A notoriously hard group to get hold of, I have wanted to get stuck into life as a professional for years. Eddie Pepperell is the perfect person to do that with. Fully open with him thoughts, super analytical, a media voice himself as co-host of the hugely popular podcast ‘The Chipping Forecast’, and someone that has experienced both the highs and lows of a sport that tests your mental strength as much as any other. He has been an outspoken voice on LIV Golf, as well as being very open about the need to protect and develop the DP World Tour. I absolutely loved sitting down with him, got the opportunity to nerd out as you will see when talking about the Masters, and developed my understanding of what it’s really like to call the golf course your home. I’m delighted to welcome Eddie to the Business of Sport. ---------------------------------------------------- Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 3:01 - Eddie Pepperell’s Fight To Keep His Tour Card 6:19 - The Four-Birdie Finish That Changed Everything 7:42 - The Mental Struggles Behind Professional Golf 13:13 - Why Eddie Chose Golf Over Football 15:01 - The Three Pillars That Make Golf So Difficult 16:24 - What Really Separates Scheffler From The Rest 19:31 - Eddie’s Depression During His Best Year 22:51 - The Pressure Of Golf As A Career 25:23 - The Real Cost Of Being A Professional Golfer 29:38 - Where A Golfer’s Money Really Goes 32:23 - What It’s Really Like Playing The Masters 38:14 - What Happens When The Big Money Arrives 44:40 - Eddie’s View Of LIV Golf’s Disruption 47:14 - Why Eddie Would Never Have Taken LIV Money 54:04 - What LIV Golf Actually Changed 58:03 - Why LIV Was Too Big To Fit Into Golf 59:23 - How Should LIV Players Be Reintegrated? 1:01:29 - Can Golf’s New Financial Model Really Work? 1:05:29 - Is YouTube The Future Threat To Golf? 1:08:21 - What Does Eddie Want From The Next Stage Of His Career? 1:09:43 - Why Does Eddie Keep Putting Himself Through It? 1:11:12 - Why Eddie Would Choose The DP World Tour Over The PGA Tour 1:13:27 - Has Golf Sold Too Much Of Its Heritage? 1:18:18 - Why Golf May Need To Become Smaller ---------------------------------------------------- Subscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1lD0eIjmkyr92VggxZmDuF?si=c0a7e9846a834767 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/business-of-sport/id1690597762 Follow Harry Stebbings on X: https://twitter.com/HarryStebbings Follow Charlie Stebbings on X: https://twitter.com/CharlieStebbs Follow Eddie Pepperell on X: https://twitter.com/PepperellEddie Follow Business of Sport on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bizofsport Follow Business of Sport on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bizofsport ---------------------------------------------------- #businessofsport #charliestebbings #eddiepepperell #golf #dpworldtour #livgolf ## Stats - **Views:** 66,069 - **Likes:** 417 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 69 ## Credits | Name | Username | Profile | Role | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Business of Sport | @bizofsport | https://gondola.cc/bizofsport | Podcast | ## Tags businessofsport, dpworldtour, charliestebbings, livgolf, golf, eddiepepperell --- Copyright (c) Gondola
