LIV Golf files for bankruptcy, Irish Open enthusiasm, & Jon Rahm speaks again

As Andy says in the middle of this Wednesday episode, "golf gets really good in the fall." After a weekend focused almost solely on the Walker Cup, the Schedule for the Week is packed to the brim with the Solheim Cup, a strong field at the Irish Open, and Blockie's continued Champs Tour heater. Before they can get to any of that, Andy and Brendan begin with a Football Minute, the first of this 2026 season. Andy's enthusiasm about the Bears is borderline scary as he attempts to show Brendan and PJ that there is light at the end of the no-quarterback tunnel. The two get to golf and preview this week's Irish Open where (former?) LIV golfer Jon Rahm spoke about his future once again. Rahm was quick to point out that he was contracted with LIV 1.0, a business that filed for bankruptcy in the middle of this recording. Andy and Brendan then try to piece together the bankruptcy news as it unfolds, with the highlight being Scott O'Neil's "Letter to Fans" citing other successful sports franchises that have been through the process and lived to see another day. The Solheim Cup is briefly mentioned with a comprehensive preview to come on Thursday evening ahead of play on Friday. A Whiparound Wednesday segment catches up on a bunch of recent news such as Brooks Koepka signing with Motor City GC and the end of an era at the GloHo for the PGA TOUR. Brendan is especially appalled at the existence of the first-ever AI Golf Commentator, set to join Notah in the booth for the New Mexico Open next week! Lastly, PJ pops in to provide the official Shotgun Start Over/Unders for the 2026 NFL season, somehow making Andy and Brendan choose between Deshaun Watson and Christiaan Bezuidenhout, among other props.
