Soly, TC and Randy react to the news of BC Partners pulling out of LIV 2.0 and the subsequent announcement from LIV that they are shutting down as Bryson weighs in on his next steps. Then it’s on to the PGA Tour at Los Cabos where Blades Brown wins in a playoff over Ben James as he takes his place among the up and comers on tour. We also get into some off-course discussion including Colonial potentially losing its spot on the calendar and Jay Monahan’s appearance on Eamon Lynch’s new show. From there we head to Abu Dhabi, where Rahm wins ahead of Tyrrell and Rory - who got hit with a two-shot penalty for improving his lie during the opening round. We also touch on Lee Westwood’s interview with Eddie Pepperell on the Chipping Forecast pod and an LPGA check-in on the fall events in Asia, plus a quick recap of Soly’s win at the NIT. We close with Randy interviewing Yealimi Noh on her trip to Asia for the LPGA’s fall events, her experience at the Solheim Cup and a look at what it’s like to travel internationally on the LPGA Tour.
