We hit the Chicago Golf Expo and had thoughts. Some good, some bad, and one of us walked away with a free round of golf at Sol Tan Run and Buffalo Trace in Indiana. First raffle win of his life.

We break down Akshay Bhatia's comeback win at the Arnold Palmer down five shots on Sunday, Jon Rahm's LIV win, and what world rankings actually mean now, and why calling The Players a fifth major is a bad idea. We close with three hot takes: play Augusta once with your boys or hold a lifetime Masters badge, six hour round vs. two hour twilight solo, and whether the PGA should be handing sponsor exemptions to influencers over grinders who earned it.
