Welcome back to another explosive edition of the Quiet Please Golf Podcast — and let’s just say, this week’s episode is less a polite tee-off and more a full-blown bunker buster. We pick up right where we left off from last week’s cliffhanger, and the fireworks start immediately.

First up: Paul Azinger. The man didn’t just dip a toe into controversy — he dove headfirst. Azinger’s comments about online golf instruction had the golf world clutching pearls and typing fast. Is swing coaching via social media helping or harming the modern game? Zinger didn’t mince words, and neither did we.

Then came the Rory McIlroy bombshell — and no, not his 330-yard drives. We’re talking about his searing remarks regarding the PGA’s direction and its ties to the soon-to-be HQ in Frisco. Whether you agree or not, Rory laid it all out with vintage Irish fire, and the implications for the sport’s power structure are massive.

And while the men were tossing verbal grenades, Lottie Woad was out there dropping real ones — fairway missiles and clinical putts — en route to victory at the Women’s Irish Open. The amateur phenom didn't just win; she conquered a loaded field with poise that belied her years. A future superstar? We say yes.

Over at the John Deere Classic, the theater was electric — a finish packed with drama, grit, and putts that felt like destiny. We break down the defining moments and what they mean for the FedEx Cup race.

And that’s all before we even touch on Royal Portrush — because trust us, what’s brewing in Northern Ireland deserves its own segment. Grab your headphones and maybe a helmet — the Quiet Please Golf Podcast is teeing off loud this week.

On this week’s episode of the Quiet Please Golf Podcast, the panel kicks things off with a deep dive into Aldrich Potgieter’s impressive win at the Detroit Golf Club, where the 20-year-old South African showcased poise and precision well beyond his years to claim his maiden PGA Tour victory. We then shift focus to the Detroit Golf Club’s ambitious $16 million renovation plan, exploring what’s in store for the historic venue and how it may reshape future tournaments there. From course changes to mental games, Rory McIlroy’s recent struggles raise questions about his headspace—has the pressure gotten to him, or is this just a blip? The crew also weighs in on Paul Azinger’s spicy take that golf instruction has gotten “out of control”—is he onto something, or just yelling at clouds? Finally, we take a look ahead to the Open Championship, highlight a few dark horse picks, and ask the important question: who doesn’t want to root for Captain America himself, Patrick Reed? (Okay, okay—don’t all answer at once…)

On this week’s episode of the Quiet Please Golf Podcast, we dive into Keegan Bradley’s emotional comeback win in Connecticut — but was it really a comeback, or did Tommy Fleetwood hand it to him with a Sunday stumble? We discuss. Plus, the Ryder Cup chatter is heating up: Should Keegan be a playing captain? Andy Hydorn weighs in, while Allen ruffles feathers with his spicy take on the finishing holes at TPC River Highlands. Over on the LPGA Tour, Minjee Lee notched her third major at the KPMG Women’s PGA — a dominant performance, but Boston Bob has an interesting take on this one. And of course, no week is complete without the LIV Report — we break down who cashed in, who’s coasting, and what it all means. Tune in, tee up, and enjoy the conversation.
