Big Boy Pants Golf joins Jake and Digsies for this huge US Open preview episode. Follow him on Youtube & Twitter @bigboypantsgolf and as always follow along with 54 Live Podcast @54LivePod on Twitter, IG, TikTok & now YouTube. 0:00-16:00 : We discuss the Adam Hadwin situation from this weekend's RBC Canadian Open. Should LIV Golf start an all Canadian team, and who would make it? Jon Rahm's comments on "getting his start on the PGA Tour" does that mean he's heading to LIV in two weeks when they go to Spain? Jay Monahan's health issue, and finally was Rory used? 16:00-END : Then we get to the main event, The 2023 US Open Preview. We talk about Los Angeles Country Club, it's quirks and tidbits. Why it has taken so long to get a US Open. What holes this week will be the most challenging. Par 3s ranging from 80 yards to 300 yards. Who we think will win the event. And then we finish with some fun bets. Will Digsies have to bic his head, or will Big Boy Pants Golf have to shave his, or will it be as simple as Jake having to ask out an attractive female next week.
*** EMERGENCY PODCAST *** It has happened. The PGA Tour & LIV Golf have merged under the same umbrella. The PIF will be making a large investment into the new business and the in fighting and beef between the two organizations is over, or at least should be. Jake & Digsies try to make sense of this announcement, an hour after it was released.
HVIII got the job done in DC. We spend the opening segment of the show giving Varner his praise. Torque is speeding up the LIV Golf team standings and we think they are a team to watch for years to come. Then, we get to the juicy part of the show. Matthew Wolff has stepped away from Smash GC and is looking to join a different team. Jake and I speculate at what happened, and there's a few scenarios we come up with. We wrap up looking at the current Ryder Cup standings and why Brooks needs to be on Team USA!
While Digsies was down in Pinehurst tearing up No. 2 with a 97, Jake held down the fort with a solo episode to talk PGA Championship. Brooks Koepka took home his 5th Major Championship on Sunday, putting him on a whole different level. He's the King Of New York, winning 3 of his Majors up here and once again showed us why he's The Alpha Male of Golf. Not too mention, he's the first LIV Golf golfer to win a major, and with this major win he gave MAJOR credibility to the LIV Golf league.
Digsies is on the injured reserved this week, so Jake called in a favor and got YouTube star Big Boy Pants Golf to do the show with him. They discuss LIV Golf Tulsa and much much more.

We are back to recap LIV Golf Tucson. 0:00-37:43 - Danny Lee won in a 4-man playoff. Was it another week lacking star power? Is Siwan Kim on the same tour as everyone else? The Fireballs won the team event but it was another blow out. 37:44-49:10 - There was a players meeting before the event to discuss a number of things. LIV is tightening up the purse strings, player travel, accommodations, media food, etc. Is this a good or bad thing? The teams are starting to be their own entity, and get their own corporate sponsors. 49:11-56:00 - Ratings were down from the first event, and continue to be pretty bad. What can LIV do to get more viewers? What do we grade the 2023 LIV season so far? Is it time to panic? Make sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
