Summary

Happy Halloween Jr.! This Wednesday morning recording starts with Andy and Brendan standing by their football takes from Monday's episode, as not much is going on in golf these days. Brendan shares a Tosti Tale from the Sanderson to get the golf talk started, which then transitions into a very quick Schedule of the Week segment. The two then recap the proposed PGA Tour changes for the 2026 season, including an insane pace-of-play policy that gives players more time to hit shots. These changes will limit fields on the PGA Tour and guarantee fewer Tour cards per season. Andy and Brendan lament that these changes are basically negligible, but the weekly stakes will be higher with a higher turnover rate at the bottom of the season-long standings. To wrap this episode up, it's the seventh annual golf-related Halloween costume idea segment, with multiple Matt Kuchar entries from listeners, a couple different Tom Kim outfits, and the latest in Jay Don Blake attire.
