A second show for Masters week. Geoff Shackelford and Lawrence Donegan look back on a fabulous week for the Green Jackets, and Scotty Scheffler.

This week regular co-host Lawrence Donegan is joined by special guest Mike Clayton to look back on the 2024 Masters. We talk about Scottie, Rory, Ludwig and, the biggest star of them all -- the golf course at Augusta National.

This week Geoff Shackelford and Lawrence Donegan are joined by Iain Carter to discuss his new book "Golf Wars", which takes us on a journey through the madness of last two years of professional golf.

Jam-packed show this week. Shackelford and Donegan are joined by Friend of the Pod Bob Harig to discuss his new book delving into the legacy of Tiger Woods, Drive. Before that, our hosts discuss Peter Malnati's great win on the PGA Tour, homemade putting strokes versus orthodox putting strokes, and the importance of muni golf.

Lots of golf, and lots of golf politics this week. Geoff Shackelford and Lawrence Donegan talk about a fantastic Players championship - from Scheffler's performance to NBC's return to golf broadcasting form, from the booing of Jay to Wyndham's impersonation for Michael Flatley in the Sawgrass rough. We also discuss the Nassau peace talks.

This week Shack and Donegan are joined by Friend of the Pod, the Guardian's Ewan Murray, to discuss today's Jay Monahan's "State of the Tour" press conference - what he said, and what he left unsaid. We try our best to decode the commissioner's grumpy demeanor and excessive verbiage. Our hosts then discuss Bay Hill, the "mashing" habits of our PGA Tour heroes and the Netflix portrayal of the Ryder Cup "boys' club".

A lot of LIV this week as Geoff Shackelford and Lawrence Donegan dissect the latest OGWR twist, access to the Majors for the Saudi crew and the Anthony Kim car crash. We check in on the "Events of June 6th" ask the big question - WTF is Rory up to? Finally, we say farewell to Keith Pelley, eternal optimist ground down by the golf wars.

A worldwide show this week as Shackelford and Donegan discuss the success of Europeans on the PGA Tour, golf in Africa and the Middle East, the Masters' invites and, last and most certainly least, "The Match".

Our two hosts made it to the Genesis Invitaional this year and look back on a fantastic event from the perspective of a media member (Geoff) and as a fan (Lawrence). Our hosts also discuss the appointment of a new Walker Cup captain for GB&I, throw out some gossip about the, ahem, "negotiations" between PGAT and LIV, and disagree over just about everything else. A fun episode.
