We're pulling double duty on this week's recap pod with Ruoning Yin claiming the KPMG Women's PGA Championship and Keegan Bradley winning the Travelers.

We start at Baltusrol with Yin's first major championship, the close calls for some of the contenders on the leaderboard, our thoughts on Baltusrol as a host for a women's major and the television coverage from the weekend.

Then it's on to the Travelers (56:15) where Keegan Bradley took advantage of the home game models and won with a whopping 23 under par at TPC River Highlands. We're joined by friend of the program Zac Blair (1:02:45), fresh off his T-2 finish, for his take on the course and what it's like competing in elevated purse events.

We close with some of the rumblings and remaining unknowns around the PGA Tour and the potential deal with the Saudi PIF (1:37:30).

We then shift to the off the course drama from earlier in the week as more details emerge about the proposed framework agreement between the Saudi PIF and the PGA Tour. We theorize LIV's potential future, the communication - or lack thereof - from the PGA Tour to its members, the lack of initial details about the new structure, and what happens next if the deal does (or doesn't) go through.

Then it's on to Liberty National as Rose announces her presence on tour with a win just a week after she defended her title in the NCAAs. In short, there's no better time for some absurd predictions on how many career majors she'll win.
