This is The Loop, a refreshing mix of everything you love to talk about around golf, with the only rule that you don’t take yourself or the game too seriously. Each week hosts Christopher Powers, Alex Myers, and Steve Hennessey, along with special guests from across the sports and entertainment worlds, will touch on what’s going in the game, who they’re putting money on, and whatever else comes up along the way.
Patrick Koenig, now the world-record holder for most 18-hole golf courses played in a year, joins us to discuss his epic journey. The boys also break down a wild playoff on the LPGA Tour, a harsh suspension for two aspiring tour pros and the incredible story of a Georgia Tech freshman quarterback joining the golf team to play at Cypress Point. Plus, CP reveals the reason why he’s started to break 80 again.
Three-time NBA All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns joins us this week and all he wants to talk about is his love of golf. The 7-foot center joined us from his house, where he has the same golf simulator as Tiger Woods, his sports hero. Plus, we recap Collin Morikawa’s drought-ending win and rank our five favorite NBA players on the eve of the new season.
The boys are joined by two great guests in 2022 World Long Drive champ Martin Borgmeier and PGA Tour pro Dylan Wu on this week’s episode. Borgmeier previewed the World Long Drive Championship in Atlanta, which begins this week, while Wu came on to discuss his thoughts on the “FedEx Cup Fall,” which has become a controversial topic. Plus, Alex, Steve and CP break down Tom Kim’s title defense in Las Vegas, Lexi Thompson’s impressive first start against the men and Brooks Koepka’s domination in Saudi Arabia.
Jimmy Rollins is this week’s guest, and he couldn’t stop talking about his new Wilson Staff irons. Now an analyst at TBS, the former Philadelphia Phillies shortstop also broke down the MLB Playoffs and revealed his potential in at Augusta National. Plus, Alex, Steve and CP discuss Lexi Thompson’s chances of making the cut at the Shriners and a bogus ruling that cost a pro his PGA Tour card.
Six-time PGA Tour winner Hunter Mahan joins us to break down the American squad’s crushing loss in Rome. A three-time Ryder Cupper himself, Mahan spoke on what he thought the U.S. team was lacking, and what they need to do to win on European soil going forward. Plus, Alex, Steve and CP discuss #HatGate and debate whether or not players should be paid to play in the Ryder Cup.
Former Ryder Cupper Jim Gallagher Jr., now a Golf Channel analyst, joins the podcast to break down this year’s event in Rome, where he’ll be on the Live From set all week. He talks about taking down Seve, why he wants the U.S. to end the drought and what it takes to win a Ryder Cup on the road. Plus, the boys make their best bets for Marco Simone, and recap a thrilling Solheim Cup that ended in a tie.
Alex, Steve and CP are joined by one of the top amateur players in the world, Stewart Hagestad, who won his third U.S. Mid-Amateur at Sleepy Hollow last week. Plus, an inside look at Gil Hanse’s latest course renovation, and a recap of Sahith Theegala’s maiden win.
The boys discuss Xander Schauffele’s hilariously bad DraftKings promotional video, which he admittedly knew was going to be terrible when he was shooting it. Plus, CP returns to the range for the first time in a long time, and the boys break down their video game Mount Rushmores.
The boys continue their scorching hot run of guests with tour winner turned Netflix star Joel Dahmen, who joins the show to recap his season and update us on dad life. We also discuss the meteoric rise of Ludvig Aberg and his selection to the European Ryder Cup team. Plus, NFL Week 1 picks, as Alex looks to defend his 2022 against-the-spread title.
