On Episode 139 of the Pull Hook Golf podcast, host Matt Cook and Buttsy return with exciting updates, including Matt becoming an ambassador for Vice Golf (Promo Code: MattCook). They discuss the BMW PGA Championship, LIV Golf's team dynamics, and Phil Mickelson's future. A new TOUR Insider is announced; Brent Grant joins Pull Hook Golf. He shares insights from his golf journey and the PGA Tour, offering thoughts on the President's Cup and players like Si Woo Kim. The guys analyze the US team's strengths and spotlight players such as Sam Burns. They also dive into golf content creation on YouTube and preview upcoming tournaments.
Key Points:
- The U.S. team, led by Jim Furyk, is expected to win the President's Cup, but it could be a closer contest than anticipated, especially if some key players falter.
- Sam Burns, Brian Harman, and Max Homa are seen as potential liabilities for the U.S. team, which could make the international team more competitive.
- The PGA Tour's current approach to promotion and media coverage is criticized for being too corporate and failing to effectively market the personalities and stories of players outside the top tier.
