Busy, busy week in golf. Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau committed to playing on the PGA Tour after rumors of them leaving for the Saudi Arabia-backed league started to fly.

Scottie Scheffler finally got the job done, taking down Patrick Cantlay in a playoff to earn his first PGA Tour win. For the first time since 2015, the 16th at TPC Scottsdale saw an ace, then the very next day, saw another. The WM Phoenix Open delivered yet again, and so did Harry Higgs and Joel Dahmen when they went bare-chest on the 16th green. Charley Hoffman posted a very questionable IG pic and caption, and the boys dive into how stupid he looks. Then it's time for the Genesis Invitational ...

Well, it's tough to be excited about a golf tournament after what happened in the NFL this weekend. With that being said, Hudson Swafford got it done down the stretch in the desert.

After a recap of the AMEX, the TOC on the LPGA, and a quick chat about the DP World Tour, the boys get into their Farmers Insurance Open preview. Field, course preview, key stats, betting odds, and of co...

Welp, that's about as bad as a beat as you can get. Russell Henley, up 5 shots on Matsuyama going to the back, gets caught by the Masters champ - and Riley lost 3 grand because of it.
