Andy and Brendan! are buzzing and ready to preview the year's first major from the Draddy House in Augusta. The two return from a day at the course to discuss the biggest storylines entering the week before sharing their favorite tee times and making one-and-done picks. They start with Rory McIlroy, wondering if this will be the year he wins a green jacket to complete the career Grand Slam. From there, Andy commends defending champion Scottie Scheffler, who will enter this week without a win in 2025. They also dive into fellow contenders Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg, and a LIV contingent featuring Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, Joaquin Niemann, and more. In favorite tee times, Brendan is excited about a grouping for a young player getting a lot of love this week and sets up a lengthy discussion about Jordan Spieth. Andy and Brendan empty their notebooks with notes from the ground before bringing PJ in to recap his first-time experience at Augusta National to close the show.

The Shotgun Start with Andy Johnson and Brendan Porath of Fried Egg Golf is a podcast waiting for you early in the morning that quickly blasts through a variety of topics (usually) related to golf and (ideally) relevant to the day. It covers news from the pro tours around the world, amusing and important topics from the amateur game the rest of us play, and some irreverent stuff in between. There will be short interviews, previews, reviews, and dives into the archives. It provides what you need to know on golf through a rapid and fun catch-up discussion.
