As promised on Wednesday's episode, Kevin Van Valkenburg returns to discuss the 2021 BMW Championship at Caves Valley and the ensuing SGS episode that continues to live in infamy. Before KVV comes in, Brendan keeps PJ in the big chair to run through some press conference quotes and results from the first round of this year's BMW. Brendan unleashes a rant about the proliferation of the Little League World Series across ESPN properties, leading to a lengthy discussion about the state of youth sports and selling out to private equity. From there, early storylines from the BMW start to emerge including plenty about next month's Ryder Cup. Scottie Scheffler doesn't want to talk about the upcoming matches at Bethpage, but Rory and Keegan both had some thoughts about a playing captain in their pre-tournament pressers in Baltimore. Brendan and PJ also preview LIV Indianapolis, share some concern about Xander Schauffele in this lost season for him, and check in on match play at the U.S. Am. KVV then comes in to join Brendan as the two remember their time at the birth of "Patty Ice" against a villainous Bryson DeChambeau at the 2021 BMW Championship.

Brendan! and PJ run amok on this episode while Andy's out on a boat somewhere. They have a lengthy food discussion to kick things off with the "Burger Dog" at The Olympic Club has taken center stage at the U.S. Am. There is debate about the merits of Chicago cuisine, bagels from just anywhere, and Phil Mickelson's Portillo's experiences in Bolingbrook last week. Tommy Fleetwood's tour of the 30 MLB stadiums has also continued after he was spotted at Camden Yards on Tuesday evening. He's in town for the BMW Championship at Caves Valley in Baltimore, best known as the birthplace of "Patty Ice" in 2021. Brendan and PJ take a small look back at that event, with more to come on Friday thanks to a special guest. Picks are made for the second round of the playoffs and PJ argues that this driver-wedge fest may be a proper way to crown a champion of the PGA Tour season. They run through the rest of the Schedule of the Week before dropping in some news about Versant and NBC striking a rights deal for the USGA Championships. If you still have cable, you're in good company here! Brendan then calls on Golf Channel's Brentley Romine for some onsite coverage of the aforementioned U.S. Am, burger glizzies and all.

Andy is once again lost at sea on a potentially Great lake, so "The Boys" jump in to recap the first round of the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs with Brendan! After an update from PJ on Don Rea's custom shoes for next month's Ryder Cup, Joseph LaMagna and Brendan dive into an eventful Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Justin Rose exorcised some playoff demons, defeating J.J. Spaun on the third extra hole at TPC Initech. Rose and Spaun locked up automatic qualifier spots for their respective Ryder Cup squads, but the main story was yet another Sunday collapse by 54-hole leader Tommy Fleetwood. Brendan and Joseph discuss Fleetwood's play on Sunday and Joseph shares some insight into an impactful course management decision that may have tipped some off to the impending collapse. Also of note, the Chaplain returned to Scottie's bag for Sunday and Mr. 1,000 shined again in one of the strongest fields of the year. There's plenty of chatter about the "Bubble Boys" of the FedEx Cup Top 50, as Rickie Fowler used his season of sponsor exemptions to cash a trip to Caves Valley, but Jordan Spieth is going home. As per usual this time of year, a lengthy Ryder Cup debate over Spieth's current status unfolds with Brendan playing the role of "public defender" for the three-time major champ. NBC's broadcast left a lot to be desired, worrying the trio about what's to come at the Ryder Cup next month. Elsewhere in golf, LIV had a double playoff at Bolingbrook, Megha Ganne won the U.S. Women's Am, and the President called in to congratulate the latest DPWT winner. After a brief Champions Tour Minute and a few news items, PJ convinces Brendan to give a statement on the Browns finding their franchise quarterback in Shedeur Sanders.

