With the boys off filming the latest season of Tourist Sauce, KVV steps into the captain's chair along with our pal Shane Bacon for this week's recap episode.

After a special cameo in our show open, we start with the Sony where Grayson Murray wins in a playoff over Keegan Bradley and Ben An. We talk through Murray's play in Hawaii and his personal struggles in recent years, plus Carl Yuan's....... interesting...... TIO ruling on 18 (32:40) and Gary Woodland's emotional return to the tour after brain surgery in September (47:00).

Then it's on to Dubai (50:30) for Tommy Fleetwood's dramatic birdie-birdie finish to beat Rory McIlroy by a shot. We prognosticate on the rest of 2024 for both Tommy and Rory and then look at the off-course news of both Martin Slumbers and Keith Pelley stepping away from their respective roles at the R&A and the DP World Tour.

We wrap with some thoughts on the end of Tiger's Nike contract (1:21:00) and the numerous legends across other sports - players and coaches - who have recently retired or are reaching the end of their competitive careers.
