About this episode
A seemingly obscure legal rule that would allow college athletes to profit from their name, image or likeness could change the complexion of amateur golf, what was once considered golf in its purest form. In reality, the game is already well removed from an era when Bobby Jones and Frances Ouimet both had to leave amateur golf behind for money they received tied to their accomplishments on the course. Now amateur golfers can receive free clubs, nominal prizes, and are supported well enough to travel and compete around the country. In this episode, Keely Levins examines what amateur golf used to signify, what it is now, and where it could be headed in the near future. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
