Ryder Cup ticket price outrage, Northwestern’s notable alumni, and DPWT card races

from The Shotgun Start · host Fried Egg Golf

What was thought to be a normal Wednesday episode starts with breaking news, as Davante Adams was traded to the New York Jets early Tuesday morning. The show begins with Producer PJ's live reaction to the deal, coming on the heels of yet another pathetic Jets loss on Monday night. Brendan then debuts a golf player comparison for Yankees ace Gerrit Cole as he prepares for Game 2 of the ALCS. The golf talk kicks off from there, as Andy and Brendan are fired up about ticket prices for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. They express frustration about how the exorbitant prices are keeping average fans away and how the PGA of America, who claims to be committed to "growing the game," could do something like this. The two also detail how the fan experience at the Ryder Cup is not great to begin with, even further confirming that the ticket prices are out of hand. Andy compares the $1,500 it would cost for two to attend a competition day to a night at the Ritz Carlton outside of Central Park. Brendan then notes some "notable alumni" from each school competing at the St Andrews Collegiate this week, leading to a discussion about whether someone has to graduate in order to be called an alum. Andy and Brendan touch on the rest of the golf schedule for this week, previewing the Shriners Children's Open, BMW Ladies Championship, and Andalucia Masters, where Jon Rahm is leading DPWT coverage in his Legion XIII gear. To wrap things up, Andy, Brendan, and PJ make their long-awaited picks for the Dominion Energy Charity Classic as the Schwab Cup Playoffs begin on the Champs Tour.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
