Summary
Andy and Brendan are happily reunited in the Jupiter swamp for this Wednesday episode and they have some reactions to their rental home’s putting green architect, as well as its robot toilets. Then they transition to the controversial field composition for this week’s Sony Open, the first “regular” event under the new/old schedule in the Signature Event era. Has the Tour completely bumbled it and screwed the rookies out of their debut? Should DP World Tour players be given priority over KFT grads? Or is this just a case of the Tour modernizing and getting leaner? They discuss this hot topic, make some one-and-done picks, and hit on a few things to watch at Waialae. Then they get to the DP World Tour, where Rory McIlroy had a lengthy response on what he sees for the future potential of pro golf and the possibilities of a world tour.
