Summary

This Wednesday episode previews a beefy week of golf, with tournaments of interest taking place across the world from Northern Ireland, to Napa, to Virginia, to Bolingbrook, Illinois. Andy and Brendan begin with some early LIV talk as the league's Individual Championship makes its way to Bolingbrook Golf Club. Brendan reads through the pre-tournament notes, with some editorializing from Illinois local Matt Rouches as well as Andy's personal experiences. They discuss Phil Mickelson's appreciation for the course and Arthur Hills as an architect, and why LIV decided to change the routing for their tournament. Next up is the Irish Open, the Event of the Week, being played at Royal County Down. Andy runs down the field list, noting home clubs of notable players teeing it up in Northern Ireland this weekend. The two then discuss the coverage schedule for the event, with most of it airing on the NBC Sports App due to a loaded weekend of golf. Attention then turns to the Procore Championship in Napa, the first event of the new-look FedEx Fall and Brendan previews some Fall SGS Awards to keep an eye on as the fall swing gets underway. Producer PJ joins for a quick look at this week's Champions Tour event before Brendan and Andy wrap up this episode with the news of meetings between the PGA Tour and the Saudi PIF taking place this week in New York. Check back Thursday for coverage of this week's Solheim Cup and more as fall golf begins to hit its stride.
