Golf Podcast: next on the tee

<p>On this episode of Next on the Tee, I'm joined by 2013 Senior Open Champion Mark Wiebe and golf equipment innovator David Kelly.</p> <p>Leading things off, Mark Wiebe shares his thoughts on this year's PGA Championship and Aaron Rai's breakthrough victory before taking us back to the 1989 PGA Championship, where he recorded his best finish in a major. Mark reflects on battling some of the greatest players in golf history, including Jack Nicklaus, Seve Ballesteros, Curtis Strange, Tom Watson, Ben Crenshaw, and eventual champion Payne Stewart. He also recounts one of the most remarkable days in golf history at the 1989 U.S. Open, when he and three other players made hole-in-ones on the same hole within a span of roughly 90 minutes. Plus, I ask Mark what changes he would make if he were PGA Tour Commissioner for a day, and his candid thoughts on the future of professional golf.</p> <p>Following Mark is longtime golf equipment expert and Kelly &amp; Co Golf Founder David Kelly. With more than 45 years in the golf equipment industry and experience with companies including LAB Golf and Makefield Putters, David takes us inside the evolution of putter technology—from classics like the Ping Anser and Wilson 8802 to today's custom-built designs. He explains the truth behind "zero torque" putters, why a few grams of weight can be the difference between making and missing a 10-foot putt, and how golfers can optimize feel, balance, and performance through custom fitting. David also shares the story behind his handcrafted Kelly &amp; Co Golf putters and the personalization options that make each one unique.</p> <p>If you're a fan of PGA Championship history, major championship golf, golf legends, putting instruction, custom golf equipment, and insights that can help you improve your game, this is an episode you won't want to miss.</p> <p>Next on the Tee—where golf legends live and your game gets better.</p> <p>#NextOnTheTee #GolfPodcast #MarkWiebe #DavidKelly #PGAChampionship #AaronRai #USOpen #SeniorOpenChampion #MajorChampionshipGolf #JackNicklaus #TomWatson #SeveBallesteros #PayneStewart #BenCrenshaw #CurtisStrange #ChampionsTour #PGATour #GolfHistory #GolfLegends #GolfStories #GolfInstruction #PuttingTips #PutterFitting #CustomPutters #LABGolf #MakefieldPutters #KellyAndCoGolf #GolfEquipment #GolfTechnology #GolfGear #GolfLife #GolfCommunity #GolfFans #GolfTalk #GolfInterviews #GolfNews #ChrisMascaro #SportsPodcast #ApplePodcasts #SpotifyPodcasts #WhereGolfLegendsLiveAndYourGameGetsBetter</p>

We open up getting you some <b>putting tips</b> starting with the fundamentals like grip, set up, stance, ball position, and shaft lean. Staying with putting, we get into what's missing from <b>Jordan Spieth's putting stroke</b> that helped him rise to World No. 1. From there, Tom shares his thoughts on the PGA Championship, what we saw from <b>Aaron Rai</b>, and what we didn't see from Rory or Scottie.

Tony reflects on Aaron Rai's win at the PGA, and Rai becoming the first Englishman to win the tournament in over a century. We then get into the details from his historic <b>Open Championship</b> victory, his 7 stroke victory in the <b>US Open</b>, captaining Europe to Ryder Cup success in the 1980s, and the unforgettable concession from Jack Nicklaus at the 1969 Ryder Cup that forever became known as “<b>The Concession</b>.” Tony shares incredible stories about competing against golf’s greatest players, his thoughts on the state of the DP World Tour, his relationship with Nicklaus over the years, and the impact of fellow legends like Arnold Palmer and Seve Ballesteros on the game of golf.</p> <p>This episode is packed with golf history, PGA Tour insights, Ryder Cup memories, golf instruction, putting tips, mental game advice, and behind-the-scenes storytelling from two of the game’s most respected voices.

