Summary
Andy and Brendan are together in Ireland, where they are taking in the news of yet another board announcement from the PGA Tour. But first, there’s an EPIC Ian Woosnam story they picked up on one of his Irish Open wins. Then it’s back to the less fun news of a board, for PGA Tour Enterprises, and it gives Jay Monahan another big title, as well as Tiger Woods. Does any of this shit matter anymore? Should we have any faith in this being an actual, final arrangement? We just had a “Framework Agreement” but that seems closer to death with each press release. Be skeptical of everything because the just keep announcing new things every month. Then they discuss LIV Hong Kong being at a 6700-yard course. They close with some Golf Advice on a piss bear situation and how best to spend a day at the Masters.
