2025 Players Recap & An Early Masters Preview with Patrick McDonald

In this episode of Inside Golf Podcast, Andy Lack (@adplacksports) is joined by Patrick McDonald of CBS Sports to recap Rory McIlroy’s victory at the 2025 Players Championship. Andy and Patrick dive into their thoughts on the Creator Classic, Rory’s early week phone incident, and Jay Monahan’s press conference. Then, Andy and Patrick discuss how Rory’s game has changed in 2025, why he’s winning at non-typical Masters courses, and how he’s taken a page out of Scottie Scheffler’s course management book. Andy and Patrick project how the early season success affects his chances at the 2025 majors, and their early predictions for the Masters.BECOME AN INSIDER TODAY: https://www.insidesportsnetwork.com/becomeaninsiderSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://inside-sports-network.beehiiv.com/subscribejoin Betsperts Golf, with code INSIDEGOLF for 25% off: https://betspertsgolf.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
