If you're interested in astrology, PGA cleanup, and the most comprehensive preview of the Senior PGA Championship, this is the episode for you! Still basking in the afterglow of Scottie's win at the PGA, Andy and Brendan are in high spirits for this Wednesday episode. They first debate what a fair over-under is for Scottie Scheffler's career major wins and emphasize how hard it is to sustain an elite level of play for ten years. The two then do some more PGA wrap up and briefly look ahead to Oakmont and Royal Portrush, where they expect Jon Rahm to be a contender. On the PGA Tour, Scottie will tee it up again in Dallas for the Charles Schwab Challenge. Joining him there are Corey Pavin, Olin Browne, and David Frost, leading Brendan to question whether these olds will be competitive at Colonial. After making some fire picks for the week, this episode turns into a full-on preview of the Senior PGA Championship at Congressional. Brendan and PJ go through the field and discuss notables, including Andy's favorite, Lee Westwood! There are odds out there for this event, so picks are made for this major championship as well.

Andy and Brendan are flying high after another strong major championship week of golf and daily podcasts. They get right to it with this recap marveling at Scottie Scheffler’s weekend at Quail Hollow, from the all-time Saturday finish that went right into the ugly Sunday start to a win that provokes thoughts of a multi-major summer to come. What’s left for him to solve and are there further questions that need answering? They get into the mental load he can put on his competitors, including Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau on the weekend. They discuss the joy of having Rahm back in the hunt and how it came undone on the back nine. They get into some amusing Bryson quotes about his equipment and needing to find a ball that flies straighter with over 190 mph speeds. Also, has his major play been more brilliant or sloppy lately? They grade out several more near the top of the non-Scottie leaderboard, including Joaquin Niemann’s first ever top 10. Rory’s week is given a review, from the scores to the media freeze out. Also graded is the CT Machine, the Quail Hollow major setup, and the PGA of America as a whole led by Don Rea. Then PJ jumps on late to debrief on a WILD Champions Tour scramble in the dark as well as a possible auction scandal at the PGA.

This is a beefy Wednesday episode with Andy and Brendan previewing the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club. Two days of rain in Charlotte might've stopped some practice rounds, but it did not stop anyone at the microphone as Tuesday pressers provided incredible quotes for discussion. Andy and Brendan kick things off with some course discussion after players such as Justin Thomas and Scottie Scheffler admitted to the media that Quail Hollow doesn't require much thought off-the-tee. It's debated whether the hate on Quail Hollow has gone too far and the impact of weather is a hot topic as we get closer to the tournament beginning. The favorites are discussed at length, with full segments on Scottie Scheffler (making his tournament debut at Quail), Rory McIlroy (storied history at this course), and Bryson DeChambeau (hit a hole-in-one over his house this offseason). Picks are made from the premier golf gambling podcast with no one overthinking the second major of the year. PJ joins in to discuss best and worst tee times, of which there are many, before the attention turns to the PGA of America presser from Tuesday afternoon. Andy and Brendan do a deep dive on the topics discussed by PGA of America CEO Derek Sprague, PGA of America President Don Rea, and Chief Championship Officer Kerry Haigh. We're fired up for another week of daily shows after each round, so stay tuned throughout the week.

Andy and Brendan gather for this “signature” recap from the Truist Championship at Philly Cricket Club. They list what they liked, and what they didn’t like from the weekend in Philadelphia. There is much pomp and circumstance about the Sepptic Tank rumbling his way to another win, and they handicap his chances for the PGA in Charlotte. There is also a Rory temperature check after a top 10 week and the next major now here. They debate whether this new schedule “sucks” and if it should have been Players week instead. The rollback debate that erupted based on the initial scores at the 7100 yard classic course is revisited, with notes about trees and Lucas Glover trying to have his cake and eat it too. There’s a Justin Thomas assessment as well — is he all the way back?? There’s some quick reaction to the Myrtle Beach Classic, LPGA, and DP World Tour as well before news signs off on a possible Rory trip to Australia and two new trademarked TGL names.

Brendan goes full Data Boy and shares some insight into Rory's round and the "big bops" he's hitting on the 7,100-yard course. Andy and Brendan discuss how events at courses like Philly Cricket Club show the need for an equipment rollback as these places are overpowered by today's game. Next week's PGA Championship is briefly previewed, as Andy wonders why there's "no juice" for a major championship. In news, Detroit looks to be getting the first TGL expansion team - much to Andy's chagrin - and Brendan shares another piece of PJ's "Forrest Gump" past life.
