Happy Halloween Jr.! This Wednesday morning recording starts with Andy and Brendan standing by their football takes from Monday's episode, as not much is going on in golf these days. Brendan shares a Tosti Tale from the Sanderson to get the golf talk started, which then transitions into a very quick Schedule of the Week segment. The two then recap the proposed PGA Tour changes for the 2026 season, including an insane pace-of-play policy that gives players more time to hit shots. These changes will limit fields on the PGA Tour and guarantee fewer Tour cards per season. Andy and Brendan lament that these changes are basically negligible, but the weekly stakes will be higher with a higher turnover rate at the bottom of the season-long standings. To wrap this episode up, it's the seventh annual golf-related Halloween costume idea segment, with multiple Matt Kuchar entries from listeners, a couple different Tom Kim outfits, and the latest in Jay Don Blake attire.

This episode is a Victory Monday like no other, as Andy's Bears lost on a true Hail Mary as time expired against Brendan's (adopted) Commanders. Brendan is so excited that he got the yips on opening the episode, leading Andy to introduce the show. Andy, still in disbelief at the loss, recaps his weekend, calling the Bears the worst coached team in football and explaining where he was for the end of the game. The two laugh at the fan-shot video of Bears corner Tyrique Stevenson taunting fans before tipping the ball into Noah Brown's hands for the win, but Andy takes solace in the fact that the Bears won the second half. PJ is asked to recap the Jets-Patriots game, as the Jets dropped their fifth straight game. The Jets managed to find a new rock bottom, losing to former Browns QB Jacoby Brissett, New England's backup. Speaking of Browns quarterbacks, Jameis Winston led the Browns to a big divisional win over the Ravens, leading all NFL passers on Sunday in yards, something that Cleveland hasn't seen much of this year. There is golf discussed on this episode, as Nico Echavarria won the Zozo overnight, holding off Justin Thomas in the final group. Andy and Brendan discuss a promising finish for JT, a potential breakout for Echavarria, and the future of a Japan stop for the PGA Tour with the Zozo contract expiring. Next, they talk through Ben An beating Tom Kim in a playoff in the Genesis Championship in South Korea, giving props to An for his success on the PGA Tour without a win yet. Brendan is in on the LPGA's Race to CME, a season-long standing that's tightening up after Ruoning Yin's win in Kuala Lumpur. To close this episode, it's a lengthy Champions Tour Minute as the field is set for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship in Phoenix. PJ sets the stage for his trip out west, where a club pro from Long Island has secured full status on the PGA Tour Champions for next year after a strong performance in Arkansas.

Following the conclusion of the 2024 Zozo Championship, the PGA Tour's only stop in Japan, we're re-heating this Jumbo Ozaki Spotlight from May 2020. Brendan relays some notes from a day of reading and researching the Japanese legend. Masashi “Jumbo” Ozaki's dominant career on the Japan Tour is covered in depth, as well as his ambivalence to playing outside of that Tour. His flamboyant style, allegations of cheating, playing with illegal “hot” equipment, and rumors of ties to organized crime are also discussed in detail.

This Friday episode picks up where Thursday's left off, as Andy and Brendan debate whether the PGA Tour can actually suspend Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy for playing in "The Showdown" against Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau. Brendan calls for Halloween costume submissions to SGSGolfAdvice@gmail.com ahead of next week's annual episode, and Andy is in a giving mood for prizes after recovering from some poison oak. The two discuss an article from The Athletic about the presidential election possibly impacting the future of men's professional golf, as the Department of Justice would need to look into any PGA Tour-PIF agreement. There are pleas for Jay Monahan to no longer appear on CNBC and find a new channel to do interviews with after his initial quotes on June 6 are what spurred attention from the DOJ. Andy and Brendan then recap day one of the Zozo in Japan, where Taylor Moore is leading while wearing his B.Draddy. They recap a report from Ryan French at Monday Q about the PGA Tour calling players for tax payments on a $500,000 advance last December after they lost their cards for the 2024 season. Brendan breaks the news that PJ's Charles Schwab Championship credential has been approved before taking the TGL's "Find Your Team" personality quiz with Andy. Golf Advice about a hole-in-one, Patrick Mahomes, and golf on a job interview wrap this episode up and send you to the weekend.
