Today our hosts, Rafael Kalamat and Mike Bleackley speak with Gary Williams, host of 5 Clubs Golf Podcast and SiriusXM's PGA Tour Radio personality.

We recap the World Golf Championship (WGC) Dell Technologies Match Play at Austin Country Club where Sam Burns drummed Cam Young (6&5) and Rory McIlroy defeated Scottie Scheffler in the consolation match.

The golf ball and bifurcation.... this topic is hot and we exchanged feedback on the complexities of this issue. Michael Whan of the USGA randomly called into Michael Breed's show having a spirited conversation on why the ball should be controlled, we reference this because it was entertaining and educational. The future of the game is at stake. Gary shared concise feedback on why the ball should be limited for top level PGA Tour professionals.

Of course, with The Masters around the corner we talked about that too. This years event bodes will for drama with the LIV Golf members showing up to Augusta National Golf Club to compete for the green jacket. We have some laugh-out-loud moments on this topic.

Enjoy the pod. We sure did. Gary has been on the pod 4 times now and never disappoints with his insights, encyclopedic knowledge of golf and its characters.

Gaudet has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs to share her golf knowledge, and has hosted golf programming and segments on lifestyle, travel and the 19th hole. She has spoken at numerous international sports and business conferences, including the International Sports Conference – Geneva, Asian Pacific Golf Summit – India, European Golf Course Owners Association – Austria, Golf Inc., and many corporate events.

Join hosts Rafael Kalamat and Michael Bleackley as they talk to PGA champion Len Earl Mattiace. He  is an American professional golfer, formerly of the PGA Tour and now playing on the PGA Tour Champions.  

Mattiace was born in Mineola, New York. He attended Nease High School in Ponte Vedra, Florida. He graduated from Wake Forest University in 1990 with a degree in Sociology. While at Wake Forest, he played on the team that won the NCAA Division I Golf Championship in 1986. He turned pro later in 1990.  

Mattiace first gained notability when he surged into contention in the final round of the 1998 Players Championship. Trailing by one shot going into the par-3 17th hole, he hit his tee shot into the water, his third shot into a bunker, and his fourth shot into the water. He ended up with a quintuple-bogey 8 on the hole and finished in a tie for fifth, four strokes behind the eventual winner Justin Leonard.  

Mattiace's career year was 2002, when he earned wins at the Nissan Open (his 220th PGA Tour start) and the FedEx St. Jude Classic. In 2003, he contended in the Masters Tournament by shooting a 65 in the final round which put him into a playoff with Mike Weir. On the first playoff hole, Mattiace found himself stymied by trees when his approach drifted offline. Weir needed only a bogey to secure the victory and Mattiace finished second, earning $648,000 in prize money. Shortly after the 2003 season, Mattiace's career was threatened by a skiing accident and torn ACLs in both knees.  Mattiace was ranked as high as 24th in the Official World Golf Ranking, but was not fully exempt on the PGA Tour after 2005. 

He made his PGA Tour Champions debut in March 2018 at the Cologuard Classic. He currently resides in Jacksonville, Florida. Mattiace is naturally left-handed but plays right-handed.
