About this episode

Trent and Frankie man the show and Dan Rapaport joins (15:23) as PGA Tour changes are announced just before recording. More elevated events, guaranteed money, travel stipends, changes to the PIP, and more. Tiger and Rory collaborate and form a new tech-infused team golf league. A “sounds of the universe” clip was released, and it’s horrific. Trent and Frankie discuss golf course maintenance, creation and much more with four different golf superintendents around the country from Long Island to Arizona (49:27).
