About this episode
Golf went international this week, plus new music from Kanye, golf influencer, golfer, style icon, and podcaster Bradford Wilson, and LET professional Ana Belac. All hosted by Alex Lauzon and Michael Russell. The Mexico Open was a sleepy affair in terms of names, but Alex had it right and picked his first winner of 2024 (1:55). The LPGA kicked off their Asian swing, with a Thai sensation returning to the winner's circle (4:58). LIV Golf is making waves for getting Anthony Kim, and throwing mad money towards a PGA TOUR loyalist (6:19). On our YouTube channel you can see more from our trip to the PGA Show, including a quick chat with a 2-time World Series Champion, Johnny Damon (10:32). The PGA TOUR comes to Florida and PGA National for the Cognizant Classic, where Rory McIlroy headlines the field (11:42). Alex is also in Florida, but not for the PGA TOUR. Still, he'll be playing some golf under the lights and wonders how he'll do (14:04). In Tuned In, Alex is checking out Kanye's new album (14:49), Michael watches the Oscar nominated "The Holdovers" (17:19), and breaking news about Ryan Gosling at The Oscars (19:07). Bradford Wilson is an actor, golfer, influencer, and podcaster, and chats with Alex from the PGA Show floor about his podcast, Group Golf Therapy, playing golf in Southern California, and his favorite smells on the course (19:50). Ana Belac is a Scandinavian LET golfer, who recently won a national championship at Duke. Ana chats with Alex from the PGA Show about learning to play in a country with 10 courses, how she got to Duke, and what it was like coming to America for college (41:12). As we #AlwaysEndWithFood, Alex is excitedly enjoying a childhood favorite, Del's Lemonade, as they come to Texas, and Michael shares his favorite childhood treat (58:17). Support our friends!
