Summary

Andy is off at sea, so Brendan! calls in "The Boys" for this Monday episode. Joseph LaMagna joins PJ and BP to discuss Kurt Kitayama's second career PGA Tour win and his continued dominance at Arnold Palmer designs. There's some chatter about Kitayama's excellent weekend at the 3M Open, tough Sundays from Jake Knapp and Akshay Bhatia, and some wild lines from the broadcast throughout the week. Brendan shares some takes from the beach as well before a quick look at the FedEx Cup standings heading into the last week of the regular season. Elsewhere in pro golf, a Korn Ferry Tour sponsor exemption has Brendan riled up, Lottie Woad was victorious at the Women's Scottish Open in her pro debut, and the Champs Tour Player of the Year race has heated up following the last major of the season. Rory McIlroy even stopped by the Senior Open Championship to take in the sights and sounds of the senior circuit. Joaquin Niemann won for a fifth time in 2025 at LIV London, an outcome which Joseph calls the "worse-case scenario" for the league. In news, Happy Gilmore 2 has taken over the golf world and a full review of the film will come later this week.
