2.18.26 | Gabby Herzig & Gil Hanse | Breaking down Scheffler, Morikawa, and Gotterup & Spanish Bay Reimagined | 5 Clubs

On this Wednesday “getaway day” edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams sets the table for a loaded stretch of golf and where the PGA TOUR is headed next.

Gary opens with thoughts on the grind of pro golf and what’s coming at Riviera, then shifts to Tiger Woods’ latest comments, especially the small but meaningful note that the Masters isn’t off the table.

Next, Gabby Herzig from The Athletic joins to break down what she’s seeing from Scottie Scheffler as 2026 continues to look like a “maximum ceiling” year. Healthy and nearly impossible to slow down. Gabby also reflects on Collin Morikawa’s win at Pebble Beach and what it revealed about his mindset, plus why the mental side of the game is often what decides who gets back over the line.

From there, the conversation moves into the bigger TOUR and LIV picture. Gabby shares what she heard from players about Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed returning, why top players still care deeply about beating the best week to week, and how the game is still trying to get to its most competitive, unified version again.

Then Gil Hanse joins for a detailed look at one of the biggest design projects in golf. The complete rebuild of The Links at Spanish Bay. Gil explains the aggressive timeline, how the team is reshaping the corridors and green complexes, why expanding greens creates more strategy and more interesting hole locations, and what fans can expect from a routing change designed to maximize the coastline views and that true ground game feel.

The episode wraps with Dogs of the Week, updated standings, and the crew’s The Genesis Invitational picks heading into Riviera. 5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (Channel 92).
