We’re talking about the state and speed of professional golf—as well as the rise of TGL. While there weren’t huge expectations for the upstart golf league on ESPN—it’s proven to be a hit—nearly doubling final round audiences so far this year on traditional tournament broadcasts. Check out the full-episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube, and excuse the technical issue that caused me to sound like a chipmunk. We’ll be back to regular recording sound next week.

Season 4 of Out of Bounds is here! Nate Sharman and Josh Durso kick off the 2025 season with a deep dive into the latest headlines from the world of golf. Fresh off the Sentry Tournament, where scoring records fell and Hideki Matsuyama claimed victory, the duo breaks down what’s ahead in professional golf. They recap the Sentry’s key takeaways, preview the launch of the highly anticipated TGL league, and discuss the Crypto.com Showdown—a $10 million faceoff featuring golf’s biggest stars. The episode also dives into the latest updates on the PGA-PIF deal, which inches closer to a $1.5 billion agreement. Plus, they debate who had the bigger breakout year—Xander Schauffele or Bryson DeChambeau—and who’s more likely to continue their dominance in 2025: Scottie Scheffler or Nelly Korda.

Scottie Scheffler is back in the field and the betting favorite as odds open up for the week. They also break down the likelihood of defending champ Brooks Koepka, or another LIV player to make a run and capture another major title for the upstart league.

This week on episode #69 of the podcast we're previewing the Wells Fargo Championship happening at Quail Hollow Golf & Country Club, as well as the PGA Championship, as the countdown to the second major of the golf year ticks closer. We break down the broadcast booth for the US Open, which was announced just this week, and an impressive win by Brooks Keopka at LIV Singapore.

Can anyone stop Scottie Scheffler? Coming off his second Masters victory in a span of three years many expected a lull. He’s expecting his first child in a matter of days, had little time to prepare for the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links, and yet like every other week in the last two months — Scheffler delivered a win. It was his fourth win in five starts, and now with a couple weeks off, the golf world begins speculating about what could now become the greatest single season in PGA Tour history. We’re also talking about Nelly Korda’s history-making victory at The Chevron Championship. It was her second major victory, and fifth straight win in as many starts. We’ve also got the latest on a rumor about how a PGA Tour-LIV Golf merger may go down this off season.

The 2024 Masters at Augusta National is in the books. It’s the Monday morning after the Sunday showdown that featured Scottie Scheffler pulling away from the field on the back nine. And we’re talking about the biggest stories to come from it. 

Watch here: https://youtu.be/vc3CTakgvyo

What are we talking about?!

• Scottie’s place among the greats of the game;
• Ludvig Aberg with an impressive showing in his first appearance at Augusta;
• Max Homa, Collin Morikawa, and Bryson DeChambeau having good showings but not getting it done;
• Tiger Woods breaking the consecutive cut record at The Masters; and 
• Course conditions, as well as TV ratings, which will undoubtedly be subject to debate well-beyond this edition.

This week on the podcast it’s all about The Masters. The first major of the 2024 season is here; and that means stars from the PGA Tour and LIV Golf will come together to try and win a green jacket. Will Jon Rahm repeat? Will Scottie Scheffler or Rory McIlroy claim the title for the PGA Tour? And what about guys like Tiger Woods, Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Max Homa, and Patrick Cantlay? How will they do this weekend? We discuss it all on this episode of Out of Bounds!

It was an electric two-week stretch on the PGA Tour, as the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship set the stage for Scottie Scheffler to remind the golf world why he is the #1 player on earth. We break down the biggest golf stories of the last month, including the status of PIF-PGA negotiations, as well as comparisons the Players received this past week to The Masters.

This week we're breaking down two weeks worth of professional golf and looking ahead to some of the biggest storylines coming up. Anthony Kim is set to make his return playing at LIV Jeddah, the PGA Tour continues to see young players getting big wins as the game's stars look to get in playing condition for major season, and of course, we have Tiger Woods back in the mix. Plus, our picks for LIV Jeddah and the Congizant Classic!

On Sunday, as Canadian Nick Taylor came down the stretch — needing a birdie on 18 to force a playoff and potentially win his second event in less than one year — he delivered. Then, he birdied it twice more in a playoff against Charlie Hoffman. This week on Out of Bounds we’re talking Taylor’s huge win, the changes and reaction to a disastrous WM Open in Phoenix, players sounding off at an intoxicated crowd, and looking ahead to the Genesis Open. Tiger Woods is back and has a brand new apparel brand, too!

