Untold stories from 2020

Author: GOLF.com December 22, 2020 Duration: 31:52

We research plenty of stories — but we don't get a chance to tell all of them. What did it feel like at the final tournament before the pandemic? Who changed golf's conversation the most in 2020? And what was this year like for the PGA Tour's most accurate player? On this week's episode of the Drop Zone, we dig into our notebooks to revisit several key moments from the 2020 golf season and share the details behind the stories we never got to.


Each episode of Drop Zone-GOLF Podcast is a deep dive into the week's most compelling stories, delivered by the sharp writers and editors from GOLF.com. Hosted by Dylan Dethier and featuring regular voices like Sean Zak, Claire Rogers, James Colgan, and Michael Bamberger, the conversation moves beyond basic scores and highlights to explore the nuances, controversies, and personalities shaping the game. You'll hear a curated list of the ten topics that actually matter, debated with the insight and occasional friendly disagreement that comes from a team living inside the sport every day. This isn't just a recap; it's an analysis of what each development means for players, fans, and the future of golf. The discussion feels like you're in the room with the editors as they break down a major ruling, an emerging rivalry, or a surprising comeback, often joined by special guests who add another layer of expertise. Tuning into this podcast provides context you won't find elsewhere, transforming the week's news into a coherent narrative about where golf is headed. It’s designed for anyone who wants to understand the 'why' behind the headlines, all delivered with the authority and access that only the GOLF.com team can provide. The tone is informed but conversational, serious when it needs to be, and always engaging. You get the sense these are the same conversations happening in the newsroom, now shared directly with you.
