Andy and Brendan begin this Wednesday episode running down the “content bonanza” as Pebble wraps up, the influencers arrive in Phoenix, new LIV logos are unveiled, the PGA Tour gets new website, Titleist makes a film, and the Swilcan patio controversy continues. All this before some Monday cleanup on an underplayed Justin Rose story from his win at Pebble. Then it’s on to the shhhedule for the week, which involves a wide-ranging discussion on the designated debut of the Phoenix Open and how it may be the most important or “biggest” event on the PGA Tour. There’s a debate about the most thirsty scene of the week. Then they get to the LIV captain announcements with their new logos, team descriptions, and awkward dancing. News hits on Pat Reed flying to London for the arbitration hearing with the DP World Tour, Dan Patrick enlisting with the troops, and where designated event field makeups go from here.
