Nelly Korda has won the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. Somehow, someway, that's not the story of the LPGA's season opener. Meg and Matthew discuss Nelly's winless streak ending, and spend plenty of time talking about what makes an "optimal competitive environment", Lake Nona and its "prestige shape", and all other sorts of nonsense that made up a weekend to forget. On the back half of the episode, they answer a variety of listener questions about the new season, their favorite swings, and much more.
