When your co-host heads Down Under, you call in a Tour boss.
In this episode of Tales From The Tips, DA is joined by Tour Championship Executive Director Alex Urban while 15-year Tour Caddy Mick Middlemo makes his trek back home to Australia. And let’s just say…this one goes inside the ropes in a way only this podcast can.
The guys dive into Texas Children's Houston Open and the emotional victory of Gary Woodland—breaking down what moments like that actually feel like in the locker room, not just what you see on TV. From raw reactions to behind-the-scenes dynamics, this is storytelling you won’t get anywhere else.
DA and Alex also tackle the hottest topics on Tour:
The never-ending (and slightly painful) reality of slow play
Injury updates and how they quietly impact leaderboards
Why every tournament has its own personality—and why fans should care
Early insights into the vision of new PGA Tour CEO Brian Rollap
Plus, Alex gives a unique perspective on the Tour Championship—what fans don’t see, what players really think, and what’s coming next as the game continues to evolve.
It’s part insider access, part locker room banter, and part “did they really just say that?”—all wrapped into one episode that reminds you why golf is as much about stories as it is scorecards.
🎧 Whether you’re a diehard golf fan or just here for the behind-the-scenes chaos, this episode delivers.
