Do golfers need to be jacked? | Full Swing documentary | PGA vs LIV

from 50% Facts · host Jim McDonald

The Netflix documentary series “Full Swing” takes a look at the struggles players go through to end up in the money on the PGA tour, and a new alternative format where everyone gets paid regardless of performance. There was a time when golfers just played golf to prepare to compete at golf. That time has passed. Now, most players are in great shape and are always looking for an edge. That edge is important because it’s difficult to make big money…and keep making it…for most players on the PGA Tour. The LIV Tour, launched by the official wealth fund of Saudi Arabia, has offered a different competitive field and compensation structure for the players who are invited and decide to join. They, however, face questions about whether they will be blackballed from future PGA events, and face moral dilemmas arising from the problematic, and sometimes horrifying, actions of the Saudi Royal Family.

Tales From The Rabbit Hole Mick West Tales from the Rabbit Hole is an interview-style podcast focusing on people whose lives have been affected by the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap.
