Chapter 1: What is the main topic of the best PGA Championship draft?
Be the right club. Be the right club today.
That's better than most.
How about him? That is better than most. Better than most.
Expect everything.
ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the no laying up podcast solly here got another draft best of major championships you guys seem to really dig uh when we drafted our favorite majors best majors uh into our collection we did it again for the pga championship very different exercise we break down all of that here uh as we get into it we got three new judges this time around.
So stick around to the end to see who actually wins the greatest collection draft of PGA championships. We might as well just do these for all four majors this year, assuming this is going to continue to be a hit. So thank you very much for tuning in. We'll give a shout out to our friends at Titleist, of course. Golf ball fitting. Massively important. Just ask Cameron Young.
Last summer at the Wyndham, Cam moved into the Titleist Pro V1X Double Dot Golf Ball, a custom performance option that he had already provided feedback on to Titleist R&D during development. It paid off immediately. Cam went out and won by six this week, or excuse me, that week.
Since the move, he's racked up nine top 10 finishes in 14 PGA Tour starts, won three times, including Sunday at Doral, and of course the Players Tour. In March, he's having a career year with his approach play, currently tracking towards career best in strokes game approach, proximity, and greens and regulation. Check out all the stats.
He's basically been the second best player in the world, according to True Strokes Game, Data Golf, whatever you want to judge it by, since he switched into this golf ball, and there's no signs of him stopping. He said it best about the new golf ball. This makes golf easier for me, and it looks very easy for him.

Chapter 2: How do the hosts prepare for the PGA Championship draft?
Go to Titleist.com to learn more. You can also check out the Titleist YouTube channel and the behind-the-scenes look into Cam's journey through testing and fitting into the double dot as well. So without any further delay, here's our draft of best PGAs.
all right we're back you guys are back for some more punishment after i wiped the slate last go around that's not true oh yeah it was a complete sweep it is kind of true we could we could quibble with how he did it but it is definitely true
Bunch of simps.
We are back here to draft our best PGAs, favorite PGAs. It is, you know, did you want to explain the, if people maybe missed the master's draft, explain kind of the thought process of how we're doing this.
Yeah, I think we started just trying to get people frothed up for the masters, which is, which is turns out very easy to do. Right. And so we're just kind of like, well, you know, let's get in a, in a digital room and just start chopping it up about old masters. Everybody pick your favorites, put together a little collection.
Uh, and then that went well and we kind of painted ourselves into a corner. I feel like where it's like, well, now we gotta do the PGA. Uh, and it's just very different exercise, TC. I mean, this is a, this is a very different situation.
yeah uh i've never felt more confident that the pga should just blow everything up rethink rethink it all a lot of golf courses that don't exist anymore a lot of golf courses in ohio as you mentioned a lot of random places in new york
pga national ncr in august pga national in august that they did in 1987. i learned a little bit about the pga one i learned my memories about this tournament are not nearly as strong as they were uh you know maybe the us opens or even open championships uh a lot of man that really happened that that totally happened A lot of bad AI in this one, too.
I hope you guys didn't use too much AI in this one.

Chapter 3: What are the criteria for selecting the best PGA Championships?
Yeah.
It's going to be a really interesting one because I feel like this is all predicated on your strategy. We might just be running in four different directions here. I don't know how much it's going to be a land grab over the Tiger stuff. Are some people just going to concede that stuff? It's very interesting. Do we know who the judges are?
some so he's gonna dig up so despite being extremely transparent with the process last time these guys did what they do we're sore losers whined about the judges uh corruption simps i believe was the phrase that came about uh no historians as we go to record this one uh we only have one judge officially lined up that is max homa hopefully i still noted tiger simp
that's that's a good point let me look up max homa pj championship results real quick uh we're gonna get some more historical people involved in this one and you know we'll we'll you'll see at the end kind of who our judges are because you'll learn uh we we don't know that as as of recording right now but that's good that's even even more just cook your food tc i'm gonna know i'm worried and we need somebody in the 31 000 because this is a pga of america production here
Here's the only hesitation I have here is just based on the outlandish kind of... you know, childish behavior you guys put forth after the last one, like the chance to act childish between recording and deciding the judges, like trying to, you know, oh, I drafted historical. That means we need to get this guy. I need this guy to be my judge. I can see that coming.
Historical exercise. I think we could gerrymander the judges if we all get to pick one.
No, we're not all picking one. You know what? I might have to outsource this to Cody, I think. Yeah.
Don't do anything. Get him. No, I'm going to get Seth. Get him. Get him in the building. He's got a good one.
He's got a dog in this fight anymore. You have to drop the Keegan one if that's the case. What? Okay, so explain the collection. Again, what are what are we? If we're drafting this, you want the best collection of PGA championships, but kind of explain that that kind of process.

