LIV’s future and the Framework Agreement 2 years later, Tiering Oakmont contenders, and Flashback to 2016 chaos

We are wishing a happy June 6th to you and yours, wherever you may be! Brendan barely has a voice but is still ready to celebrate the second anniversary of the Framework Agreement with Andy on this fine Friday episode. The two open with a lengthy discussion about the future of LIV Golf and the current status of this 731 day-old agreement between the PIF and PGA Tour. They debate whether the two sides ever actually come together and if not, what the best path forward is for everyone involved. From there, this is a bit of an Oakmont preview episode ahead of the 125th U.S. Open next week. Andy has Brendan and PJ attempt to place the top of the field into tiers, with some commentary on players such as Ludvig Åberg, Joaquin Niemann, and Justin Rose. Andy also goes down the list a bit to find a deep sleeper who has the short game to win a U.S. Open at a course like Oakmont. Brendan turns back the clock for a Flashback Friday on the 2016 U.S. Open and the rules controversy that loomed over Dustin Johnson's final round. He shares some tweets from Rory, Spieth, and even Rickie who were watching live and were not pleased with the USGA's handling of the situation. To close things out, Joseph LaMagna stops by bring Ernie Els's 1994 U.S. Open win into question after discovering some sketchy drops during the final round.
