Episode 200: Tour Championship Recap, President's Cup Picks & Realizing We Are Old

Author: Break 80 Podcast September 1, 2026 Duration: 1:06:52
Scottie Scheffler did what Scottie Scheffler does and won the FedEx Cup Championship at East Lake. This capped off another remarkable season for the world's number one player. We will dive into the stats and numbers from Scottie's 2026 season. We will talk some 2026 PGA Tour season, who played well but didn't win, possible Rookie of the Year picks and who disappointed this season. President's Cup picks are days away and we will make our selections for both the International and United States squads as they get ready to head to Chicago at the end of the month. Mike and Tim headed south this weekend to play Somerby Country Club and La Crosse Country Club. Two exceptional clubs, but we found out we are getting old along the way!

The Break80 Podcast is a weekly conversation with Stouds, Mike, and Tim, three friends who find as much to talk about in the game's margins as in its major championships. This isn't just a recap of tour scores; it's a deep dive into the personal stories, the memorable rounds, and the local characters that give golf its texture. You'll hear their own experiences on the course, the good shots and the bad breaks, all framed by a genuine curiosity about what makes the sport compelling. The show actively seeks out the people and places that don't always make the headlines but are essential to the game's heart. It's built on the idea that the pursuit of that magic number-breaking 80-is a universal struggle, a mix of technical challenge and personal narrative. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair in the grill room after a round, where the discussion ranges from equipment quirks to course design, always with a focus on the camaraderie that keeps players coming back. The Break80 crew operates with the understanding that the difference between a 79 and an 80 is everything, a philosophy that colors every story they uncover and every topic they share with their listeners.
