Andy is back! He joins Brendan! for this Wednesday episode previewing another packed week of golf in November. The two first discuss the DP World Tour Championship where The Bumblebee (among others) is getting fit for a 2027 Ryder Cup uniform. In pre-tournament press conferences, Rory McIlroy emphasized that he'd never be in Bryson DeChambeau's shoes and Jon Rahm shared his thoughts on the distance issues in today's game fresh off his win last week. Andy brings 5 Guys to Monitor back for the PGA Tour's Austin Championship and pleads for a beloved fast-casual burger chain to sponsor the segment moving forward. PJ is also back in the saddle today and is ready for a match play situation between Stew Cink and Zatch Johnson at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. Andy and Brendan wrap up with some quick bits of news before diving into Frank Kennedy's disqualification from DPWT Q-School and the ensuing social media statement graphics that came with it.

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.

With the news that LIV Golf is officially shutting down, Brendan hosts a Friday medley episode featuring Sujeet Indap of the Financial Times, Joel Beall of Golf Digest, and Fried Egg Golf’s Joseph LaMagna to dissect LIV’s demise and its ramifications. Brendan brings on Sujeet to find out how the deal with BC Partners fell apart and how agents squabbling over their share of LIV’s carcass helped derail the venture. Next, Joel joins for a retrospective on LIV, its impact on professional golf, and how key figures like Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Phil Mickelson will be remembered for their roles in the Saudi-backed rebel league. Finally, Brendan and Joseph reconvene to bat around a couple of the day’s other newsworthy developments, including a two-shot penalty for Rory McIlroy in Abu Dhabi and Colonial Country Club getting booted from the PGA Tour calendar.

LIV Golf Is Officially Dead

This episode is off the rails, on the rails, fishtailing about, and careens to a soft landing, maybe. Brendan and Joseph somehow get stuck early on the topic of Tiger Woods designing a golf course on Long Island, and if he’s not practicing what’s preached in the nascent days of that career. Then they get to the YASSS Links and the the DP World Tour playoffs near the Strait of Hormuz in a hot zone of the world. They comb through Jon Rahm’s quotes in his first appearance since it came out that he would not be going with LIV 2.0, and also review Guy Kinnings prospectus for the DPWT future. Is the Euro Tour back baby!? There’s also an impromptu segment on what guys should have gone to LIV but didn’t, like Tony Finau, who is playing this week on the PGA Tour. This entire premise disgusts Joseph. They close with some news on the Golf Channel Games, an LPGA Q school mess, Alker laying down the law on LIV guys coming to the Senior Circuit, and a new sponsor for the Good Good Championship.
