The news has reignited calls for charter flights in the league in light of security concerns.Then after the break, El and Steph head to the links, where the U.S. Senate is teeing off on the recently announced bombshell PGA Tour and LIV Golf merger. Given the many business and international relations implications, the Senate launched an investigation yesterday, and our hosts are breaking down all the deets.Are you still missing the gear you need to soak up every ounce of summer fun? Our sponsor, SportChek, has you (and this episode!) covered.
