Summary

This Monday episode starts with an apology from Andy on behalf of the entire crew, as no Champions Tour picks were given ahead of the SAS Championship. Andy and Brendan are joined by Producer PJ to then recap Jerry Kelly's win in the final regular season event, coming just a week after he withdrew due to arthritis. PJ also chimes in with an update about Ángel Cabrera's status for the Schwab Cup Playoffs, leading to a spittake from Brendan. With the Champs Tour wrapped, Andy and Brendan then recap Matt McCarty's win at the Black Desert Championship. They talk through McCarty's path to the PGA Tour, winning three times on the KFT but hanging around those events into the summer in order to lock up the No. 1 spot on the points list rather than getting PGA Tour starts. This leads into a discussion about the need for more Korn Ferry Tour grads playing during the FedEx Fall, as this year's group will not get to play on the PGA Tour until January now. The two also wonder about TV ratings for the Black Desert, which was deemed a "fun event" on a new, different course for the PGA Tour, and how the pace-of-play issues can be fixed after another Saturday morning cut. A mid-episode Swag Sports Minute recaps a big Bears win in London, another Browns loss, and the possibility of a Mets-Guardians World Series beginning next week. To wrap things up, Andy and Brendan give props to Dan Bradbury for his win at Le Golf National, and recap the Buick LPGA Shanghai, won by Ruoning Yin.