A true Friday episode about nothing seems fitting for the first round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Andy and Brendan immediately jump in on some Ryder Cup discourse after Akshay Bhatia's Thursday 62 that has him in the lead at the FedEx St. Jude at TPC Initech. The two discuss whether players like Bhatia, Bud Cauley, or even Harry Hall could do anything in the playoffs to cement their case for a captain's pick ahead of next month's matches at Bethpage Black. There's some continued action on the caddie carousel, with Collin Morikawa debuting a new man on the bag in Memphis. Andy seeks out some help from our AI overlords about why Morikawa has issues finding a permanent caddie, and Tony Finau reveals that he, too, is playing the new Titleist ball that Fordie Pitts gave Mr. 1,000 last week. Brendan continues his crusade about PGA Tour history and the calculation that led to Mr. 1,000, finding that the PGA Tour wins record should NOT be 82 after all! Speaking of PGA Tour insanity, their latest "Perfect 30" fantasy game for the FedEx Cup Playoffs asks a question that is nearly impossible to answer - placing all 30 players at East Lake in the correct order three weeks ahead of time. Don't worry, the prize is one million dollars, but it's far more likely that the grand prize winner will merely get another $1,000 gift card to their local PGA Tour Superstore. In news, the U.S. Women's Am has been tremendous cocktail golf in the evenings, the DPWT has an SGS leaderboard early, and Hudson Swafford spoke out about his suspension from the PGA Tour. We round out the week with some Golf Advice about a child's day at the Senior Open and asking for more strokes on a golf trip.

It's time for the playoffs! Andy and Brendan are thrilled to discuss the most important three weeks in golf, kicking off this week at TPC Initech in Memphis for the FedEx St. Jude Championship. 69 of the top 70 players on the PGA Tour will tee it up in the first round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, with only Rory McIlroy skipping out. This has caused plenty of commotion and Peppy Peter says a new "Rory Rule" may be implemented to force all who qualify to play the three playoff events moving forward. Speaking of the playoffs, Brendan discovered that the Wikipedia article for this first round has become an a minefield of past sponsors and jumbled histories, not unlike the PGA Tour's winner list that deems Cameron Young as "Mr. 1,000." Mr. 1,000 is in Memphis, searching for another strong finish that would place him ahead of Keegan Bradley in the Ryder Cup standings. The calls for Captain Keegan to not pick himself as a player are growing louder by the day, so he'll need to play well in the postseason to silence the doubters. Elsewhere on the schedule this week, the Champions Tour is back stateside in Seattle, the DP World Tour's notable list is... something, and the U.S. Women's Am heads to Bandon. In news, the Creator Classic is returning to East Lake and an SGS favorite announces his last start on Tour.

Andy and Brendan! are joined by The Boys for the Victory Monday to end all Victory Mondays. PJ and Joseph LaMagna are ecstatic after Cameron Young secured his first PGA Tour win at the Wyndham, becoming the 1,000th unique winner in Tour history. Brendan has some questions about how we arrived at the 1,000 number, perhaps throwing an asterisk on the forever-nickname of "Mr. 1,000." There's plenty of debate about Cameron's Ryder Cup standing heading into the event in his home state and a potential playoff push for Playoff P coming up. PJ walks everyone through his mentality throughout the weekend as it became clear that the NYGC stalwart was going to win for the first time. LaMagna also sheds some light on real improvements in Young's game that could lead to a #floodgates situation following this win. Andy and Brendan then discuss some Coffee Golf, chatting through Miyu Yamashita's win at the AIG Women's Open. Jackson Koivun gets some love for his performance at the Wyndham despite skipping the Western Am, which was won by Jase Summy at Skokie Country Club. As you could probably imagine, the majority of this episode focuses on Cameron Young and the manifestation of his first-ever win and ensuing lasting legacy as Mr. 1,000 on the PGA Tour.

