NEW YEAR...NEW RULES & LIV WITH IT!

The golf world is shifting — and DA and 15-year Tour Caddy Mick Middlemo are here to break it all down from inside the ropes.

In this episode of Tales From The Tips, the guys dive into some of the biggest storylines shaking up the game, including Brooks Koepka’s surprising departure from LIV Golf, the PGA Tour’s newly announced rule changes, and what the launch of the Women’s TGL Golf League could mean for the future of professional golf. From power moves in the boardroom to pressure-packed moments on the course, DA and Mick explore how the business, politics, and competition of golf continue to evolve.

Along the way, they unpack leadership changes inside the PGA, share behind-the-scenes stories from life on Tour, and offer their candid — and often hilarious — takes on what all of this means for players, caddies, fans, and the next generation of the game.

It’s insight, opinion, laughs, and real golf talk — exactly how you’d hear it standing behind the tee box.

DA adds his own colorful takes on player performances, off-season chaos, and why caddies might just be the most underrated athletes on the course (depending on how heavy the staff bag is).The guys even tackle the big topics — like golf’s global takeover, Aussie sports culture, and which caddy from the old days would’ve survived social media (spoiler: not many).And just when you think they’ve run out of stories, they tease what’s coming next: new guests, wilder tales, and a few things the PGA Tour definitely won’t be posting about.🎧 Watch or listen to Tales from the Tips on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeart Podcasts — where golf talk meets pub chat and every story has a divot.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Tales from the Tips02:55 Golf Season Updates and Personal Reflections05:57 Injury and Retirement from Golf08:58 Upcoming Tournaments and Australian Golf Scene11:57 The Global Expansion of Golf Tours14:57 Cultural Insights into Australian Sports22:03 Caddying: The Journey and Challenges27:59 Caddy Personalities and Stories29:52 Looking Ahead: Future Guests and Topics
