  • Rory McIlroy wins The Players in windy, ‘nervous’ playoff after busy, contentious week at Sawgrass
    “The boys” gather to fully debrief on the The Players Championship after Rory McIlroy came out on a Monday morning to beat J.J. Spaun for his second gold man trophy at TPC Sawgrass. Andy and Brendan discuss the golf nerd delights of the three-hole playoff in whipping winds on some of the most iconic and nerve-wracking holes in pro golf. They touch on Rory’s resume, current status, and future prospects with the Masters bearing down on the season. They review J.J. Spaun’s touch ‘em all ball into the water at 17, and his overall performance up against Rory. They discuss Scottie’s temper and the weird contentious vibes at times with the press between him and Morikawa, and Rory’s kerfuffle with a heckling fan earlier in the week. They ponder Scottie’s current trajectory, some other names that impressed and disappointed, and how the course, specifically the tree at 6, stacked up against the pros. They close it with some LIV Singapore thoughts and a look at the current Ryder Cup situation.

They then bounce around all over the place with notes from a day of press conferences with Jay Monahan, Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler, and Collin Morikawa, who said he doesn’t “owe anyone anything.” They bat around who would gain the most from a win at Sawgrass, and who needs it most at this point in their career.

  • Morikawa gets passed, DFL DJ, surging Sergio, and deluded rollback whining
    Andy and Brendan went LIVE on YouTube immediately following the finish at Bay Hill and were fired up after a packed weekend of pro golf. Off the top, they discuss Russell Henley chasing down Collin Morikawa to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational, his first win in over 850 days.

They then move on to Collin Morikawa and his performance at Bay Hill. Morikawa was unable to close, blowing a three-shot lead on the back nine and is still searching for his first win since 2023. Other notes on API include Keegan Bradley's record-breaking Sunday, Michael Kim's rise up the OWGR ranks, and Sepp Straka's continued strong play.

Sergio Garcia won the individual title and is continuing to push for a spot on a Team Europe at Bethpage. Phil Mickelson also showed some life, finishing in third place and bringing the HyFlyers to the podium for the first time ever. After some updates from PJ on the still-ongoing Dump in the Box Cologuard Classic, Andy and Brendan close this episode with some talk about player reaction to the proposed rollback as reported this week by Adam Schupak and a shoutout to Dustin Johnson.
