EP 14 of Two Off the Tee. James takes the hosting chair as the brothers break down the WM Phoenix Open chaos. First up: streamer Jack Doherty gets a lifetime PGA Tour ban after paying a fan $100 to scream during Mackenzie Hughes' backswing. Is the ban too harsh or exactly right? Then the real story — Hideki Matsuyama's heartbreaking playoff loss after a chair drop disrupted his swing on 18, handing Chris Gotterup the win.

From there, the episode shifts to Path to Par Golf Club, the brothers' competitive amateur golf league entering its 10th season in Chicago. The league is getting a new name, a new cutline, and a new fight: James wants match play brackets for the playoffs. Jeff wants to keep traditional stroke play. Neither one backs down.

At the turn: do you putt with a line or without? James shares why he ditched the line years ago, Jeff confesses his no-look putting experiment, and both admit that PGA 2K video games actually improved their real-world putting.

The back nine covers golf pet peeves — from people stealing your ball on the course to flagstick etiquette to the friend who's always late to tee times.
