On this episode of The Dan Evans Show, presented by Sports Illustrated, Dan sits down with Florida standout Jack Turner â one of the most clutch young players in college golf â for a conversation about pressure, confidence, and what the road to the PGA Tour really looks like now. Jack opens up about why college golf is starting to feel more like a job, how PGA Tour University is changing the mindset of top players, and what it takes to keep loving the game while your future starts riding on every result.
They also get into Jackâs move from New England to Florida in eighth grade, the development of his game at Montverde, what made Florida the right fit, and how early the recruiting process really starts for elite players. From there, the conversation goes deeper into the moments that shaped him: the wasp sting that wrecked his first college start, the mindset shift that helped him bounce back, the course-record 56, and the unforgettable 29-hole playoff against his own roommate.
Itâs an honest look at elite college golf from the inside â not just the scores and results, but the pressure, team dynamics, mental game, and pro ambitions that come with trying to make it at the highest level.

Dan Evans takes listeners inside a side of PGA Tour week that most golf fans never get to see.
After getting a special invite into the Arnold Palmer Invitational pro-am through Mastercard, Dan and the crew break down how the player-selection draft actually works, which stars were already off the board, why Rory McIlroy being available was such a surprise, and how the group ultimately ended up playing Bay Hill with Viktor Hovland.
The episode also gets into what it feels like to step into that world for the first time: Danâs first trip to Bay Hill, his first PGA Tour pro-am, the 7:10 a.m. tee time that came with getting Hovland, and the pressure of showing up on-site before sunrise for one of the most iconic weeks in golf.
From the weirdness of pro-am pace to the reality that players are still treating it like a final practice round before the tournament starts, this is a true behind-the-scenes golf story with access, nerves, and a look at how tournament week really works.

They also get into one of the most talked-about inside details of the week: how Genesis treats caddies at Riviera, and why that matters more than fans realize.
Plus: Tedâs personal journey from Ethiopia to Kenya to Indiana, how he unexpectedly found his way into the auto world, the leadership principle âhow we win matters,â what Genesis learned from scaling fast, and how Hyundai Motor Group innovation feeds into whatâs coming next.

Danâs back from Riviera (Genesis Invitational) with the kind of insider texture you donât get from a broadcast recap â hospitality, media access, and the little âonly at Rivâ details that show how premium Tour weeks actually work.
Tommy Fleetwood goes sponsor-less⊠then casually pops up in Augusta/Masters gear (and even borrows a sweatshirt from Jason Day). Is it a negotiation play, a brand reset, or something bigger? From there, the crew digs into the real money and leverage behind apparel deals (and why some numbers never get said out loud), Tigerâs latest âdoor still openâ signals, Scottieâs rain-delay mindset, and two moment-heavy highlights: Max Greysermanâs ace and Neil Shipleyâs first-ever TGL hole-in-one.
