Chris Kirk claimed the Honda Classic in a playoff over Eric Cole to win his fifth career PGA Tour event. We recap Kirk's road back to winning on tour after struggles with alcoholism and depression, relive the wild finish on the final hole of regulation, and praise Cole's perseverance to continue his career on the mini tours.
Then it's on to Mayakoba and the first LIV event of 2023 and the first traditional TV broadcast. We discuss some rumblings of players who might want out of their contracts and the potential outcomes that could play out under such a scenario. We close the pod with an LPGA update, an early mock drafts of the European Ryder Cup team, and more.
