Andy and Brendan convene after a couple days at Medinah taking the temperature of the 2026 Presidents Cup, and getting some troubling intel on Andy’s youthful indiscretions in Chicago. They react to the Day 1 lineup cards and the strategizing by each captain’s room as they set Four Ball for Thursdays. They react to some of the pairings, matchups, and highlight where the USA could be vulnerable and what needs to happen for the Internationals to have a chance come Sunday. There’s ample scuttlebutt from the grounds, including Andy being mistaken for an International team staff member, Brendan providing bulletin board material, and much more. They Boys join in with their notes from the ground and three things they’re especially excited about for this P Cup, which includes lots of chatter on the golf course. Medinah’s renovation, re-routing, and conditioning are put in the cross hairs. Lastly, they make some predictions and prognosticate how this could go well for the Internationals and the potential weak spots for the USA if so.
