2 Off the 1st: Brooks Koepka explains himself, and Nelly Korda has WTGL issues

On this episode (recorded Wednesday and had upload issues, pre-PReed exodus), Brooks Koepka explains how his PGA Tour comeback happened and the family situation that precipitated it. Also, Nelly Korda is disappointed that WTGL has no crossover with TGL, and that might give her some leverage.

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.
