The Normal Sport Show is our attempt to bring about some order to the weirdest sport in the world. A game in which crocodiles traipse the playing field on a semi-regular basis. A game in which if you don’t keep your own statistics (and everyone else’s) correctly, you’re ejected from the event. A game in which pool noodles are used as practice props, and nobody blinks an eye.We take a few of these ... more

Few ads, no fancy intro or outro music, just chock full of great golf insights and... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The PGA Tour's Fascinating Future (Ep. 41)
Q: What are the biggest unanswered questions right now?
Injury exemptions and career-achievement exemptions, exact pathways from college to professional tracks, how many events will exist in each track, and how the corn fairy to championship progression works within the new framework.
The PGA Tour's Fascinating Future (Ep. 41)
Q: How might the fall European swing affect players' schedules and markets?
It could create a fall calendar with high-profile venues like St. Andrews, boosting sponsorship and television interest, while potentially tapping untapped markets; but it depends on securing prime venues and aligning with U.S. and European tours.
The PGA Tour's Fascinating Future (Ep. 41)
Q: What are your three favorite parts of the new PGA Tour proposal?
The rotating Tour Championship with match play, the clear separation of championship and challenger tracks, and the potential for a European fall swing that could energize the DP World Tour and co-sanctioned events, along with stronger scheduling clarity for players.
Five stories: NCAA talk, aggregate major leaders and what it means to be ... average (Episode No. 33)
Q: How do the hosts view the match-play format vs stroke-play in determining a champion?
They believe match-play adds drama and unpredictability that tv audiences enjoy, and suggest the sport could benefit from using more match-play moments to keep the narrative engaging.
Five stories: NCAA talk, aggregate major leaders and what it means to be ... average (Episode No. 33)
Q: What makes Eastern Michigan's NCAA journey notable this year?
EMU climbed from near the bottom to regional status due to aggressive recruiting, a strong NIL-backed program, and a top coaching staff, culminating in surprising performances and a celebrated regional run.
