About this listen

 The Normal Sport Show is our attempt to bring about some order to the weirdest sport in the world. A game in which crocodiles traipse the playing field on a semi-regular basis. A game in which if you don’t keep your own statistics (and everyone else’s) correctly, you’re ejected from the event. A game in which pool noodles are used as practice props, and nobody blinks an eye.

We take a few of these oddities and try to juxtapose them with the beauty of the game to create a world that will hopefully make you chuckle but that may also make you more thoughtful.

    Ranking all the LIV scenarios by likelihood - Episode #28
    May 7 2026
    What actually happens next with LIV Golf?

    This week, Kyle Porter is joined by golf reporter Gabby Herzig for one of the most fascinating golf-business conversations of the year.

    They rank the likelihood of nearly every possible LIV scenario imaginable, including:
    • Outside investors saving LIV
    • Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau leaving
    • LIV becoming a “zombie league”
    • Netflix, Amazon, or Apple buying LIV
    • The PGA Tour taking Saudi money
    • Bryson becoming a full-time YouTube golfer
    • And whether LIV even survives past 2027
    Plus:
    • Why Rory McIlroy accidentally ended up in The Devil Wears Prada 2
    • Inside reporting stories from the LIV chaos after Augusta
    • What it’s really like covering golf at the center of geopolitics and billion-dollar negotiations
    This is one of the deepest and most honest conversations yet about where professional golf is actually headed.

    LIV loses funding and other stories we're following this week – Episode #26
    Apr 30 2026
    There’s “nothing going on” in golf right now…
    …except total chaos.

    Kyle Porter and Hayden Martin break down one of the wildest news cycles in recent golf history—from the future of LIV Golf to the PGA Tour’s ongoing identity crisis, and why the current schedule just isn’t working. Plus:
    • Why LIV losing funding changes everything (or maybe nothing)
    • What happens next for stars like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm
    • The PGA Tour’s biggest problem right now
    • Why major season still feels… off
    • And a deep dive on rising amateur star Jackson Koivun
    It’s messy. It’s complicated. And it’s probably just getting started.
