About this listen
This episode of The Draw recaps a busy week across all golf tours. On the LPGA Tour, world No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul won the Honda LPGA Thailand for her first victory in her home country. Host Nathan Rarick praises the expanded live Golf Channel coverage and early season wins by Thitikul and Nelly Korda that we actually got to witness. The women are teeing off at the HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore this week, with defending winner Lydia Ko and most of the top 25 players in the world in the field.
On the PGA Tour, Jacob Bridgeman won the Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club, holding off Rory McIlroy and Kurt Kitayama to earn $4 million and 700 FedExCup points. Then, he withdrew from the Cognizant Classic this coming week.
On the DP World Tour, 22-year-old South African Casey Jarvis earned his first win at the Magical Kenya Open, closing with an eagle and birdie after weather delays. Attention now turns to the Investec South African Open at Stellenbosch Golf Club this week.
Lastly, Nathan notes the latest athlete joining WTGL, Michelle Wie West, and discusses the growth of TGL/WTGL.
