It's Not A Merger // Tyler Brown

Straight Down the Middle'ish

It's our first episode back after the the PGA TOUR shocked the world and announced they will be taking on outside capital from the Saudi Public Investment Fund. There's a lot to unpack here, and we've brought in our good friend, Tyler Brown, to help shed light on where this is all heading.
After a sparkling collegiate career at the University of Florida, Tyler Brown also tried his hand at professional golf before turning to the corporate world. Tyler brings a unique perspective on the business side of golf, and how he thinks it's all going to shake out.
They called it a merger, but it feels like something completely different, and there's a lot of unanswered questions looming around the future of the PGA TOUR, LIV Golf and the concept of team golf.
Keep it down the middle-ish.
