Andy Johnson is joined by Fried Egg Golf's Kevin Van Valkenburg and Joseph LaMagna for an early look at the 2026 Masters.

Andy, Kevin, and Joseph also debate whether Jordan Spieth or Justin Rose can make a run at this year's tournament. To wrap things up, they look at Rory McIlroy and what we can expect from his first title defense.
