Season 2026 · Episode 233

Tuesday, August 25, 2026 • Duration 56:40

How do we mere mortals properly judge those who have risen above us? Well, Mike Purkey (GOLF Magazine and Global Golf Post) has established himself as one of golf's most talented writers, so he has the credentials to compile such a list. The result is his terrific new book, "The Immortals of American Golf."

Yes, Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Jones are among the 18 selected, but join Mike to hear the stories of others who you might not have anticipated. One even transcends golf.

Also, we talk Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler and Wyndham Clark as the PGA Tour's Tour Championship gets underway at East Lake Club. Plus, we'll look at how the end of the PGA Tour will look very different starting in Golf.

S2026 Ep232: George Peper: Presenting "The Best Logos in Golf"

Season 2026 · Episode 232

Monday, August 17, 2026 • Duration 50:32

As the great golf writer, George Peper, notes early on in his newest effort: "Bottom line: logos have become the most talked about—and least explored—element of modern golf. Thus, this book."

And what a book it is.

"The Best Logos in Golf" is a visual and cultural exploration of the logos that have shaped the game of golf. And it's written by a man who knows the game like few others, as he was editor-in-chief of GOLF Magazine for 25 years, the current editor of LINKS Magazine, and the sole author of 21 books, three of which have been New York Times bestsellers.

Walk along with George as he explains the origins of the book, the criteria to make a great golf logo, and as he offers up compelling stories about some of the 100 logos that made the cut. It's a championship presentation, plus there's plenty about Scottie Scheffler, the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and an exciting U.S. Amateur at a club with its own classic logo.

All now, on "Musings on Golf."

S2026 Ep229: Notah Begay III: Honored with the Payne Stewart Award presented by Southern Company

Season 2026 · Episode 229

Tuesday, July 28, 2026 • Duration 52:17

He is the only full-blooded American Indian to ever play on the PGA TOUR, and he won four times, all within a span of nine months.

And while back injuries derailed the playing career of Notah Begay III, they hardly kept him from the much larger role he continues to play in the lives of so many young people on the golf course and far beyond.

All of that wonderful labor of love has led Notah, who played with Tiger Woods at Stanford University, to earning the treasured Payne Stewart Award presented by Southern Company.

Join Notah as we discuss the Award, his outstanding work at NBC Sports and Golf Channel, and what his Foundation continues to accomplish.

Plus, we look at the amazing victory by Jackson Koivun on Sunday at the PGA TOUR'S 3M Open.

Season 2026 · Episode 228

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 53:04

As we look back at Ryan Fox's victory at The Open here on "Musings on Golf," we encourage you to look ahead and purchase a terrific book, "Fairways and Greens: A Novel," by Rich Poggi.

"Foxy" wasted no time in sealing his first major title, while the storylines abounded last week, with the drama produced by Bryson DeChambeau and the ensuing reaction from Rory McIlroy. Scottie Scheffler getting a free drop for a ball he never found! And so close again for Sam Burns and Cameron Young.

And what about Doug Parker, who was once destined for PGA Tour stardom? Poggi nails it with the father-son dynamic Doug Parker's in this character-driven story of family, rediscovery, and second chances, all set against a game that has a way of revealing the truth about people when it matters most.

Season 2026 · Episode 227

Wednesday, July 15, 2026 • Duration 01:04:18

Many great baseball players have also found considerable success playing golf, but only Jim Kaat has a unique distinction in golf that goes far beyond anything that any other baseball player (or anyone) has ever accomplished.

Jim's 283 career wins earned him election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and he spent 22 seasons calling games for the New York Yankees and Minnesota Twins.

So many great stories from the southpaw, plus you'll hear from Rory McIlroy, and about Tommy Fleetwood, Arnold Palmer, Walter Hagen, and my late podcast partner, Bob Bubka, as we get set for the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.
