Episode Notes

After two days taking in the sights, sounds, and scuttlebutt of Augusta National, Andy and Brendan have returned to preview the 2026 Masters. They begin with an overview of the course setup and delightful weather forecast for this week before diving into the top contenders. Things kick off with Rory McIlroy, who enters the week as the defending champion for the first time ever. Rory is described as "freed" and "relaxed" this week, leading to one member of the crew picking him to win back-to-back green jackets. Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and Bryson DeChambeau are also discussed at length before Andy, Brendan, and PJ bat around who the fifth biggest story of the week is. Submissions for this spot include Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg, and Cameron Young (not from PJ!), but it may end up being Jordan Spieth anyway. A Tee Times draft breaks out which leads into a time-honored tradition, Storylines Nobody Is Talking About. After the notebooks get emptied, Kevin Van Valkenburg stops by with a "KVV 3" from Tuesday's happenings on the ground. Golf's Premier Gambling Podcast makes their picks to win before sending this episode off and getting the 90th Masters Tournament underway.
