Summary

Andy and Brendan once again wrapped up a day at Quail Hollow with a YouTube livestream as the broadcast ended. They start with a trip to "the Vegas zone" with Jhonny Vegas still in the lead after 36 holes of the PGA Championship. Chief of the Fair Police Scottie Scheffler is lurking and is the odds-on favorite to win the tournament and is discussed at length. Bryson DeChambeau and Richard Bland are carrying the LIV baton, just as everyone predicted entering the week. Andy and Brendan also cover some late-breaking news about Rory McIlroy's driver that may explain his struggles off-the-tee this week. To wrap things up, there's plenty of ongoing fallout and discoveries following the all-timer that was the 2025 PGA of America press conference.
