This Monday episode quickly gets into the Sunday finish at the Cognizant Classic, where Jake Knapp melted on the back nine and Joe Highsmith shot a 64 to secure his first PGA Tour win.

Highsmith and his caddie, Joe LaCava Jr., get props from Brendan and Andy for back-to-back 64s on the weekend, earning the win after making the cut on the number. Brendan shares some on-the-ground reports from a listener about the "worst edition" of the PGA National event yet.

Hideki Matsuyama ran away with the win, but Rory McIlroy, Max Homa, and Jordan Spieth struggled to find any form in Memphis. Brendan also shares some laughs from the U.S. Amateur and the NFL preseason. PJ then leads the way for the second stage of the playoffs, a Keegan Bradley win at Castle Pines for the BMW Championship. Scottie got angry at the course, Billy Boy was nervous about protecting the points, and Lydia Ko won the Women's Open at St Andrews. Finally, as always, Andy dedicated his time to researching the Net Tour Championship, the cherry on top of Scottie Scheffler's 2024 season.

Andy and Brendan start this Monday episode riding high from big college football wins over the weekend despite a lack of NFL success on Sunday afternoon. The two begin by unpacking the SGS Leaderboard of the Year at the BMW PGA Championship overseas, with a Billy Horschel-Rory McIlroy playoff to finish off what was another great tournament on the DP World Tour. They discuss the playoff itself, Billy's winning weekend, Rory's play coming down the stretch, and whether "The Great" Manassero has what it takes to get it done on the Euro Tour. The episode then takes a slight turn towards this week's Presidents Cup, as Billy Horschel has now won yet another tournament following the selection of a U.S. team. Next, Andy and Brendan hit on Lydia Ko and the LPGA Queen City Championship, keeping her incredible season going with another win. The premier Champions Tour gambling podcast then tries to justify a poor week of picks for the PURE Insurance Championship, as Brendan put the cooler on Richard Green's hot streak, Andy didn't put in the necessary research for a win, and Producer PJ couldn't find anywhere to bet on Steven Alker in Las Vegas.

Mark, Lou, and Greg continue to take measured data from Tour swings and see what it tells us for making real improvement in our games. In this episode, Mark quizzes Greg and Lou about the elbows: particularly, how far apart Lydia Ko's elbows are at address versus at the top of the swing. Do they get closer together, further apart, or maintain the same distance? And what about one of Mark's own measured swings? You've seen training holds that either hold the elbows together (with a sleeve or a strap) or ask you to pinch a ball between your elbows. Do they work? If so, what are they trying to accomplish? Once again, you'll have thing you learn that can make you a better golfer.

We discuss a lot of different "Cups" on today's show. We start off with Keegan Bradley's win at the BMW in Denver. We get into the cut line of the top 30 in the FedEx Cup playoffs as well. There is a session complaining about the rules of golf after Matt Fitzpatrick is denied a new driver head after his cracks. We then get into the President's Cup teams, standings and potential captain's picks, which lead into a Ryder Cup discussion surrounding Keegan's captaincy. We touch on Lydia Ko's in at St. Andrews real fast before we make our picks for the Tour Championship this week.

Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley slipped into the field in the 50th place after Tom Kim melted down at the FedEx St. Jude Classic in Memphis a week ago and took full advantage at Castle Pines by winning the BMW Championship and vaulting himself into 4th place in the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup standings with one week to play. The Break80 Podcast was in Colorado at Castle Pines and we will give you some insights to what we saw and heard on the ground this week, including our time inside the ropes with Peyton Manning and Wyndham Clark. The President's Cup automatic qualifiers are set for the United States and International teams for next month's event in Montreal. We will talk about who we think would be great captain's picks and who we don't like. Lydia Ko stayed on a heater by winning the AIG Women's Open in miserable conditions at the Old Course this week. Ko emerged from a packed leaderboard that included multiple former number 1 players to win her first Open Championship and add to her hall of fame resume.

They start at St. Andrews, where Lydia Ko pulled off the win to add to her Olympic gold from earlier this month.

After that, the Swag Golf Sports Minute debuts, with Andy wondering why Week Zero exists in college football before he reveals his new secret weapon for fantasy football success. The conversation then seamlessly shifts to the FedEx Cup Playoffs, where Captain Keegan Bradley made his Presidents Cup case stronger with a win at the BMW Championship.
