Scottie’s “100 percent” recovery, 2024 laments, and 2025 optimism

Andy and Brendan return for the final episode of 2024 before The Sentry (hard cut) kicks off on Thursday to start the 2025 season. Per usual, this Monday episode begins with a Swag Sports Minute discussing the current states of the Bears, Browns, and Jets. From there, Andy and Brendan put a bow on 2024, talking though some late-breaking news as the year comes to an end. Scottie Scheffler will not be playing in The Sentry after undergoing hand surgery on Christmas, which has already taken some luster out of the PGA Tour's first event. Joe Mayo and Viktor Hovland have broken up yet again, with Viktor's status for Kapalua still TBD after a toe injury over the holidays. Brendan and Andy share what they're most excited about in 2025, namely the Ryder Cup and a year of strong major venues. They also go over some potential breakout players for 2025 as a way to keep the optimism flowing.
