This Friday afternoon recording kicks off with some housekeeping, as Andy got a new power cord for his microphone just in time for the show after the old one almost electrocuted Producer PJ in Austin. Brendan has PJ attempt to explain why Syracuse's football coach won't shower for a week following a loss, which came up as a result of Brendan's Boston College Eagles defeating the Orange last weekend. From there, it's a shared segment of both TGL and Champions Tour Minutes, as Bob Papa may be out as the Champs Tour lead play-by-play man next year and there are new TGL holes to discuss. We got our first look at the SoFi Center with a video of Atlanta Drive GC's Patrick Cantlay and Justin Thomas hitting in the arena being posted to social media on Wednesday. Brendan brings attention to an auction containing items from Paul Azinger's personal collection, being sold to prevent human trafficking in Florida, including some "game-used" NBC polos, Ryder Cup gear, and an invitation to Nick Faldo's 2007 Masters party in Augusta. It was a big few days for Ryder Cup news, as the PGA of America announced that tickets sold out for the 2025 event, despite the high price tags. Speaking of price tags, it was reported that American players may receive $400,000 for their participation in the Ryder Cup moving forward, leading to Rory McIlroy offering up that he would pay for the right to play in the event on the European side. Andy provides some updates on ongoing tournaments, as SGS Good Walk Around Pinehurst guest Justin Lower currently leads in Bermuda. This episode ends with some user submitted stories and some form of golf advice relating to favorite fruits.
