Summary

A Friday whiparound episode covers a wide range of topics, including Tiger, Jay, Yasir, and Adam Scott meeting with President Trump at the White House on Thursday, a bevy of golf content coming to streaming services soon, and a ranking of Girl Scout Cookies. Andy breaks out the soundboard early after not using it much in the month of February before Brendan shares some unsubstantiated rumors about Girl Scout Cookie sales inside the moat at PGA Tour HQ. The two then discuss Thursday's meeting between the PGA Tour and Saudi PIF at the White House, which has not yet reached a deal at the time of posting. On the PGA Tour this week, Tosti is off to a hot start in Mexico and Andy wonders why everyone's ready to anoint Jake Knapp as the "Next Big Thing" during his title defense this week. A new sponsor debuts this episode, with Brendan and Andy sharing their new favorite venison from Maui Nui. SGS Golf Advice returns with a listener's list of worst names for golf clubs, a suggestion for PGA Tour practice rounds, and a question about simulator etiquette. Brendan wraps this show up with a Flashback Friday on Mexican golf legend Esteban Toledo and one notable rules issue he encountered during his career.