Chapter 4: Which PGA Championships are highlighted as favorites by the hosts?
kind of goaded 25 30 year pro and then four you know he's not he's goaded but he's not not that yeah so they think that that v five will be goaded at golf that's it skips a generation
V. That's really good.
So we said this. We're going to do the draft order for this in order of how you finished in our Masters pool. Not the Masters draft, but our Masters pool that we did ahead of that. You guys let me get Rory and Cam Young at the snake into that.
Who won that? Surprise, surprise. Yeah, that one was rigged too.
I don't know how, but... was rigged he's winning you guys got all the good draft picks and you left me rory and cam young thanks for that you guys left me bryson and john rob i don't know how that yeah that didn't go so well So all that to say the order will be me, then Neil, then TC, then DJ. Randy's unable to be with us today because he is on vacation.
Yeah, he hates the PJs. He's a conjecture to the PJ championship as well.
We will be snaking from there. So DJ will go five, TC six, Neil seven, I'm eight. And then we will repeat the process all the way to four rounds, four rounds, a collection of four PGA championships.
unless we decide to add a fifth yeah unless you really hate your teams like you tried to do at the masters draft which only made my team stronger so do that would you pick up with your last pick when we did max oh that's right i think you beat your whole team for sure you definitely did
any macro pga championship takeaways we want to want to get on the record or you want those just come out naturally match play was sick that's the big one for me it was glory's last chance uh i think added added juice to this major shot last shot i mean yeah choose your own adventure there

Chapter 5: What memorable moments are discussed from past PGA Championships?
Oh, you know where we're going with the first pick.
He's going with Valhalla.
We have the watch. I will see you at Valhalla, okay? Give me the 2000 PGA Championship. Simping. Okay, it's the greatest of our lifetimes.
I can't quibble with it.
The most rewatchable, bad attire, cotton shirts in hot, humid-ass Kentucky in August. So many memorable moments of this one. Tiger running after the putt in the playoff. Bob May shooting 66-66-66 in the final three rounds to not win TCs. That's going to make it more valuable in your count. Tiger's got to make the seven-footer to get into the playoffs. My mom can make that putt.
uh bob may's putt that ken venturi gave up on on the way to the hole on 18. uh the guy the guy allegedly kicking the ball down the hill throwing tiger's ball back in the play tiger play with jack the first couple of days that was jack's last pga almost hold out on friday for eagle on 18 to try to make the cut this is clear cut number one best pga championship of all time uh i'm taking valhalla
Tiger winning three majors in a year is notable.
On his way to the Tiger Slam. Yeah. And that one, this was at least a close one compared to the first two that he won of 2000 at the old course and at Pebble Beach. He won by a combined 23 shots, I think, off the top of my head. So him getting a challenger and having it be Bob May. Trap draw alumnus Bob May.
Trap draw alumnus Bob May. Don't let you forget it.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts strategize their draft picks?
I think he was ranked...
like outside the top 100 at the time uh like 200 to 1 to win the tournament i mean i just think back to like the little stuff like chewing like heavy cbd gum going on he's wearing the aviators he's talking about pel's nines pel's eights you know just with his brothers the caddy he just kind of like pulled off some mental warfare with brooks in that final round it felt like he was just
being very mindful slowing the pace down it was like right before phil turned into a villain and it was like oh my god this guy's a savant and and then the scene it was right after covid the scene on 18 brooks is completely lost in the crowd i thought someone's gonna like blow his knee out he was like all upset afterwards we got the early in the week we got the bryson walking behind brooks
Uh, and Brooke's just be like, Oh God, this fucking guy, you know, while he's like live with Todd Lewis, there was just a, this was a fantastic, fantastic major championship week in general. And then for Phil to win it as the oldest major winner, and then just go on to like turn into the Joker, uh, is it's just something that we need to double click on a little bit more.
So I'm taking that with my second pick.
Also, just, I mean, how unlikely, not only based on his form and his place in the game and all of that, how unlikely it was, but how unlikely for him to win at that golf course too.
Yeah. I mean, it was set up. It was like, I think the longest venue in major history at the time. I don't know if that's been changed since, but.
And it's just, you know, you drive it wild. You have no chance like that type of go hard. 50 year old Phil Mickelson is the last man standing. I'm totally with you. And then I'm like, I need to carve out time. I need to put this on my calendar. Like, guys, I need to block out two weeks. I just need to dive into how this happened because I don't think I've ever really processed it.
How many top 10s on the PGA Tour for Phil in 2021? Zero. Outside of this event, this is only top 10.

