Five Clubs

Gary Williams is live on a Monday with the weekly winners, and 19-year-old Blades Brown headlines after outlasting Ben James in a playoff to win the World Wide Technology Championship. Gary breaks down why Brown’s 22 top-25s in 31 pro starts this year show he was built for this moment, and how that run compares to Tiger Woods’ first 32 starts on Tour.

Brendan Porath of Fried Egg Golf joins to discuss whether Brown, Ben James, Jackson Koivun, Chris Gotterup and Michael Brennan could reshape the U.S. Ryder Cup roster for Adare Manor. He also weighs in on Jon Rahm’s dominant win in Abu Dhabi, his sixth Rolex Series title, and what it signals for 2027, plus Bryson DeChambeau’s open letter after the wind-down of LIV Golf and why venues like Colonial still matter.

Also on today’s show: LPGA and DP World Tour winners, highlights from the opening match of WTGL featuring Michelle Wie West, Rose Zhang and Lin Grant, and a spotlight on 14-year-old Autumn Soulsby, whose event Autumn’s Eagles is raising money for the Children’s Home Society of North Carolina.

Tomorrow: Johnson Wagner and Brendan de Jonge of Wagyu Filet join Gary for the full show.
