The Carson Daly Invitational, TV deal rollout disaster, Andys TV reporter debut

Published: March 11, 2020, 6 a.m.

Finally, major championship season has arrived. This Wednesday episode will be a rollercoaster of a preview without much nuts-and-bolts preview-y discussion. We start with Andy\u2019s big debut as a walking reporter for a broadcast and some of the technical difficulties of his maiden voyage. Also, did a mistake he made on the first tee impact a play?! Then we get to Jay Monahan\u2019s rough media tour to announce his new rights deal on Monday morning and the tough spot he never should have been in on live TV. The Tour\u2019s initial response to coronavirus is also reviewed. A new sponsor read somehow leads to a panning of the latest Scott McCarron anchoring footage. We make one-and-done picks and also lament the reported soft conditions this week that will be a changeup from the prior two legs of the Florida swing. What\u2019s the best grass for demonstrating short game skill and, setting aside the marketing, do we actually love the golf product of The Players? Why will Carson be there again on Wednesday? Lots of questions before Rory and Brandel\u2019s comments on the PGL are discussed and a closing with a Masters fact of the day on Augusta National\u2019s original 19th hole.
