In this special G&P Cup preview, we turn the spotlight on the Republican team. Host Matt Parker introduces his squad of conservative golfers heading into the inaugural Golf & Politics Cup in Nebraska. From seasoned politicos to Republican office holders, each teammate shares their background, golf game status, and what they’re most excited about for the bipartisan showdown.

Co-host Rob Ellsworth faces a Shotgun 9 of tough, funny, and politically-charged questions from the Republican side — from transgender athletes and Title IX to Trump loyalty, immigration policy, the national debt, and more. Despite the barbs, this episode is full of camaraderie, spirited debate, and respect across the aisle — all united by the love of golf.

Topics include:

Full introductions of the Republican team

The case for strokes vs. no strokes in match play

A deep debate over transgender athletes and fairness in women’s sports

National debt, government overreach, and bipartisan failures

Golf trips, gamesmanship, and trash talk ahead of the G&P Cup
