What. The. Hell?!
Peace appears to have (very unexpectedly) broken out in professional men’s golf civil war.
The PGA Tour has agreed to merge with LIV Golf and the DP World Tour in a groundbreaking new commercial entity to “unify” the professional game, ending months of division, hostility and rancour.
It’s a truly huge announcement – and one that nobody saw coming – which merits its very own Emergency Podcast.
Within minutes of the news breaking, Michael and Bryce hit record to document their reaction – and those of the game’s biggest names and you, our listeners – in this special ep.
