Golf, Giving, and the Global Spotlight: A Conversation with Wyndham's Mark Brazil

What do snakes, sandwiches, and the PGA Tour have in common? You'll find all three—and a whole lot more—in this week's episode of People, Politics and Pork. Greg Webb and Newell Clark sit down with Mark Brazil, tournament director of the Wyndham Championship, for a laid-back but insight-packed conversation about what it takes to run one of golf's most meaningful events. From navigating tournament exemptions to shining a spotlight on the Piedmont Triad, Brazel gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the final stop before the FedEx Cup playoffs. But this isn't just about golf—it's about community. Brazil opens up about the tournament's philanthropic efforts, including support for First Tee, local backpack programs, and disaster relief in Asheville. His passion for giving back is as strong as his love for the sport. By the end of this episode, you'll understand how a single tournament can boost an entire region's economy, unite local communities, and beam Carolina pride into over 1.8 billion homes worldwide. 🏌️‍♂️ Whether you're a golf fanatic or just here for the good stories, this one's for you. 🎧 Now streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartMedia, and all major platforms. 📩 Got thoughts or stories to share?
