Summary

Andy and Brendan are back in 2024 and they’re starting a little worse for the wear but enthusiastic and encouraged for another year. They discuss some quick resolutions and the PGA Tour’s opening event at Kapalua, including a variety of Catnip subjects and a field that is not its strongest coming out of the gates. The Rahm-to-LIV impact is felt pretty quickly and they discuss this as well as some Mac Hughes comments on Tuesday in the press room. They also have some fun with the caddie revolving door and the notion of ranking the best golf teachers in America. They also run through the schedule for the week, including some concerns about NBC’s tower experiment, and make their long-awaited gambling picks. The back half of the podcast is their annual over-unders exercise with a mix of serious and semi-serious props for the coming year.

flying colors on time and we took an extra day or two. We actually unwinded but now we just sets us up, you know, like
