LIV's season ending tournament

John dives into how Scottie Scheffler is very easy to root for and even though he's the best golfer in the world people still want him to win and are not rooting for the underdog. Later, John discusses the state of the PGA Tour and how unless they merge with LIV or find a way to get people interested in the tour again, viewership is going to continue to decline. Lastly, John reacts to the LIV Tour ending their season at a public course in Chicago and how that should never happen.
