of a Ryder Cup.

Randy and Soly talk all things Procore as Scottie Scheffler shoots a Sunday 67 to beat Ben Griffin by a shot to continue an absurd 2025 as he preps to lead the US team at the Ryder Cup in two weeks. We also give some well deserved props to Griffin's runner up finish and Jackson Koivun as the Walker Cup star lands a top 5.
From there we go to the Euro BMW PGA as Alex Noren wins in a playoff at Wentworth, Charley Hull’s win in Cincinnati on the LPGA Tour, Greg Norman’s LIV exit, and close the pod with some laughs as Randy offers some of his favorite Phil Mickelson moments (59:30).

On the morning of his long-awaited trip to document golf in Scotland without a set itinerary, Seve Saiz found his car window smashed and his clubs, equipment and clothes all missing. Instead of canceling his trip, Seve left anyway and documented his trip on an old camcorder using rented clubs while travelling across Scotland in a camper. His story piqued our interest, so TC caught up with Seve to relive it all.

Thanks for sharing this for more visit https://golfshoesforflatfeet.com/
Check your damn sound levels boys. Your volumes are terrible.
a little gross how much hate you have towards Liv. you should look into the world series cricket takeover if u havent already. most sounded like you guys.
dafuq guys? the day Brooks joins LIV, you do an LPGA preview??? I get that it was probably prerorded but surely you could have added a reaction segment at the beginning
This is fantastic. Thanks for putting this out.
Talked the talk every lead up episode about how bad golf coverage is , let Jim off pretty lightly, reckon you layed up there Soly
he looks like a peaky blinder....lol.
This is just gold. Thanks Soly, tremendous interview.
You guys need to stop watching American golf coverage, it's garbage. Sky sports coverage is brilliant.
You guys live in Jax?
