On this Tuesday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams turns the page from the West Coast swing and looks ahead to what makes the Florida swing such a different test. More wind, more water, and a style of golf that can punish you fast. First, Ron Green Jr. from Global Golf Post joins Gary in studio to recap what stood out on the West Coast, what the TOUR’s early-season rhythm could look like going forward, and why Rory McIlroy feels like he’s playing a smarter, more complete brand of golf right now. They also talk Scottie Scheffler, including the slow starts that have shown up lately and why it’s something to watch without turning it into a panic button. Then Andy Johnson from ‪@FriedEggGolf‬ stops by to keep the Rory conversation going, explain what makes Florida golf so brutal even when the wind “doesn’t look that bad,” and share what he finds most redeeming about this stretch on the schedule. Andy also gives his top three courses in Florida and makes the case for a public spot that’s worth the trip even if you’re not a die-hard golf nut. 5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (Channel 92).
