What separates the best golfers in the world from everyone else? Sometimes it’s talent. Sometimes it’s preparation. And sometimes it’s simply an obsessive willingness to put in the work.

On this Golf Live mailbag, Trey Wingo and Justin Ray dig into the work habits that have helped some of the game’s best players build their careers before turning to the pressure facing players fighting to keep their PGA Tour status.

Then comes one of our best fan questions yet: If Jackson Koivun could guarantee himself Jordan Spieth’s career today, should he take it or bet on himself? Three majors, world No. 1 and three legs of the career Grand Slam make the decision a lot harder than it sounds.

Plus, the guys discuss Jim Nantz’s World Golf Hall of Fame case, Lauren Coughlin’s incredible nine-birdie run and whether moving the PGA Championship to October could give the major the spotlight it deserves.

Should Jackson Koivun Take Jordan Spieth’s Career or Bet on Himself? Our Best Fan Question Yet

Jackson Koivun’s professional career is just getting started, but the golf world already knows his name.

After a decorated career at Auburn, Koivun won the 3M Open in just his third PGA Tour start, holding off world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler for his first professional victory. Then came his Presidents Cup debut, where Koivun became the only player in the 24-man field to go without a loss and delivered a huge Sunday singles win over Si Woo Kim for Team USA.

Now, Koivun joins Trey Wingo to break down the mentality behind his meteoric start and what comes next.

Koivun explains why his now-famous walk off the 18th tee against Si Woo Kim was completely intentional, what went through his mind while holding off Scheffler, and why he believes his brain can be a “superpower” that allows him to compete with the best players in the world.

He also opens up about being “shell shocked” when he got the call to join Team USA, his relationship with Justin Thomas and Russell Henley, adjusting to life on the PGA Tour and his ambitions to compete on golf’s biggest stages. 

And with a PGA Tour win and an unbeaten Presidents Cup debut already behind him, Koivun makes it clear he isn’t thinking small about what could come next: “At the end of the day, someone’s gotta win a tournament.”

Jackson Koivun Explains the Secret Behind His Meteoric Start

Former NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith sits down with Trey Wingo on Straight Facts, Homie for a blunt, no-spin look at the state of NFL labor. Smith explains why he believes the players’ union is in a leadership crisis, how secret agreements with the league around collusion and guaranteed contracts undercut player power, and why understanding the history of Ed Garvey, Gene Upshaw, Bill Radovich, Marvin Miller, and the early days of the NFLPA is the only way to avoid repeating old mistakes. If you care about how the NFL really works behind the scenes, this is not a feel-good conversation. It is a reality check.Trey and Smith walk through how the 2011 lockout, decertification, and the current CBA through 2030 actually happened, why the 17th regular season game cost the league more than a billion dollars, and what Roger Goodell is really signaling with public talk about an 18 game schedule. Smith explains “asymmetrical negotiation,” why owners do not fear a player strike, and why something as simple as refusing to attend unpaid OTAs would send a louder message than any tweet. They dig into the financial expectations around year over year billion dollar revenue growth, the owners’ leverage, and what it would actually take for players to get a fair price for an 18th or even 19th game.From Jerry Jones refusing to deal with agent David Mulugheta, to the way agents derive their power from the NFLPA, to how workers compensation, access to medical records, and lifetime health care matter more than any one bad call from NFL referees, Smith keeps pulling the lens back to power and structure. He and Trey also touch on the impact of NIL on the culture of sports unions, the role of rank and file player reps in locker rooms, and why the next generation of leaders has to decide whether they want to be liked by owners or effective for players.In the final stretch, Smith describes the NFL for what it is: 31 billionaire owners with no SEC oversight, no public filings, and a business model that privatizes wealth while socializing costs through taxpayer funded stadiums. Using recent examples like the Kansas City Chiefs stadium situation and Terry Pegula’s deal in Buffalo, he shows how far owners will push if no one pushes back. If you want to understand the real stakes behind the coming 18 game schedule fight, the future of the NFLPA, and what labor versus management actually looks like in pro football, this Straight Facts, Homie conversation with Trey Wingo and DeMaurice Smith is your playbook.
