Fringe Coverage - LPGA Golf Podcast

The wait is over - the first major of the season is finally here! But before previewing the Chevron Championship, the guys have some catching up to do. Tom shares about his family trip to the Aramco Championship in Las Vegas, and rants about how little attention Sin City's golf event received at the local sportsbooks. Marc  recaps Hannah Green's playoff win at the JM Eagle LA Championship (her fourth win of the year!).
Then the guys turn their attention to the first major test of the year, the Chevron Championship. Marc provides a brief tournament history, the guys question the tournament's decision to continue the "Poppie's Pond" tradition, and then highlight some of the most intriguing storylines and subplots they hope to see play out in Houston. Will Jeeno or Charley finally win a major? Will Nelly and Hyo Joo lock horns again? Will Hannah win again? Enjoy!

The boys are joined by LPGA winner, Olympian and Solheim Cup stalwart Madelene Sagstrom for a wide-ranging interview.

She also breaks down how the LPGA has evolved during her 10-year career, the impact NIL is having on the newest wave of professional golfers and why the Wednesday pro-am is so important. She also provides some incredible perspective reflecting on how she has learned to believe in herself and have empathy for others over the past five years since she publicly shared about her own personal trauma.
