Sure, the PGA Tour's "Super Bowl" was this weekend, but you knew this Monday episode could only start in one specific way. Andy and Brendan immediately kick things off with a Champions Tour Minute recapping the Ally Challenge, where Michael Block held the 36-hole lead but couldn't prevent Steven Alker from winning his second straight event. The two bring in PJ for a full debrief of an electric Sunday round featuring a vintage performance from Paul Azinger on commentary. Is Blockie the true savior of the Champions Tour? Will he qualify for the 2026 Schwab Cup Playoffs? How can we get Zinger back in our lives for golf's biggest events? All of these questions are asked and the three attempt to answer them before finally transitioning to the results of the 2026 Tour Championship. Scottie Scheffler claimed yet another FedExCup with a win at East Lake, putting to bed any arguments against him being the PGA Tour's Player of the Year for this season. Andy and Brendan break down Scottie's come-from-behind win on Sunday and discuss Viktor Hovland's inability to convert a 54-hole lead for the first time in his career. Andy expresses lament that we're stuck with the same old season-ending format for another year and Brendan was surprised at how sleepy Sunday ended up being, both on the ground and on TV. Ahead of Tuesday night's picks for the Presidents Cup, Andy and Brendan choose their six Americans to fill out the squad and debate whether Ryan Gerard will be at Medinah off a third place finish this week. A quick run-through of the remaining results from the week in golf finishes off this episode, with much more P-Cup discourse to come on Wednesday!
