Summary
Andy and Brendan are AMPED for the finale of the FedExCup season at East Lake. They ramble all over the place talking about the 2026 Presidents Cup and TPC Craig Ranch renovations before they get there though. At East Lake, they discuss some early player grumbles about Andrew Green’s restoration work for the home of the Tour Championship. They discuss the FedExCup Starting Strokes format now five years into the experiment. They make some picks for East Lake AND the Creator Classic, which is discussed at length and what it means to the PGA Tour. They also discuss the great Curtis Cup rota, an incredible claim made at the DP World Tour event this week, and a new LPGA event at a TPC Course that maybe delivered the usual discount to the ladies.
