Tiger Woods turns 50 as the golf world looks back on the GOAT’s legacy, iconic wins, and what a Champions Tour future could hold.

Agustín Pizá, founder of Pizá Golf and one of the lead designers behind TGL, joins The Dan Evans Show for a full conversation about how golf is being redesigned from the ground up.

Agustín walks through his journey into golf course architecture, from studying traditional architecture and working in construction to learning from legendary designers and eventually forging his own creative identity. He explains how sustainability, creativity, and necessity shaped his philosophy long before digital golf entered the picture.

The conversation focuses heavily on TGL, where Agustín and his team design holes in a completely digital environment. We discuss what it means to design golf on a true blank canvas, how freedom can be more challenging than constraints, and how risk-reward concepts are reimagined for an indoor league.

Agustín also breaks down how entertainment and competition intersect in TGL, why players must be willing to take creative risks, and how design influences strategy, drama, and fan engagement. This episode is a deep dive into innovation, creativity, and the future of golf.

Dave Schultz joins The Dan Evans Show for a raw, funny, and inspiring deep dive into the grind of professional golf and how a brutal 88 on the Hooters Tour helped launch his second life in the game.

Dave opens up about:

• growing up in Fargo and the passion for golf in frozen winters

• playing Division I golf at TCU and battling through Korn Ferry Tour life

• expenses, cheap hotels, Avis rental car lines, and pursuing the PGA Tour dream

• the mental pressure, missed cuts, Q-School heartbreak, and the emotional burden pros carry

• how the Hole-In-One Show is changing lives by putting amateur golfers under TV pressure

• his journey into media, inspired by his late father and broadcasting family roots

• the moment he almost quit professional golf

• charity impact, future expansion, and raising money through golf TV

The Hole-In-One Show gives amateur golfers two shots at life-changing prizes — including cars and even $1 million — while raising money for charity. Dave explains how the show works, why pressure reveals character, and why amateur golfers struggle more with nerves than pros.
