Joaquin Niemann's Win at Genesis Capped Wild Week of Golf News

From Phil Mickelson's Saudi comments, to Tiger's appearance, it was a big week in the golf world. In this new episode, the hosts break it all down.

It was a wild weekend at Riviera, where Joaquin Neiman pulled a wire-to-wire victory, and host Alex Lauzon correctly predicted his first winner of the year.

The Genesis Invitational also meant that host Tiger Woods would be present, and Alex's hopes and dreams continue to be dashed, as Woods refuses to put a timeline on his return.
