Yasir-Jay Tracker, Rory’s deal optimism, and Pat Reed quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's a beefy Friday episode, as Brendan is joined by Mr. Tron Carter of No Laying Up to discuss topics from across the world of sports. The show begins with Brendan picking Ball Knower Tron's brain about his various football teams, with the two going back and forth about the state of the Falcons, Jaguars, Commanders, and Boston College, before transitioning into a discussion about the potential for private equity to invest in college football like it has with golf. This then leads the two to the big golf news of the week, Jay Monahan and Yasir Al-Rumayyan's pairing at the Dunhill Links. Brendan and Tron recap Thursday's round for the two, Rory McIlroy's comments about a PGA Tour-PIF deal being wrapped up by year's end, and Matt Fitzpatrick's quotes about his belief that the DP World Tour should not have strategically partnered with the PGA Tour. With plenty of LIV players in the field at the Dunhill, Brendan then presents Patrick Reed's latest musings, a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson that Reed believes describes himself. From there, it's a whiparound through the rest of the schedule, touching on 71-year-old Reed Hughes' participation in the Sanderson, the Thursday round of the KFT Finals, and Tron's apathy toward the Champs Tour, much to the dismay of Producer PJ. To wrap things up, Brendan and Tron get into some unsubstantiated rumors before answering a few Golf Advice emails, offering help on "golf penance," a round with Ian Poulter, and some parenting issues.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
