Summary
A bit of a mess of an episode, due to the late news that Brooks Koepka is back on the PGA Tour with a new pathway which would allow other big names to follow.
After that it's business as usual, which means that Andrew, Eddie and Iain cover any number of topics related to golf. And others which are not.
Koepka chat up until 16 mins 15.

| 0:00.0 | It's time now for the chipping forecast in association with Peter Millar, brought to you by Andrew Cotter, Eddie Pepperel, and special guest Ian Carter. Hi there, Chippers. |
| 0:27.6 | One of the things about a podcast is that it is time sensitive. |
| 0:31.2 | It's not rolling news. |
| 0:32.1 | So sometimes we record the chipping forecast and a bit of golf news will appear after the recording and we just have to leave |
| 0:39.6 | it and go, which is fine if it's the news that, I don't know, Marcus Armitage is changing caddy or |
| 0:45.1 | Sandy Lyle's moving house or something like that. Actually, that is big news. He's never going to leave |
| 0:50.5 | Bellwither. But today, we've had to pull the emergency handle. It's 8 o'clock on Monday evening, and I've just had my chicken Kiev rudely interrupted. One of the M&S ones as well, the luxury ones. You know, they've got two types of chicken Kiev, and they've got the standard one. But I decided to just push the vote out today, I have the luxury chicken Kiev. Anyway, rudely interrupted. We were just going to do a little bit extra here, though, to drop in at the start. So we're not going to record the whole podcast. We don't care that much, but there is significant news, which is that Brooks Kepka has been allowed to come back to the PGA tour. Now, we obviously knew that knew that he left Liv, Ian Carter, but a special |

| 1:35.1 | it's only for him and the other big beasts if they should wish to follow him. Yes, you say significant. |
| 1:40.5 | I'd say this is huge news, really, really. Perhaps the most significant thing that |
| 1:46.0 | has happened in this whole Liv saga, you know, since all the big names went. And since John |
| 1:53.7 | Rahm went, certainly. And as you say, this is a one-time offer. Well, that's how it's being |
| 1:59.5 | couched to the big beasts. |
| 2:01.8 | We knew that Brooks Kepka had left Live a year early. |
| 2:07.7 | He is going to take advantage of this return program that has been put in place. |
| 2:13.5 | There are penalties involved. |
| 2:15.8 | We can get into all the details on that, |
| 2:18.7 | but also this window is open, |
| 2:21.7 | only to winners of majors and players' championship |
| 2:25.0 | in the window of Live. |
| 2:28.6 | So that's Bryson DeChambeau, John Rahm and Cameron Smith. |
