Andy Gardiner from the Premier Golf League (PGL) joins the podcast to discuss the format for the league, how the league's proposal has evolved in recent years, inconsistencies in the reports around the league, the issues that golf faces, and why the golf world could look a lot different with a bit of imagination. We discuss their desire to work directly with the PGA Tour, the confusion around their involvement with the Saudis, what PGA Tour players stand to gain from their proposal, and so much more. Thanks a ton to Andy for the time and transparency.

Four years after his first appearance on the pod, we welcome back Jim Nantz of CBS to detail the changes in the network's golf coverage, offer some context around the growth of the Masters coverage and infrastructure, Scottie Scheffler's recent dominance and the current fractured environment in pro golf.
We also get some amazing stories from Jim's time on the road, his favorite meal spots at various tour stops, and an incredible story to close us out surrounding an encounter from early in his career with an iconic actor at an iconic course.
