Would you bet a few thousand dollars that you could sink an eight-foot putt?

Gamblers is about the people who did.

From the Ringer Podcast Network, listen to Gamblers Season 2 on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

My own face is no longer a handsome one, if indeed it ever was.

But set aside your grievances, if not for the sake of the crown,

and for the sake of this old man who loves you all so dearly.
