About this episode
The Fire Pit Collective golf writer Alan Shipnuck tells Rich why there’s a growing schism among PGA Tour players at the top of the food chain and the tour’s middle class and Tiger Woods’ “shadow commissioner” role in keeping players from defecting, why Open Championship winner Cameron Smith joining the Saudi-backed tour brings big-time legitimacy to the upstart league, and why LIV Golf is here to stay due to bottomless financial backing.
Rich explains why the LIV Tour isn’t going away and if a compromise can be reached between the league and the PGA Tour, then reveals his new list of Top 5 NFL Things He’s Talked Himself into including takes on Kirk Cousins, the AFC East, the Chiefs’ offense, the Seahawks, and the Steelers’ QB competition.
Rich makes a big announcement about the future TV home of the show.
