Summary
Andy and Brendan are all over the place for this Wednesday episode, which begins with some intel from the ground at the Scottish Open, where a frugal one was casing the free coffee cart on the driving range at the Renaissance Club. Then they get to the massive, surprising news of the week that Keegan Bradley will be the 2025 Ryder Cup captain at Bethpage. They react to the apparent haphazard PGA process that landed with Keegan, the fact that Zatch made the call to him, and the genuine love Bradley clearly displays for this event. Will it be a good pick? They also discuss Xander Schauffele’s quotes that Keegan needs to cut down on the mandatory dinners. They eventual get to the schedule for the week, which starts with an In-Out-Alternate for the newly-named Kentucky event that will remain the Barbasol here. Then they get to the Scottish Open, Rory’s return, and two majors on the Senior and LPGA tours. They close it with news of Joost Luiten getting banned from Olympics golf again.

| 1:00.9 | I think I'm just at the point where I don't think anything quite delivers content |
| 1:06.4 | like the like the American Rider Cup team. They might be the content machine of all content machines. the secret is the writer cup as a competition has not been particularly close for a while now |
| 1:27.3 | really since 2012 I would say am I am I missing one in there I think it's 2012 was the last one that felt really competitive and |
| 1:36.8 | Yet the content continues to be |
| 1:41.6 | Bountiful and I guess that gets us to the shocking news. All I care about, it seems |
| 1:48.5 | predictable. The home team wins. The home team wins by a lot. That's sort of |
| 1:52.2 | been the blueprint of the Rider Cup |
| 1:55.3 | for a while now. |
