Happy Monday,
Decided to change it up for today’s post…
I got probably a dozen emails/DM’s over the weekend asking for a breakdown of the situation taking place in golf between LIV and the PGA Tour.
As I’m sure you can imagine, these in-depth breakdowns take a lot of time and research.
As I began to jot out some notes I realized it was going to be a really long article.
It made more sense to do these two things:
Record a podcast breaking it down
Provide you with some articles for further reading
I recorded the podcast alongside my friend Jared Doerfler who covers the business of golf at Perfect Putt.
You can listen to that above by:

If you prefer to listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify press “Open in Player” or “Listen On”
Here are the segments we covered with timestamps:
0:00 - Intro to LIV + recap of their 1st event
3:35 - Tarnishing the legacy of golfers?
6:40 - Current process from college to pro golf
10:15 - 250th NBA player vs. 250th PGA Tour player
13:35 - Would teams work in pro golf?
17:30 - Greg Norman and the Saudis
23:40 - The future of LIV golf
26:45 - Impact on endorsements
30:40 - NIL’s effect on amateur/college golf
Let’s get after it this week!
