In this special bonus edition of Next on the Tee, we’re mixing things up. My good friend Tom Patri kicks things off as we dive into some of the hottest topics in golf right now. We cover USGA President Fred Perpall doubling down on the golf ball rollback—regardless of the PGA Tour’s stance—and debate what it means for the future of the game. We talk about the big-name players who missed out on this year’s Tour Championship, the sponsor exemptions that helped Rickie Fowler get in, Tommy Fleetwood’s quest to break through, and JJ Spaun’s eyebrow-raising quote.

Then we’re joined by Metropolitan PGA Section legend and Sirius/XM PGA Tour Radio’s On Course co-host, Frank Darby. With decades of experience setting up courses like Bethpage Black for major tournaments, leading in the Met Section, and coaching Keegan Bradley during his St. John’s days, Frank offers unmatched insight alongside Tom—who also cut his teeth in the Met Section and has played the course numerous times. Together, we break down Bethpage Black, Ryder Cup implications, and what might be going through Keegan’s mind. It’s an insider’s look at two legends’ home turf, and you won’t want to miss it.
