Two new episodes of Friendly Banter dropped this week!
On the first, Tom and Andrew chat with Instagram sensation WeiWei Gao, a professional golfer trying to grind his way onto the Tour and a former D1 golfer at The University of Virginia.
On the second, Tom and Andrew catch up on LIV Golf’s recent addition of Anthony Kim and provide a brief introduction to the college golf season that is now underway.
Feb 29 - Mar 3 | PGA National | Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Just off the coast of Florida is the Champion course at PGA National. The PGA National course itself is just a meager 7,147 yards, but it actually plays much longer with a handful of very long Par 4s and Par 5s that most players won’t be able to reach in two. It’s not the most exciting course, and it is literally one of the flattest courses on the Tour, but there are enough bunkers and water hazards in play to give the players a bit of a challenge. Rory is back in the field as the clear favorite (+800) after a couple of weeks off and hot off his win of The Match on Monday night. Following him down the odds sheet are Cam Young, Russell Henley, Eric Cole, and Byeong An. Who do you like this week?
Who's your pick to win The Cognizant Classic?

Anthony Kim:
“I’ll tell my story when it’s the right time but right now I’m focused on golf.”
I’d expect there will be an interview with LIV’s David Feherty before his competitive return to the US in Miami!

The Match IX takeaways:
- big fan of Rory/Max/Rose/Lexi
- this was the most dialed in I’ve been for any of these matches
- more LPGA/PGA (and LIV!) mixed-gender events need to happen
- I don’t like staying up past 9:30— claire rogers (@kclairerogers)
