Fore Play

Phil joins LIV. Kevin Na announces his resignation from the PGA Tour. We discuss — should the Tour copy LIV Golf’s team concept? Are players really to blame for “taking the money”? What will happen next? What will the majors do? Will the Tour enact lifetime bans?

DJ joins LIV Golf. The list is out. We’re joined by Rachel Heck (2021 NCAA individual champion & 2022 NCAA team champion) (01:31:28) and Taylor Montgomery (KFT grinder and PGA Tour bubble boy) (01:57:38). We take from the galleries. We BS. It’s classic us.

Nadeshot (00:42:53) — founder of the Esports team 100 Thieves, builder of a gaming and streaming empire, huge golfer, and a Fore Play fan — joins the show. We discuss the early days of competitive gaming, building a success story despite his parents not understanding, golf’s similarities to gaming, significant others packing suitcases for you, and much, much more. In news, Sam Burns takes down Scottie Scheffler in a playoff, LIV Golf has yet to announce the field for its upcoming event, and the U.S. Women’s Open descends upon Pine Needles in Southern Pines, North Carolina.

Two guests. A weird start to the show. We’ve got NBA forward, former Zag, and huge golfer Corey Kispert (00:15:00) talking everything about NBA life and golf as a 6 foot 6 fella. Brian Urlacher (01:21:07) discusses a hall of fame football career and life after (aka playing golf).

JT wins. Mito crumbles. Tiger WDs. The year’s second major went out with a BANG and we sit down immediately for our first-ever lobby podcast to react to it all.

Alan Shipnuck (01:23:22). TaylorMade Adrian (00:25:07). Tommy Fleetwood makes an appearance. Kevin Kisner says a few words. It’s a Jam-packed show live from the PGA Championship delving deep into Phil Mickelson, players’ club choices this week (including Tiger), stories about Tiger’s irons from Tommy Fleetwood, course expectations, and our mischievous week on-site.

Iconic day in our history — Tiger Woods strolled the Southern Hills fairways with the crew. The dap and the “what’s up my brother” heard ‘round the world. We walked and talked with the GOAT and stamped our presence on the greatest day in Fore Play history. Then we’re joined by 4-time Tour winner Max Homa (01:06:36) and Southern Hills Director of Golf, Cary Cozby (01:36:46), who caddied for Tiger during a scouting trip a few weeks back. Major show for PGA Championship major week.

The Tour denies players exemptions to play in the first LIV Golf event. Rangers losses turn Frankie on. Scheffler bedazzles in practice rounds at Southern Hills. Rory is trending. Tom Brady gets an enormous broadcasting contract. We discuss the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen.

Massive Barstool inter-office drama has people on edge. Max Homa wins. Islanders fire head coach Barry Trotz. Saudi league chatter heats up. Phil’s got some huge decisions to make. What are the best golf tips we’ve received and used?

Are we completely insignificant? Maybe. Will the sun swallow all the planets making us fully meaningless? Maybe. But then we’re joined by young MMA star and super confident Ian “The Future” Garry (01:22:47), who gives a completely different perspective. It’s a hell of a show, contemplating: Is confidence everything? Is Frankie fixed? Is Phil off the hook? How will the Tour respond? Some From The Galleries and much more.

Kiz (00:47:00) joins the show for the millionth time. Catching up on — playing with Tiger at the Masters, pledging allegiance to the Tour, launch of the Ain’t No Hobby gear, outdriving Lurch, trying to win majors, and much more. Before Kiz joins, Frankie discusses the beginning of Fixing Frankie in Alabama, Trent details Breaking 90 with Tillery, and @UseGolfFACTS is back after Tiger scouts Southern Hills.

Nate Bargatze (06:22), one of the funniest comedians in the world, joins Frankie, Trent & Riggs for the full show. We’re live from Old Hickory in Nashville and we talk — performing in front of one person, wanting to be better at golf, the pressures of filming a comedy special, minds wandering mid-performance, our dads, and much more.

Live from Nashville, Frankie, Trent & Riggs discuss New Orleans, a Frankie live radio hit misstep, LIV Golf’s newest announcements, Elon buying Twitter, celebrating an opponent’s high five while in contention at the Masters, and Brandon Walker’s golf swings (at night).

For the first time… Ever? Frankie and Trent are co-hosting Fore Play and there is a ton to get to. The boys recap Frankie getting dapped up by Chris Berman of all people, the two of them playing with Sean Payton at the Zurich Classic, eating what Trent has called the best food in America, hugging the Masters champ Scottie Scheffler, and tons more.

It’s Zurich Classic week. We have history here. Jordan Spieth wins somehow after an abysmal putting week. We discuss golf’s Golden Child, what makes him so riveting, and if he’s “back.” Trent, Frankie, Mintzy, Hannah, and more are at the Zurich Classic this week as the Barstool Sportsbook is the event’s official gaming partner. What teams do we like? Do we not like? Who’s not getting the respect they deserve? What does the crew have on tap in NOLA?

NFL insider and scoop specialist Ian Rapoport (01:17:24) joins the show. We discuss breaking news in between golf shots, dipping into other sports’ news (aka Tiger Woods playing the Masters), and scoop wars. In talking points, Riggs, Frankie, Trent and Lurch react to the reported list of golfers joining the Saudi league, Greg Norman’s most recent comments on it, Bryson undergoing surgery, LaCava’s interview about Tiger’s golf prospects, and more.

Scottie Scheffler wins the Masters after crying Sunday morning over the anxiety of rising to the moment. We discuss our friend’s impressive triumph, Tiger’s gutsy week, Rory’s thrilling finish, Morikawa matching it, Smith collapsing, the Hatton and Horschel pairing, Faldo’s spoiler, and everything else from the 86th Masters.

It’s here. The Masters is beginning. Frankie and Riggs spent Wednesday at Augusta National. We detail the entire experience and prepare for the start of the most hyped Masters in recent memory. Also, Adrian Rietveld, TaylorMade's Golf Senior Tour Manager, joins us to talk about working with and tweaking the clubs of guys like Dustin Johnson, Rory, Morikawa, Tommy Fleetwood, Scottie Scheffler, and more for the Masters.

Tiger Woods has stolen the spotlight. We breakdown his statement, his look, and his FootJoy shoes. We’ve also got changes to Augusta’s 11th, 15th and 18th holes. Several guys flying under the radar. Riggs and Frankie are in Augusta. It’s Masters Week!

Scottie Scheffler, the no. 1 ranked golfer on earth, joins the show for an hour (00:44:03). He tells of mid-match comments from Kiz, grinding to improve his putting, battling to keep a healthy diet when all he desires is a delicious one, and his scramble reservations due to Riggs’ treasonous Ryder Cup antics. Before Scottie, we breakdown Tiger jet tracking mania and us considering a last-second trip to the Masters.
