Holly G and Rich Bianco are in the studio talking about Tiger's return to his Quicken Loans National tournament. 
Kevin Streelman goes on a birdie barrage to win the Travelers Championship last week.
Michelle Wie wins the U.S. Women's PGA Championship. The television ratings were up 92% from the year before.
Todd Lewis, The Golf Channel, calls in from Congressional Country Club to talk to the Golf Insiders about Tiger and the tournament. Tiger was tremendously revealing about his health and very candid. 
Todd says that Tiger wasn't looking very sharp at his practice round on Wednesday. This is more of a tune up for Tiger to see where his game is but it also helps his foundation by him playing.
Holly asks Todd about Streelman's seven birdie streak on the back nine to win the Travelers. Todd shares that Kevin is not worried about numbers defining him but how he is as a father and a husband. 
Todd also talks about Michelle Wie's first major championship victory. He and Holly talk about how much Michelle has matured over the past few years.  
Beth Ann Baldry (Nichols), Golfweek, calls in to the show and talks about Michelle Wie and her tour of the Big Apple and the big media blitz Tuesday. Beth Ann talks about how eloquent Michelle was with the media and how it seems like the weight of the world was lifted off of her shoulders now that she has won a major championship. Beth says that Michelle is having fun now and it is spilling over into her game. No three putts at Pinehurst No. 2 for four rounds.
Vartan Kupelian, PGA.com, calls in to wrap up the show. Vartan covers the Champions Tour and has covered the PGA Tour for many years. Holly asks him about Tiger slowing down. He is 38 years old and has had surgery on his knees and now his back. It takes a toll on anyone's body. Holly asks about Tiger's hunt for Jack's record on major championship. Vartan says it is not as easy now as there are a lot of great players and young players out there who can compete with Tiger for these major championships.
Holly asks Vartan about the Champions Tour and how well they play week in and week out. Colin Montgomerie, Fred Couples, Kenny Perry, Bernhard Langer, and many more. Vartan is in Pittsburgh for the Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship.  He says that much like the weather at the World Cup for USA vs Germany on Thursday a lot of rain in the forecast. About 40 miles southeast of Pittsburgh is where Arnold Palmer's course is in Latrobe, Pa.
