Description:
This week on The Drop, we break down everything you need to know about The Memorial Tournament — from Jack Nicklaus’s Augusta-inspired design to the infamous “Gauntlet” stretch and why firm, fast greens at Muirfield separate contenders from pretenders.

Then we dive deep into the evolution of the modern putter. Blades vs mallets is old news — what’s the deal with zero torque technology? We explore the brands, the science, and whether it’s a game-changer or just a premium placebo.

Plus: this week’s Caffeine Corner gets personal — are you team Starbucks or Dunkin?

We break down the 2025 PGA Championship — key storylines, surprises, and takeaways — and recap our round at Disney’s Lake Buena Vista, where a mindset shift helped Zach post one of his best scores yet.

In our new gear segment Dialed In, we dive into Titleist’s new T-Series irons and what they could mean for your bag. We also unpack the obsession with hero shots — when to go for it, when to play smart, and how your ego might be wrecking your round.
