4.21.26 | Josh Carpenter & Mel Reid |PGA TOUR Leaving Hawaii & LPGA Major Preview | 5 Clubs

Gary Williams opens the show by discussing the ambitious redevelopment of Cobbs Creek and why the project could become one of the most important public golf facilities in the country. He then shifts to the first women’s major of the year, examining the current state of the LPGA, the value of star power versus depth, and why this week at Memorial Park Golf Course could be a major moment for the women’s game.

Josh Carpenter joins Gary to discuss his report that the PGA TOUR is moving away from Hawaii to begin the season, including the end of the event at the Plantation Course at Kapalua and what could happen with the Sony Open in Hawaii. Carpenter explains why the TOUR is making the change, what it could mean for the 2027 schedule, and how sponsors are reacting as uncertainty continues around LIV Golf and the possible return of players like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm.

Mel Reid previews this week’s Chevron Championship and explains why Memorial Park is a much stronger venue than the tournament’s recent home. Reid shares why she believes as many as 20 to 30 players could realistically win the championship, highlights contenders such as Nelly Korda, Jeeno Thitikul, Hannah Green and Lydia Ko, and discusses the pressure that comes with being the face of women’s golf.
