The Shotgun Start

This episode is off the rails, on the rails, fishtailing about, and careens to a soft landing, maybe. Brendan and Joseph somehow get stuck early on the topic of Tiger Woods designing a golf course on Long Island, and if he’s not practicing what’s preached in the nascent days of that career. Then they get to the YASSS Links and the the DP World Tour playoffs near the Strait of Hormuz in a hot zone of the world. They comb through Jon Rahm’s quotes in his first appearance since it came out that he would not be going with LIV 2.0, and also review Guy Kinnings prospectus for the DPWT future. Is the Euro Tour back baby!? There’s also an impromptu segment on what guys should have gone to LIV but didn’t, like Tony Finau, who is playing this week on the PGA Tour. This entire premise disgusts Joseph. They close with some news on the Golf Channel Games, an LPGA Q school mess, Alker laying down the law on LIV guys coming to the Senior Circuit, and a new sponsor for the Good Good Championship.

With Andy and producer PJ on the road, Brendan is left to man the controls. He brings on Kevin Van Valkenburg from the media center at Te Arai to recap an exciting edition of the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship won by Fifa Laopakdee and discuss the trajectory of one of golf's great amateur events. Joseph LaMagna also joins to break down the action from VidantaWorld where Andrew Novak shredded the field during a busy NFL Sunday. Then, Brendan and Joseph get to some provocative Michael Block quotes, which prompts a conversation about whether or not the Champions Tour has groupies.

It's time for one of the most storied traditions in all of SGS lore! Andy and Brendan are both back in the saddle for this Friday episode celebrating the NINTH installment of their Golf-Adjacent Halloween Costume exercise. Before the holiday festivities get underway, Andy declares a Victory Thursday/Friday following the Bears trading for Jeff Simmons and Brendan unleashes a rant on Sergio Garcia's most recent "open letter" about his future plans. The two then have PJ pop in as they provide their best ideas for your Halloween costume needs, suggesting listeners dress up as a shoeless Lucas Glover, a "grumpy turtle," LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil, and more! The three then read through listener-submissions and will keep an eye out for more as everyone celebrates Halloween on Saturday.

Despite the Brewers' 3-0 World Series lead, Andy is not running away from the noise and is joined by The Boys for the first part of this episode. The trio run through the Schedule for the Week and debate whether the Asia-Pacific Am or the VidantaWorld Mexico Open should earn the title of "Event of the Week." PJ also provides a comprehensive preview of the Simmons Bank Championship, which has once again been demoted to the Golf Channel App for live coverage on Sunday evening. They also react to the news of LIV Golf hiring former TaylorMade CEO Mark King as a "senior advisor," with more to come from Brendan on Friday. The second half of this episode features Andy, PJ, Brendan, and Kevin Van Valkenburg reading through listener stories about playing against professional athletes before fame, with KVV sharing his own experiences against Pro Football Hall of Famers! Listeners share tales across all sports, delighting the group and hopefully entertaining the masses at large. We will return on Friday for our annual Halloween Costume episode as we approach the end of October.

Move over, Blockie - a new Champions Tour rookie is taking over from here! Andy, Brendan, and PJ are all giddy following Rory Sabbatini's Sunday charge at the Stifel Charity Classic and immediately discuss the Silver Slovak's first win on the Champions Tour. As per usual, Paul Azinger brought the heat on commentary as the Boy from Bratislava got hot, playing the final four holes in five under par to cement the victory. Andy then recaps his trip to Milwaukee for Game 2 of the World Series and shares some enlightening statistics regarding the Brewers fanbase, of which he is now NOT a part of. The two move on to the unfinished Butterfield Bermuda Championship and wonder if it was really too windy to play on Sunday or Monday with a full field. A whole new group of players announced they were not joining LIV 2.0 over the weekend, leaving just the "Big 4" of Bland, Tringale, Steele, and Campbell as public commitments so far. Dustin Johnson has not yet decided either way, but he is leading a group looking for severance payouts from the Saudi Arabian government! We wrap with a brief Football Minute after another last-second Browns win and a Jets loss that might be the worst one in recent memory.
