He discusses the role legendary writers have played in shaping the game’s biggest moments, from Amen Corner to major championship history, and why the human element remains at the heart of great sports journalism. Gary also previews the Memorial Tournament, highlights NCAA Men’s Golf Championship action, and shares thoughts on some of the game’s brightest young stars. Brendon de Jonge, former PGA TOUR player and SiriusXM host, joins Gary to rank the best players in the world by tiers. The two debates where players like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg, and others belong in today’s pecking order. They also discuss potential Presidents Cup sleepers, emerging stars, and which players could make a late-season run toward Player of the Year honors. Jack Nicklaus, 18-time major champion and host of the Memorial Tournament, reflects on the origins of one of golf’s most prestigious events and the vision he and Barbara Nicklaus had when creating Muirfield Village.
