Why Golf Hates Wyndham Clark, Scottie vs. Wyndham, and the PGA Tour’s New Playoff Format

About this episode

Wyndham Clark won the BMW Championship, but the bigger story may have been the crowd openly rooting against him.

Dan and the crew break down why Wyndham has become one of golf’s most polarizing players, whether he is taking over the villain role once held by Bryson DeChambeau, and what Wyndham himself had to say about fans cheering his mistakes.

They also debate Wyndham vs. Scottie Scheffler for Player of the Year, react to Gary Woodland’s emotional return to the Tour Championship, break down the Presidents Cup automatic qualifiers, question whether Team USA is better without Bryson, explain the PGA Tour’s new match-play playoff format, and hear an unbelievable first-hole-in-one story on a par 4.
