Andy and Brendan are off to the races immediately in this episode thanks to the first-ever TGL match and the content bonanza surrounding it. The two break down The Bay GC’s blowout win over NYGC immediately after things wrapped up on ESPN, saving their first reactions for the podcast and live show on YouTube. They discuss how the big screen (which can fit three dinosaurs inside it) played on TV, ESPN’s telecast, NYGC’s bizarre lineup construction, and so, so much more. Lifelong NYGC fan PJ is asked to make a statement on his team’s behalf after watching the worst New York season opener since Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles. There are takeaways from Tiger and Rory’s stints in the booth and Andy even takes a look at what kind of TGL merch is available for purchase before the Ballfrogs take the field inside the SoFi Center. PJ even makes a plea for a potential Champions Tour team in the virtual league. While most of this episode focuses on TGL, Andy and Brendan make their picks for this week’s Sony Open, which is still being played in the shadow of golf’s newest league and a loaded slate of playoff football. The two also discuss the Team Cup being played this week in Europe. Finally, Brendan and Andy touch on some news and notes such as Scottie Scheffler’s WD from the American Express, Tom McKibbin’s potential LIV offer, and LIV finalizing its schedule for 2025.

Why is dj khaled anywhere near this, he’s best mates with diddy! Someone made a big mistake
Kinda felt like watching American gladiators when I was a kid…kept waiting for Turbo to blast through the screen and blow up Lowery
Andy how we doin? BRENDAN!!!!!! ……can you two please consider starting with something new, less cringy!
That crap makes every LIV tournament look like a major
Can we get an audio clip of PJ saying, “It’s bad. It’s real bad.” for Andy’s soundboard?
Where was Cam Young?
who is DJ Khaled? I'm old but mildly tuned in but have no idea who this guy is or what his connection to golf events are. Biggest fear, they have him doing a major….
Eject dj khaled into the sun
I remember one part where they showed the teams using the touch screens to strategize about where they wanted to aim their next shots and really enjoyed that. I hope they start highlighting that more often.
