Summary
It's the finale of the PGA Tour regular season, so Brendan and Andy are peaking at the right time. Andy begins the episode expressing his excitement about watching the battle for the Comcast Business Top 10 coming to an end this week at the Wyndham Championship. Brendan then shares an analogy comparing the photo-finish Men's 100m Final at the Olympics to the race to make the Top 70 in the FedEx Cup ahead of the playoffs. The two then share a note about the "Buy Two Get One Free" deal on hats at the Fried Egg Pro Shop before discussing the event of the week, the Women's Olympic Golf tournament at Le Golf National. The attention then turns to the Wyndham, where Nick Dunlap will look to remain in the FedEx Cup Top 70 despite winning twice this season. Andy works on branding the show as your home for "FedEx Cup Facts," which leads to a discussion of Viktor Hovland's season and whether he will make it to East Lake. Brendan then presents this week's Cutthroat Corner, focusing on a club pro making his sixth start of the season. The episode ends with some news, including the newly-named Truist Championship heading to Philly Cricket Club next year, and previews of the Boeing Classic and U.S. Women's Amateur at Southern Hills.
