S4 E176 • Jun 5, 2025 • 85 mins

Join Matt Cook, Buttsy, and Brent Grant as they explore golf history and offer a pre-preview of the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont, highlighting Scottie Scheffler's prospects. They tackle controversial topics like steroids and beta blockers in golf and discuss the longest day in the sport. The episode features Max Homa's caddie change, Mason Howell's performance, and U.S. Open qualifiers, including a former caddy turned dentist. They debate venues Oakmont and Shinnecock, analyze PGA and LIV Golf contenders, and discuss Jon Rahm's struggles. Predictions for the U.S. Open winner, dark horses, and broadcast quality are shared, alongside humorous anecdotes and sponsor shoutouts.

Key Points

  • Golf could benefit from experimenting with performance-enhancing drugs to see how they impact players' abilities, much like the Enhanced Games in other sports.
  • Scottie Scheffler is a strong contender for the U.S. Open, particularly if he can maintain his recent accuracy and mental composure under pressure.
  • Oakmont presents a brutal test for golfers with its thick rough, lightning-fast greens, and challenging layout, making it a true U.S. Open venue where accuracy and mental toughness are crucial.
