PGA Tour Takes Control as LIV Faces an Uncertain Future — Damon Hack

About this episode

Damon Hack discusses the PGA Tour's regained control over professional golf amidst the challenges posed by LIV Golf.

The balance of power in professional golf has shifted—and Damon Hack explains why the PGA Tour is now back in control. In this episode, Trey Wingo sits down with Damon Hack to break down how the PGA Tour regained its footing during one of the most chaotic stretches in modern golf. With leadership changes led by Brian Rolapp and dominant performances from stars like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, the Tour has re-established itself as the center of the sport. At the same time, uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf—including funding questions, player movement, and long-term viability—has created a widening gap between the two leagues. Hack outlines why that instability is contributing to the PGA Tour’s advantage, and which players still factor into what comes next. This is a clear, insight-driven look at where professional golf stands today—and why the PGA Tour is once again setting the direction of the game. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
