Holly G is in the studio and Rich Bianco calls in from Hammock Beach Resort, a Salamander Resort, where he is competing in the North Florida PGA Section Championship, the season's final major.

Holly and the gang talk about Henrik Stenson's wire-to-wire win at the PGA TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola and with it he won the FedEx Cup for the second time in its short existence.

Bob Harig, ESPN.com, calls in to talk to Holly about the wrap up of the 2013 PGA Tour season, the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Bob and Holly also talks about reviewing the FedEx Cup points structure. They also talk Player of the Year that will be announced Friday along with the Rookie of the Year who figures to be Jordan Spieth. Tiger is the favorite with 5 wins to pick up the player of the year award. Bob feels that Tiger is often judged on his past accomplishments. Without a major this year, there is room for discussion of other players contending for the title.

Holly and Bob talk about the upcoming President's Cup Oct. 1-6. Bob points out that both U.S. and International players have played at Muirfield Village Golf Club so there is no really home field advantage. 

Jeff Shain, PGA Tour.com, joins Holly live from Ponte Vedre Beach, Fla. at the Web.com Tour Championship. Jeff goes over some of the players who are in the hunt for the PGA Tour card. The duo also talk about Player of the Year. 

In honor of the FedEx Cup and the end of the season, The Golf Insiders gave away a $650 Stay and Play package for the Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast to help celebrate the reopening of its Conservatory Course. Holly G announced that Sue Krizmanich of Orlando is the lucky winner. Congratulations Sue! Enjoy tour stay and playing golf.

Brad Hauer, Hammock Beach Resort Director of Golf, calls in to wrap up the show. There are two courses at Hammock Beach, the Ocean Course and the Conservatory Course. Brad says that Playing from the back tees on the Conservatory it has been rated as the longest and hardest course in Florida to play. Not a typical Florida style golf course with a lot of undulations and bunkers.
