In this episode of Golfweek Amateur Tour – The Podcast, hosts Tim Newman and Chris Rocha celebrate the champions, stories, and camaraderie that make this tour, Where Amateurs Play Like Pros!

Fresh off the National Championships, we sit down with winners from both the Golfweek Amateur Tour and the Senior Amateur Tour to relive their biggest moments. From Jeff Wong’s short-game masterclass to Ricardo Almeida’s first-ever El Paso national title, these champions share the mindset, course strategies, and mental resilience that defined their victories.

We also highlight the community heartbeat behind the competition, tour directors, fellow players, and families, reminding us that amateur golf isn’t just about scores; it’s about stories, friendships, and growth.

As we look ahead to the upcoming season and Black Friday kickoff, Tim and Chris reflect on lessons learned, celebrate milestones, and offer a reminder to every competitive golfer: patience, preparation, and passion build champions on and off the course.

Listen in for:

• The secret to performing under pressure at national championships
• What the short game reveals about consistency and confidence
• Senior Amateur Tour champions on friendship, focus, and fierce competition
• The post-win chaos and emotions of national champions
• Tour-wide support moments that prove this golf community is family
