Xander Schauffele quieted the critics this week by taking home his first career major at the PGA Championship at Valhalla in Louisville, Kentucky. He held off a charging Bryson DeChambeau with a clutch birdie putt on the 72nd hole to hoist the Wanamaker trophy.
The crazy thing about the week was that Xander's victory wasn't the top story. Scottie Scheffler got arrested on Friday morning outside of the golf club in one of the most bizarre stories in recent memory from professional golf. Scottie still managed to finish in the top 10 with all the distractions going on, which is an impressive feat in its own right.
We will dive into all kinds of topics from the PGA Championship and discuss the dominance of Nelly Korda as she won again on the LPGA Tour this week, making it 6 wins in 7 events for the best women's player in the world.

Bob Parsons, the founder and CEO of Parsons Xtreme Golf, better known as PXG, was in the twin cities and we were lucky enough to get to sit down with him for an interview.
Bob talked about his childhood growing up in Baltimore and how his combat time in Vietnam as part of the Marine Corps molded him into the person he is today. Bob is one of the most successful businessmen in America, founding multiple companies, including GoDaddy and now PXG Golf.
He gets into his time in Vietnam and battling PTSD in the years and decades following and how he helps other veterans with both his story and donations to various charities. Bob and his wife Renee have multiple philanthropic causes they are passionate about helping and making a positive impact in the lives of many people.
Bob talked about his passion for golf and how that led him to start PXG. PXG is one of the few golf companies to come along in the last decade with staying power in an industry dominated by companies that have been around forever. PXG has been able to make their imprint in the golf club and apparel world by doing things differently, with a direct to consumer approach rather than putting their clubs in the big box stores. Bob will get into how he got into this business and the challenges that come along with breaking through in the golf industry.
Bob Parsons is an American success story and he has a new best selling book out titled "Fire in the Hole!" The book is full of amazing stories and at the end of this podcast episode he tells one of the funniest stories you will ever hear from his high school days in Baltimore.

Speaking of dominant, Nelly Korda won her 5th straight tournament in women's professional golf. She ties Annika Sorenstam and Nancy Lopez for the most consecutive wins in a row in LPGA Tour history.
