They also discuss the rise of young players, Scottie Scheffler’s dominance, and the challenge emerging players face breaking into a Tour increasingly centered around established stars.

With major team golf coming to Chicago, the conversation turns to Medinah, captain’s picks, potential snubs, young talent, and the players they’d love to see competing in a team format. Brad and Jared also talk about Medinah’s renovation and what makes September golf in Chicago so special.
