Roger Steele and the TGL
Chicago’s unofficial golf ambassador Roger Steele joins the Chicago Golf Report Podcast to break down where golf is headed and why TGL could change the way fans experience the game. Roger shares what it’s like serving as the in-arena Master of Ceremonies for TGL, including the energy inside the building, how close fans are to the best players in the world, and why the format makes pros feel more relatable. We also dive into the technology and design possibilities TGL unlocks—imagine “infinite holes” in a compact footprint, and a future where golf architecture expands beyond traditional land-based courses.
We also talk about the new era of golf media: the fragmentation of content, why it’s a net positive, and how creators are changing storytelling around major events. Roger reflects on the 2025 Ryder Cup, then shares big hopes for the Presidents Cup in Chicago—a chance for a true “redemption story,” stronger team energy, and a global spotlight on the city (and the newly redesigned Medinah Country Club).
Finally, Roger highlights his work making golf more inclusive in Chicago along with KemperSports, and calls out the local courses that matter most—plus his personal philosophy on competition, curiosity, and improving while balancing parenthood.
