Put on your oven mitts because this first episode of 2022 is rich with hot takes, including which player will end the season on top of the world rankings. 

Speaking of top players, a few more, including Tony Finau, committed to the Saudi International in February, which requires a waiver from the PGA Tour. It seems the Greg Norman-led venture is hanging around. While one PGA Tour star called the proposed Super League "a good thing for the Tour," Commissioner Jay Monahan likely feels differently. 

Meanwhile, Viktor Hovland's week in paradise got off to a turbulent start thanks to his airline of choice fumbling his clubs in transit. This isn't the first time the emerging star has hit a pre-tournament speed bump though and last time it worked out pretty well. 

It's all packed into this inaugural Up and Down of 2022.
