In this episode, Matt Cook and Shaun Clark discuss the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, Matt's Covid-19 experience, and the futures of Chris Kirk, Jordan Spieth, and Matthew Wolf. They also share thoughts on the Sony Open, betting predictions, Jason Day's fashion, and Tiger Woods' departure from Nike. They touch on Eric Cole's win, Rory McElroy's stance on Live Golf, John Rahm's preparation, and rising stars in the DP world tour.

  • Rory McIlroy's recent comments show a shift in his stance on LIV Golf, indicating he might be more open to the idea now, which could have significant implications for the future of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.
  • The PGA Tour Rookie of the Year announcement was surprisingly low-key, with Eric Cole winning the title, sparking debate over whether Ludwig Aberg, who had a notable year including a win, should have won instead.
