Summary

Andy and Brendan went LIVE on YouTube following the conclusion of the 2026 Players Championship, recapping an electric Sunday back nine that ended in Cameron Young's second PGA Tour victory. The two initially give some credit to "The Boys" after a week full of adversity in the AirBNB but came with the trade off of a big win for Mr. 1,000. Young defeated Matt Fitzpatrick following a blow up from 54-hole leader Ludvig Åberg. Despite a sleepy Saturday and a slow start to Sunday, the last 90 minutes at TPC Sawgrass delivered for viewers once again. Andy and Brendan discuss Cameron Young's history as a "big game player" and how the setup with long rough helped him as a longer hitter off the tee. They also unpack Åberg's collapse on holes 11 and 12 and his gameplan that ended up getting him in trouble. Grades are given to Cam, Ludvig, Scottie Scheffler, the course setup, NBC, and other contenders as is tradition at a "major" event. The Boys, Joseph LaMagna and PJ, join in for the back half of this episode to celebrate a Victory Monday for the only recurring guest in "Lunch with The Boys" history. PJ shares insight from his weekend on the ground and his time following the NYGC tandem of Young and Fitzpatrick on Sunday, while Joseph shines some light on Sudarshan Yellamaraju, one of the breakout players of this week. We wrap with some small unsubstantiated rumors after a successful week in Jacksonville for the 2026 Players Championship.
