We break down the action with pro golfer Cheyenne Woods, fresh off her announcing debut at The Match 3 a few weeks ago. Cheyenne gives us her picks and who to watch for this week (12:00). Fresh off correctly predicting Viktor Hovland winning at Mayakoba, the Be Right boys give their best bets for the U.S. Women’s Open, the QBE Shootout and the DP World Tour Championship.

The boys open by ranking the best Halloween costumes from the golf world and give out their “best golfer on the planet RIGHT NOW” awards. Plus, the golfiest thing in golf and a debate about drinking on the golf course.

Plus, Travelers Championship picks, and some quick picks for the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club.

Sanderson Farms winner Mackenzie Hughes is this week’s guest and he came armed with some great college stories involving fellow Canadians Corey Conners and Taylor Pendrith.

Alex, Steve and CP also make their Mexico Open picks, debate the merits of the USGA handicap system and offer up an interesting conspiracy theory about Chase Koepka’s loud hole-in-one on LIV.

Live from Puerto Rico, Matt Every joins us ahead of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which he famously won in back-to-back years in 2014 and 2015. Unfortunately, that didn’t earn him a spot in this year’s field, but Every is still chasing the dream at the Puerto Rico Open. The outspoken pro has also started a new podcast of his own, and is hopeful that he can return to TV when he eventually calls it quits. Every, CP, Steve and Alex also give their Bay Hill picks, and the boys debate the merits of simulator golf.
 

The Ringer’s Kevin Clark joins us to put last week’s legendary NFL divisional round games into context. Clark explains why he loves betting on golf, and he reveals how golf helps him interview some of the NFL’s best quarterbacks … and yes, why they’re all golf sickos.

Torrey Pines is one of the best weeks of the year, and with the Wednesday start—we’re ready to go early for this week’s podcast (kind of). Listen on for (some) of our best bets of the week.

We also recapped another “boring” win from Scottie Scheffler and made a few picks for the Valspar (and the NCAA Tournament).

Another winner for the “Be Right” crew last week with Stephen Hennessey hitting Patrick Cantlay, thanks to Brandon Gdula’s pick in our GolfDigest.com experts picks column.

Rocco Mediate, best known for his epic playoff loss against Tiger Woods at the 2008 U.S. Open, joins us live from his garage in Minnesota ahead of this week’s Players Championship. Mediate, now 60, was excited to announce that he plays from the senior tees now, and that his new SiriusXM radio show “The Rocco Hour” is set to debut this week. If the show is as lively as our chat with him, it should be a huge success. We talked about everything from Tiger at Torrey to his insane drip to how the scene has evolved at the WM Phoenix Open, which he thinks is “a joke” nowadays. Plus, the boys discuss Rory McIlroy’s questionable decision-making at Bay Hill, and make their best bets for TPC Sawgrass.

Joel drops a few bombs—including that we should expect an unexpected name to be headed to LIV in the next few weeks, plus the possibility of a third (!?) rival tour popping up to compete with the PGA Tour and LIV.

We talked plenty of golf with Sabathia, plus a little baseball, before diving into the FedEx Cup Playoffs, which have become even more confusing to understand thanks to the mess that LIV has created.
