Summary

Andy and Brendan return after the Thanksgiving weekend to look back at the PGA Tour's Florida swing in the third installment of the 2024 Year in Review. First, they start with a much-anticipated Swag Sports Minute as the Bears fired Matt Eberflus after a late-game collapse against the Lions in the Thanksgiving Day Classic. Andy is excited that the 'Flus is loose, but is not hopeful about the future head coach of the Bears being anyone good. PJ is fired up after Kyle McCord led his Syracuse Orange to a win over Miami and Andy petitions the CFP committee that Illinois is the best three-loss team in the country. Fear not, as golf is the main discussion for this beefy boy of a podcast, as Andy begins this Year in Review episode with the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, formerly known as the Honda Classic. This was a Monday finish won by Austin Eckroat, but the more pressing content was happening in Jeddah, where Anthony Kim returned. Brendan then recaps Scottie's first win of the year at Bay Hill and sprinkles in some notes on the Puerto Rico open before making the transition to The Players. Jay's "State of the Tour" presser, collars of rough ruining 17 at TPC Sawgrass, Xander's failure to close, and a Rory-Spieth spat over "Dropgate" are all discussed at length to round out this episode.

research. I said the worst Sunday night on a four-day weekend, nobody's waiting for that.

1:28.6

That's especially no one's waiting for that Sunday night.

1:30.9

After a four-day, five-day holiday weekend of binging, eating, food, relaxation, that's the least waiting you do.

1:39.8

That's the most treacherous, scary Sunday night.
