- Andy Johnson and Joseph LaMagna return after the holiday weekend to check on where things stand in professional golf as we enter the second half of 2024. To start, they decide they're IN on both Scottish golf and vacations and OUT on the location of the majors on the golf calendar. As the two move on to recapping the first six months of the year, they break down the careers of stars in decline, the gains being made in ball speed metrics and the development of young players such as Akshay Bhatia. As always, the episode ends with a couple of recommendations as you start your week.

Big Tone's swing will allow him to play well on TOUR well into his 40's. Dudes like Adam and Ernie had longevity because of this too.
When are you going to have a podcast about Keegan Bradley being picked as Ryder Cup Captain? The PGA and especially Zach Johnson are trying to stop the blow back from not putting Keegan on the team that he earned to be on.
Scottie has more distance off the tee then his averages. When a whole matches his fade T-shot, he hammers the ball. I’ll watch the broadcast and he’ll have the longest drive on that hole many times. He just plays within himself so often. He never TRIES to do something he just does what he is suppose to do and a lot of times that is not hit as hard as he can cuz unlike Rory he has an elite wedge game. He legit just won a tournament against Tom Kim because off the tee he took a three wood and laid it up to the correct position had 150 yards which was an easier shot than 100 yards Tom Kim had and we all know he has more distance and Tom Kim.
One of the possible advantages of team golf [such as LIV] is that the slightly more mature stars will find a place to show their talent later in their career. And being a valued member of a team could re-light the fire somewhat.
I’d love to see if this is possible hopefully it happens one day on LIV
The U.S. golf market doesn't care about team golf. They care about the Ryder Cup and that's it. The President's Cup doesn't move the needle. Matt Kuchar doesn't move the needle. Stewart Cink?
Team golf is popular outside the U.S. That's where it belongs.
The PGA moved their tournament because they found August was a dead spot for them. Put the PGA in July and the Open in August?
Agree on the FedEx Cup it's just a big scoop of nothing. It would be better as one tournament - top 30, 50, 70, whatever. Winner that week gets the big pot.
You just spent ages talking about how careers at the top of golf are getting shorter, and then ignored that fact that many of the top LIV golfers are likely on the way down e.g. Rahm who has been at the top for about six years. Scottie Scheffler has been at the top for about four years, and has only won two majors. If he doesn't win one of the next two majors, he could max out at about 2-3.
