Show Notes

Pinehurst No. 2 is designed to be one of the more challenging, intimidating major golf courses, and it will be the stage for this weekend’s US Open. Golfer-turned-analyst Smylie Kaufman joins the show to discuss the nuances of broadcasting the tournament, and how his time as a player against many of today’s top competitors informs his approach as an analyst.

Plus, Formula E has a new majority owner, the Big 12 is mulling a massive conference naming rights deal, and a peculiar drama is unfolding in the world of competitive eating.
