from The Dan Evans Show · host Dan Evans

Scottie Scheffler is back in the winner’s circle, and the gap between him and Rory McIlroy has become almost comical.Dan and the crew break down Scottie’s latest win, Rory’s rough week, and the point gap that led to one of the strangest stats of the season: the average person is closer to Rory than Rory is to Scottie. They also get into the rumors surrounding Jon Rahm potentially returning to the PGA Tour, what that could mean for LIV Golf, their dream $10,000 golf splurges, whether 12 holes is enough golf, Dan’s case for making golf 27 holes, and the storm damage hitting courses across the Midwest.0:00 Scottie Scheffler wins again0:27 Scottie’s “terrible” season0:48 The ridiculous finishes from Scottie’s slump1:37 Ted Scott’s playoff mustache2:16 The sprinkler incident4:02 Scottie survives the Memphis heat5:25 Rory McIlroy’s rough week8:03 Rory finishes near the bottom8:36 The Scottie vs. Rory gap keeps growing9:00 You’re closer to Rory than Rory is to Scottie10:33 Can anyone stop Scottie in the FedEx Cup?11:23 Jon Rahm back to the PGA Tour?11:45 What would Rahm leaving mean for LIV?13:13 What happens to Anthony Kim?13:43 The money behind a possible Rahm return17:10 The $10,000 golf splurge17:49 Would you buy a country club membership?18:54 Building the ultimate custom golf setup20:04 Dan’s dream golf travel setup23:35 Membership vs. a once-in-a-lifetime golf trip24:04 St Andrews or Pebble Beach?52:35 A brand-new 12-hole golf course53:12 Is 18 holes too much golf?54:23 The sadness of reaching the 18th hole55:47 Golf should be 27 holes57:17 The fix for slow golfers57:45 Should your handicap determine your tees?1:00:44 Dan officially proposes 27-hole golf1:01:09 Midwest storms destroy golf courses1:08:09 Wicker Park Golf Course gets hammered1:09:00 A salute to golf course maintenance crews1:11:52 Are we losing too many golf courses?
