Summary

It’s a loaded field at Riviera Country Club so we’ve brought PGA Tour Radio’s Doug Bell into the fold. Doug and our own Mark Immelman are both on site this week to cover the action from Southern California. Tiger Woods has never notched a win at Riviera, a course he’s played many times and made his PGA Tour debut at as a 16-year-old amateur in 1992. Is this the year he finally wins at a course with so much personal history (4:10)? Rory McIlroy has taken the World No. 1 title from Brooks Koepka, what brought Rory to that level and how can he keep a hold of the coveted title (8:20)? The now No. 2 player in the world is Brooks Koepka, should we be concerned about his slow start to the season post-surgery (16:30)? Justin Thomas is the current No. 1 in the Fedex Cup, what can we expect from him this week (20:45)? The gang also delves into whether 3-time winner Bubba Watson could be a dark horse candidate to win this week (27:40). Phil Mickelson is coming off an impressive run at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the crew discusses what he needs to do in order to succeed this week (31:40). It sounds weird but this week Jon Rahm might be underrated. The Spaniard has been on a worldwide tear recently. A player trending in the other direction is Dustin Johnson, should we be buying low on DJ, or invest in Jon Rahm (34:40)? Find out on this special Monday edition of The First Cut. ————————— 'First Cut' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
