Phil returns, LIVs got team names, logos, and a crooked draft

b'An episode trying to cover and make sense of the absolute firehose of absurdity that hit all of us on Tuesday. It begins with frustration that the firehose buried what should have been gnarly metaverse Jack Nicklaus\\u2019s moment. Nevertheless, Andy and Brendan proceed on, reacting, with great amusement, to the names, logos, and eventual draft of teams for LIV Golf\\u2019s first event. They discuss how the PGA Tour had this coming, and how the resigning membership maneuver may mitigate the Tour\\u2019s biggest weapon. The talking points got plenty of use, and Graeme McDowell\\u2019s missteps are dissected, as well as the notion that shotgun starts are \\u201cfairer\\u201d -- which leads to a humorous scoop about the range set up. Phil Mickelson\\u2019s return to golf, which feels like old news, is addressed, as is his attire and look. Tiger\\u2019s WD from the U.S. Open, as well as some sectional qualifier stories, are also discussed.'
