Episode Notes

Leigh Steinberg is a superstar sports agent having represented more NFL Draft Number 1 picks than anyone in NFL history. His list of clients is a Who's Who of sports legend, and he's seen it all in pro sports and negotiated every kind of deal imaginable. Steinberg joins me for Episode 2 of The PGAPappas Podcast with some great insight into the how's and why's of the recently announced merger between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and PIF (Public Investment Fund) that owns LIV Golf. Steinberg and I talk about who the winners and losers are in the deal; what mistakes PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan has made leading up to the merger and what he can still do to right the ship; sportswashing; and what must done to bring disgruntled and angry players and fans on board.
