Happy Wednesday. Rory McIlroy's first Pebble Beach win should've been a pure celebration. Instead, CBS's decision to have Amanda Balionis conduct his post-round interview had fans cringing at their screens. Eight months after their rumored relationship nearly destroyed his marriage, this moment was impossible to ignore. ⬇️

If you’re new here, welcome to Bogey Bois Golf. 5 minutes of golf news that won’t put you to sleep every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday.

🔍 Today’s highlights:

• 👕 Max Homa told Ryan Fitzpatrick to go shirtless at the WM Open

🎙️ The Starter

Last Starter: 64% of readers knew that Tiger Woods won his first Masters at the age of 21. Speaking of Tiger at Augusta, this rare footage from his 1995 amateur debut is absolutely mind-blowing. A 19-year-old Tiger was hitting 8-irons into par 5s, sending range balls over 260-yard fences, and making the world's best pros look average. Two years before his historic win, he was already showing signs of what was coming. ⬇️

🗑️ The Waste Management

The Waste Management got so out of control last year that pros started screaming at fans to 'shut up.' With the rowdiest event in golf starting this week, everyone's wondering if Phoenix can avoid another disaster. Last year a woman was hospitalized and alcohol sales were cut off - and that was just Sunday. ⬇️

🚨 Desperate Times?

TGL's latest announcement has fans questioning Tiger Woods' vision for the league. Four weeks after launch, they're already copying LIV Golf's YouTube playbook, and the timing of their Good Good Golf partnership has everyone crying 'desperate.' ⬇️

⛳️ 18 Straight Pars

A 7-handicap golfer has spent the last 310 days trying to make 18 straight pars, and the internet can't look away. These brothers film the same thing every single day, never changing their formula, and somehow it's become YouTube's most addictive golf content. ⬇️

🌭 RIP

Golf's younger generation is killing the halfway house hot dog, and courses couldn't be happier. New data shows less than 5% of golfers still order the $5 classic, choosing $30 lobster rolls and craft cocktails instead. The profit margin difference is transforming how courses think about their food service. ⬇️

The Waste Management

Sepp Straka almost had it last week, and still held on to capture a huge Top 20 finish at T7, while Morikawa just missed out on the Top 10 at T13. Now we move on to the people's tournament, The Waste Management. I'm sure this week will be filled with excitement and just a bunch of guys being guys. This week is all about fan favorites executing on key holes, so that's who we're going with - root for your guys, but also bet these for some free play for Super Bowl Sunday:

• Tom Kim Top 10 (+250)

• Sahith Theegala Top 20 (+150)

• Justin Thomas Top 10 (+130)

Keep tailing these picks and you're practically going to pay for all those Super Bowl squares on Sunday.
