About this listen

On August 29th, 2025, we break down Michelle Wie West's shocking vision disclosure, a new major pathway from Asia, Nelly Korda's putter change, and the secrets behind Jon Rahm's powerful swing.


MICHELLE WIE WEST'S REVELATION
  • Michelle Wie West reveals her lifelong battle with severe myopia, disclosing she is "nearly legally blind." We discuss how a switch to contacts at age nine saved her career and her sharp analysis of the LPGA's incredible depth.
  • "There's no way I would be able to play at the level that I could play with glasses."
  • Wie West has battled a "negative eight" prescription since she was just seven years old.


A NEW PATH TO THE MAJORS
  • Augusta National and The R&A have created a new pathway to golf's biggest events. The winners of the Japan Open and Hong Kong Open will now earn coveted invitations to The Masters and The Open Championship.
  • Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley said the move is about "rewarding top talent" from around the globe.
  • The joint initiative aims to significantly strengthen the sport's growth and professional pathways throughout Asia.
