Golf Portland 2.0-2022-1

[EP 039] 

The Golf Podcast | Live with Mike & Raf at LIV Golf Portland 2.0

Today we recap the first few days of the LIV Golf event in Portland, Oregon at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club.

We cover the overall experience of this event, including the unique team names and members of each team along with additional prize money. This event being a shotgun format is different than PGA Tour’s format, however it does provide an action packed afternoon for spectators. The fan zone has interactive games, food carts, live musicians and dj’s and really cool merchandise.

The press conference with Brooks Keopka, Pat Perez and Patrick Reed was entertaining to say the least, Rafael and Michael provide opinions on what was said including feedback on some of the hypocrisy happening in golf right now.

Stay tuned for more details on the LIV Golf event.
