Lots to unpack on the recap pod tonight as Ashleigh Buhai wins the 2022 AIG Women's Open at Muirfield by defeating In Gee Chun in a four hole sudden death playoff. Meanwhile stateside in Greensboro, Tom Kim wins the Wyndham by five shots after a 61 on Sunday to close down the 2022 PGA Tour Regular Season - and Nick Faldo's CBS broadcasting career.  Off the course, eleven LIV players - including Phil and Bryson - have filed an antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour with three players seeking a temporary restraining order aiming to compete in this week's FedEx Cup Playoffs.  We try to make sense of the lawsuit with Lauren Donahue, a Chicago based attorney who specializes in antitrust, competition and trade regulation and then have an extended chat with friend of the pod Will Bardwell who helps contextualize the legal implications and what's ahead in both short and long term scenarios.   Learn more about your ad choices.
