S13, Ep 10: PGA Tour Drama, Ryder Cup Strategy & Game-Changing Golf Tips with Tom Patri & Nick Bradley

On this episode of Next on the Tee, my guests deliver a powerful blend of golf instruction, PGA Tour analysis, mental game strategies, and insider stories designed to help you play better and think smarter on the course. I've got two of the game’s top instructors—Resident Director of Instruction Tom Patri and world-renowned coach Nick Bradley—to break down the biggest stories in golf and provide actionable golf tips you can take straight to the driving range or the course. Tom Patri kicks things off with a deep dive into the unpredictable nature of the PGA Tour, including the rapid rise and recent struggles of Luke Clanton, plus what we can learn from Shane Lowry following a couple of late-round collapses. He also shares insights on Akshay Bhatia’s surge at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, along with practical instruction on how to handle adversity when the game humbles you. Plus, Tom explains the growing popularity of mini drivers, including how to hit them effectively off the deck—an essential tip for golfers looking to improve their long game. Then, legendary instructor Nick Bradley—coach to major champions like Nick Faldo and Justin Rose, plus European star Paul McGinley—joins the show to discuss the future of professional golf, including the evolving dynamics between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and LIV Golf. Nick shares his perspective on Anthony Kim’s comeback, the Ryder Cup outlook, and what Team USA must do to compete more effectively. He also offers insight into Tiger Woods’ potential pursuit of the U.S. Senior Open, along with how modern data and analytics are reshaping golf instruction today. As always, this episode is packed with golf tips, mental game advice, Tour insights, and engaging golf stories that will help you lower your scores and enjoy the game even more.
