I, I think, so with Michael Brennan, we're talking about a guy who, as of last fall, prior to the Bank of Utah Championship, was supposed to be playing on the Korn Ferry Tour this year.
Wins that event, gets his tour card, and then had a pretty rough start to 2026.
Maybe this is some of the erasure I did on his start of the Masters.
He did not notch a top 20 finish till the Charles Schwab Challenge, where he tied for sixth.
And then little momentum the past couple weeks, tied for 24th at the 3M Open, tied for 15th at the Rocket Classic, and now wins this week.
We had him on last fall after that win.
We talked about everything- Mm-hmm from stat tracking apps to putting wor- putting work and things like that, all the things he's done to work on his game.
You know, f- for, for you just tracking the year for Michael from that win, from the dip in form to where he is now, what do you kinda make o- of this, this inaugural, this debut on the PGA Tour?
Well, I mean, a- after the, the event in Utah, where he just absolutely destroyed the golf course.
I mean, I think he was w- like close to 30 under par.
This guy was, I mean, just demolishing the golf ball at 8,000 feet.
And, and you know, after speaking with him, too, in the interview that we did, I was just kinda blown away at how good he was on the Americans Tour and how many rounds he had under 66.
So in my mind going into the interview, especially coming off of a PGA Tour win, I'm like, "This guy's golf swing is sick.
He's not afraid to go low."
And just his strength of being able to hit it so far, that should translate well to the PGA Tour
