In From The Gallery, we debate the market value of Tiger's Scotty putter, and, if our lives were on the line, which one pro we'd pick to make birdie for us!!! Yo...

It's an OG show as we take several From The Galleries and get hyped for The PLAYERS. We weigh in on the new PLAYERS trophy and theme song, on Tiger's new putting coach, on Jason Day's response to trolling, and on hardo golf twitter. In FTG we debate using beat up Pro V1s vs brand new crap balls and how to handle a partner who's terrified of the back nine (which is apparently a real thing)!!! You c...

NBC lead analyst, major champion, and 2008 U.S. Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger joins the show for the first time (46:45). In a very honest chat, Zinger discusses his true thoughts on Rory's closing struggles, what it's really like taking Johnny Miller's seat in the booth, what it's like being paired with Tiger Woods, and what type of carnage he's hoping for at The PLAYERS Championship. Before Zing...

Pressing questions right out of the gate. What's the latest word on Tiger's “neck injury”? Did the USGA really just “upon further review” themselves on JT?

Last but not least, From The Gallery delivers more hypotheticals... You can find every episode of this sho...
