Bad Caddies

Can ChatGPT help you build a better golf bag? We explore how PGA Tour card winner Ross Steelman used AI to help source and build his clubs, and Peyton shares how he's been using it for his own equipment builds, shaft comparisons, swing-weight calculations, and more. From finding budget-friendly equipment to making smarter adjustments, could AI be the ultimate golf caddie?

We also break down Eugenio Chacarra's win at the DP World India Championship, Patrick Reed's runner-up finish, Rory McIlroy's third-place result, and the latest TGL roster moves ahead of the December 27 season opener.

How much can AI actually help your golf game, and where should you be careful about trusting it?

We're The Bad Caddies Podcast — not bad at golf, just bad caddies.

New episodes every Thursday at 8 AM.

What's the next big trend in golf equipment? The Bad Caddies are back for Round 23 to discuss the latest news from the PGA Tour and DP World Tour before debating what could be coming next in our golf bags.

We recap the Baycurrent Classic, discuss Blades Brown making history on the Korn Ferry Tour, and look ahead to the DP World India Championship, where Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy headline the conversation. We also discuss the course's tight layout and why players are reaching for 1-irons and 2-irons instead of drivers.

Then it's time to talk equipment. Mini drivers, zero-torque putters, long irons and high-lofted fairway woods have all been trending, but what's next? Peyton thinks hybrids are due for a comeback, while Matt believes the golf ball rollback could change the way golfers approach equipment throughout the bag.

Who's got the better prediction?

Tune in for another round of golf talk, gear debates, and the occasional bad caddie take.

The Bad Caddies are back from a golf trip that may have been a little too ambitious. Six courses, four straight days, plenty of smack talk, and some seriously good golf.

We recap the trip, talk about getting fit by your best friend, Peyton’s fitting skills, our favorite moments, and why golf trips might be better when the competition gets a little personal.

Plus, we talk Tom Kim’s win and dive into why golfing in Japan has officially landed on our bucket list.

What’s the most courses you’ve played on a golf trip?

The Presidents Cup is over, and somehow we went from “everything is going exactly as expected” to absolute chaos.

We break down the USA's week from start to finish — the dominant Four-Ball session, the shocking Friday Foursomes sweep, the comeback on Sunday, Scottie Scheffler's class, Jackson Koivun's breakout performance, and Jacob Bridgeman sinking the putt to finish it off.

We also take a look at who was HOT, who was COLD, whether some of the pairings were questionable, and see just how badly our Presidents Cup predictions aged.

Then it's time for the main event…

THE BAD CADDIES BEACH TRIP. 🌴🏌️

True Blue. The Heritage Club. Moorland. Heathland. Parkland. And, of course, THE PIPER.

We talk about how we're preparing, what's happening with Oldie Goldie, which course we're most excited for, and Peyton tries to explain to Matt — who's never been on a golf trip like this — just how spoiled he's about to become.

The Bad Caddies are going to the beach. What could possibly go wrong?

The Bad Caddies — not bad at golf, just bad caddies.

The Bad Caddies are officially getting ready for a golf trip, but first we have to figure out what happened to our golf games.

Peyton shoots an 80 after a rough front nine and a completely different back nine, proving that this crazy thing called “practice” might actually work. Matt returns to the tips for the first time in a month, starts the round like a man possessed, and then spends the back nine questioning everything he knows about golf.

Then we recap the Biltmore Championship, where Jacob Bridgeman absolutely goes off on Sunday to claim his second win of the year on his home turf.

With the Presidents Cup coming up, we talk JT setting the course record at Medinah, the pairings we want to see, and our predictions for how the whole thing plays out.

Finally, we're looking ahead to the Bad Caddies golf trip: True Blue, The Heritage Club, Legends Resort, and of course… THE PIPER.

How are we preparing? What are we trying to fix before we leave? And what could possibly go wrong?

