Monahan speaks at Tour’s ‘Silly’ Playoffs, 2025 Schedule release, & Golf Advice | The Shotgun Start
It's a beefy Friday episode in honor of the FedEx Cup Playoffs starting up. Andy and Brendan lead off the episode with some U.S. Am discussion as Andy's Illini have shown up to compete. This then turns in to a conversation about what an amateur even is these days, given that many top players have large NIL deals backing them. Next, it's an extended FedEx Cup Minute as they take a look at the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Pool and (lack of) prizes before discussing the mostly-unchanged 2025 PGA Tour schedule. The two then read some presser comments from this week in Memphis, with quotes from Jay Monahan, Scottie Scheffler, "Playoff P" Patrick Cantlay, and more, leading to ideas on how to make the FedEx Cup a true playoff system and improve upon what is today. After a listener-requested FedEx Cup Fact of the Day about a certain Guy in the field, Andy and Brendan take some Golf Forever Life Advice questions, including an all-time story about 24 years of guilt.
