LIV descends into chaos: Rahm rumors, Lawsuits, Unpaid players, and a makeshift finale in Indy

from The Shotgun Start · host Fried Egg Golf

Summer may be coming to a (merciful) end for Andy and Brendan soon, but not before LIV Golf will finish its 2026 season and maybe entire existence! The two dive into all of the news surrounding this week's makeshift season-ending event in Indianapolis, covering the latest rumors about Jon Rahm's next move, reports of new lawsuits from vendors, and the fact that players have not yet been paid for their finishes at LIV New York. The Boys are already in the great town of Indianapolis and are being encouraged to go "full Woodward and Bernstein" at what may be LIV Golf's final event. PJ is not exactly up for this massive challenge and was looking forward to a week of bits, but things have gotten more serious than anticipated. Andy and Brendan wonder about what players like Jason Kokrak, Talor Gooch, and even Dustin Johnson do next if this is, in fact, the end of the road for LIV as we know it. On the PGA Tour, the once-Western Open heads to Bellerive for another week of sweaty playoff golf. Andy wants this event to break ties with its Western Open heritage and has absolutely no interest in discussing the golf course or the test at hand for the FedEx Cup top 50. Brendan runs through the rest of a loaded Schedule for the Week, including TWO Canadian events, another sponsor invite for Blockie, and the U.S. Senior Women's Open. To wrap things up, the two discuss the Walker Cup picks for Team GB&I before sending The Boys into the unknown at LIV Indy.   Experience the power, precision and versatility of Mercedes-Benz SUVs.
