Sahith Theegala is a great sleeper pick for the PGA Championship
I'm looking at [Sahith] Theegala... probably in that 100 to 125 to one range that I kind of like this week. I mean again, you're talking about he's probably 150 to one ish... he's a guy that has been finding his game and getting more comfortable in terms of [major] setups.

I am so happy that I'm alive, that I am blessed to be able to do a sports podcast while Nikola Jokic is playing basketball because holy shit, he is the best. ... remind everyone that yes, I am the best player in the world. And that's a fact.
It is better to guard Nikola Jokic with average defenders than one elite defender like Rudy Gobert
I think it's almost better to guard Jokic with like one and a half slash two average defenders than it is to guard him with one good defender [like Rudy Gobert].
The Timberwolves look like they are still exhausted from the Tom Thibodeau era and have officially hit a wall
The Timberwolves actually, they look better at times defensively with [Rudy] Gobert on the bench... I think maybe we need to have the conversation about the Timberwolves. They look like they're still exhausted from when [Thibodeau] coached 'em back in 2018. They hit the wall after game two. I feel like this is it. Classic [Thibodeau] just ran its guys too hard and now they can't win another playoff game.

He uses these single length irons... Nobody's using single length irons except Bryson. I just think he's gotta get away from that and at least try something different with the irons. 'cause the iron play is just not good enough right now to win major championships.
Viktor Hovland will win the 2026 Open Championship
My pick is gonna be Victor Hovland... I just like the way Victor's played. Got the win over Scotty Scheffler. That's gotta help the confidence... I think Victor Hovland has found something. He's the guy that rides the confidence wave as well. I think Hovland's the open champion.
Wyndham Clark is 'free money' for a top 20 finish at the 2026 Open Championship.
Wyndham is a top 10 bet right now. Wyndham is a top 10 bet everywhere. Like everywhere he plays, top 10, very confident... I just think if you're looking at numbers, look at Wyndham Clark and you see a decent number on a top 10, top 20 bet. I think it's kind of free money right now with Wyndham Clark.
