Looking ahead, Jake and Luke discuss the calls from major stakeholders for the PGA Tour to urgently strike a deal with the PIF for the good of the game. They debate US-Centric vs. Global views on the golf landscape and contemplate a scenario where the PGAT Tour and LIV remain separate but have some cross over events and possibly a Ryder Cup-style event pitting each tour's best against each other. The pair also touch on Scottie Scheffler's shocking mid-tournament arrest and subsequent media coverage, as well as Rory's divorce and events ahead this week.
