This week the trio are in reflective mood after an Eddie-less Korean climax to the regular DP World Tour schedule, which saw him slip to 101st in the rankings and miss out on a full card for next season. The man himself has no regrets about not playing and is full of praise for Sean Crocker, whose stunning back nine of 29 on Sunday moved him above Eddie into the magical 100th position. There is plenty of discussion about Eddie's ambitions and his next moves, which don't include a trip to Q-School but do include the possibility of a final round pairing with Charles Howell III in Mauritius. LIV desertions feature in the conversation, as well as a curious bonus payments for the CEO. Meanwhile Iain considers who is worthy of a place in the World Golf Hall of Fame and Eddie comes up with a cautionary tale of why video might not be good for the podcast.

In a bafflingly long pod episode featuring just two people, Andrew and Iain convene to pick over the bones of Eddie's efforts in India, which contained all the highs and lows of his season just as it came to an end. They debate his decision not to play in Korea, even though it almost certainly means missing out a full Tour card. There is also debate about large trousers, the responsibility of the games big stars to travel the world, and which is a bigger waste of money: LIV golf or the Butterfield Championship?

This week Eddie joins Andrew and Iain in the midst of his packing for an unexpected trip to India, as his season continues and with it his chance of earning a full card for next season. The three review the Open De Espana, where Eddie fought for every precious point and Grant Forrest saved his season with a dramatic victory.

Eddie talks openly about the pressure he is feeling as well as what he is having to do to get his injured body through the test.

There is also mention of the bright young talent of Michael Brennan after his third PGA Tour victory, as well as the even younger talent of Blades Brown. There is also time for a discussion on the new tactics of the DP World Tour, getting tougher with LIV, as well as consideration of the important question: 'if Eddie were a football team, which one would he be?'
