Drama Kings and Sizzling Runs
Diving into a weekend bursting with dramatics and excellence. The Royals are sizzling, and we'll check out late drama in a major, and hometown heroics in the Korn Ferry tour event here in KC with the Advent Health Championship tournament director Rick Amos as Harry Higgs steals the show. Also, NBA upsets, SKC woes, KC Current rolls on, Premier League dominance, and more. Let's go!
Home Time, Home Game, World Wide
One of the very first KC Profiles a few years back, the KU grad and Big 12 champion is now a seasoned pro, having played on golf tours around the world. We catch up with him as he enjoys a home game at the Advent Health Championship on The Korn Ferry tour, and resprise our chat as he started his professional journey.
A Journey of Management
With the Advent Health Championship at Blue Hills CC just a couple of weeks away we get the background story of the tournament director and longtime sports marketer, and the continuing evolution of the exciting pro golf event on the Korn Ferry Tour. An informative and enjoyable conversation!
Everyman, Major Man, and Momentum Blunted
Golf tales lead the way, and we hear from today's "friend" Michael Block, now everyone's friend, the club pro who stole the spotlight even from winner Brook Koepka at the PGA Championship. There was a cool local golf story at the Advent Health Care tournament that I witnessed as well. Also on tap, a miserable weekend for the Royals and Sporting, NBA and NHL playoffs, and more fun!
Fairways and Pathways
By any measure in the top five of professional golf tours in the world, the Korn Ferry tour is great sporting entertainment, and a great party to boot. We explore managing the event, as well as tell the stories of two players in different stages of their careers. Enjoy!
Sporting Yin and Yang
A weekend where Sporting KC brings the biggest smiles seems unusual right now as they pot some goals and entertain the home fans, and Daniel Sperry of The Star joins us for that. The Royals leave optimism behind at home as they get swept in Milwaukee, the NBA Finals are set, it’s a major championship week in golf and high level golf visits KC. All that and more!
Outhouse and Penthouse
The Royals hit the quarter pole with a thud as they search for hope, the PGA Championship is full of crash and burn for most and smiles for Justin Thomas, Sporting is gritty, the Premier League provides closing drama, some NBA, and much more.
