Next On The Tee With Chris Mascaro, Golf Podcast

In this episode of Next on the Tee, we’re joined by 2019 Charles Schwab Cup Champion Scott McCarron, as he gears up for the new season. Scott shares insights into his current health and the state of his game as he prepares for another competitive year. We also discuss the accessibility and visibility challenges the Champions Tour faces, despite the exceptional talent and fan engagement from its players. We explore why the PGA Tour seems to treat the Champions Tour as an afterthought and how that might change when Tiger Woods turns 50 and potentially joins the field. Scott reflects on his leadership role within the Tour, offering his perspective on the upcoming changes to the PGA Tour in 2026, including the reduction of full-time Tour cards and the impact of LIV Golf’s emergence has had on player earnings. We then take a deep dive into Scott’s impressive record at the Senior PGA Championship, a tournament where he’s consistently performed well, and discuss his chances at Congressional Country Club this year
