Back here on the first cut podcast with Kyle Porter, I'm Chip Patterson, joined by Kyle Porter.

We are sitting here, counting down the moments to, as you just said, before we started recording

here, the sixth major of the season.

The conclusion of the West Coast Swing is an absolute monster.

It's the Genesis Open.

It's at Riviera.

It's our first time that we've seen Tiger Woods since the Farmers Insurance Open. We get Rory McElroy back in action,

Dusted Johnson, Jordan Speeith, Justin Thomas, Phil coming off a T2 a week ago, and we will get

into DJ Phil and Ted Potter as well. But this is like, and we're sitting here, Kyle, on February 13th, like the Florida

swings coming up next.

This is a pretty exciting time in the golf season.

It really is.

This field is a joke.

Paul Casey.

Thomas Peters.

Thomas Peters finished second here last year. Patrick Cantley.
