Si Woo respect, Spieth disrespect, and non-designated dumps

This holiday Monday episode begins with a damning follow-up on the “provisional pedant” from Friday’s golf advice segment. Then it’s on to the Sony Open, where Andy demands more respect for the talent and work of his boy Si Woo KIm, who he’s been pushing for more than five years now. They also discuss the first non-designated event of the year, and whether the gulf between the designated and non-designated events will widen when it comes to TV product presentation. On the Sony, Brendan starts to acquiesce to Andy’s Spieth thoughts after a rollercoaster and disastrous T1-MC two-day stretch. They also hit on the Hero Cup and what, if anything, it means for the Ryder Cup. News has some fun with the PAC list of names being announced and Zinger’s quote that his stretch on the PAC was a “colossal waste of time.”
