This Friday episode starts with some football whimsy - Andy is pumped about the Bears acquiring two high-priced offensive guards to start their offseason! The whimsy continues into golf talk as Aldrich Potgieter topped his drive into the lake on the sixth hole at Bay Hill, providing a must-see moment for Andy and Brendan on Thursday morning. High winds in Orlando led to a brutal first round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. TGL stars Max Homa, Cam Young, Min Woo Lee, and Tom Kim were among the many players well over par after round one, leading to questions about whether these players are better suited for the SoFi Dome vs. outdoor golf. Elsewhere in pro golf, Andy shares an unsubstantiated rumor about a PR Open participant who may be playing games with his PGA Tour pension. This episode is mostly news-based as Andy and Brendan discuss recent comments from Rory McIlroy and Jay Monahan surrounding the current state of the PGA Tour. Rory says he isn't sure the PGA Tour "needs" a deal with the PIF at this point, which brings back memories from last year's comments from Jordan Spieth in a similar vein. Jay was interviewed by Eamon Lynch about a potential deal, the Tour's search for a new CEO, and more, with plenty to unpack for Andy and Brendan. Following this lengthy news discussion, Brendan dives into a Flashback about Jerry Heard, a two-time winner of the Florida Citrus Open (now known as the Arnold Palmer Invitational), whose successful pro career was derailed by a lightning strike.
