Summary

Andy Johnson is joined by Fried Egg Golf's Joseph LaMagna to discuss the PGA Tour's hire of Brian Rolapp as its first ever CEO. The two look toward the future of the Tour and professional golf as a whole, wondering what Rolapp will bring to the sport after a career in NFL leadership. From there, Andy questions Joseph's about his ranking of U.S. Open venues featured in his last column on TheFriedEgg.com. To close out their conversation, Andy and Joseph list five players that need a strong showing at Royal Portrush in order to not have a lost season of majors.