We’re talking about Tiger’s departure from Nike, Min Woo Lee signing with Lulu, Farmers Insurance dropping sponsorship of a longtime tournament after this season, and rumors about Wyndham Clark heading to LIV!

The 2024 PGA Tour season is officially underway and that means speculation season is over! On this episode of the podcast we get into our expectations for a Jon Rahm-less PGA Tour. We talk Scottie Scheffler winning player of the year, Rory McIlroy walking back critical comments of LIV Golf, and the pushed timeline for a deal between the PGA Tour and Saudi-backed Public Investment Fund.

Check out the full episode on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or the iHeartRadio app.

Today we’re taking on some of the questions floating around social media as the golf world reacts to Jon Rahm’s departure from the PGA Tour. After the initial news (or speculation) wore off about the amount of money he was undoubtedly paid to leave the Tour and join the upstart LIV Golf League — the focus shifted to “what’s next” for all parties involved. We’ll answer your questions, look ahead to what’s next for the PGA Tour, and how this situation could evolve in the coming months.

We entered the Hero World Challenge thinking Tiger Woods playing 72-holes of competitive golf would be the biggest headline when the sun set on Sunday; and couldn’t have been more wrong. Not only did we get seismic news about rolling back the golf ball, but also even greater signs pointing to Jon Rahm leaving the PGA TOUR for a contract with LIV Golf. We also break down the rules violation at the Hero involving Collin Morikawa and the prospect of Tiger Woods leaving Nike. Check it out on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts today!

Tiger Woods is BACK at the Hero World Challenge! He will make his playing return this weekend, and at his first press conference this week, made tons of headlines -- shedding light on the Tour's existential crisis involving LIV, the future of his own playing schedule, and why he felt it was appropriate for Rory McIlroy to step away. Speaking of Rory, in the podcast we talk about his future with the game, as he recently stepped down from the PGA Tour Policy Board, and talked about a shorter schedule in future years. We also talk about new rumors that Jon Rahm could be going to LIV!

This week on Out of Bounds its all about the fall schedule, world ranking points, LIV Golf's finale, and what's next on the PGA Tour. Is it time for a completely new ranking system in professional golf? Most agree at this point that the OWGR doesn't work, or correctly rank players. What would be a better system? We also talk about the comparisons between Tom Kim and Ludvig Aberg after Kim's win at the Shriners this past weekend.

This week on the podcast it's post-op analysis on the 2023 Ryder Cup, where Team Europe absolutely dominated! We break down the biggest wins and losses, the storylines that gripped viewers throughout the weekend, and where Team USA goes from here.

On episode #79 of Out of Bounds we’re talking about Hideki Matsuyama’s win at the St. Jude in Memphis as the FedEx Cup playoffs enter week #2, as well as the implications of players who were on both sides of the top-50 bubble. We also dig deeper into the FedEx Cup Playoff structure, as well as the regular season, and what changes would make the biggest difference after a lackluster and steamy Sunday in Memphis. Looking ahead to the Tour’s second playoff stop in Denver, we’re talking about the players with the most to win and lose, as the finale at East Lake is mere days away.

Tiger Woods was spotted in the wild, at the Liberty National range for a charity event his foundation is hosting. He wasn’t taking full swings, but he was doing enough that golf fans everywhere went absolutely insane. Since undergoing surgery it was the first time we’d seen the Big Cat on a golf course with other pros. That wasn't all we talked about this week as we previewed the Ryder Cup and looked ahead to the 2024 PGA Tour schedule.

Earlier this week Ryder Cup Captain Zach Johnson unveiled his picks for Team USA. The news that Justin Thomas would be included surprised some, but not others. Sure, that was probably the most identifiable headline that came from his press conference, but there was much more to discuss.

On this week’s episode of the podcast we talk FedEx Cup format, Tour Championship and playoff venues, as well as the chances Team USA has heading to Italy.

Check it out on YouTube, or find the pod on your favorite platform.

Nate and Josh also discuss the golf ball rollback, which the PGA Tour says it will not support, as well as Nelly Korda's perhaps temporary move from a Taylormade driver this past weekend.

This week on Out of Bounds it’s all about the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. It’s another elevated event, which means players will be put to the test. Scoring is expected to be better — as River Highlands plays at just 6,841 yards. In 2016, Jim Furyk set the course record here shooting 58.

