About this episode
This week, Viktor Hovland gets a giant payday, Professional Bull Rider for the Austin Gamblers, Austin Richardson chats with Alex, and Michael is getting ready for the hurricane. The TOUR Championship was only exciting to see how low Hovland would go as he claims the season finale and the big 18 million dollar check (1:57). The guys take a look back on the PGA TOUR season and who claim Player of the Year between Rahm, Scheffler, McIlory, and Hovland (4:34). On the ladies circuit, Megan Khang claims victory in Canada after 191 career starts, and the US Solheim Cup names their final members, who Alex may have suggested to team captain Stacy Lewis back in January (6:13). This week's Champions Tour event looked to be in Paul Goydos' hands, until he took five putts on the 72nd green (8:24). This week on our YouTube Channel, our video of our time at the European Club is live, and this weekend we'll post our video of our time in the South East of Ireland, including a round at Rosslare (9:42). Donald Trump announced winning his club's Senior Championship with a 67, but the guys wonder what he really shot (10:56).

In Tuned In, Michael is watching out for Hurricane Idalia as it bears down on Florida and eventually Savannah, while Alex is watching the rise of past guest Mitch Rossell (12:45). This week's guest is Austin Richardson, a member of the PBR's Austin Gamblers.

College football is back with a bang after Notre Dame took it to Navy in Dublin, Ireland (37:30).
