The PGA Tour 2026 season is officially underway, and the storylines are already heating up. In this episode, we break down what makes the start of this season different, why Signature Events matter more than ever, and how early-season tournaments set the tone for the year ahead.

We dive into the cancellation of The Sentry, the importance of non-signature events like the Sony Open, and how the FedEx Cup “Swing Five” impacts player eligibility. The biggest headline of all: Brooks Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour. We unpack the PGA’s Returning Member Program, the financial implications, and what Koepka’s decision could mean for other LIV players.

Whether you closely follow professional golf or just want context for the season ahead, this episode serves as a clear, easy-to-follow primer for what to watch as the PGA Tour ramps up.

In Episode 15 of the Birdie Board Podcast, Corey continues the winter rules series by breaking down the “general area” rules, everything between the tee box and the green (fairway, rough, other teeing areas, and even the wrong green). You’ll learn the most practical rules to save strokes: the 3 minute search clock, lost ball options for pace of play, how to identify a ball properly, what you can and cannot move around your lie, accidental ball movement, embedded ball relief, free relief from cart paths and abnormal course conditions, what to do on the wrong green, the truth about divots, when to take an unplayable, and a few weird ones like animals taking your ball and double hits.

In Episode 14 of the Birdie Board Podcast, Corey continues the winter golf rules series by focusing on the tee box. You’ll learn the official rules (and the practical, real world versions) for late arrival, the 14 club limit, order of play, teeing area boundaries, tee markers, accidents vs. whiffs, advice rules, provisionals for lost balls or out of bounds, and even what you can chip or putt while waiting on the tee.

Corey also shares a quick update on Birdie Board’s progress, recent international downloads, podcast stats, and why TGL is worth watching during the offseason.
