Brooks at the Farmers Insurance Open & LPGA Momentum | Frank Nobilo & Taylor Twellman | 5 Clubs

On this Wednesday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams breaks down what Brooks Koepka’s return means for the PGA TOUR — and why the “win” might be as much about the return itself as it is about results. Gary also previews the LPGA season, highlighting the tour’s depth, the importance of star power, and why Nelly Korda remains a major driver of mainstream attention as the LPGA continues evolving under new leadership. Frank Nobilo from CBS joins Gary to put Scottie Scheffler’s dominance in context — including the sensible way to talk about Scheffler in the same breath as Tiger Woods (and even Jack Nicklaus), what truly separates the greats, and why “closing on Sundays” is the common thread. Frank also weighs in on golf’s bigger-picture future: the PGA TOUR’s potential schedule contraction, how “less can feel like more,” rotating playoff venues, and why relegation/elevation matters to the product (and the spirit) of the game. Later, Taylor Twellman stops by ahead of the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, where he’s competing alongside LPGA stars and celebrities. Twellman shares a powerful story about how golf helped save him after a career-ending concussion, why the sport’s mental demands are uniquely challenging, and how he balances focus, flow, and execution over a long round. Plus: Dogs of the Week and picks to close out the show. Listen to 5 Clubs on PGA TOUR Radio (SiriusXM Channel 92) and watch on Golf Channel.)

Scottie Era is here | Sean Zak & Mel Reid | 5 Clubs

Scottie Scheffler just notched win No. 20, and Gary Williams makes the case that this isn’t a hot streak — it’s the start of the Scheffler era. We break down the historic pace (20 PGA TOUR wins and 4 majors before age 30), the margins that separate him from the field, and why the comparisons to golf’s all-time greats keep getting louder. Plus, Golf Magazine’s Sean Zak joins the show to discuss what makes Scheffler so hard to beat, why his “bad days” barely exist, and what that dominance does to everyone else chasing him. We also touch on Tommy Fleetwood’s mindset and what makes him one of the most relatable stars in the game. New 5 Clubs contributor Mel Reid joins Gary to talk LPGA storylines and the evolution of women’s golf coverage — including why more live coverage and better broadcast tech matter, how the LPGA can build stronger fan engagement, and the challenges (and upside) of a global tour schedule. Mel also shares her perspective on playing more iconic venues, where mixed events fit (and don’t fit), and what stands out most about Nelly Korda heading into the season.
