The PGA Tour gets on the board this year with an outstanding Players Championship from start to finish. Brendan, still shaking off the cobwebs from the trip to Northern Ireland, is joined by Shane Bacon for this wide-ranging recap that begins with some Sunday parenting horror stories before getting into audacious Tiger-like comps for the back-to-back Players winner. The two discuss what impresses them most about Scottie Scheffler and if those in and around the game have undersold him and this run. Then they hand out grades for the handful of contenders, and non-contenders, as well as the coverage, course, Big Jay, and Johnson Wagner. It’s a tough grade for Xander and Rory. Then they close out the episode with some news and quote roulette on Rory discussing Yasir’s impending visit and meeting with the board, Peppy Peter on player control, and Jimmy Walker sounding off on a range of topics that left us puzzled.

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.
