2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Preview

Episode Summary

A look ahead to this weekend's PGA Championship at Valhalla, blowouts on the golf tours over the weekend, and the Caitlin Clark effect as the WNBA season tips off.

Episode Notes

• The Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hallow was a showdown between Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffle, with the Irishman taking control in commanding fashion (1:55).
• The LPGA Cognizant Founders Cup had a 13 stroke difference between 3rd and 2nd place, as Rose Zhang rallied with 4 birdies in her last 5 holes to take her second win in just under a year of being on tour (6:12).
• The PGA Championship at Valhalla kicks off this week, where Scottie Scheffler won't have to worry about the baby coming anymore. The guys look at the odds for the season's second major, Alex shares his plans for the week as he heads to the media center in Louisville, KY, and we hear from PGA Pros Tracy Phillips, Preston Cole, and Tyler Collet from the PGA Professional Championship just a few weeks ago (9:07).
• Outside of golf, Michael shares his nerdom as he and his wife play through all of their board games over the next two years, and Alex shares the great show he saw with the band AJR (17:10).
• The NHL and NBA playoffs roll on, and Alex thinks he'd like to see the Celtics and Knicks face off in the next round to help the NYC/Boston rivalry get some juice again (25:54).
• The WNBA season kicks off Tuesday night, and the Caitlin Clark effect is in full swing. Now with chartered flights, and Indian Fever tickets going for almost triple every other game on Tuesday night, plus more media coverage across the board, now is the time to be all in on the WNBA's future (27:28).
• As the guys #AlwaysEndWithFood, Alex is getting ready to indulge in some Kentucky local favorites, like a hot brown sandwich, as he heads to Valhalla (30:15).
