Golf picks with a bourbon-side detour.
Birdies & Bourbon is a rowdy golf show built around picks, tournament chatter, and wandering clubhouse banter. PGA Tour headlines, Masters speculation, bourbon, wine, hot dogs, and side stories all share the same crowded table.

Birdies & Bourbon is a golf show that sounds built after the round, not before it. The core is still real golf: tournament previews, betting leans, fantasy notes, one-and-done standings, Masters form, player history, and arguments over who is actually ready to win. Recent episodes move through Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Cameron Young, Scottie Scheffler, Xander, Min Woo Lee, Viktor Hovland, Justin Thomas, Gary Woodland, Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth, and Valero or Houston Open angles. The show can get granular when it wants to. Xander’s Augusta record, Scottie’s price, a water ball, or a Valspar finish can carry a whole stretch of talk. Then the steering wheel turns. A Masters preview becomes a conversation about Champions Dinner menus, wine pairings, steak temperatures, merchandise revenue, and how many fans recognized someone from a bit. A Texas Open setup makes room for hot dogs and cocktails. St. Patrick’s Day brings Irish coffee, Clonacilty, corned beef, and Rory major replays in the background. That looseness is the point. Birdies & Bourbon treats golf culture as bigger than leaderboards, with food, bourbon, travel, course gossip, fantasy wagers, and absurd side comments all mixed into the same running conversation. Sweetens Cove gets special attention, especially when Matt Adamski talks schedule news, the bourbon experience, huge greens, lit music-infused play, and one-on-one clubmaking ideas. Augusta gets even more oxygen. The show returns to Masters week, Champions Dinner menus, merchandise lore, and the social theater around the tournament with obvious fascination. Its rhythm is quick and interruptive. A half-serious take can become a joke, then a memory, then a betting thought again. The result is not clean desk analysis. It is a loud golf hang with enough stats to matter and enough chaos to keep the room moving.
Made for: Best for golf fans who follow PGA Tour form, fantasy plays, betting cards, and Masters storylines, but prefer conversation that feels loose rather than polished. It especially fits listeners who enjoy drinks, food, travel, and clubhouse gossip alongside the numbers.
What sets it apart: The show’s edge is its willingness to let golf analysis collide with bourbon, steak, hot dogs, wine, Sweetens Cove lore, and pop-culture tangents. It feels less like a forecast desk and more like a fast, unruly table of golf obsessives arguing through the week.
