The Masters, Augusta & Upcoming Tour Predictions


Listen Later

The Masters never disappoints—and this episode breaks it all down. From Rory’s historic performance and Augusta conspiracy theories, to course setup debates, player behavior controversies, and insights from fitting golfers in Hong Kong—this is a deep, unfiltered golf conversation.

We also dive into what makes Augusta National so unique, why it may (or may not) be the best course in the world, and look ahead to the remaining majors this season.

Plus: real-world club fitting insights, crazy swing speeds, and what golfers in Hong Kong are bringing to the table.

If you're serious about understanding golf beyond the surface—strategy, performance, and the culture of the game—this episode delivers.
