Summary
After a weekend that belonged to the Nice Guys with Max Homa and Rory McIlroy winning around the globe, Shane has PGA Tour player turned commentator, James Nitties, on to discuss the golf villain. With LIV vs. the PGA Tour taking over the golfing stratosphere over the last year, are all the villains now grouped together, and if so, is that good for the sport? After that, the two talk short spurts of domination in the current state of golf before diving into James' T-4 introduction to the Phoenix Open back in 2009 as we sit a few days away from the craziest golf event of the year.
Make sure you give James a follow on Twitter at @jamesnitties23...a big thanks to the mustache'd one for his time!
