Episode 157 is packed with golf news, big performances, and some seriously important debates (yes… cookies & cream is back).

We start with Joaco Niemann’s win in Korea, breaking down his performance and what it means for his form heading into the next stretch of LIV events. We also chat about Travis Smyth stepping in for Crushers GC at the last moment and the conversation with Bryson that led to it.

Looking ahead, we preview LIV Andalucia this week, including storylines, players to watch, and how the event might play out, plus what it would cost you to play there.

We dive into Jon Rahm’s recent press conference comments about staying out of business pitches, unpacking what he meant and how it reflects the current state of professional golf.

Plus:

• Our latest fantasy picks and strategy
• Another round of Hit It or Quit It
• And the return of the cookies & cream debate… which somehow still isn’t settled

Golf, banter, and a few questionable takes — all in one.
