About this episode
Want to make Team USA competitive again in the Ryder Cup? On this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down what REALLY needs to change if we ever want to see the United States dominate like Europe has in recent years. Mike and Shaun ask the hard questions: Should players pay to play in the Ryder Cup? Why are some top golfers showing up with zero fire ? Is it time to overhaul how we pick the US team? Why is Europe winning with less "talented" squads — and what can we learn? They're talking hot takes , bold strategies , and real solutions — from player selection reform to financial incentives, to picking captains who actually understand the game and the moment. If you've ever been frustrated watching another US collapse at the Ryder Cup, this is your episode. We're diving into the culture shift Team USA needs, how to get the right dogs in the fight, and why playing good in March shouldn’t guarantee a September tee time.
