Should Riviera move to Summer, Tiger talks, and an Anonymous Pro Golf Survey

About this episode

"The Boys" are back in town for this Wednesday episode, joining Brendan to preview the PGA Tour's return to Riviera. Joseph starts out with a take regarding this week's event "honoring" the local community in the Palisades, setting the tone for this episode early. Brendan, Joseph, and PJ unpack Tiger Woods's pre-tournament press conference, in which he discussed his chances of returning to competitive golf in 2026, a potential Ryder Cup captaincy, and the PGA Tour schedule changes. It seems like Tiger may tee it up on the Champions Tour after all, with PJ already wanting to make travel arrangements for a few select stops later this year. Woods also gave some insight into the hard work he's been putting in on the 2027 PGA Tour schedule, alluding to the California swing being later in the summer, maybe as part of the playoffs. Joseph loves the idea of Tiger's mark on the game being a playoff schedule that he created, and Brendan thinks that the Genesis Invitational should be a "jumbo event" moving forward. PJ runs through his five favorite tee times for the first two rounds and also sets the scene for this week's Aon Swing 5 vs. Sponsor Exemption tracker, now a five-on-five fight for this week only! Joseph passes along Andy's 5 Guys to Monitor before highlighting a favorite tee time of his own. He also initially declines to make a One-and-Done pick before Brendan bullies him into it on air. Brendan has some sourced reporting from the Magical Kenya Open, sharing details about the caddie fees and "driving range" at this week's DP World Tour event. In news, Justin Thomas will return to pro golf next week in the SoFi Dome... no word yet on if he's playing outdoor golf as well. To round out the show, Joseph and Brendan preview the first-ever Fried Egg Golf Anonymous Survey, tiering the best players in the men's game.
