Dylan Dethier calls up the greatest living golf writer, Michael Bamberger, to chew on one deceptively simple question: what's really wrong with golf right now? Bamberger pushes back on \"grow the game\" and \"shrink the game\" as empty corporate framing, connects the dots from Jon Rahm's LIV move to $80 parking at a TGL match, and digs into the \"broification\" of the game — a culture that increasingly rewards looking the part over thinking for yourself. He also makes the case for why the PGA Tour's obsession with stats is crowding out the human story.
