EPISODE 120- GIPPER FINAU

Wednesday, January 7, 2026 • Duration 01:09:05

This episode was a fun one as we sat down with Gipper Finau, brother of PGA Tour star Tony Finau, for a wide-ranging conversation that hits on golf, family, grit, and what’s next. Gipper shared some great stories from back in the day, including how walking down a path he probably shouldn’t have been on is actually what led to his introduction to the game of golf. We talked about the journey since then and how golf became a powerful force in his life. We also dove into the incredible work being done through the Gipper Finau Foundation, the impact it’s having, and what Gipper sees for the future. On top of that, Gipper teased future plans involving Pro Mastery Classes for content creators, aimed at helping others grow, build, and succeed in the golf content space. The guys also chopped it up about Lombardi Putters — why they’re so good, why they’re affordable, and why they’ve become a favorite. Gipper even shared some stories about time spent with Uncle Paulie down in New Orleans and how that relationship came together. Of course, we couldn’t have Gipper on without talking about Tony’s success on the PGA Tour, including the wild moment at Augusta when Tony made an ace during the Par 3 Contest, dislocated his ankle, popped it back into place, and then went out leading after Day One. Unreal. And don’t skip the spitfire questions at the end — including the big one: 👉 Who talks more smack… Tony or Gipper? You’ll have to tune in to find out.
