4.27.26 | Charles Barkley | Nelly Korda Dominates The Chevron | 5 Clubs

Gary Williams opens the show by breaking down a packed week in golf, highlighted by the Zurich Classic of New Orleans win from Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick and a dominant major performance from Nelly Korda at The Chevron Championship. Gary reflects on Korda’s return to world No. 1, what makes a true star in the sport, and how performance and personality combine to elevate players on the biggest stages.

Charles Barkley, basketball hall of famer and avid golfer, joins the show to share his journey through one of golf’s most infamous swing struggles and how instructor Stan Utley helped him rebuild both his motion and confidence. Barkley opens up about the mental challenges of the game, why overthinking nearly drove him away from golf, and how rediscovering enjoyment has brought him back to playing nearly every day.

Barkley also offers a candid perspective on what separates elite players on the PGA TOUR and amateurs, from their consistency to their ability to recover around the greens. He explains why the mental side of golf is unlike any other sport and shares insights on watching the game’s best perform under pressure.

The conversation expands to the cultural impact of Tiger Woods, with Barkley explaining how Tiger transcended golf and became a true “needle mover” who brought new audiences into the sport. He compares golf’s biggest stars to icons across other leagues and discusses why only a select few athletes truly change the landscape of their game.
