Episode Details

In this special Masters edition of Sports ‘N Torts, I reunite with OG podcast guests and good friends Moses Kim and Andy Goldner to break down what we all felt was one of the most unforgettable Masters tournaments in recent memory. From Rory McIlroy's emotional and long-awaited triumph completing the career Grand Slam to Bryson DeChambeau’s back-nine stumble, to Justin Rose’s serge to the playoff, the trio relives every high and heart-pounding moment of the 2025 Masters.

This was fun because we shared our firsthand stories from being able to attend the Masters in person this week. Moses was there on Sunday and able to give an on course recap of the final round. We discussed attending practice rounds, concession stand rituals, seating strategies, and Sunday’s chaotic, phone-free drama.
