Summary
With Andy on the road, Brendan! is joined by various members of the Fried Egg Golf team for a Wednesday medley episode. He opens by himself following the latest news from Tiger Woods, who announced he was stepping away from the game to seek treatment and focus on his health. Brendan provides the latest on the situation before transitioning into a previously recorded segment with Kevin Van Valkenburg discussing this morning's release of the police report from Tiger's Friday arrest (06:25). The two also unpack some remarks from Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, who is finding a way to ruin Brendan's day in March instead of just during Sundays during the football season. Meg Adkins then stops by to preview this week's Augusta National Women's Amateur (29:35). Meg runs through the top storylines of the week, ANWA's place in the greater women's golf ecosystem, and the quirky format that leads to an interesting leaderboard late on Sunday. Lastly, Joseph LaMagna joins Brendan ahead of his favorite PGA Tour event, the Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio (53:35). Brendan questions "the Boys" about what they're most excited for at their first Masters with press credentials, leading to a detailed explanation of PJ's anxieties around press conferences. Joseph takes over for Andy and gives out 5 Guys to Monitor This Week (For Various Reasons) at the Valero, covering local legends and a very topical Game Within a Game for Masters season. Brendan unleashes an all-time rant about youth sports while discussing the Drive, Chip & Putt finals this weekend and poses a quiz to Joseph and PJ as part of the Masters Fact of the Day. Finally, the three discuss the biggest news of the week: Tommy Fleetwood's new hat deal with Blackstone and Jason Kelce's Masters broadcast assignment. We'll be back on Friday with a special Flashback to get you set for the first major of 2026.

| 0:00.0 | Now the shotgun start in golf is full of mathematics. |
| 0:04.0 | There's a lot of setup work that we have to do in order to make a tournament work. |
| 0:09.0 | So I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here. |
| 0:14.0 | And here we go. |
| 0:17.0 | All right, all right, all right. |
| 0:27.0 | Gentlemen, start your engine. Greetings, everyone. |
| 0:41.6 | It is April 1st. |
| 0:42.9 | A little bit of change of pace here at the start. |
| 0:45.1 | We had an original opening and then the Tiger News intervened since we recorded. |
| 0:49.8 | So I'm just going to update you here at the top. |
| 0:52.8 | Obviously, some of the conversation I have become Van Valkenberg became moot or irrelevant based on the Tiger statement that he would be taking time away. |
| 1:03.5 | Some developments late in the afternoon evening of Tuesday after we recorded. |
| 1:08.3 | First of all, he pleads not guilty. |
| 1:10.1 | That's the court matter. Pleads not |
| 1:12.0 | guilty to DUI. He's retained the same attorney as he had in 2017 who had to knock down to reckless |
| 1:17.7 | driving. Never a good situation when you have an old DUI attorney to call on again for a repeat |
| 1:25.5 | issue. But he pled not guilty and we'll retain the same |
| 1:30.8 | counsel and probably pursue a lesser charge. Then shortly thereafter, Kevin and I talked about |
| 1:36.8 | how it was odd. We hadn't heard anything from anyone. The tour from Tiger, his representation, |
| 1:41.0 | Mark Steinberg was at Houston, you know, taking care of his other client, |
| 1:44.9 | Gary Woodland. It was odd that we hadn't heard anything. Well, that kind of all flooded out this |
| 1:49.7 | afternoon and evening. We hear from Tiger Woods about 6.40 p.m. on Tuesday. He says, I know, |
