It's the End of LIV Golf as We Knew It (and Trump Feels Fine)
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of LIV Golf's impact on the PGA Tour and the broader sports landscape, featuring insights from journalist Alan Shipnuck.

Journalist Alan Shipnuck explains what insiders are texting about but won't say out loud: that golfers are the most overpaid athletes on Earth, that peacetime is suddenly more complicated for the PGA Tour... and that sportswashing is insidious because it works. • Read "LIV and Let Die" by Alan Shipnuck • Previously on PTFO: Phil Mickelson, the Pipeline and Trump's (Alleged) 14-Inch Pipe Hosted on Acast.