Chapter 7: What insights do the judges provide on the draft selections?
I mean, John Daly, ninth alternate. Everybody knows the story. He found out when he was in Memphis the night before. I think he found out at like five o'clock on Wednesday.
he was getting in ended up having to drive straight to uh straight to indiana to get to crooked stick didn't even play a practice round no idea what he's doing nick price was one of the guys that dropped out uh so he ended up hiring his caddy jeff medlin to loop for him and the guy i mean yeah in a sentence ninth alternate comes in out of nowhere with no practice round and wins the pga championship it's whooping up the crowd the guy with the long blonde mullet hitting it
2,000 yards off the tee. I mean, it's just true movie stuff.
Was that there? What'd you say? He was boozing down the stretch to calm his nerves, I thought.
No, that was... I don't think he was in that one.
I think he... Things started to go south in 94. Yeah. PGA Tour season deep dive. He was sober by 94 in theory. He was still getting in fights with people. Yeah, he wasn't doing great.
Yeah.
uh nevertheless we're back in 1991 everything is uh things are great we're on the way up pretty pretty fairy tale stuff i mean just i don't know probably like the biggest uh how is this not a movie moment in golf history one of them you know it's just a like phil's unlikely of a winner but phil's also phil you know this is like uh just even even crazier in a lot of ways
so uh first year on cbs sports in 25 years they've been on abc there you go good ratings boost yeah 76 i think macro question do you think pga i know we've had some random open championship winners but

Chapter 8: Who are the winners of the best PGA Championship draft?
The offenders are scampering into the crowd and all that sort of thing.
I was wondering, what positional need does this fill for you, TC?
Just chaos. Like, just madness. Chaos. You know, characters. Ray Floyd, Gary Player. Notice how no one's wrestling with Ray Floyd. Even the protesters. It's like nobody messed with Ray Floyd ever.
Yeah, yeah. Let's go after Player, not him.
You had Miller Barber finish T5, Charles Cootie, Orville Moody. All the hitters were out there. Floyd shot 74 to win by one.
gosh and it was it was the all-time attendance record uh it was 106 000 for for all days 80 000 for just the four the four rounds of tournament days so it was lit weren't there were any tickets to give away like that's true about that man love to get her if she was there her perspective for sure on the proceedings nationally that was interesting great great selection tc good one
All right. I... God, I love the... I'm surprised this one fell to me. I'm going 1995, gentlemen. Steve Elkington wins in a playoff over Colin Montgomery at Riviera Country Club.
I was hoping this was going to fall to me, Neil.
Awesome course. Just two characters. Just two of the great characters of our time. You know, or before our time. But, I mean, Elk, like the best storyteller in golf. Monty, this is probably... I mean, I know a few U.S. Opens, but this was a tough one for him because he didn't really lose this one. He just got straight up beat. So Elk started six shots back, balls out.
