Scottie Scheffler is playing unbelievable golf—and somehow, people still seem unimpressed. Kyle lays out five reasons Scottie’s current run matches (or exceeds) Tiger Woods at the same age, while Jason pushes back on what numbers can and can’t explain. It’s a conversation about dominance, boredom, legacy, and what it actually means to appreciate greatness while it’s happening.

Brentley Romine joins The Normal Sport Show to talk about meaningful golf — from amateur championships and Q School to the stories that shape future stars long before the PGA Tour spotlight. The conversation moves through golf media, player development, and why those early moments matter more than signature events. It ends with a draft of the players we believe will define the next era of professional golf.

Kyle and Jason go full gratitude mode — and end up debating Thanksgiving food, Scotty Scheffler’s soul, and whether tennis players are the best athletes on earth. Along the way they fix the Skins Game, praise short books, and shout out some of golf’s quiet geniuses. It’s golf talk with pie crumbs on your keyboard.

What actually grows golf? James Colgan argues for opening the highlight floodgates, putting pros on YouTube, and letting curators do what leagues can’t. Kyle and Jason push on TV conflicts, attention spans, and why the majors + Ryder Cup are the only truly “must-watch” five. Stick around for the nuclear takes at the end.

Kyle and LKD spend an hour building the statistical revolution golf should already have — crushed-percentage, unforced errors, momentum adjustments, Ryder Cup psychology, all of it. It’s deeply nerdy, perfectly Normal Sport, and sometimes emotional (because Rory). Jason Page joins as producer-commentator and occasional philosopher.
