LIV Golf’s legacy and future; and the women who should be running Premier League clubs
About this episode
The episode discusses LIV Golf's future, its impact on the PGA Tour, and the need for more female leadership in sports.
After a week dominated by speculation about LIV Golf’s future, amid a swirl of rumour about PIF’s continued financial support, James Emmett and David Cushnan attempt to unpick what’s happening and why. Leaning on the conversation with R&A CEO Mark Darbon this week, they consider what the impact and legacy of LIV Golf is, as the PGA Tour, now stewarded by Brian Rolapp, proposes changes to its structure. Outside golf, news of layoffs at Snap and Meta prompts a reflection on the relationship between sport and big tech. And there’s a call - and some suggestions - for more female leadership in the Premier League, as trailblazer Karren Brady steps down from her position as Vice Chair of West Ham United. ---------- The first speakers have been announced for Leaders Week London, taking place on Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th October at Stamford Bridge - for more information and to secure your place, visit leadersinsport.com/leadersweek.
