In Part 2 of Episode 60, I close out 2024 and Season 11 with two of my favorite people, John Inman and Matthew Laurance. John is always a blast to talk to, and his stories from his playing days on Tour to his time as the Head Men's Golf Coach at the University of North Carolina are nothing short of fantastic. We dive into the impact of the changes coming to NIL deals plus roster changes in college sports. Then we get into, all the PGA Tour's newly approved adjustments to field sizes and the number of available Tour cards starting in 2026. I also get John's thoughts on his brother Joe becoming an Advisor to the PGA Tour Policy Board. Several of Joe's peers have told me he'd make a great Tour Commissioner, and while he once dismissed the idea as more hassle than it's worth, perhaps he's had a change of heart—I sure hope so. You can follow John on X/Twitter @audubonjohn62 To wrap up this season, I'll be joined by my good friend Matthew Laurance for another of our always lively conversations. We touch on the same NIL and PGA Tour changes, discuss his thoughts on the TGL League, and share some incredible celebrity golf stories that are guaranteed to make you laugh—I know I did! Be sure to follow Matthew on X/Twitter @reallauro5 and stay tuned in March when his show, Backspin Golf, returns to WLXG.com, ESPN Radio in Lexington, Kentucky which you can stream online or on the WLXG app.
Andy and Brendan return from the weekend with some excitement as Alejandro Tosti made it through Q-School on Sunday, securing his PGA Tour card for 2025 and ensuring another year of major league Tosti Tales. After a Swag Sports Minute about Brendan's experience at the Capitals game, it's time for the second men's major of 2024 on the Year in Review. Part 6 starts with the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. Andy runs through the early week storylines such as Jimmy Dunne's resignation from the PGA Tour Policy Board and Mother Nature cancelling just one pre-tournament press conference due to a Tuesday storm - Michael Block's. From there, Brendan recaps Xander's course record 62 on Thursday, yet another hit for Blockie this week, before diving in to the madness of Scottie Scheffler's arrest on Friday morning. Jeff Darlington's tweets are read and $80 pants that were "damaged beyond repair" are discussed in this segment remembering one of the most chaotic days in golf. PJ slides in next to take the lead for the weekend, detailing Xander's transformation from housecat to bobcat, Bryson's showmanship ahead of Pinehurst, and Scottie's Saturday with the PGA Tour's chaplain on the bag. He also recalls Andy's early shouts for Justin Thomas to switch to the broom for his putting. Next, Andy shares some tales from his pro-am round with Blockie at the Charles Schwab Championship alongside the latest developments in the Scottie Scheffler case in its second week. Elsewhere, Richard Bland won the Senior PGA, leading to a hilariously passive aggressive tweet from the PGA Tour Champions announcing his victory. To wrap things up, Brendan looks back at the week of the RBC Canadian Open, won by Big Shot Bob MacIntyre with his dad on the bag. Nelly Korda makes a 10 on a par 3 at the U.S. Women's Open, a bird gets killed by a golf ball, and C.T. Pan goes through four caddies in one round in Canada.

Well, the mules have slowed Year in Review progress to a crawl. Brendan and Andy react to a letter from a law firm signed by 21 PGA Tour players from the “mule” category, or maybe something else, demanding to be heard and wanting transparency into the PGA Tour Policy Board's process. They read down the list of names one by one trying to ascertain the motivation and success probability of this kicking and screaming. Then they also get into Tony Finau allegedly turning away from LIV to return to the PGA Tour, but the rumor hot stove just kicking back up in full force with a few other names. Q School finals are given event of the week with a few nuggets on its return. Then they get to the Year in Review Part 6, which is solely on the PGA Championship at Oak Hill and the arrival of Michael Block into our lives.

Tom Patri and I talk golf conspiracy theories like Jon Rahm leaving for LIV, why Rory resigned from the PGA Tour Policy Board and looking at moving back to England, why NBC Sports let Paul Azinger and 15-year Producer Brandt Packer go, and what happens if the LIV/PGA Tour merger doesn't go through. Paul Alexander can be heard on 93.7 The Fan up in Pittsburgh. He is an expert on not only Pittsburgh sports, but also Western PA golf. I get his thoughts on the Steelers now that Matt Canada is gone plus if the Penguins can make to the post season. Paul recently emceed the Western Pennsylvania Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony and we hear about that night and in particular Mke McGee, Annika Sorenstam's husband, inducting his father Jerry McGee.

Jordan Spieth is a fitting replacement for Rory McIlroy on the PGA Tour Policy Board. The replacement for Paul Azinger in the NBC golf broadcast team, Curt Byrum, may not have been the most exciting choice.

Andy and Brendan recap an eventful week in golf, but first there are some questions about the winning caddie now all of a sudden getting a trophy or award and how that is judged. This is a cause to talk about the massive weekend for Jay Monahans, one the winning caddie of the U.S. Women's Open and the other returning from his leave of absence. They discuss Allisen Corpuz's breakthrough win at that event, praising her and Charley Hull's Sunday rounds. There is time dedicated to Annika's sketchy drop on Friday night. They also discuss Pebble's place as a steward of the game, and whether its presentation and the USGA setup this week are a good example of that. There is great delight in the Sepptic Tank rumbling his way to a John Deere win, and what it means for Sqairz coming to the Ryder Cup. News closes it out with the announcement that Monahan is coming back to be Commissioner next week, and that Randall Stephenson has resigned his spot on the PGA Tour Policy Board. They ponder a motive for that and what it means in the elbowing to get the framework settled or scuttled.

We also do our best to answer the LIV related questions, predict what comes next at PGA Tour HQ and what they can do the properly message their plans moving forward.

Today's guest is Andy Gardiner, the man behind the Premier Golf League, the self-styled Formula One for professional golf whose promising to generate $1.8billion of annual revenue and $10billon of equity value by 2031. This comes a week after our podcast with Sean Bratches from the rival disruptor league, Saudi backed LIV Golf. Since we spoke, Bratches has resigned.As you'll hear in our conversation, Gardiner is bullish on the PGL's chances of breaking the current stalemate with the PGA Tour, by offering a revenue share agreement to the players and demanding their representatives on the PGA Tour Policy Board publish an independent valuation on the PGL's projections .The stakes are very high and the proposal would change professional golf forever, something Gardiner refers to as a 'multi generational opportunity' for the game. The deadline for a decision is looming and the PGA Tour is countering with threats to the players livelihoods and attempts to undermine Gardiner's projected figures.Gardiner says: "When we started out, there was a genuine feeling amongst the best players in the world that they were over subsidizing the rest of the membership. And we heard that from sponsors and we heard it from broadcasters because they said, yes, we really only care about 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 guys. Those are the ones who move the needle. That's why we're paying the money we're paying".Today's episode is sponsored by our friends at Turnstile.Turnstile uses real market rates to quantify the value every single sponsorship right within a deal, looking beyond the traditional media metrics to calculate the value of the Exposure, Intellectual Property and Direct Benefits.This enables Turnstile to deliver a recommended transaction price that's comprehensive, accurate and defensible.So don't pay too much.
