Summary

This Wednesday episode is an in-person recording on Long Island as Andy and Brendan pregame the 2025 Fried Egg Golf Club Member-Guest. Instead of beginning with any golf news, methods of transportation are ranked following Andy's early-morning drive across the island. It's a huge week on the PGA Tour as Area 313 is BACK for the Rocket (not Mortgage) Classic! This year's field is the deepest in tournament history with players vying for Ryder Cup and FedEx Cup points. Brendan puts his investigative reporting hat back on and calls this year's Area 313 charity giveaways into question. Picks are made and PJ is calling for a "now-or-never" week for NYGC superstar Cameron Young. Elsewhere, it's another Senior Tour major as the U.S. Senior Open takes place in Colorado without defending champion Dick Bland. The LPGA is running their team event and the DP World Tour takes on the Italian Open. In news, a Joe Ogilvie interview in Sports Illustrated alludes to the PGA Tour potentially looking for a cut of TV deals for major championships and more.
