After 164 PGA Tour starts, Tommy Fleetwood finally did it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For years, Fleetwood has been golf\u2019s \u201cclose-but-not-quite\u201d guy, flashing brilliance at places like the Travelers and FedEx St. Jude, only to see Sunday pressure undo him. But at East Lake, he flipped the script. With a Saturday lead in hand, Tommy stared down the nerves, closed out the field, and pocketed a career-changing $10 million FedEx Cup victory.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s a question Dan and the crew dive into on the show: what actually changed in Fleetwood\u2019s approach this time, and will it stick?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile on LIV Golf, Jon Rahm is building an empire. Two weeks after locking up his second straight season-long individual title, he carried Legion XIII through drama-filled match play and into a sudden-death showdown with Bryson DeChambeau\u2019s Crushers. On the second playoff hole, Rahm buried a clutch putt to seal the team championship, and the clean sweep.<\/p>\n

The guys debate: does Rahm\u2019s LIV dominance outweigh his underwhelming major season when it comes to Ryder Cup selection?\u00a0<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the Creator Classic, a once-hyped fan event that didn\u2019t quite live up to it this time. How did it go from one of the most talked about events in golf to an afterthought?<\/p>\n

Dan breaks down exactly what went wrong and why the event\u2019s struggles matter for golf\u2019s future crossover with content creators.
