The Golf Podcast Presented by Golficity

This might be the most underrated golf trip on the East Coast—and we’re breaking down the exact itinerary (courses, stays, eats, and a wild off-course surprise) to prove it. In this episode of the golf podcast, we may have just found your next great golf trip — and it’s in a place you probably wouldn’t expect: the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We break down why OBX is a legit hidden gem for golfers, with an awesome mix of courses (coastal vibes, water views, wind, and totally different layouts from day to day), plus plenty to do off the course if you’re bringing family or non-golfers. We also share how easy it is to get there (drive from the Northeast or fly into Norfolk and make a quick hop down), and why fall is the sweet spot for conditions and pricing. We walk through our itinerary, including where we stayed at Kilmarlic Golf Club’s cottages, how we packed in 36-hole days with minimal driving, and the standout food stops like NC Coast Grill, JK’s steakhouse, and North Carolina barbecue. We also talk about one of the coolest non-golf experiences in the area: a wild horse tour in Corolla. If you’re looking for an underrated, easy-to-plan golf trip with big destination energy, this one belongs on your shortlist.   Listen to This Week's Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week's Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

Another major PGA TOUR star may be on the brink of joining LIV—and the ripple effects could reshape both leagues. In this week’s episode of The Golf Podcast we’ll break down the latest—and potentially most impactful—rumor in the ongoing PGA TOUR vs. LIV Golf saga this year. Reports indicate that another major PGA TOUR player may be in late-stage talks with LIV Golf, and the implications go far beyond a simple signing. We discuss how Si Woo Kim has become the center of these negotiations, why his possible move could lead to Kevin Na being stripped of his LIV captaincy, and what it would mean for the newly rebranded Becko East team heading into the 2026 season. We also dive into the speculation surrounding other big South Korean names like Sungjae Im and Tom Kim, what’s confirmed, what’s been debunked, and what still feels very much in play. From LIV’s push toward a more global team identity to the PGA TOUR’s potential reduced schedule, structural overhaul, and growing player frustration, we explore how these shifts may influence future defections. We also touch on the swirling rumors about Brooks Koepka’s contract, the PGA TOUR’s reaction to LIV’s momentum, and how looming OWGR changes could reshape both leagues. It’s a packed episode with breaking news, player reactions, and plenty of context to understand what this next wave of movement could mean for professional golf.   Listen to This Week's Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week's Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

The Skins Game is finally back after 17 years, but the reaction from fans is not what anyone expected. In this episode of The Golf Podcast, we break down the return of the Skins Game and ask the big question: was it really a flop, or just doomed by terrible marketing? We talk about why an event that looked great on paper—Keegan Bradley’s redemption, Panther National in the spotlight, and the Skins Game coming back after a 17-year hiatus—ended up flying completely under the radar for so many golf fans. We dig into the lack of promotion, the awkward Amazon Prime start time, thin social media chatter, and production criticisms, and use all of that to “read the tea leaves” on how many people actually watched. From there, we zoom out and ask whether fans are just over these hit-and-giggle style exhibitions and if huge purses have lost their impact in the LIV Golf vs. PGA Tour era. We compare the Skins Game to events like the Internet Invitational, talk about why life-changing money hits differently, and explore what a must-watch end-of-year event could look like—possibly even bringing LIV and PGA Tour players together. Finally, we share what we’d change, what worked, and what golf needs to do next to create an event fans genuinely care about.   Listen to This Week's Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week's Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

Is the PGA Tour about to overhaul its entire schedule — and are we ready for what that means for the future of pro golf? In this episode of the golf podcast we break down the biggest indication yet that major PGA Tour schedule changes may be coming as early as 2027 — including the possibility of shifting the entire season to start after the Super Bowl. That move could eliminate the Hawaii swing, impact events like Torrey Pines, and even signal the end of signature (elevated) events altogether. We dive into the revealing comments from Harris English at the RSM Classic, discuss how new PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp’s NFL background may be shaping this direction, and explore what these changes mean for players, sponsors, and the future of professional golf. We also look at how escalating prize purses may be pushing longtime sponsors away, why the Tour’s current model may be unsustainable, and how a condensed season could open up space for TGL, LIV Golf’s 72-hole pivot, and even potential crossover events fans have been begging for. If you’re curious where the PGA Tour, LIV Golf, and the wider golf ecosystem may be headed — and what it means for fans craving more of the best players competing together — this episode dives deep into the shifting landscape and the “writing on the wall” for pro golf’s next era.   Listen to This Week's Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week's Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.
