Episode 172: Break80 Goes To The PGA Show & Scottie Scheffler Starts Off 2026 With A Win
January 27, 2026
The Break80 Podcast made its way to Florida for the 2026 PGA Show in Orlando. It was our first time at the PGA Show and we were both floored and overwhelmed with this golf industry insiders event. Around 1 million square feet of golf industry stuff was there. From clothes and apparel to clubs and technology, we will talk about all that we saw and did at our first ever PGA Show. While in Florida we went and played Cabot Citrus Farms and Streamsong. Both courses and properties were amazing and we will break down everything we thought about them, including some wild nature out at Streamsong. Last but not least, it was another win for Scottie Scheffler, which is becoming the norm for the world number one player. We will give our reactions to his win and the event, which included an impressive showing for 18-year old, Blades Brown. Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple or Spotify for weekly golf content.
