2025 WWT Championship | Tournament Preview & Picks To Win | Golf State of the Union

·1 hr 11 min·2 clips

Michael Brennan gained strokes in all four major categories on Sunday while leading as a sponsor's exemption rookie.

1. Preferred Lines opens its 2025 Worldwide Technology Championship preview with picks to win, a course guide, and a new sponsor, Golf Guiders, during the fall swing. 2. Hosts Joe Idoni (@TourPicks) and John Haselbauer, who normally handles the course preview, trade takes after a week off following the Black Desert Championship. 3. A new "bullish or bearish" segment asks each host to name something golf-adjacent he is buying and something he is selling. 4. John is bullish on the Internet Invitational as a three-and-a-half-hour YouTube watch with picture-in-picture matches, but bearish on individual golf YouTubers, citing the Luke Kwan situation and Grant Horvat skipping a tournament to make content. 5. Joe is bullish on Michael Brennan, who led as a sponsor's exemption and shot the second-best round of Sunday despite a double on the last hole, and he'd take the over on 0.5 wins in two years. 6. Joe is bearish on a PGA Tour-LIV merger, saying he thinks the tours will meet only at majors. He cites Tom McKibben earning a Masters spot by winning and LIV building entry-level events for world ranking points. 7. Joe expects Bryson DeChambeau's second LIV deal to be the hardest to sign, pointing to his exits from Puma and Cobra and a possible dispute over control of his LIV-owned YouTube channel. 8. In the snake draft of five items for the turn, Joe takes hot dog, beer (Bud Light), sausage egg and cheese, an energy drink (Celsius), and a chicken salad cup. John takes cheeseburger, orange Gatorade, Cliff Bar, a transfusion, and pretzels. 9. John expects El Cardinal to play like a resort course at sea level: par 72 at just under 7,500 yards, with four par fives averaging about 580 and the first and 18th holes both playing about a half stroke under par. 10. Golf bettors and fans who like banter, course-fit handicapping, and fall-swing storylines will enjoy it.
