This Friday episode begins with a segment of “TGL 20 Minutes” as Andy and Brendan react to rumors of Ballfrogs merch selling out in stores across the country. Andy then submits the latest hole design to be unveiled, “Hatchet,” for Design Disasters, breaking down the flaws in a fake golf hole that will not challenge professional golfers bombing drives over bunkers on an indoor screen. Speaking of that screen, Brendan wonders which player will be the first to completely miss it with a shot, something that feels bound to happen in the league’s inaugural season, From there, the two discuss Rory McIlroy’s comments about the increased likelihood of a PGA Tour-PIF deal as a result of the U.S. election. Brendan victory laps his win for “Low MLB-Sponsored Player” at the World Wide Technology Championship, as a Cam Young WD leaves Billy Andrade as the last man standing. Laurie Canter is in contention in Abu Dhabi, and Andy notes that he has a chance to secure a PGA Tour card and become the first player to be suspended by the PGA Tour while never having been a member. Speaking of the DP World Tour, Brendan shares some quotes from Guy Kinnings about his tour’s place in the pro golf ecosystem, which is NOT as a feeder tour. This episode wraps with some Golf Advice, as Andy and Brendan advise friends of the program on pace-of-play issues, Ryder Cup attendance questions, and caddie ethics. Before hopping on his flight to Phoenix, PJ chimes in and the three preview his weekend at the Schwab Cup Finals.

Haven’t been able to sleep. Went to the gym and put on the Shotgun Shart to escape this week. Could I count you to stick to golf? Shockingly, no.
You coastal elites don’t know what is real golfers value and love. Nicklaus Design fights for us. We are going to make gas carts great again!
Great content, as always! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Nicklaus Design fights for us? 😂
That's why 99.9% of his "Signature" golf club designs are gated, ultra exclusive, millionaire/billionaire havens with zero public access… it's sad to see a heartland, supposedly tough minded, gas cart driving golfer be triggered so easily by a few political observations. 😢😊
For McIlroy to state that a Trump administration will make it easier for billionaires to make even more money is like stating the sky is blue. For McIlroy to state Musk is one of the “smartest men in the world” is where McIlroy shows his idiocy.
No timestamps?
Oh and for the record, I love all the non-golf content from you guys. Love the football and (previousky) baseball talk and for you to not discuss how the elections results might affect the golf world would be a dereliction of your “journalistic” responsibilities. Keep up the great content. I’m here for all of it.
On the question over confronting couple who jumped in front on 15th. Don't confront them but ask at pro shop why this happened. How does someone "jump in front" at that point in a round? Probably held things up for 10 or 15 minutes, don't let it ruin your day.
In my opinion Eamon didn’t like what Rory said so he is reacting to that. But for a reporter to suggest that a player should “say less” is crazy. Most of these guys already say nothing. Eamon said “some questions are best answered with a shrug….and deflection.” God that sounds boring as hell.
Mcilroy has been losing tournaments for years because of his putting, especially the last US Open. So he decides he is unhappy with his full swing??? OK……
