He was not on anyone's list of favorites to win the 2002 PGA Championship outside of Minneapolis. Yet, when he offered up a little jig after securing the Wanamaker Trophy -- and holding off a ferocious rally by Tiger Woods -- Rich Beem had earned his place as a major golf champion.
Join Rich, now completing his first decade with Sky Sports, as we discuss his incredible story and look ahead to who will be dancing in victory in two weeks, at the Ryder Cup.

Funny how a single moment can alter the course of one's life.

Join John for fabulous stories about Tiger, Nick Faldo, Justin Rose, and even James Patterson. Yes, THAT James Patterson! It's amazing how one single question changed John Maginnes's life!
He has been called "The Mayor of Tempo Town" because of his sweet golf swing. And deservedly so. Yet, the story of Jake Knapp goes far beyond his record-setting rounds on the PGA Tour -- to his mastery of Rubik's Cube, his days as a bouncer, and his passion for a certain NHL team.
You'll love the stories from Jake as he prepares for his second go-round in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, right here on "Musings on Golf."
He caddied at some great golf destinations, and Matt Welter identified a problem that he urgently wanted to fix.
His solution? An on-site Dormy House, where employees could live for the extended time they are working at the facility, instead of fending for housing on their own.
His initial build, at the fabulous Bandon Dunes Golf Resort in Oregon, just might the model for new and existing resorts. And that might just lead to even better experiences at those venues where you and your buddies are headed to play!

The 125th U.S. Open Golf Championship begins Thursday at Oakmont Country Club, and no one knows more about the storied club than Bob Ford.

Come along with Mr. Ford, who has plenty to say about this beast of a course, and what it takes to have a chance to prevail on it.

Join Bob and Kelly for the unique story of Larry Nelson, a major winner and World Golf Hall of Fame member.
