8.25.26 | Paul McGinley & Colt Knost | PGA TOUR Changes, Rory McIlroy, Presidents Cup Picks & POY | 5 Clubs

Gary Williams is joined by Paul McGinley and Colt Knost for a packed Tuesday edition of 5 Clubs as the PGA TOUR prepares for potential major changes to its postseason and the golf world turns its attention to East Lake.

Paul McGinley of Sky Sports Golf joins the show to discuss the uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf and what it could mean for the DP World Tour, whether LIV has impacted players’ ability to compete in major championships, and the possibility of Jon Rahm eventually returning to the PGA TOUR.

McGinley also breaks down Rory McIlroy’s outlook as he enters the next stage of his career, why motivation and scheduling could be critical to Rory’s pursuit of more major championships, and what the United States could learn from Europe when it comes to using team competitions to prepare players for the Ryder Cup.

Then Colt Knost of Golf SubPar joins Gary to look back at Wyndham Clark’s BMW Championship victory, the Player of the Year debate between Clark and Scottie Scheffler, and some of the players who have impressed him most this season — including Chris Gotterup, Jacob Bridgeman, Jackson Koivun, and Gary Woodland.

Gary also makes his case for why Woodland deserves a Presidents Cup captain’s pick and looks ahead to Brian Rolapp’s expected vision for the future of the PGA TOUR, including match play and a reimagined postseason.
