What if golfing under the stars could transform Las Vegas into a night-time golfer’s paradise? This episode of the Chasing Daylight podcast explores that exciting possibility, along with the intriguing dynamics at play between PGA and LIV tour players. We kick things off by discussing the Crypto.com showdown at Shadow Creek and the surprising departure of the PGA Tour from Las Vegas after a 42-year tradition. Amidst the sports buzz in Vegas, we also share a lighthearted take on the Raiders’ rocky season and celebrate the Vegas Golden Knights’ winning streak, hinting at the exciting potential of a future NBA team joining the city's vibrant sports scene.

Our conversation takes an interesting turn as we recount the unique broadcast format of a recent golf tournament that left viewers scratching their heads. Rory McIlroy’s and Scottie Scheffler’s standout performances are front and center, while the evolving rivalry between Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka adds another layer of intrigue. We dive into the charm of Shadow Creek, the untapped potential of night golf, and how this could enhance the Las Vegas golf scene. Plus, we touch on the missed opportunities for courses like Angel Park to capitalize on this novel idea and the allure of playing iconic courses under the moonlight.

Finally, we tackle the age-old problem of slow play on the golf course with humor and a touch of frustration. From hilarious stories of grumpy marshals to creative suggestions like a “golfer’s license” for proper etiquette, we explore solutions to keep the game moving. We wrap up on a festive note, sharing warm holiday wishes and a few laughs over the infamous “Potty Putter” gift. As we sign off, we thank our listeners for their support, leaving them with a light-hearted reminder to embrace kindness and consider the thoughtfulness
