Andy and Brendan are in high spirits and excited for Augusta, starting this show by choosing a player they'd like to see play himself into the field for next week. There's some more discussion about the Masters having range data for all players throughout the week, prompting Andy to ask PJ how to use these numbers for a gambling edge. Elsewhere in golf, the stars are out and speaking to media at LIV Doral, where Brooks Koepka was critical of the league's standing in year four despite its new CEO spending three months on changing a marketing phrase. Brendan shares some rumors about Bryson's non-participation in this week's "Duel" with YouTube creators and whether he actually owns his own YouTube channel he's been running for the last few years.

This Wednesday episode focuses on two scandals currently unfolding across the sports world. Andy and Brendan! are disappointed to miss out on a First of the Month recording, but are fired up about the field construction for the Valero Texas Open. The field was expanded to 156 players with full status, but would need to shrink to 144 before allowing any alternates into the field. Andy wonders how players on major medicals, career money exemptions, or sponsor exemptions could reasonably jump an alternate such as Hayden Springer, who's currently ranked 78th in the FedEx Cup. From there, the two discuss some fallout from last week's Houston Open after seeing some unfounded criticism of Memorial Park. Picks are made for Valero, as PJ looks to stay hot following his winning selection of Dr. Chipinski. Brendan then prompts Andy for more thoughts on the torpedo bat "scandal" in baseball and how the technologically-advanced equipment can relate to golf. The Schedule for the Week is laid out with an ANWA preview, some LPGA scheduling thoughts, and some groundwork for LIV and Champs Tour discussions on Friday. In news, Dallas is in talks to get a TGL franchise, filling the Luka-sized hole in the city's heart, and Billy Boy picks up a new partner for the Zurich.

It was an SGS-heavy finish at the Texas Children's Houston Open, where Dr. Chipinski, Min Woo Lee, was grouped with podcast favorites Alejandro Tosti and Ryan Fox in the final round. The Doctor was IN on Sunday, with Min Woo barely holding off a charging Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland for his first career PGA Tour win. Andy kicks this episode off with a Victory Monday celebration for PJ, whose hammer came down on the correct player this week in Houston. Brendan and Andy then unpack Tosti's Sunday, a round filled with various run-ins with rules officials and his fellow players. They debate whether the NBC broadcast was too mean to him after repeatedly criticizing his pace-of-play throughout the final stretch. Min Woo gets planety of shine, but his choice to lag putt on both 17 and 18 on Sunday leaves the group wondering if he'll have to give up being Dr. Chipinski moving forward. In Houston Open wrap-up, Brendan and Andy discuss Sami Valimaki tying the course record, Gary Woodland's return to the top of a leaderboard, and Rory McIlroy's new elbow injury he revealed after his top-10 finish. Former Fireball Eugenio Chacarra took down the Hero Indian Open at DLF, securing him a DP World Tour card through 2027 after his departure from LIV at the end of last season. Brendan adds some color from on-the-ground reports at DLF, had only three players finish under par in a weak field for the DP World Tour. On the Champions Tour, Steve Allan won a pro event for the first time in 23 years after getting into the Galleri Classic as an alternate earlier this week. PJ shares some updates from Bob Papa in Champs Tour Minute and alludes to some potential upcoming content with a local Champs Tour legend. In news, Brendan drops that some people inside the moat at PGA Tour HQ are concerned about LIV Miami's broadcast on "Big FOX" this week out-rating the Valero Texas Open. Per request, this episode ends with a short discussion on the new bats in Major League Baseball and how golf can learn from what MLB decides on their legality.

This recording was delayed until Monday morning because life is better with Andy by Brendan's side! Andy's in the dumps following the Illini's loss to Kentucky in the Round of 32, but his spirits were lifted by Tiger Woods hard-launching his relationship with Vanessa Trump on Sunday night. Brendan and Andy unpack all aspects of Tiger's post, from the bizarre caption to the posed photos prominently featuring the Sun Day Red logo.

This episode starts with some TGL notes after barely watching the semi-finals, leading to agreement that the indoor league needs to wrap before The Players takes place in 2026.
