The Tour’s Hard Knocks show, Masters momentum builds, and Rolapp’s new rights deal pickle

Whiparound Fridays return as Andy and Brendan! record during the early window of NCAA Tournament Thursday. After a brief check-in on the Illini and Johnnies ahead of their first round games, attention turns to another tradition of spring: the reveal of the Masters Champions Dinner menu. Andy and Brendan share their thoughts about everyone else sharing *their* own thoughts on Rory McIlroy's selections, which seem to appeal to a wide audience. Dan Orlovsky was not pleased by the menu during an appearance on SportsCenter, giving PJ more fodder and another chance to remove him from the Cameron Young bandwagon. Andy and PJ trade reviews of the PGA Tour's "Hard Knocks" show, "Chasing Sunday," which premiered Tuesday night. Andy is thrilled to have a golf product made for golf fans about the actual playing of golf, but PJ isn't so sure that the "Hard Knocks" edit truly came through. As the Tour continues to make these shows, will players get a "bad edit," or will everything have a so-called "Disney ending"? Brendan and Andy then discuss some early Masters storylines with just three weeks until play in Augusta, including the strong crop of debutants at this year's tournament. Brendan has some first-hand accounting from the Hainan Classic in China where the first round lasted over five hours on Thursday. In other news, Phil is BACK for the HyFlyers (in dead last place), and Bryson DeChambeau had yet another press conference moment made for social media in South Africa. Lastly, Brian Rolapp spoke on CNBC about the changing media rights landscape for pro sports leagues and might've made it seem like the PGA Tour's deal will be going... down... when it's time to renegotiate. We'll see you on Monday after the Valspar and a weekend full of college basketball.
