2 Off the 1st: PGA Tour-LIV fallout from Koepka’s return, and the end of the Hawaiian Swing?

On this episode, Ryan Ballengee looks at the whole situation of Brooks Koepka returning to the PGA Tour and the offer made to LIV Golf major winners to come back under the same amnesty program. The comings and goings of LIV now only come down to Bryson DeChambeau. Also, this could be the last Sony Open in Hawaii, and that would be a bad thing for golf and golf fans.

This year, 2 Off the 1st episodes will come out on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, keeping you up to date on the biggest stories in golf.
