704 - Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth

We're pulling double duty on this week's recap pod with Ruoning Yin claiming the KPMG Women's PGA Championship and Keegan Bradley winning the Travelers.

We start at Baltusrol with Yin's first major championship, the close calls for some of the contenders on the leaderboard, our thoughts on Baltusrol as a host for a women's major and the television coverage from the weekend.

Then it's on to the Travelers (56:15) where Keegan Bradley took advantage of the home game models and won with a whopping 23 under par at TPC River Highlands. We're joined by friend of the program Zac Blair (1:02:45), fresh off his T-2 finish, for his take on the course and what it's like competing in elevated purse events.

We close with some of the rumblings and remaining unknowns around the PGA Tour and the potential deal with the Saudi PIF (1:37:30).

We also give a quick recap of the recent tournaments since our last LPGA pod and look at some of the notable contenders and pairings this week including Rose Zhang in her first major appearance as a professional. Then it's prediction time as we offer some safe and risky prognostications for how the week will play out as well as our picks to win and not win.

We break down Taylor's performance as well as the close call for Fleetwood, the course at Oakdale and Rory's week on the course.

We then shift to the off the course drama from earlier in the week as more details emerge about the proposed framework agreement between the Saudi PIF and the PGA Tour.
