Roberto recaps the week, previews Sunday, and talks data & tech impact at Aronimink. 

Roberto talks Day 1 at Aronimink, then dives into the connectivity required to power the PGA Championship. Kevin Lawson explains how T-Mobile's 5G network supports broadcast, operations, ticketing, point of sale, IoT devices, and more across a temporary venue and how that same approach could extend well beyond sports.

Roberto shares notes from the course and what to watch for as the PGA Championship gets started, then talks with Kaitlyn Nelson about what the data is revealing from the early-week fan experience. Kaitlyn explains the tech stack, how the team connected various data sets, and the value that creates for the PGA of America, fans, sponsors, vendors, and more. Plus, predictions.

Quick observations from a day 1 at Aronimink, followed by a conversation with Ryan Decker from CapTech on how he's working with the PGA to use live data and AI to “produce” the fan experience. Personalized itineraries, IoT cameras, and instant alerting are helping manage crowds, concessions, safety, and operations across the entire event. 

We kick off PGA Championship week with Rob Smith of the PGA of America. Rob shares how PGAA is upgrading the fan experience by using data to improve operations, better serve fans at home and on-site, and create new revenue opportunities across one of golf's biggest championships.

But now the future of LIV Golf may be in serious trouble.In this episode of MX3 Podcast, we discuss the rise of LIV Golf, the Saudi Public Investment Fund backing, the players who took the money, the PGA Tour reaction, and whether golfers like Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Sergio Garcia, and others should be allowed back into the PGA Tour fold.Was LIV Golf good for the sport?

:00 – Carl and Mike react to their conversation with Tom D'Angelo as they had discussed Tiger Woods and whether or not the professional golfer should consider hanging up playing golf in order to focus on getting help. They then get into some NFL talk as they react to comments from Howie Roseman telling reporters his answer to AJ Brown question will be the wide receiver "is a member of the Browns'. As they discuss, they agree the Eagfles should have already made a decision to move on from Brown when he started complaining about his role with the team.

What happens when everything you have worked for suddenly feels like it is slipping away? In this episode, I sit down with LPGA professional Gina Kim to talk about the emotional toll of losing tour status, the identity crisis that followed, and the deeper work required to rebuild herself from the inside out.  Gina opens up about hitting a true low point in her professional career, questioning whether she even wanted to keep going, and how a new coach, a new process, and a radically different perspective helped her fight her way back. What makes this conversation so powerful is that Gina does not credit her comeback solely to hitting more balls or grinding harder. Instead, she shares how silence, visualization, journaling, self-reflection, and process-driven thinking helped her redefine confidence, reconnect with her purpose, and perform with greater freedom under pressure. In this episode, you'll learn: Why losing her tour card forced Gina Kim to confront who she needed to become How journaling, visualization, and silent walks helped Kim rebuild her identity The difference between grinding endlessly and practicing with intention How Kim redefined confidence as adaptability instead of perfection Why process, routine, and intention became the foundation of her comeback How to separate a bad performance from your identity Why elite performers fall back on routines instead of rising to the occasion This is an episode about resilience, identity, emotional regulation, and learning how to trust yourself again when the game — and life — stop going your way.

She competed at the highest levels of junior golf before committing to Duke, where she became a key contributor to one of the most competitive teams in college golf. During her time at Duke (2018–2022), she earned multiple collegiate wins and consistent top finishes, became an All-ACC selection and a WGCA All-American honorable mention, and played in the NCAA Championships, serving as a central part of Duke's nationally ranked teams. Kim turned professional in 2022, earning LPGA Tour membership through LPGA Q‑Series — one of the most grueling qualifying processes in professional golf. Since turning pro, she has competed regularly on the LPGA Tour and recorded multiple top-10 finishes early in her professional career.

