Summary

This peppy Monday episode reacts to the Tiger and Charlie show in Orlando on Sunday. Andy and Brendan begin first with some subtle but notable thirsty maneuvering at the conclusion of play. Then they get into the more important matters about what it all means for Tiger’s future and whether the PNC is a top 10 tour-ish event with the Woods duo in it. There are some comments about watching Charlie stripe it as well, and the reaction to his play on Twitter. Andy posits, and then they debate, where this event now rates in all of golf, both men’s and women’s -- e.g. is it better than every WGC? There’s chatter on the Dalys, and the choice players make to have their kid wear their branded scripting or not. They close with news that the R&A will be revoking its exemption into the Open for the Asian Tour’s order of merit.

1:00.0	The other car is coming, the world is blowing up, certainly in sports, professional sports, in terms of positives, my kids' schools maybe, I don't know, we'll say, just kind of live it on the edge here, taking a test, every now and then, it's always 50-50, but I'm glad to hear you're doing well.
1:18.6	Well, when I thought I was still feeling the effects of the full swing, and then when I was at a fever on Friday all day, I was like, well, not good side, and it turned out I'm okay, I'm happy, I'm happy about that, it was the wrong time of year to get something that prohibits you from being around others.
1:41.2	Yeah, I mean, you'd have an excuse though, if you, you know, you couldn't do your shopping this last week, right?
1:47.2	Well, I actually started thinking about that.
