Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 459 - 2024: THE YEAR OF SCHEFFLER & CONFUSION w/ Arron Oberholser
We're joined by Golf Channel's Arron Oberholser to look back at a wild 2024 season on the PGA Tour, starting with the dominant year for Scottie Scheffler and whether it's blasphemy to compare it to one of Tiger's great years.
We also discuss the contrasting personalities and golfing styles of Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler, the current state of the PGA Tour, the issue of player salaries, and the overvaluation of product delivery in professional sports.
We wrap it up with a look at the changing landscape of sports consumption, particularly golf, and the potential of players like Bryson DeChambeau to bridge the gap between professional golf and the general public.