Losing tour status created the space for self-reflection, identity rebuilding, and a healthier relationship with the game. Visualization, journaling, and silence played a major role in helping Kim mentally rehearse the version of herself she wanted to become. Grinding harder is not always the answer; elite players often practice with more intention, not more volume. Emotional resilience on the course comes from learning how to respond to setbacks rather than collapse after them. Kim's story reinforces that the path back to elite performance often requires surrendering old beliefs and rebuilding from the inside out. Key Quotes: "I cannot wait to get back to work during the off-season. I finally have the time to work on the things I want to work on." "What does the best version of Gina Kim look like? When I step on the tee box, how am I reacting? How am I standing? How am I breathing?" "My psychologist was like, you need to be able to see yourself in order for it to become reality." "Instead of saying I suck, I would say, well, that sucked, that situation sucked, but you know what? We got five holes left." "You don't have the luxury to get upset and let it fall apart when you have a job in front of you." "My version of confidence is I know I'm going to miss a shot out there... but I'm confident enough to adapt to the situation and to find a way out of it." "Elite performers don't rise up to the occasion, they fall back on the routines."

In what is a special episode of the podcast released on 26th March it is Purple Day which is Worldwide Epilepsy Awareness Day I was really pleased to be joined by LETAS title winner & 2x Sunshine Ladies Tour winner Jane Turner on what is a really meaningful day for Jane and over 80,000 other Epilepsy sufferers in Scotland alone. We find out what Purple Day is and what it means to Jane while also finding out that a young girl from America who has the same condition is her idol and is competing as a golfer at U10 Under Armour Championships. Inspiring stuff!!   Jane is from Penicuik in Midlothian which is not far outside of the main city of Edinburgh and turned professional in 2013 after a successful junior/amateur career including winning British Universities Championship twice, Scottish Ladies Strokeplay Championship, R&A Bursars Ladies & representing Scotland Teams. In 2017 Jane would win Bossey Ladies Open on LET Access Series winning in a playoff then win twice on Sunshine Ladies Tour in South Africa in 2019 & 2020. Plying her trade between LET & LET Access Series as time went on Jane admitted that her Epilepsy caused a major setback in her career. In June 2025 Jane would undergo major brain surgery to successfully remove a brain tumour and is working extremely hard to get back ready to play Professional Golf again to make the start of a comeback story! I have my fingers crossed that Jane can get the chance to compete again on the Professional Tour.

In this episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, Emilia pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to stay composed on live TV, how she manages nerves under pressure, and why the same routines, reps, and reflections that make her great on-air are the same ingredients you need to perform on the golf course and in business.

Nerves don't disappear; they become more manageable when you simplify the goal—like aiming to say just one truly insightful thing each broadcast. Preparation is routine, reps, and rehearsal: organize your info, rehearse key lines, and build a repeatable process you can trust when the heat turns up. Reflection isn't just about what went wrong—intentionally review what you did well so you don't let one flub define the entire performance. Perfectionism feels like a superpower early on, but if you don't manage your expectations, it becomes emotional kryptonite that drains joy and confidence. Watching the best players closely teaches that even world-class golfers hit plenty of mediocre shots—and handle them with neutrality and grace. In both golf and broadcasting, success is often saying less with more impact and knowing when silence, presence, and emotion are more powerful than words. Key Quotes: "If I can just say one insightful thing to the audience, that's a win." "You might spend five hours on notes and only use ten percent of them—and that's okay." "Broadcasting is a job of imperfection; it's how you handle yourself when things go slightly awry that matters." "I had to accept that golf isn't my number one priority anymore—and still let that be okay." "The more I worked in golf, the more I realized I didn't want to feel emotionally exhausted all the time."

Dana Dahlquist is a Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher and a Golf Digest Top 50 Golf Instructor.  Recognized as one of the best on the Professional Golf, Dana's goal is to help players create swings that are functional and repeatable under pressure, not just swings that look good on camera on the driving range. Originally trained with a background in mechanics (MORAD specifically), his teaching has evolved to understand the forces players must apply to create the matchups needed in their swing.  Dana also works with Bryson DeChambeau and joins #OntheMark to set up the US Open and help you get a better understanding of how to build a dynamically stable and repeatable golf swing. He takes a deep dive into technique as he discusses elements that a lot of golfers misundestand: Hitting Down in Contrast to Presenting Better Dynamic Loft for better Strikes and more Power How to effectively Make Changes for Consistency when embarking on Game Improvement Measures, and Managing Expectations and Setting Positive Timelines for Improvement. As he elaborates on these important topics Dana talks about Ben Hogan, Mac O'Grady, Lee Trevino and Bryson DeChambeau.  He also talks about game improvement's "Heirarchy of Needs" and how hitting the shot that is needed is better than hitting a good shot - as he uses Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler as examples.
