CBS’s Johnson Wagner and Brendon de Jonge join Gary Williams in studio on 5 Clubs to break down a big week for golf’s young guns and look ahead to 2027.
The guys react to Ben James’ clutch eagle on the 72nd hole and his playoff win, and explain why a wedge game is often the last piece young players develop. They also discuss what makes Blades Brown, Jackson Koivun and Ben James special. Then they rank five Americans by how likely each is to make the 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup team in Ireland: Blades Brown, Ben James, Jackson Koivun, Michael Brennan and Chris Gotterup.
The conversation also covers:
- Which European newcomers could crack Luke Donald’s team
- Why both guests picked Jon Rahm to chip away at Scottie Scheffler
- Whether a Rory McIlroy Masters three-peat would top a Scheffler career Grand Slam at Pebble Beach
- Patrick Reed and Casey Jarvis heading to the PGA TOUR
- The best shots they saw in person in 2026
5 Clubs airs live on Golf Channel and SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio.
