LIV’in On A Prayer! + Fitz Outduels Sheffler
The week after the Masters shifts the spotlight to Harbour Town — and a very different kind of test — where Matt Fitzpatrick outduels Scottie Scheffler on the first playoff hole.
This week on Tough Lies, Colin and Richard break down what happened on Sunday, why Harbour Town continues to expose even the best players, and how Pete Dye’s design philosophy reshaped the way the game is played.
The deeper dive conversation focuses on one of the biggest questions in professional golf right now: what happens next with LIV? With reports suggesting uncertainty around long-term funding, the guys dig into what it could mean for players, the Tour, and the future structure of the game.
Plus: a MindTRAK moment on why failure to prepare is the fastest path to being exposed — and a quick detour into Colin’s first experience with “Birdie Juice”… which may or may not have improved his on-course performance……
“Because the toughest lies in golf aren’t always on the course.”

What is Tough Lies ~ The Golfer's Podcast?
Tough Lies – The Golfer’s Podcast is where golf’s harder conversations finally get airtime.
Hosted by PGA Tour veteran Richard Zokol and marketing strategist Colin McDougall, Tough Lies goes beyond equipment launches and leaderboard chatter to explore the real issues shaping the modern game — from the mental side of competition and modern professional golf, to the narratives and assumptions shaping the game, questioned thoughtfully, critically, and constructively.
Each episode blends insider perspective with candid conversation, featuring stories from inside the ropes, lessons learned the hard way, and thoughtful takes on where the game is headed — and why.
This isn’t hot takes for clicks. It’s honest dialogue, grounded experience, and constructive debate — for golfers who love the game enough to question it.
If you’ve ever thought “someone should talk about this” while watching golf… this is that podcast.
