The Shotgun Start13 Nov 2024

Zinger is back!, Mav rescues the mules, and Bears cataclysm

This Wednesday morning recording is an in-person episode recorded over the internet, as Brendan and Andy are in Texas for the Fried Egg Golf offsite. Andy starts this episode with the debut of a new segment, "Nico Echavarria Minute," relaying the latest in stats and news for the audience's favorite FedEx Fall stalwart. Up next is a preview of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, as the two discussing notables in the field and noting the entire group of FedEx Fall Bubble Boys will be in attendance this week. Creator Classic stars and YouTube Golfers Wesley and George Bryan are paired together for this tournament, leading Andy and Brendan to wonder what kind of auxiliary content may come from Bermuda. They then unpack a Golfweek article discussing Maverick McNealy's research into FedEx Cup point "inequity" on the PGA Tour, as he found that Signature Events award a disproportionate amount of points compared to majors and non-Signature Events. From there, it's the first-ever offseason "Champs Tour Minute" as Paul Azinger has signed on to replace Lanny Wadkins as the lead television analyst for the PGA Tour Champions. PJ also shows off his custom Champions Tour t-shirt, delivered by a listener after a missed connection in Phoenix. Caitlin Clark is playing in the pro-am for the LPGA's The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, leading to big crowds on Wednesday. On the DP World Tour, Rory McIlroy is set to win the season-long race at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. Andy and Brendan discuss Adrian Meronk's comments calling for the PGA Tour to be focused on America and a new tour to be focused on golf in the rest of the world... which is what the DP World Tour used to be. In news and notes, the two discuss the Dunlop Phoenix event and how Dunlop tennis balls may be leading to player injuries, LIV's first batch of tournaments for 2025, and the Chicago Bears changing offensive coordinators after such an incredible start to the year.