First of the Month recordings finally return with Andy and Brendan! in high spirits for this Friday episode. With the calendar turning to August, a lengthy debate about month rankings breaks out before the two turn to Jordan Spieth's latest comments ahead of the Wyndham Championship. Spieth is looking forward to a big 2026 season despite being a 2025 Ryder Cup hopeful and Andy questions what reasonable expectations are for this "guy" moving forward. At the Women's Open, Charley Hull had some enlightening comments on the golf ball and why she doesn't watch golf on television. With the Western Am going on, Brendan shares some notables for those watching the weekend broadcast. PJ quizzes Andy and Brendan on Happy Gilmore 2 cameos, leading to some confusion from those who have already watched the film. In Golf Advice, questions about tournament play and asking for access to private clubs set Andy and Brendan off. There are also some intermittent updates on the Wyndham Championship throughout this episode.

Andy is back ashore and opens this episode with a staunch defense of beaches following Monday's episode. Brendan and PJ fight back, leading to a discussion about how to manage jellyfish stings and a name drop of Moises Alou. There is some golf talk, as the PGA Tour's regular season wraps up with the Wyndham Championship this week. Andy and Brendan wonder if there will be any conscientious objectors next week in Memphis with many top European players still abroad. Some players need big weeks at the Wyndham in order to even get to Memphis, and Andy is happy only 70 guys will see the postseason. One-and-done picks are haphazardly made, but this premier gambling podcast may still find a way to close out the year with a winner. The Women's Open Championship is this week as well and Brendan is fired up about his prediction of Lottie Woad as the gambling favorite coming true. He suggest a remix of Black Rob's "Whoa" be produced to welcome Lottie to the first tee at Royal Porthcawl for her first major as a professional. Plenty of Lottie chatter follows, as well as some cleanup on the KFT exemption scandal covered on Monday. Andy awards the Event of the Week to the Western Am, there's some news with new LIV purses in 2026, and Brian Rolapp's tenure at the PGA Tour has officially begun. A long-awaited review of Happy Gilmore 2 rounds things out, with Andy and PJ going back and forth about the film and possible continuity errors throughout.

Andy is off at sea, so Brendan! calls in "The Boys" for this Monday episode. Joseph LaMagna joins PJ and BP to discuss Kurt Kitayama's second career PGA Tour win and his continued dominance at Arnold Palmer designs. There's some chatter about Kitayama's excellent weekend at the 3M Open, tough Sundays from Jake Knapp and Akshay Bhatia, and some wild lines from the broadcast throughout the week. Brendan shares some takes from the beach as well before a quick look at the FedEx Cup standings heading into the last week of the regular season. Elsewhere in pro golf, a Korn Ferry Tour sponsor exemption has Brendan riled up, Lottie Woad was victorious at the Women's Scottish Open in her pro debut, and the Champs Tour Player of the Year race has heated up following the last major of the season. Rory McIlroy even stopped by the Senior Open Championship to take in the sights and sounds of the senior circuit. Joaquin Niemann won for a fifth time in 2025 at LIV London, an outcome which Joseph calls the "worse-case scenario" for the league. In news, Happy Gilmore 2 has taken over the golf world and a full review of the film will come later this week.

After transatlantic and transcontinental travel earlier, Andy and Brendan are ready for a true whiparound Friday episode to round out a chaotic week. Brendan! is back stateside and shares that he did not watch a movie on his flight back from Ireland, disappointing Andy as they chat about the big premiere of Happy Gilmore 2. Scottie Scheffler made it to New York with his "Open Championship trophy" in hand, just 24 hours after winning his fourth major, and was joined by Collin Morikawa, John Daly, and golf influencer Bryson DeChambeau, among other celebrities. Speaking of Bryson, he's had a big few days of quotes regarding the Ryder Cup and a potential matchup with Rory at Bethpage. Andy and Brendan then run through the Schedule for the Week, including the Sticky Note Open at TPC Sod Farm, Zinger calling the Senior Open with some friends from across the pond, and the U.S. Junior, where one participant was disqualified for a peculiar reason. There's a little bit of news regarding LIV as their flagship London event kicks off on Friday before this episode wraps with some Best Day Brewing Golf Advice.
