NLU Podcast, Episode 811: Improving the Product

This week on the recap pod we open with a recap of the better-than-expected-Zurich Classic where Rory and Shane Lowry win in a playoff. Then we call in KVV for a segment we've been workshopping all week in conjunction with the NFL draft: comparing pro golfers and pro quarterbacks and vice versa (24:00). From there we pivot to LIV Adelaide (54:00) as well as the LPGA at Wilshire, Rory's potential return to the PGA Tour policy board, tour players receiving equity, and more.
