| 0:10.7 | sports betting golf brand of record. That's right. We're here every single Tuesday at 3 p.m. Eastern |
| 0:15.6 | time, but this is a special week. In fact, it's a special three weeks because we have arrived. |
| 0:20.6 | The top 70 of the FedEx |
| 0:21.6 | Cup point standings have made it to Memphis, Tennessee. All four days are expected to be in the 90s. |
| 0:27.7 | It's going to be hot, hot, hot, hot. We have a lot to unpack. Here are what the odds look like |
| 0:34.0 | as we head into the week. Scottie Shie sheffler despite maybe a little bit of regression |
| 0:39.3 | is still your betting favorite at plus 600 then he got john rom at plus 850 same for rory mackroy |
| 0:45.9 | all three of those players if you look at it had really really good years john rom i would argue |
| 0:52.2 | had the best years we got a lot to unpack. Let's bring in |
| 0:55.2 | the stars of the show. You know him. You love him. My man, the counselor of Cassie and the Jodd, |
| 1:00.7 | and of course, amateur status on the Twitter, sorry, on the ex, Patrick. |

| 2:04.4 | And it turned out it was a non-household name in the winner there. |
| 2:09.2 | And I think this week we've got the three big guys at the top, but I really think it's that next tier. |
