Around the Clubhouse
Welcome to your place for all the light-hearted golf content you need.  We will be going around the clubhouse, reacting to many of the viral golf moments of the past week.  From pro golf to your horrific swing, if it makes you laugh, then it may show up. This week we look into what colleges provide the PGA with the most golfers, and a few 'watch out' moments.
What College Sends the Most Players to the pga
Georgia
The Bulldogs don't just have an unstoppable football program, but they also have sent multiple big-name players to the PGA over the years. Â Kevin Kisner, Brendon Todd, Chris Kirk and Brian Harman are just the start.
UGA has three current LIV players in Patrick Reed, Hudson Swafford and former Master's champ Bubba Watson. Â Harris English, Davis Thompson, Sepp Straka and Russel Henley are also no slouches! Â Greyson Sigg finishes off the large list of UGA pros.
Coach Chris Haack has put his magical golf spell on so many prospects and will likely be watching many more of his former players on Tour for years to come.
There is strength in numbers and the Bulldogs have plenty of numbers in pro golf.
Texas
UT is another school that is produced not only many players but really, really good players. Â Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler are the two prominent names that come to mind when thinking about Longhorn golf, and for good reason, but there are a few other names too.
Doug Ghim, Dylan Frittelli, Beau Hossler and Kramer Hickock are four well-known guys that played their college ball in Austin. Â Jhonattan Vegas joins youngsters Pierceson Coody and Cole Hammer as a few more Texas golfers that have made it to the pros.
Scottie and Spieth alone make UT one of the most competitive colleges in these rankings.
Oklahoma State
Viktor Hovland and Ricky Fowler lead the way for the Cowboys, coming out above their in-state rival Sooners in my opinion.
Young Austin Eckroat is a recent OSU grad that has been on a tear lately, joined by Kevin Tway and Alex Noren as Cowboys on the Tour.
Matthew Wolf and Taylor Gooch are the two boys from Stillwater on LIV, deepening the impressive squad of Oklahoma State.
Stanford
When thinking about Stanford golf, the only answer is Tiger Woods. Â Although the GOAT makes them much stronger than they would be without him, there are still multiple other names in pro golf.
A few young tour players include Patrick Rodgers, Brandon Wu, Joey Bramlett and Mav McNealy, and the depth really comes when looking at the prospect of Michael Thorbjornsen.
The young stars paired with Tiger make a really strong team for the Cardinal.
Arizona State
ASU has a star-studded duo leading the way of Jon Rahm and Phil Mickelson. Â Although not as strong as some of the other schools, there are still a few names for the Sundevils that stand out.
Paul Casey and Pat Perez are two LIV players from ASU, paired with Chez Reavie, who had tons of success this week in Connecticut.
Honorable Mentions
- Wake Forest
- Georgia Tech
- Alabama
- Arizona
- Florida
- CAL
Golf Knockout Moments
Even the best of the best have moments of embarrassment. Â Scottie Scheffler, world number 1, mashed a drive and released the club, just for it to smash him right in the nose. Â Poor Scottie.
And one! Â At least he took it like a champ and didn't flop to the ground like Lebron would have. Â Golf may be more dangerous than you think... watch out for not only flying balls but also dropped clubs.
Way way way... wayyyy too much trust here. Â Would you even trust Tiger Woods to hit that shot... let alone your random friend that is currently 12 over after 4.
That is gonna leave a mark sheesh. Â Can't even imagine the pain. Â That makes a Razor scooter to the shin seem like nothing. Â At least it didn't go any higher at least.
Golfer to Root for this Week
Ryan Brehm
Following a Keegan Bradley win just a short drive from where he grew up, why not go back to that same narrative?
Ryan Brehm is a Michigan State Spartan alumni (go green) and grew up not far from Detroit. Â The Rocket Mortgage takes place at Detroit Golf Club, making this a home game for the 37-year-old.
Ryan has six professional wins in his career, one being a PGA Tour event. Â He has made back-to-back cuts at this event and will be looking to succeed once again in his home state.
