Risers and fallers from 2024 PGA Tour season and could you catch an NFL QB’s pass

A true first-of-the-month recording begins with Andy and Brendan recapping their Halloween festivities and the announcement of the winner of the SGS Halloween Costume Idea contest. Without much golf to talk about, Andy went as a Data Boy for Halloween and took a look at strokes gained data for the 2024 season and compared players to the previous year. Andy and Brendan talk through the risers and fallers of 2024 as the season nears its end, hitting on the continued development of Akshay Bhatia, Jordan Spieth's quest to find his game, and two sleepers that Andy thinks may have breakout years in 2025. The two then discuss the place of golf in today's sports world, as an everyday golfer can theoretically compete with a Tour pro on a hole-to-hole basis. This leads to questioning whether anyone could catch a pass from an NFL quarterback at full velocity, score a basket on Harrison Barnes or Jrue Holiday, or return a serve from Carlos Alcaraz. Sticking with some football talk, Andy breaks the news that Ted Scott is spending the week with the Buffalo Bills. Brendan cleans up the rest of the news from this week to wrap things up, mentioning Cam Smith's displeasure with LIV's Open Championship prep and the latest installment of "The Match."
