Ari Emanuel celebrated a $13 billion deal by playing Augusta National, then skipping lunch to fly home and sign Judd Apatow the same day. Here's how much the man who inspired Ari Gold on Entourage loves golf: He’s frustrated right now because his book tour has kept him off the course for weeks. On this episode, Emanuel joins host Tom Coyne to unpack his bestseller Roll the Calls, explain why golf is the one place his temper never follows him, and regale us with stories from rounds with Mark Wahlberg and Larry David. He also gets into the call from Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau that nearly put him in the LIV Golf business. David’s scouting report on one of Hollywood's most powerful people says it best: He hits it far, but he’ll never stop tinkering.
