In this interview on Trey Wingo Golf, longtime Golf Channel lead host Rich Lerner joins Trey Wingo for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about where professional golf is headed and why the PGA Tour is on the verge of meaningful change. Lerner explains why the Tour is likely to prioritize bigger U.S. markets like Chicago, New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, why schedule clarity and “scarcity” matter for the product, and why golf has to protect a real pathway for rising players instead of becoming a closed shop built on sponsor exemptions.

They also go deep on golf history and greatness, including Lerner’s framework for Tiger Woods vs. Jack Nicklaus and what truly separates dominance from longevity. Lerner lays out why Tiger’s peak might be the highest level the sport has ever seen, how Scottie Scheffler stacks up statistically against Tiger’s most dominant stretches, and why the conversation should be grounded in win rates and margins, not just vibes. It’s a data-backed look at what “greatness” actually means in golf.

Finally, the episode hits the biggest modern tension point: the uncertainty around the PGA Tour, private investment, and LIV Golf. Lerner shares why players like Brooks Koepka could want back in, what the Tour has to solve to create better fields and clearer stakes, and why cuts, consequences, and opportunity are still the heartbeat of the sport. If you care about what comes next for pro golf, this is the context you’ve been missing.
