Which golf stats actually help amateurs improve, and which ones are mostly noise? Charles and Roy go through driving distance, fairways hit, putts per round, greens in regulation, double bogeys, and handicap and decide what they would keep, kill, or replace. They also reveal the three stats they would track if they could only choose three.

Then, they break down LIV Golf’s Chapter 11 restructuring, what it could mean for its biggest stars, and whether LIV ultimately changed professional golf for the better. Plus, TaylorMade is up for sale. Why now, what could the company be worth, and would Charles or Roy put their entire $3 billion portfolio into buying it?
