Five Clubs

On this episode of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams recaps a packed weekend across golf — highlighted by Justin Rose adding another milestone win as he continues to pile up victories on the PGA Tour (now 23 career PGA Tour wins) and proving that elite golf in your 40s is still very real.

Then, Lucas Glover — a U.S. Open champion and six-time PGA Tour winner — joins to discuss what it takes to stay competitive through the ups and downs, why today’s rising players look more “ready” than ever, and how TGL has exceeded expectations — including what makes Billy Horschel such a perfect fit for the format.

The conversation also dives into Scottie Scheffler and what stands out most from inside the ropes: humility, consistency, and a “Ben Hogan-esque” style of dominance — plus how (and whether) it’s fair to contextualize this run alongside Tiger Woods.

Later, Gary reacts to the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions being shortened to 54 holes, featuring comments from Nelly Korda after her win — the 16th of her LPGA career.

The show closes with a tribute to Scott Davenport — longtime head professional at Quail Hollow Club — and the impact he made on the game and everyone around him.

On this Wednesday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams breaks down what Brooks Koepka’s return means for the PGA TOUR — and why the “win” might be as much about the return itself as it is about results. Gary also previews the LPGA season, highlighting the tour’s depth, the importance of star power, and why Nelly Korda remains a major driver of mainstream attention as the LPGA continues evolving under new leadership.
Frank Nobilo from CBS joins Gary to put Scottie Scheffler’s dominance in context — including the sensible way to talk about Scheffler in the same breath as Tiger Woods (and even Jack Nicklaus), what truly separates the greats, and why “closing on Sundays” is the common thread. Frank also weighs in on golf’s bigger-picture future: the PGA TOUR’s potential schedule contraction, how “less can feel like more,” rotating playoff venues, and why relegation/elevation matters to the product (and the spirit) of the game.
Later, Taylor Twellman stops by ahead of the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, where he’s competing alongside LPGA stars and celebrities. Twellman shares a powerful story about how golf helped save him after a career-ending concussion, why the sport’s mental demands are uniquely challenging, and how he balances focus, flow, and execution over a long round.

Scottie Scheffler just notched win No. 20, and Gary Williams makes the case that this isn’t a hot streak — it’s the start of the Scheffler era. We break down the historic pace (20 PGA TOUR wins and 4 majors before age 30), the margins that separate him from the field, and why the comparisons to golf’s all-time greats keep getting louder.

Plus, Golf Magazine’s Sean Zak joins the show to discuss what makes Scheffler so hard to beat, why his “bad days” barely exist, and what that dominance does to everyone else chasing him. We also touch on Tommy Fleetwood’s mindset and what makes him one of the most relatable stars in the game.

New 5 Clubs contributor Mel Reid joins Gary to talk LPGA storylines and the evolution of women’s golf coverage — including why more live coverage and better broadcast tech matter, how the LPGA can build stronger fan engagement, and the challenges (and upside) of a global tour schedule. Mel also shares her perspective on playing more iconic venues, where mixed events fit (and don’t fit), and what stands out most about Nelly Korda heading into the season.

On this early Wednesday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams opens with a look at TGL and the shot that may already rank among the league’s all-time highlights, plus thoughts on Scottie Scheffler as his 2026 season begins at The American Express.
Michael McCartin, co-founder of the National Links Trust, joins the show to explain NLT’s mission to protect affordable, accessible municipal golf in Washington, D.C. — and to discuss the organization’s current uncertainty after its long-term lease involving East Potomac, Rock Creek, and Langston was terminated.

PGA of America Hall of Famer, Renee Powell, joins the show by ahead of receiving the NGCOA Award of Merit, reflecting on her journey in golf, the importance of access, and what progress still needs to be made to keep the game welcoming for everyone.

Today on 5 Clubs, Gary Williams looks ahead to a busy week in golf—previewing the American Express and the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, and revisiting why Rory McIlroy has become one of the game’s most reliable fast starters.

Ron Green Jr. from The Global Golf Post joins in-studio to discuss his deep dive on PGA TOUR CEO Brian Rolapp—his background, leadership style, and what his approach could mean for the TOUR’s next chapter. The conversation also turns to Scottie Scheffler and how high his ceiling might be over the next several years.

Later, Roberto Castro—former PGA TOUR pro and a key voice on the technology side of TGL—breaks down how the league came to life, the innovation behind the SoFi Center, and why TGL is gaining traction as a primetime sports product.

Gary closes with final thoughts on the USGA/R&A golf ball rollback timeline and what the latest update could mean moving forward.
