Andy's on the road so Brendan put together an ensemble episode for your Friday listening pleasure! First, he's joined by Fried Egg Golf's Joseph LaMagna to discuss the RSM Classic, the Australian PGA, and the LPGA's Tour Championship. Ahead of a potential Browns snow game on Thursday Night Football, Joseph asks if the movement of NFL teams to domed, turf stadiums is part of the homogenization of venues and ties this to the golf courses we see on the PGA Tour. Speaking of the PGA Tour, Joseph and Brendan dive into the first round of the RSM Classic, the final event of the 2024 season. With a lot of focus on the "Bubble Boys" hovering around the Top 125 line, PJ brings a new coverage conspiracy to light, leading Brendan to assure everyone that PGA Tour Live is not actively plotting against YouTubers. Joseph shares the latest projections for who will keep their card for 2025, with some players who earned free points from sponsor exemptions into the no-cut Zozo falling on the right side of things as of now. Brendan and Joseph then move down under to the Australian PGA where podcast favorite Jacob Skov Olesen was hit with a slow-play penalty in his DP World Tour debut. Olesen turned down his Masters exemption as an amateur in favor of turning pro after earning his DP World Tour card at Q-School, prompting Joseph to preview his upcoming article looking at how WAGR points are earned and the overall state of the high-level amateur game. After that, Brendan chats with Josh Carpenter of Sports Business Journal about Comcast's decision to spin-off its cable channel offerings, including Golf Channel, into a new company, "SpinCo." Josh shares what this may mean for the future of Golf Channel, the sport's media deals as a whole, and how the PGA Tour itself continues to evolve as a media outlet. Finally, Brendan and PJ talk some TGL ownership news in a Friday Swag Sports Minute before wrapping up this episode with a few Golf Advice questions.
