This Friday episode begins with an apology from Andy after a missed opportunity to discuss Kevin Roy (and his dad, Patrick) as part of our preview of The Cognizant Classic. Brendan moves things along to an early check-in at the South African Open where George Coetzee withdrew after a poor start, ending his run in this week's Game Within a Game. Another Game Within a Game participant is Ernie Els, who Andy claimed "looked a little husky" on the range. This Ernie discussion ushers in a brand-new Champions Tour Minute after Andy and PJ heard from a well-placed source that the "next big thing" on the senior circuit is not Tiger Woods or Zach Johnson, but another 50-year-old waiting to make his debut. The bulk of this episode focuses on some comments from pre-tournament press conferences at The Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches. Shane Lowry believes that the overseed course setup by the Tour's Championship Management has dramatically altered this event from a tough test to now something that looks green on television. Billy Horschel tried to shift the blame off the Tour and to the resort at PGA National, but Andy and Brendan aren't giving them the benefit of the doubt. This issue with the setups is even further exemplified at this week's KFT event at the Jockey Club, with Andy saying that the Tour has "completely ruined so many places." Ryan Gerard, the betting favorite at this event, also had some things to say before he teed off. Gerard has been a focus of the Tour's marketing efforts this week and Brendan thinks this can be a model for future "PGA-B" events potentially making stars. Gerard shared a story about playing with Scottie Scheffler and how Scottie manages to bridge the gap between clubs by playing a high-launching shot. Gerard has been chasing that shot and believes he has it, hoping that it'll lead to success at the majors this year. Brendan then shares a Flashback Friday segment on the 1991 Honda Classic, won by Steve Pate. This story has it all, including a legendary overclub challenge by Paul Azinger and a scorekeeper finding a lost ball.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta terça-feira (03/02/2026): Na cerimônia de abertura do ano judiciário, o presidente do STF, Edson Fachin, avançou em seu projeto para instituir um código de conduta dos ministros da Corte. “Reafirmo o compromisso com a adoção de um código de ética para o Tribunal”, disse. O ministro fez um discurso assertivo em defesa da “ponderação” e da “autocorreção” institucional e anunciou que Cármen Lúcia será a relatora da proposta. O gesto é uma demonstração de que, apesar de pressões externas e internas, Fachin seguirá com o propósito. No STF, a maioria dos integrantes é a favor do código, mas há resistências, especialmente de Alexandre de Moraes, Dias Toffoli e Gilmar Mendes, ministros com grande interlocução com a política.

À travers les films, les musiques ou les photographies, les favelas sont un symbole du Brésil. Ces quartiers pauvres et très densément peuplés sont aussi devenus des attractions touristiques. En 2023, les favelas de Rocinha et Vidigal étaient même plus visitées que le Pain de sucre et le Corcovado. En grande majorité, les touristes sont étrangers. Reportage dans la plus grande favela du Brésil, Rocinha, à Rio de Janeiro, où vivent près de 100 000 personnes. De notre correspondante à Rio de Janeiro, Le tour de la favela de Rocinha commence au sommet, après avoir grimpé la rue principale accrochée à un chauffeur de moto taxi. La douzaine de touristes européens admire la vue de Rio, sa baie, ses montagnes et ses contrastes sociaux. Au loin, la favela de Dona Marta, où Michael Jackson a tourné un clip, et à nos pieds, le très sélect Jockey Club. Nathalie, touriste venue de Pologne, tenait à visiter une favela au Brésil : « On voulait voir la réalité de la ville. Pas seulement passer nos vacances sur les plages de Copacabana ou Ipanema, mais aussi découvrir la vraie vie. Et on était assez curieux de la violence. Mais le fait d'avoir des guides locaux fait toute la différence. » Elle a choisi l'agence Trip in Rio. À sa tête, Milena Fernandes, qui a grandi à Rocinha. Plutôt que des photos « instagrammables », elle veut privilégier l'expérience de ses touristes. « J'aimerais que, dans leur avion de retour, les touristes se souviennent de cette jeune qui a discuté avec eux et qui leur a fait voir un autre côté de la ville de Rio. Parce que tous les symboles de Rio, comme la samba, ça a commencé ici. Donc, la meilleure façon de visiter la ville, c'est en immersion dans une favela », affirme Milena Fernandes. « Notre but, c'est de montrer la culture d'ici » La croissance du tourisme dans les favelas créé des emplois locaux. Une application a été mise en place pour tenter d'encadrer et mesurer l'ampleur du phénomène. Partenaire de Milena, Taina de Sousa parle de tourisme « conscient » : « Notre but, c'est de montrer la culture d'ici, qu'il existe des projets sociaux dans la favela et que c'est quelque chose qui change vraiment la vie des gens. On va aller voir une démonstration de capoeira. Les élèves de cette école participent à des tournois à l'étranger. » On emprunte un escalier étroit pour arriver sur cette terrasse où les groupes de touristes se succèdent. Un jeune homme prend la parole pour remercier l'assemblée et faire un appel aux dons. Beaucoup de jeunes des favelas voient désormais l'apprentissage de l'anglais comme une priorité. Rafael Santana est venu d'une favela du nord de Rio pour guider ce tour, et donner une vision alternative à celle des médias : « J'apprécie cette opportunité de pouvoir raconter comment c'est de vivre dans une favela. Comment c'est de grandir, quelles sont les difficultés, mais aussi les avantages. Parce qu'en grandissant dans une favela, on apprend très jeune à s'adapter à certains types de situations qui nous font devenir adulte un peu plus vite. » Ce type de visites se concentre dans la zone sud, où se trouvent les principales attractions touristiques. Mais Rafael espère un jour attirer des touristes dans les quartiers au nord de la ville.
