The LPGA heads to the French Alps for the season's next major, and we're breaking down everything you need to know before the 2026 Amundi Evian Championship. We discuss the players best suited for Evian's unique test, our favorite storylines, and who we're picking to win the season's fourth major. Before looking ahead, we relive one of the wildest finishes in major championship history as Grace Kim's unforgettable eagle-birdie-eagle closing stretch and playoff heroics delivered her first major title at Evian.
Plus, it's time for a midseason check-in on our preseason LPGA Draft! We update the standings, consider trades and officially decide the punishment awaiting this year's loser. While Marc finds himself searching for a miracle turnaround, Tom has to answer for an egregious draft error that may jeopardize the entire game.

Aussie Royalty in the house! Tom and Marc are joined by LPGA star and major champion Hannah Green. With the KPMG Women's PGA Championship returning to Hazeltine National for the first time since 2019, who better to preview the tournament than the winner of that championship 7 years ago?
Hannah reflects back on that life-changing week at Hazeltine (her first LPGA victory), gives a preview of what to expect from the course this week, and shares why she thinks she's been so successful in 2026. The guys then put Hannah in the hot seat and ask her rapid fire questions about her Australian counterparts and travel buddies (Best trash talker? Best cook? Most likely to miss their tee time?).
