Episode notes

Rory McIlroy took THE PLAYERS Championship in a playoff victory Monday morning, claiming yet another big win. But his week started off with an odd fan interaction, and Alex and Michael continue to wonder if he's the man who can win another major, or even the star the game needs anymore.
Tiger Woods had an odd week, from another surgery should end his PGA career (says Michael), to rumors of an intimate relationship with someone from the inner Trump circle.
The LPGA and TGL rumors are heating up, meaning we might start seeing Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko, among others, hitting it into the massive simulator screen. But Michael warns that what we really want is teams featuring both the women and the men.
The Valspar Championship wraps up the PGA TOUR's Florida swing, a course that is surprisingly hilly for the Sunshine State.
Alex made a trek to Horseshoe Bay Resort to see the opening of the new Callaway Golf Academy, and while there got to chat with Horseshoe Bay's Director of Golf, Anthony Holder, golf content creator Dalton Joyce, and Nicholas Callaway, the son of Callaway founder Ely Callaway.
In Tuned In, Michael shares how sometimes being a dog owner means not sleeping well.
March Madness is truly upon us now, as the brackets are out and all the mid-majors are watching from the outside. Alex and Michael take quick looks at the men's and women's tournaments, and Alex gives his favorites and sleepers.
NFL Free Agency continues to heat up, but Michael's Giants keep doing odd things (or nothing at all).
Major League Baseball kicks off its regular season on March 18 in Japan, but then takes a week to go back to Spring Training before actually starting the rest of the season. Michael and Alex are perplexed.
As the guys #AlwaysEndWithFood, Alex shares the great food he had at Horseshoe Bay, while Michael shares an exciting new appetizer he made with roasted grapes.
