Summary

August is winding down but the summer of upheaval and change in pro golf continues with the PGA Tour announcing its next move in the battle against LIV. It’s a series of moves, really, dramatically re-shaping what the Tour is, who controls it, and acknowledging some truths that many have been shouting about for years. Andy and Brendan discuss the new “elevated” tour, how it will all fit into the schedule, who should get the credit (thank u Mr. Mickelson!), and if Jay Monahan and his team are the right people to implement it all going forward. They also discuss the notion that the Tour copied LIV. Rory and Tiger’s new TGL project is also pondered at length, as Monday Night golf returns in a new way.

Brandon, I'm doing well. You know, last recording from the in-loss basement, so got the two-year-old is running upstairs, it sounds like if you hear something that sounds like a herd of elephants, that's what it is.

1:02.0

Yep, yep, two-year-old can be a herd of elephants, that's right. When they start going and they run around the house, that's right. So where are you off to, you back home?

1:11.0

Back home? Yeah, out of the basement, out of the dungeon. Back to the shed.

1:15.0

All right, from the dungeon to the shed. Live in large over there. It's funny, you know, I take calls out there in multiple times, people bend like, we sure there's not a hostage situation going on.

1:31.0

Are you the unibomber that we're trying to do business with there? Yeah.

1:35.0

So I need to need to put a little time TLC into the shed to make it a little bit more for normal looking.

1:44.0

Well, it was a momentous week, a momentous, what was it, Wednesday? Afternoon, Wednesday morning, you know, for our fans, our partners, our media partners, our sponsors, everybody involved in the golf, I guess the fans too.

A big Wednesday, everything's changing, though I will say, things do seem to be returning back to normal here on Thursday morning.

2:06.0

We have preferred lies in play at the Torchy Appship, and Golf Digest has just tweeted an update on Mike Vesaki.

So we are getting back to normal here after so long, I saw that.

Oh, yeah, the long tail of Katniv Vesaki content never ends. So we do have a couple of things getting us back to normal here on Thursday morning as we record this.

I think we, most people hopefully have the nuts and bolts, but we can.

2:47.0

I don't know if everybody has the nuts and bolts, but I mean, more or less, what, what they were, what was discussed and concept and reported, you know, bit by no laying up and others about Delaware last week.

3:02.0

Was quickly turned around into more than a concept and the plan for next year, not 2024 next year.

3:10.0
