789 - AT&T Pebble Beach & LIV Mayakoba Recap Live Show Feb 06, 2024

Show notes

After the cancellation of the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am we look back at a pair of 54 hole tournaments with the PGA Tour's weather shortened weekend as well as the LIV season opener at Mayakoba.

We begin at Pebble where Wyndham Clark wins after a third, and final, round 60 - setting a new course record and beating Ludvig by a shot. We break down the finish and the decision making that led to the shortened format given the relative lack of options, and provide some context for how Clark's third round compares to other low rounds from recent years in pro golf.

We also look at the others on the leaderboard (19:00) including Ludvig, JT, Jason Day as well as the course setup, Clark's decision to turn LIV down and stay on the PGA Tour, Spieth and Rory's respective comments on the potential PIF investment into the Tour (40:00), off course rumblings, a review of Neil's top and bottom 10 from his pre-tournament power rankings, and some reflections from our time on-site at the tournament.

Then we turn our attention to Mayakoba for the LIV season opener (1:09:30) as Joaquin Niemann wins the individual title in a playoff over Sergio with Jon Rahm's team wins the team crown. As the only live golf broadcasted on Sunday, we take stock of the progress and remaining shortcomings of the league's team rosters, the broadcast product and upcoming tech advancements and more.

786 - Farmers Recap Jan 28, 2024

Show notes

KVV remains in the captain's chair for tonight's pod along with Shane Bacon and Kyle Porter as Matthieu Pavon wins at Torrey Pines with a birdie on the 72nd hole to beat Nicolai Hojgaard by a shot. We break down the finish, the international leaderboard, the lack of French golfing success, the concept of non-Sunday finishes on tour plus Tom Whitney's week and which PGA pro we would trust (and not trust) with handling nuclear weapons.

We also have some fun with wondering why certain players didn't go to LIV (47:40), the abysmal pace of play this past week, the angst over sponsors exemptions at Pebble next week, the latest edition of The Match, and - with some help from Jordan Perez - we break down Nick Dunlap's decision to turn pro after his win last week (1:04:00).

On the back half of the pod we talk through the rumored PIF-PGA Tour deal, our hopes for what a reunified pro golf world could look like, the Anthony Kim rumors, a few musings on buddies trips, and more.

We start with the first amateur to win on the PGA Tour in over 30 years as Nick Dunlap wins the AmEx with a clutch five foot putt on the 72nd hole. We make sense of Dunlap's rise through the amateur golf scene and his performance today as he stared down seasoned pros with multiple wins on tour.

Then it's off to Dubai where Rory wins after a close call last week (39:40) with a one shot victory over Adrian Meronk and two clear of Cam Young - plus Joaquin Niemann's participation as a LIV player in the Euro Tour event (54:50).

We also cover Lydia Ko's win at the LPGA Tournament of Champions (1:04:00), Jay Monahan's trip to Saudi Arabia (1:16:45), and some other news and notes and with thoughts on the events at Sports Illustrated before we close with KVV reading his latest column "Lost in the Sauce of Golf Training Aids" (1:55:25) which can be found on our website: https://nolayingup.com/blog/lost-in-the-sauce-of-golf-training-aids
