The John Deere Classic is canceled. Does anybody care? Anyone? We discuss the tour returning and why so quickly, pre-round routines, and if we could beat the 19th century’s best golfers. Then we’re joined by USGA Chief Brand Officer Craig Annis (75:07) to breakdown rescheduling the U.S. Open, changes to the live viewing experience, fans onsite, and more!