<p>Folks, this week’s episode of Next on the Tee is a really special one…and an emotional one too. I’m joined by three tremendous guys who have great stories to share and who remind us what this game — and the friendships that come from it — are all about.</p> <p>First up is 2019 PGA Tour Champions Player of the Year Scott McCarron. Scott has become a great friend over the years, someone who is very important to me. Scott opens up about the toughest battle of his life after recently being diagnosed with cancer. He shares how he discovered it, the frightening moments that followed when his test results came back, and the treatment journey he’s now taking on with courage, faith, and determination.</p> <p>Then Scott’s longtime friend, UCLA teammate, fraternity brother, and fellow PGA Tour Champions winner Brandt Jobe jumps into the conversation. You'll hear stories from their lifelong friendship, the time Brandt beat Scott by a stroke on Tour, and Scott returning the favor a few weeks later. Plus, the injuries Brandt has overcome, his battle to get back out on Tour, and his son Jackson Jobe making his way back from Tommy John surgery to pitch this year for the Detroit Tigers.</p> <p>I close things out with another terrific visit from Clark Dennis, who looks back on his great play at the 1994 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, his win at the 2024 Costa Navarino Legends Tournament in Greece with his son on the bag, and his successes playing over on the European Legends Tour.</p> <p>It’s an episode filled with friendship, perseverance, gratitude, great golf stories, and the kind of conversations that remind us why we love this game so much.</p> <p>Please like and subscribe so we can get the show in front of more great golf fans just like you.</p> <p>#GolfPodcast #NextOnTheTee #PGATourChampions #ScottMcCarron #BrandtJobe #ClarkDennis #GolfLegends #GolfStories #GolfLife #GolfCommunity #GolfFans #GolfTalk #GolfInterviews #ChampionsTour #USOpen #Oakmont #OakmontCountryClub #EuropeanLegendsTour #SeniorGolf #GolfChannel #GolfInstruction #GolfTips #MentalGame #GolfMotivation #CancerAwareness #SportsPodcast #BestGolfPodcasts #GolfNews #GolfMedia #GolfContent #GolfWorld #PGA #GolfHistory #DetroitTigers #JacksonJobe #CollegeGolf #UCLAGolf #GolfFriends #InsideTheRopes #WhereGolfLegendsLive #YourGameGetsBetter</p>

<p>In this episode of <b><i>Next on the Tee</i></b>, we focus on one thing every golfer needs as the temperatures rise—comfort on the course.</p> <p>First, I’m joined by <b>Teddy Lynn, Founder of Heathlander Golf</b>. Teddy shares the real story behind building a golf shoe and apparel brand from the ground up, including the setbacks, the lessons learned, and the persistence it took to get it right—even buying back thousands of pairs of shoes along the way. That journey led to Heathlander winning Best New Product at the 2025 PGA Merchandise Show. We also dive into what makes their products stand out and what’s coming next.</p> <p>Then, <b>Dave Williams, Co-Founder and President of 2UNDR</b>, joins the show. We talk about solving one of golf’s most annoying problems—on-course discomfort—and how their innovative designs and moisture-wicking fabrics keep you cool, dry, and focused. Dave also shares insights on their 2026 lineup, how they landed Rickie Fowler as a brand ambassador, plus how other guys on the Tour are customers as well.</p> <p>It’s a fun and insightful episode with two founders who are making the game more comfortable from the ground up—literally.</p> <p>Tune in to <i>Next on the Tee</i>…where golf legends live and your game gets better.</p> <p>#golf #golflife #golfpodcast #golfshow #golfcontent #golfgear #golfapparel #golfshoes #golfstyle #golfcomfort #golftips #golfadvice #improveyourgame #playbettergolf #golfers #golfcommunity #golfinstruction #pgamerchandiseshow #golfinnovation #golfbrands #entrepreneurlife #startupstory #founderstory #businessofgolf #heathlander #2UNDR #rickiefowler #moisturewicking #performancewear #NextOnTheTee</p>
