    Enhanced Games CEO on Embracing Performance Enhancing Drugs in Sports, $25M Prize Pool & More

    The Enhanced Games just began trading on the New York Stock Exchange, backed by Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr., with a $25 million prize pool for 50 athletes and a $50 million total budget for an event built around one radical idea: athletes should be allowed to use performance-enhancing substances in a safe and supervised environment. The CEO Max Martin joins Front Office Sports on the day the company went public to explain how they got here and what comes next. The games take place Memorial Day weekend in Las Vegas with 2,500 invite-only spectators, but the broadcast strategy is something no major sports property has tried before. Athletes can compete clean or enhanced, and the question of how much each athlete discloses about what they are taking, and how that transparency actually works in practice, is one of the more complicated questions the Enhanced Games has had to answer. The MLB steroid era forever changed how sports fans think about performance enhancing drugs. The Enhanced Games is making the argument that the entire framework around banned substances in sports needs to be rethought, that world records are being broken, and that the future of the league extends well beyond Las Vegas and well beyond the three sports launching this year.

    PGA Championship 2025: Prize Money Questions, LIV Golf Drama, Free Food, and More

    The PGA Championship is underway in Pennsylvania with 156 of the world's best golfers, but the event long nicknamed the fourth major has a prize money problem that no one in golf is ignoring. FOS reporter David Rumsey is on the ground at Aronimink and the business storylines surrounding this tournament are as compelling as anything happening on the course. The PGA of America has a new CEO who just stepped into the public eye for the first time since being hired in February, and he had things to say about the tournament's identity, its date, and whether it could ever leave the United States. There are also 11 LIV players in the field this week including Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, and the future of both of them on LIV is genuinely uncertain in ways that could reshape the entire golf landscape before the year is out. Then there is the food situation, which is more interesting than it sounds. General admission to the PGA Championship includes all-inclusive food and non-alcoholic beverages baked into the ticket price, and the secondary ticket market this week has done something unexpected for a sold-out event. David Rumsey has all the details from inside the ropes.
