Rory aiming for Players repeat, PGA Tour announces new media deal (3/9)

The First Cut boys are back and they’re ready to bring you all the storylines you want to know as the Florida Swing heads to TPC Sawgrass for the ‘5th Major’. Speaking of the course, is TPC Sawgrass actually underrated (1:00)? This week all eyes will be on Rory McIlroy as he searches for his second victory of the season. His recent form is great but the Players has never produced a back-to-back champion. Could 2020 be the year where that changes (10:30)? The new, 'Young(er) Guns' should be out in full force this week, what are our expectations for Matthew Wolff, Viktor Hovland, Collin Morikawa and Sungjae Im at the Players (20:45). The PGA Tour has a new media rights deal in place for the next decade. Kyle and Mark go into what this means for the game and how it impacts both current and future fans (30:20). Finally the guys wrap with One and Done leans for the Players Championship, is this the week Mark finally grabs a podium finish (39:00)?
