Golf Digest Podcast
Great content and presentation though very USA centric, how about looking at some other areas of the world ?
Netflix & The PGA

I think the content of your podcasts is generally great - congratulations. However, even though you guys are great salesmen for golf, a game I love too, we should all a bit more honest about what is going on here. It’s about money - that dreadful stuff that we all pretend doesn’t motivate us. Mickelson is not the only greedy one - you should discuss that in detail.
Drive to Survive was great entertainment but completely sanitised of what F1 is hugely about - no mention of Hamilton’s $40m earnings per season or just how much each team makes or loses. I fully expect not one of the successful golfers in the Netflix series will go anywhere near how well they have done from the sport or what there agents negotiate for them.
We’re all grown up and should talk about the reality of sport but sadly it’s probably not good for business!!
