The 19th Hole Golf Show (11/7): Vijay, drugs & power



On this week's The 19th Hole Golf Show, I talk about Vijay Singh v. PGA Tour and the recent allegations made in a court hearing by Singh's lawyer, Peter Ginsberg.

Topics include:

  • Did Ginsberg use the hearing as a press release of sorts, knowing it would be covered by the press?
  • How murky is the PGA Tour's relationship with its "independent contractors"?
  • Do the players really control the PGA Tour as the Tour's lawyer claimed?
  • Is there some more nuance to the claim that the PGA Tour has excepted players from drug testing and punishment?
  • Does the PGA Tour have a monopoly over professional golf?

Take a listen to the podcast and give us some feedback in the comments section, on Twitter or on Facebook. If you want to subscribe to the show via iTunes, by all means do so.
