"Players to Watch" at the RSM Classic, LIV hot stove, & more with The Boys

·1 hr 5 min·5 clips

The PGA Tour's official 'players to watch' list for the RSM Classic omits fan favorites like Luke Clanton and Michael Brennan.

The episode begins with Andy Johnson and guest host PJ Clark discussing Brendan Porath's absence and his disdain for the RSM Classic. They preview the tournament by quizzing each other on the PGA Tour's official 'players to watch' list, which includes Harris English, Zach Johnson, Adam Schenk, Jhonattan Vegas, and Davis Love III, but omits fan favorites like Luke Clanton and Michael Brennan. The hosts analyze why college star David Ford lacks media hype despite winning seven times at UNC. They shift to the LPGA's CME Group Tour Championship, debating the practicality of the Lamborghini prize won by Brooke Matthews and its insurance costs. The discussion moves to LIV Golf, covering Victor Perez's signing with the Cleeks and whether he qualifies as 'world-class'. They also note Henrik Stenson's return to the DP World Tour after paying fines. The hosts engage in a humorous fantasy draft of fake LIV Golf trades, including sending Phil Mickelson to Legion 13 for Caleb Surratt and Patrick Reed to the Four Aces. They touch on the Saudi International field, highlighting Prince Khalid Saad Al-Faisal's participation. The episode concludes with news on the Augusta Hooters demolition, Black Friday deals for merchandise, and a forced apology read by PJ Clark for not promoting a Bel Air event adequately. Throughout, the tone is casual and irreverent, with banter about NFL quarterbacks and WWE.

A loose RSM preview lets apparel, Black Friday, and wrestling fold into the show's usual golf-room banter.

The Shotgun Start's Wednesday episode treats the RSM as the frame for a loose, temporary three-man show. With Brendan away, PJ slides into the host chair while Andy and Joseph use the vacancy as room to poke, wander, and keep the pace conversational.