The Bad Caddies are back. Thursdays at 8AM on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & YouTube.

After three weeks away from the course, Peyton is finally getting back into the swing of things… even if his last round before the break was ROUGH. Meanwhile, Matt checks in on his own game before the Bad Caddies dive into everything happening around the PGA Tour.

Shane Lowry absolutely destroys the field at the Irish Open, the inaugural Biltmore Championship is coming to Asheville, and Tiger Woods is back on the range at the NEXUS Cup. Does that mean we're getting closer to seeing Tiger compete again?

Then it's time for another round of Unsolicited Golf Advice, with tips on hitting the ball farther by trying less, knowing when to take your medicine, choosing the right club when you're between yardages, stopping yourself from chasing a score, and accepting that sometimes… a bad shot is just a bad shot.

Another week of The Bad Caddies is here.

Peyton spent the week at the beach surrounded by golf courses without actually playing any golf, while Matt battled his way through a 94.

Then we get into everything happening on the PGA Tour, including Scottie Scheffler's continued dominance, whether the Player of the Year conversation is already over, and the upcoming Presidents Cup teams.

We also get a little more personal this week with a conversation about our biggest golf breakthroughs. Sometimes getting better isn't about practicing more — it can mean taking a break, changing equipment, finding an “aha” moment off the tee, or simply reminding yourself what kind of golfer you actually are.

Plus, plenty of the usual Bad Caddies opinions, tangents, and questionable golf takes.

New episodes every Thursday at 8 AM on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

Round #17 is here, and the Bad Caddies are back talking everything golf.

We recap the week in golf (or lack thereof), including Matt working on his swing, Peyton apparently doing absolutely nothing, and the first signs that fall golf weather might finally be here.

Then we get into everything happening around professional golf — Wyndham Clark’s big win, Rory McIlroy nearly pulling off the comeback we predicted, the Player of the Year debate, a potential return of match play, Tiger Woods hype, and LIV officially canceling its Team Championship.

Then things get a little more personal as we build our perfect golf day from tee time to post-round plans.

Round #16 is here, and the Bad Caddies are officially entering fall golf season.

Peyton may have broken his PR again, Matt recaps his time in Italy, and we dive into a busy week across professional golf — including Scottie Scheffler finally getting a win with the Qi4D, Rory McIlroy's surprising +8, and LIV Golf officially canceling its Team Championship.

Then we get into our favorite part of the episode: FALL GOLF. We run through the 10 things we're all looking forward to as the temperatures drop, the leaves change, the sweaters come back out, and football and golf weekends return.

Plus, as always, plenty of unsolicited opinions along the way.

Round #15 is all about rapid-fire golf debates and getting to know the Bad Caddies.

We answer some of golf's toughest questions, including whether coffee or an energy drink is the better pre-round choice, if we'd rather walk or ride, match play versus stroke play, our favorite golf movies, and the best golf trips we've ever taken.

Then we dive into some dream scenarios: building our ultimate foursome (living or dead), choosing one PGA Tour player's game to steal, revealing what's on our go-to playlist for the course, and putting together our dream golf bags with no budget limits.

If you've ever wondered how we'd answer golf's biggest "what if" questions, this is the episode for you.

In Round #14 of The Bad Caddies Podcast, we break down another exciting week on the PGA Tour as 24-year-old Michael Thorbjornsen earns his first PGA Tour victory. With 16 players under the age of 30 winning over the past year, we ask the question: are we witnessing the next generation taking over professional golf? We also share our thoughts on the latest LIV Golf investment news and whether it really changes anything.

Then, we switch things up and let you get to know the Bad Caddies a little better. We talk about how we met, how our friendship led to the podcast, and some of the hobbies that keep us busy when we're not on the golf course—including Pokémon, video games, drums, leatherworking, reading, and comics.

It's a shorter, laid-back episode packed with golf talk and a chance to learn more about the guys behind The Bad Caddies Podcast.
