Johnson Wagner was the media star at The Players for his segments on Golf Channel’s “Live From”—in which he fired golf balls into the hill on Thursday night to mimic Rory McIlroy’s water ball. The three-time PGA Tour winner joined us to talk about his transition into media, where his dream live segment would come from for The Masters and he tells the story of which elite player turned him down for a video last year. The boys also break down Peter Malnati’s win and tell their own stories of how nice of a guy Malnati is. And as Cameron Young fans, we set a new over/under on his total career wins.

We recap a fantastic Sunday at The Players Championship, where CP was rolling on the ground for Wyndham Clark (we explain). Keith Stewart, our new betting partner and CEO of Read The Line, was also at TPC Sawgrass, and he gives us his biggest takeaways for bettors ahead of the Valspar and the upcoming Masters. Plus, Brian Anderson of TNT Sports, joins us to not only chat March Madness but also his times covering golf, which includes The Match with Tiger, Phil, Peyton and Brady. He’s got some great stories from those events … including working with Charles Barkley (and playing golf with him).
