Kent Paisley and Scottie "Worldwide" Leonard preview the 2026 Evian Championship live from Evian-les-Bains, France, where Worldwide is on-site overlooking Lake Geneva. The duo revisit last year's finish — Grace Kim's eagle on 18 to force a playoff, then a chip-in eagle to win it, in what Worldwide calls one of the best closes he's ever watched in any sport — before breaking down what's changed at Evian for 2026: a new fairway bunker guarding the tee shot on the closing par five and softened, resurfaced greens on 1 and 5. Then it's on to the Major Poker draft, with both hosts building five-player teams. To close, Kent and Worldwide debate a hypothetical: if Evian weren't a major, what would replace it? Their answers range from South Korea to Boston to Los Angeles, with more overlap than either expected. Plus: a beer-garden upgrade (Stella replaces Heineken this year) and the running tally of Worldwide's post-round celebrations.0:00 — Open2:42 — Revisiting last year's miracle finish8:24 — What's changed at Evian: the new bunker on 18 and softer greens13:33 — Major Poker: drafting our teams26:20 — The debate: if not Evian, what's the LPGA's true 5th major?44:11 — Beer garden banter, a Stella-over-Heineken upgrade, and sign-offLinks:The Edge WebsiteThe Edge YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@golf.theedgeshowSubscribe to The Edge Hosted on Acast.
