Homa in the Heartland, Anti-Rollback poster boy Brian Campbell wins, and new FEC bonus money spread

Andy celebrates yet another Victory Monday coming out of the holiday weekend as he joins Brendan! to recap Brian Campbell's second playoff win of 2025. The two discuss the John Deere Classic and how Campbell is being positioned as an "anti-rollback" hero by winning twice as one of the shortest hitters on the PGA Tour. They also chat about other contenders in the Quad Cities with Max Homa showing glimpses of good form and Matt Kuchar sharing more wisdom with young players late on a summer Sunday. Kevin Roy, son of Patrick, turned to the platform formerly known as Twitter to defend himself against Joseph LaMagna about a rules issue on Saturday, leaving Andy and Brendan to wonder what all the fuss was about. PJ chimes in with some conspiracy theories regarding Aldrich Potgieter's mysterious withdrawal before the episode turns to the DP World Tour and author Dan Brown's latest win. Just in time for Coffee Golf season, Brown has returned to the winner's circle and will surely play a prominent role at Royal Portrush in a few weeks. Brendan and PJ are also giddy about the latest star from the Tartan Tour, Chris Maclean. Elsewhere overseas, Lottie Woad won the KPMG Women's Irish Open by six shots, her first win in a professional event. Andy and Brendan debate whether she should take her LPGA Tour card this year once she earns enough points, or play out her senior season at FSU next spring. In news, Lucas Glover is ready for the Scottish Open and is glad no LIV players received an invite, and the new FedEx Cup payout structure has been revealed. This episode ends with a tribute to Ed Fiori, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 72.
