In this jam-packed episode, we dive into the rich history of The Open Championship, starting with its origins as a 54-hole event, much like LIV Golf. We discuss the controversies and major snubs caused by the outdated OWGR ranking system, focusing on why Sergio Garcia and Greg Norman deserve their spots at The Open. Discover why Sergio Garcia, fresh off a win at Valderrama, should play his 100th major at Royal Troon, and why two-time British Open Champion and LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman is a surprising snub.
We argue that if John Daly is invited, so should Greg Norman be. Tune in to hear our expert picks to win from both LIV Golf and the PGA Tour, featuring insights from hosts Aaron, Mac, Cheech, and Jerome. We also place a fun bet on where Jordan Spieth will finish this week. Don’t miss this exciting episode filled with bold predictions and deep analysis!

who is your pick to win The Open? 🤣✌️
Just for clarity, you’re only allowed to play in the open championship until age 60…. And I believe it’s recently been adjusted to age 55. Sergio and Richard Bland should definitely have received an invite!. I’m picking Cam Smith because of the wide-open fairways.
