Alison Lee Has Never Lost a Solheim Cup

Season 1 · Episode 21

Friday, September 4, 2026 • Duration 01:01:21

One week before the Solheim Cup, Alison Lee explains how a player who wasn't on Angela Stanford's radar in January played her way onto Team USA by June — after an emergency C-section, a first range session that ended in tears, and a driver that "looked like I hit a marshmallow." She goes back to the week she finished dead last in Dallas and nearly walked away, the swing coach who "brought me back from the dead," the Freddie Couples text thread that flipped a switch, and the broomstick putter she wishes she'd found three years earlier. Kent and Scottie get her on the points system she'd change, why she's never been on a losing U.S. team, what a 2015 rookie learned from Cristie Kerr and Paula Creamer, the WTGL, Golf Saudi's money and what it means for the LET — and Caddy Corner, where the most underrated tour stop stumps her cold. Plus: what she hopes her son thinks when he watches her play, and the retirement plan that kicks in the moment she finally wins.

AIG Women's Open Preview: Majors Poker Draft, Team Europe's Last Solheim Spot & Royal Lytham Hole by Hole

Season 1 · Episode 15

Wednesday, July 29, 2026 • Duration 44:32

Kent Paisley and Scottie "Worldwide" Leonard close the major season with their final draft of the year, splitting a 25-player pool ahead of the 50th AIG Women's Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes. Kent — carrying a 3-1 Majors Poker series lead and two days removed from the San Francisco half marathon — opens with Nelly Korda on her birthday week, noting that a win there hands her the LPGA's Grand Slam and a straight ticket to the Hall of Fame, then stacks Brooke Henderson, the world number two and Lydia Ko behind her. Scottie counters with Charley Hull, defending champion Miyu Yamashita and Alison Lee, and brings the view from inside the ropes: a forty-minute call with his player, who walked eighteen at Lytham that morning and put both a three iron and a four iron in the bag for a course playing fast and firm enough that almost nobody is hitting driver. He walks the holes that will decide it — the wind pushing right-to-left at 8, the blind tee shot at 16, the right-hand bunkers at 18 you cannot reach the green from — and puts the winning score at 13 under. In between, the two build competing top-five lists of the LPGA players who should launch YouTube channels, a segment Charley Hull's own Sweet Spot Golf launch sets up, landing on Megan Khang, Ariya Jutanugarn, Linn Grant, the Iwai twins and, at the top for both, Nelly and Lydia. They also map Team Europe's last open Solheim spot down to the two players still in range with one week to play, and Scottie names the four captain's picks he believes Anna Nordqvist would make if the team were set today. Kent's hot take lands last and has nothing to do with any of it: he does not want a golf course to start with a par three.

"It's Never Been Harder to Win"

Season 1 · Episode 14

Tuesday, July 28, 2026 • Duration 01:40:49

Kent Paisley and Scottie "Worldwide" Leonard sit down with Grant Boone, the lead play-by-play voice of LPGA broadcasts, for a wide-ranging hour and forty on a tour he argues has never been deeper — or harder to win on. Boone, who called his first LPGA event in March 2000 and has worked alongside Donna Caponi, Judy Rankin, Dottie Pepper, Morgan Pressel and Karen Stupples, uses that span as a measuring stick: in Rankin's era you beat eighteen or twenty great players and all the Sandras; now the depth runs so far down the field that a rookie can lose her card before she's had fifteen real starts. Kent drives the analysis — ranking Nelly Korda's three most dominant seasons against each other, pressing on whether the schedule has drained the emotional juice out of the tour, and mapping the Solheim Cup math down to four players for three captain's picks. Scottie brings the view from inside the ropes, including a 270-yard uphill three wood at last year's International Crown he still doesn't quite believe. Along the way: what's genuinely under-discussed about Nelly, why Haeran Ryu's putter — not her ball-striking — is what finally changed, whether Minjee Lee's 85 at Scottish means anything at all, and a spirited argument over whether four of five majors can really be a Grand Slam. Boone's commissioner-for-a-day answer is the one to stick around for, and it isn't about television. Kent's hot take lands late and cuts against the guest: Boone insists a broadcaster's work doesn't matter much next to a teacher's or a social worker's — and Kent pushes back hard, because unlike the men's game, the LPGA has no beat corps on the ground, which means the stories Boone tells are the only ones many of these players will ever get told.

The Golf Is Gonna Be the Easy Part

Season 1 · Episode 13

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 56:36

Kent Paisley and Scottie "Worldwide" Leonard sit down with U.S. Solheim Cup captain Angela Stanford, just back from Team USA's scouting trip to Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands ahead of the September 2026 matches against Anna Nordqvist's Europe. The 2018 Evian champion — now captaining after six Solheim Cups as a player and three as an assistant — breaks down what the recon confirmed: a firm, fast course she expects to be defended by wind and hole locations, and a young American core that genuinely likes being around each other. Scottie draws out the human side of the job — the first time she stood in front of the players as the decision-maker, building trust one private conversation at a time, and why she'd rather each player understand why they matter than simply "bond." Kent works the strategy: how Stanford weighs a hot hand against a trusted veteran for her captain's picks, why so few Americans having won in Europe reshaped her thinking on rookies, and whether she'd send a player out for all five sessions. Along the way — Alison Lee's late-summer surge into the conversation, Jenny Bae's grit, Auston Kim in the mix, and how KPMG Performance Insights lead analyst Justin Ray's analytics ("I'm probably 50/50") sit beside the eye test. Plus a Mike Tyson mantra about plans and punches, the loneliest call she'll have to make, and the one thing Stanford wishes everyone understood: the Solheim Cup deserves to be spoken of in the same breath as the Ryder Cup.

Counting Circles, Not Bogeys — Haeran Ryu's Evian Breakthrough

Season 1 · Episode 12

Wednesday, July 15, 2026 • Duration 54:50

Kent Paisley and Scottie "Worldwide" Leonard review the 2026 Evian Championship, where Haeran Ryu won a playoff over Brooke Henderson for her second major of the season — the first time in LPGA history two players have each won multiple majors in the same year. Scottie, fresh off the flight home from Evian-les-Bains, brings the on-site read on the finish and a Solheim Cup scoop from his connecting flight; Kent brings the numbers, breaking down Henderson's six-eagle weekend (three on Sunday, including an ace) and a tightening Player of the Year race between Nelly Korda and Ryu. Secondary threads: Lydia Ko's caddie situation for the week (why her regular caddie stayed on Lindy Duncan's bag instead), a running debate over whether the LPGA is seeing "too many 60s" lately, and Solheim Stock Watch — team-points math for both sides off Scottie's spotting of several prospects on his flight out of Geneva. Kent's hot take: he pushes back hard on the idea that players are under any obligation to talk to media after a tough round, arguing it's core to being a professional athlete — Scottie disagrees. Plus a lighthearted Major Poker recap and the hosts' running bragging-rights tally.
