Spieth’s Fit for the Swamp, TGL dysfunctional franchises, and Coetzee Zone moment

A 9 p.m. TGL match had Andy and Brendan ready for a late night live show for this Wednesday episode. The two react to the week that was in the SoFi Dome, with Brendan sharing details from his in-person experience watching the Ballfrogs lose yet again on Monday night. With losses by Jupiter Links and NYGC as well, all three teams will have a chance to make the playoffs in the final week of the regular season. Andy and Brendan discuss Tuesday night's match between The Bay and Jup Links, critiquing the broadcast and wondering if the product is better without the pressure of Tiger playing. They shout out stellar performances by "Tom Sim" and "Dr. Chipinski" Min Woo Lee, helping to make Tuesday's match entertaining. Andy updates his model and spits out this week's TGL Power Rankings with the Ballfrogs tumbling down the graphic. The Bay GC is standing tall at No. 1, but PJ wonders if there's some underlying metrics that could present a problem for them in the playoffs. The conversation then shifts to this week's Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches, where Jordan Spieth feels he's a good fit for the course at PGA National. Andy and Brendan aren't so sure, and Spieth goes unpicked as a Hammer, Lock, Fire selection for this week. The South African Open on the DP World Tour presents a bevy of Games Within a Game for longtime SGS listeners. In news, "Full Swing" returned to Netflix on Tuesday and Brendan makes a cameo in an early episode! Brendan also shares some quotes from Peter Malnati regarding a potential PIF-PGA Tour deal and President Trump's involvement in negotiations. Finally, one of Andy's favorites has a PR firm asking for coverage of his new life after golf.
