Reasonably Happy with Paul Ollinger

Life after the PGA Championship with Rich Beem - ENCORE EPISODE


Listen Later

This is an encore episode with Rich Beem, winner of the 2002 PGA Championship, one of professional golf’s four major tournaments. Despite having won twice on tour prior to the PGA, Rich's win at Hazeltine was as unlikely as the groovy dance moves he busted out after sinking his final putt of the tournament. Describing himself as “the luckiest guy in the world,” Rich played the game loose and wide open, but the rising expectations of being a major champion became a distraction, and he never won again on tour. In this chat, Rich speaks candidly about:

  • Selling car stereos and grinding his way up the golf ladder,
  • Finding purpose and meaning in life as his PGA prospects began to dim. 
  • The reason he tells his son that “what you shoot is not you”
  • Why he loves working as an analyst at Sky Sports
  • Rich was born in Phoenix, AZ, grew up in El Paso, TX and played college golf at New Mexico State University. Today Rich plays on the PGA Champions Tour and works as a TV golf analyst on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland.(Originally posted November, 2020. Follow Rich on Twitter.
