Description
Andy and Brendan record this Players Championship “preview” from the shore of Portrush in Northern Ireland and they have many questions about Jay Monahan’s state of the tour (and pro golf?) press conference at TPC Sawgrass. They wonder why everyone was so worked up about it and if he was as poor and bumbling as portrayed. They also discuss the lack of pop around this Players, and how only some of it relates to the loss of talent in the field and how this event cannot even begin to argue it approximates a major now. They also discuss the overseeded and soft conditions they’ve been informed of from the ground, and whether it’s fruitless to hope for anything else. The back half runs through some favorite tee times and not-so-favorite tee times, leading down the path of examining one player’s recent resume that sort of brings to light Rory McIlroy’s comments about a more “cutthroat” tour last week. Some one-and-done picks are made before they push off with an event of the week nominee they encountered in Northern Ireland.