• What’s next for the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, LIV Golf, and PIF as a NEW DOJ antitrust investigation looms?
• What do the lack of updates from PGA Tour leadership about Commissioner Jay Monahan’s condition mean? Should golf fans be worried?
• Is Jon Rahm really considering a move to LIV Golf? At this point, it seems like he won’t jump — but the rumors were hot-and-heavy during US Open week, especially  after his pre-tournament press conference.
• What’s next for Rickie Fowler? Did he miss his last chance to capture a major championship?!
• We also discuss the criticism of Rory McIlroy, and how technology could be driving decision making on the golf course in crucial moments.

Wyndham Clark is your 2023 US Open champion! On this edition of Out of Bounds we break down the top-5, which included some of the biggest names in golf making a charge late-Sunday. Where does this runner-up finish leave Rory McIlroy? What about Scottie Scheffler who showcased another incredibly consistent performance in a major event? We also talk about Rickie Fowler, who wasn't able to hang on for the win despite having a share of the 54-hole lead. There were also concerns about LA Country Club as a venue, which for a variety of reasons, didn't provide the best viewing experience for fans on the ground - or those watching on television.

This week on Out of Bounds we take you through the biggest golf headlines of the week leading into the US Open. We take a look back at last week’s incredible RBC Canadian Open, which wound up having among the best weekend television ratings in the last two years. We look at favorites and long shots to win the US Open. And answer some common questions about course setup. Has the USGA gone too far with lengthening par-3s? What about excruciatingly long rough and fast greens? We talk about all of it on this week’s edition of Out of Bounds!

Earlier today the PGA Tour announced that it, along with LIV Golf, DP World Tour, and all other associated tours would merge into one for-profit entity. The blockbuster news came out of absolutely nowhere, with players, media, and golf fans stunned by the news. Among the biggest takeaways, is that the much criticized Saudi funding that fueled LIV and its criticism- will now back the PGA Tour and it's endeavors.

A new week is officially here in professional golf, but before we turn the page to the RBC Heritage Open and more US Open prep- we have to talk about all the biggest headlines to come out of this past weekend. On this episode of Out of Bounds we're dishing on Rose Zhang's incredible debut performance on the LPGA Tour, questions around Rory McIlroy's game, Viktor Hovland's big win, and so much more.

This week on episode #77 of Out of Bounds it's all about reviewing major performances for 2024. The golf majors are behind us and there's new reason to debate who had the most-impressive year as Xander Schauffele captured his second major of his career (and year!). We're looking ahead at the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Playoffs, as well as The Olympics which gets going in little more than a week.

After 133 starts without a victory on the PGA Tour Wyndham Clark captured the Wells Fargo Championship to become a first time winner. After a strong performance on Saturday, which was nearly mirrored by the #5 golfer in the world Xander Schauffele, Clark struggled to get things going. That changed with a birdie on #8, which he followed up with four more over the next 7 holes. Today on Out of Bounds the team talks about the victory, and what it means for him, as well as one of the biggest stories coming into the week, Rory McIlroy, who continued to look out of form this weekend.

On this episode it's all about the Wells Fargo Championship! Will Rory McIlroy finally look like himself? Will Patrick Cantlay finally break through and get a win now that he has Joe Lacava on the bag? Those questions, plus your weekly look at odds heading into this elevated event on the PGA Tour!

It might not have been a banner week for golf, but it certainly was a notable one! Tony Finau was victorious at the Mexico Open, holding off World #1 Jon Rahm. On the other side of the world Talor Gooch became LIV Golf's first back-to-back winner. Those are just two of the topics Sharman and Durso dive into on this week's edition of Out of Bounds. They also discuss an early list of the best players to not yet capture a major title. Could they get one at the PGA Championship in Rochester, New York?! All of that and more on this week's episode of Out of Bounds!

Is LIV Golf gaining steam? This week on the podcast Nate and Josh break down the latest LIV event that had a 'major feel' to it, according to players, as well as the upstart league's position in golf. Is it working? Can they find a market? The duo also talk about two players in LIV that appear to be headed opposite directions! While Bryson DeChambeau appears to be burning out as he struggles to find his game, Patrick Reed is on fire- playing some of the most consistent golf of his entire career. They also recap the Zurich and look ahead to the Mexico Open where Jon Rahm is heavily favored to win it all.
