Solheim Cup dramas, Champs Tour takes South Dakota, and Golf Advice

A late Wednesday recording leads to a Thursday release for this episode, as three events tee off on a Friday-Sunday schedule this weekend! Brendan attempts to start this episode with a Solheim Cup preview, but excludes the Champions Tour’s Sanford International from the Friday-Sunday schedule and leaves Andy aghast. This turns into a lengthy edition of Champions Tour Minute with Producer PJ, as the three look to stay hot with their picks for the big weekend in South Dakota. It’s then revealed that PJ may be taking a trip to the Schwab Cup Finals in Arizona for an in-person Champs Tour weekend, but the funding may depend on how successful the one-and-done picks continue to be. The Solheim Cup is then previewed, with Andy and Brendan both picking the United States to win big. They discuss the one year turnaround between Cups, the potential for a breakout American golfer, and some early gamesmanship with the team houses on the course. After an interlude about over-negotiation and when to tip in certain situations, the two dive into LIV Bolingbrook and wonder whether the Ironheads or Majesticks can finally secure a podium finish. They then note that Jon Rahm is attempting to play some DP World Tour Events in order to maintain eligibility for the 2025 Ryder Cup, but seemingly won’t pay the fines necessary to do so. This episode finishes with some quick NFL talk heading into Week 2, and a golf advice question surrounding “low-cap privilege.”
