PGA Tour Madness!? Brian Rolapp reveals new Tour Championship Match Play format | The Shotgun Start

Andy and Brendan jam together early on the heels of Brian Rolapp’s press conference at the Tour Championship in Atlanta to discuss the latest wave of news in the continued makeover of the PGA Tour. They cover the new year-end format -- a season finale stroke play event followed by TWO WEEKS of match play in what will be known as the Tour Championship. Did the Tour nail it? Can this really pop as a mixture of the World Cup and March Madness? They cover the risks and potential rewards for the fans as well as the Tour. Also discussed are the rounds of questions about LIV returnees, sponsor interest, and TV network deals. Then they get to the schedule for the week, where they take great amusement in having to suffer through TWO more Tour Championships of the old, dumpy model, now that news of the future model has been announced. News covers some cryptic instagramming from Bryson DeChambeau and if he’s actually gone from LIV following the expiration of his contract this past week.
