The boys break down two completely different sides of the PGA Tour this week: the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill and the Puerto Rico Open. One tournament features the biggest stars in golf competing for a $20 million purse, while the other showcases the grinders fighting to change their careers with a $4 million purse.
We dive into Daniel Berger’s incredible opening round at Bay Hill, the difficulty of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and why this signature event is one of the toughest tests on the PGA Tour outside of the majors. Even with Berger going low, Scottie Scheffler still sits as the betting favorite, proving just how dominant he’s been in the world of golf.
The conversation also shifts to the Puerto Rico Open, where players are grinding for their PGA Tour futures. These events might not have the biggest names, but they often produce life-changing moments for golfers trying to secure their card, climb the FedEx Cup standings, and earn spots in bigger tournaments like The Players Championship.
Plus, we share our experience being at the tournament in Puerto Rico and interviewing John Daly II during his first PGA Tour start, along with insight into what life is like for players battling their way up through the golf ranks.
From Bay Hill’s elite field to the hungry players grinding in Puerto Rico, this episode covers the full spectrum of the PGA Tour.
If you love golf, PGA Tour storylines, and the culture of the game, this one is for you.
