Welcome to week 11 of The Dechambros podcast where two brothers come together to discuss everything happening in the world of golf—along with their own take on gambling picks and their fantasy golf team. In this episode, the brothers dive deep into the latest tournament action, share their wins and losses on the betting front, and preview one of the most exciting tournaments of the year: The Players Championship.
In “Last Week on the PGA Tour”, the brothers break down all the key moments from the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, where Russell Henley claimed victory. The conversation quickly heats up when the topic of Colin Morikawa arises. One brother firmly believes Morikawa struggles to close out tournaments under pressure, arguing that all of his major wins came during the COVID era when crowds were absent, giving him an advantage. The other brother pushes back, defending Morikawa as one of the most talented and consistent players in the game today, insisting that his ability to perform in big moments isn’t in question. This spirited debate showcases their differing opinions on what it takes to be a true contender on the PGA Tour.
The conversation then shifts to a heated discussion about the Ryder Cup and the captaincy of Keegan Bradley. With his impressive form on the course, there’s speculation about whether Bradley will earn a spot as a player on the team, or if he’ll remain in the captain’s role. The brothers dissect Bradley’s current form, weighing his potential to play as one of the top U.S. players versus his leadership qualities, making for a lively discussion about the future of one of the Tour’s more polarizing figures. The segment also covers the unexpected rise of Karl Vilips, who secured his first win at the Puerto Rico Open—highlighting the future of young, rising stars on the PGA Tour.
In “Fantasy Feats & Failures”, the brothers break down their performance in fantasy golf, reflecting on how their teams have fared over the last few weeks. After two consecutive disappointing weeks, this episode marks the first time they’ve seen positive movement up the leaderboard. They get into the details of their roster, discussing which players helped push them forward and who failed to meet expectations. One key talking point is the return of Xander Schauffele, who’s been underwhelming since his comeback. Is the lack of form from one of their top picks a sign of bigger issues ahead? The brothers debate whether Schauffele’s struggles are temporary or if it’s time to make changes.
In “This Week on Tour”, the brothers preview the highly anticipated Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass—one of the most prestigious events on the PGA Tour. With its unique blend of history, iconic holes, and the infamous “Island Green” on the 17th, the brothers discuss what makes the tournament so special and why it’s one of their favorites every year. They take a deep dive into the significance of TPC Sawgrass as the home course for the event, and debate how its challenge compares to other tournaments with rotating venues. They also debate defending champion Scottie Scheffler’s chances to make history by becoming the first player ever to win the Players Championship three years in a row. Will the current world number one continue his dominance, or will the field of top competitors prove too much?
Lastly, in “20s, 10s & 5s”, the brothers recap their recent gambling picks from the past week, discussing what worked, what didn’t, and which bets they hit (or missed). With the Players Championship just around the corner, they make bold predictions for the event, dissecting the odds and making new picks for the upcoming tournament. Whether they’re betting on longshots or playing it safe, their candid and entertaining approach to gambling makes for an exciting conclusion to the episode.
