The Pride of St Andrews // Golf Digest’s Evin Priest

Straight Down the Middle'ish

We're back this week with our very first chat with someone from the golf media. He's not only a journalist, he's an INXS aficionado, and the pride of St Andrews, Australia, Mr. Evin Priest!
Evin currently covers the Aussie beat on both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, which allows him to bring a fresh perspective on the current state of both tours. With so much division in the professional game, Evin felt it is was crucial to cover both tours, and offer a fair take by reporting on the future of professional golf with rival tours.
In this episode, we cover a variety of hot topics, and Evin shares a few of his stories from the road. Including nuggets like his Open Championship celebration last summer at St Andrews, where he got to drink from the Claret Jug and blast INXS with Cam Smith!
He's the first guy we've met that's taken an Uber down Magnolia Lane, and we really enjoyed getting to know Evin Priest. We hope y'all enjoy!
