Summary
This Wednesday episode is promptly derailed by discussion of Tesla owners and the subject of e-bike fraudulence. Eventually, Andy and Brendan get to the schedule for the week, beginning with an awful field at the Mexico Open. They make some one-and-done picks and read some hilarious course descriptions about this Greg Norman signature design. There’s also bewilderment about Jim Bones Mackay getting the main chair in the continued NBC tower bake-off when he has no plans to go full time. The schedule for the week also covers a Champions Tour event in Morocco and a DP World Tour event in Kenya. Following Hideki’s win, they endeavor to rank the starpower in men’s pro golf, creating a handful of tiers and trying to understand the indent that LIV has made and where the PGA Tour’s strength still resides. They close with news of a change at Augusta National for the 2024 Masters.
