Episode 2423: Guardian Of Golf Roars To Victory, Dollar Fetish, Cork’s Canon
Rory McIlroy became the first 3-time winner of the FedEx Cup last night, chasing down the world number 1 Scottie Scheffler who held a 6-shot lead going into the final round.
Rory’s PGA Tour season …
• Won CJ Cup
• Won Canadian Open
• Savaged Greg Norman
• Won Tour Championship
• 10 top 10s in 16 starts
• Top eight at all four majors
• $27 million earned
• Saved golf— Kyle Porter (@KylePorterCBS) August 28, 2022
Rory, who started the week 6 back of Scheffler, was asked why he excels as a chaser.
“Because out of everyone in the field, I care the least about the money.”

But what’s the difference between the 18.5 million dollars Rory won last night and the Saudi money on offer in LIVgolf?
There’s also Damien Delaney’s dad’s hurling exploits, Cork’s canon, Paul Galvin in Leap last week, and why watching a brilliant sportsperson mentally implode is so enjoyable.
