    Brooks Koepka Returns and RepSpark Founder Meghann Butcher
    Jan 13 2026
    Brooks Koepka jumps back to the PGA TOUR, the NFL Wild Card Weekend was exactly that, and RepSpark Founder and CEO Meghann Butcher goes inside baseball on golf merchandise. Brooks Koepka officially tries to return to the PGA TOUR, and after Alex and Michael talk about it (and finish recording) then come back to share breaking news that changed everything they talked about. Tiger's TGR Foundation is having a Birthday Gala to kick off the year, and it's full of 2000's celebrities and Tiger's favorite foods. Vijay Singh, the "favorite" golfer of Alex and Michael, is returning to the PGA TOUR thanks to a little used exemption, and the guys wonder why. The Sony Open kicks off the season this weekend, but is this the last time the TOUR goes to Hawaii? Alex's Dry January is off to a great start, but how is he being social at the bar without the booze? In Tuned In, Michael watches the 2025 Oscar favorite "A Real Pain," while Alex is catching the Golden Globes and the new season of Beast Games. This week's guest is Meghann Butcher, the founder and CEO of RepSpark. Meghann chats with Alex about how RepSpark connects golf brands with pro shops, giving us the inside baseball look at how the merchandise gets onto the shelves and how you, as a golfer, can influence what your favorite pro shop carries. College Football hurdles towards the National Championship, and Miami gets to play a home game, and probably lose, against this season's powerhouse that is Indiana. In the NFL, the Wild Card Weekend was, well, wild. Alex breaks down the games from the weekend and looks ahead to his Patriots winning some more games. Michael shares some weird headlines in baseball, including how the Athletics may need a new name, and how baseball may grow and change in ways that makes the PGA TOUR's proposed changes seem small in comparison. As the guys #AlwaysEndWithFood, Alex is enjoying the January diet tacos and pizza, while Michael's busy social calendar is costing him dearly. Learn more about your ad choices.
