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 Fried Egg Golf 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.

On this Monday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams recaps a packed sports weekend before turning the page to golf, including a full look back at The Genesis Invitational and what it told us about where the game is headed.

Gary starts with the moment that stole the weekend outside of golf, then rolls into the winners around the world and the headline story from Riviera. Jacob Bridgeman breaks through for his first PGA TOUR win, and Gary explains why his performance was so rare in the ShotLink era and why closing with a lead can be its own kind of pressure. From there, Gary digs into Scottie Scheffler’s fight after an ugly start, the efficiency that makes him so dangerous even when he doesn’t have his best stuff, and how Rory McIlroy’s shot-making is starting to look like the kind of artistry that travels to Augusta and Shinnecock.

Then, Billy Horschel joins the show ahead of TGL action with Atlanta Drive. Billy gives a real update on where his body is after surgery, what it’s been like building endurance again, and why he feels he’s trending in the right direction. He also talks about why the indoor, prime-time environment fits him, how the nerves in TGL compare to TOUR pressure, and what it means to be an entertainer while still showing real skill. Billy also gets into the urgency of the next couple of weeks, his mindset chasing opportunities like The Players and the Masters, and what he believes the PGA TOUR needs to protect as it evolves, especially when it comes to cuts, access, and creating real opportunity for members.

After that, Michael Bamberger joins Gary for a wide-ranging conversation on golf’s most relentless competitors, Scottie Scheffler’s mindset and focus, and what separates the truly rare personalities at the top. Michael also shares the story behind the 40th anniversary re-release of his first book, including what’s new in this edition and why those long relationships in golf still matter.

Gary closes the show with thoughts on the LPGA’s global start to the season and why it matters that the best players are winning early, even when the events are happening far from the U.S. viewing window. With the West Coast Swing now in the rearview, the PGA TOUR heads to Florida, and the shift in conditions and scoring resistance is about to get real.

On this Wednesday “getaway day” edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams sets the table for a loaded stretch of golf and where the PGA TOUR is headed next.

Gary opens with thoughts on the grind of pro golf and what’s coming at Riviera, then shifts to Tiger Woods’ latest comments, especially the small but meaningful note that the Masters isn’t off the table.

Next, Gabby Herzig from The Athletic joins to break down what she’s seeing from Scottie Scheffler as 2026 continues to look like a “maximum ceiling” year. Healthy and nearly impossible to slow down. Gabby also reflects on Collin Morikawa’s win at Pebble Beach and what it revealed about his mindset, plus why the mental side of the game is often what decides who gets back over the line.

From there, the conversation moves into the bigger TOUR and LIV picture. Gabby shares what she heard from players about Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed returning, why top players still care deeply about beating the best week to week, and how the game is still trying to get to its most competitive, unified version again.

Then Gil Hanse joins for a detailed look at one of the biggest design projects in golf. The complete rebuild of The Links at Spanish Bay. Gil explains the aggressive timeline, how the team is reshaping the corridors and green complexes, why expanding greens creates more strategy and more interesting hole locations, and what fans can expect from a routing change designed to maximize the coastline views and that true ground game feel.

The episode wraps with Dogs of the Week, updated standings, and the crew’s The Genesis Invitational picks heading into Riviera. 5 Clubs airs on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio (Channel 92).

On this Tuesday edition of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams is joined by Emilia Doran, live from Riviera, to reflect on the dramatic finish at the AT&T Pro-Am at Pebble Beach and preview The Genesis Invitational at one of the PGA TOUR’s most iconic venues.

Emilia shares her perspective from inside the ropes on what separated the best players at Pebble, including Scottie Scheffler’s late Sunday charge and Collin Morikawa’s return to the winner’s circle. Drawing from her experience walking alongside the game’s elite, she explains how decision-making, commitment, and shot variety continue to define performance at the highest level, and how working alongside a caddie can make the difference in pressure moments late in a round.

The conversation then shifts to The Genesis Invitational at Riviera, where Emilia breaks down why the course remains one of the TOUR’s most respected tests and how softer conditions could impact scoring this week. She also discusses how being around the world’s best players has shaped her own approach to competition and course management.

Later, USGA President Fred Perpall joins Gary to discuss the continued growth of the game and how new players are entering through non-traditional formats before transitioning to green-grass golf. He also shares insight into the USGA’s anchor site strategy for the U.S. Open and how the USA Development initiative is helping create opportunities for the next generation of elite American golfers.

Gary closes with this week’s Book Club, featuring The Inner Game of Tennis and The War of Art, two reads focused on performance, mindset, and managing pressure.
