EP2: Riviera Drama, Rahm’s Ryder Cup Dilemma & The Short Game Blueprint

In Episode 2 of The Draw Club Podcast, Zane Scotland breaks down a big week across both the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, starting with Riviera Country Club and Jacob Bridgeman’s breakthrough win at the Genesis Invitational. Zane dives into what made the victory impressive, the swing fundamentals behind it, and why it is refreshing to see precision and structure triumph in an era obsessed with speed and power. There is also plenty to unpack around Rory McIlroy’s form, Scottie Scheffler’s unusual slow starts, and what it all means as The Masters approaches. Over on the DP World Tour, Zane reflects on the Kenya Open, Casey Jarvis’ career-defining win, and why that two-year exemption changes everything for a young professional. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories from playing Karen Country Club and why old-school practice methods may have made golfers sharper. The episode then turns to the ongoing LIV and DP World Tour tension, including the fines situation, Jon Rahm’s Ryder Cup uncertainty, and what this evolving landscape means for fans and the future of European golf. Finally, Zane answers your short game questions, breaking down how many shots you actually need around the green, why one club might be enough, and the strategy most amateurs overlook when they short-side themselves. Tournament insights, tour politics, swing detail and practical scoring advice — all in one episode.
