Golf talk with room to breathe.
Golf Unfiltered Podcast mixes panel chatter, solo updates, and interviews from the practical middle of the golf world. Recent episodes move from Scottie Scheffler’s Olympic run and Tour Championship format arguments to direct-to-consumer clubs, TopGolf business questions, and the realities of running golf media part time.

Golf Unfiltered Podcast is built around golf people talking through the game as they actually experience it. The format shifts. Some episodes are solo updates from Adam, especially when the subject is the future of Golf Unfiltered itself or the changing demands of golf media. Others bring in a full crew with Nikki, Dan Hauser, Trevor Reese, Jonathan, and guests moving in and out of the conversation. The show is not afraid of loose openings. A hat, a road trip, a football aside, or a sponsor read can lead the room into tournament structure, player legacies, or the business of golf. Recent conversations spend real time on Scottie Scheffler’s Olympic gold, Xander comparisons, limited-field events, and the strange accounting of modern golf seasons. The panel also gets into the Tour Championship format, including why staggered starts and playoff bonuses can feel unsatisfying when one player has clearly separated from the field. That analytical side is balanced by gear talk with a practical bent. Sub70 Golf and Haywood Golf come up through questions about feel, direct-to-consumer models, traditional irons, tooling costs, and what smaller brands can offer beyond a catalog product with a logo on it. The show also watches the wider golf business, including concerns around TopGolf and the cooling of some growth. Interviews tend to feel informal rather than packaged. Josh Haywood talks about product development from inside Haywood Golf, while Ryan French brings a candid view of the content game around Monday Q Info. Wells Adams brings celebrity pro-am stories, weather, cuts, and Pinehurst-adjacent golf conversation into the mix. The appeal is the combination of access and ordinariness. These are not sterile studio debates. They are golf conversations with interruptions, corrections, jokes, side roads, and real constraints. Adam’s update episode makes that especially clear, explaining how full-time work, personal life, and the changing expectations of on-course content shape what Golf Unfiltered can be. The result is a show for listeners who want golf coverage that still sounds close to the people making it.
Made for: For golf fans who follow tours, gear, media, and the business side of the game, but prefer conversation over polished punditry. It especially suits listeners who enjoy panel debate, creator realism, and equipment talk grounded in playing experience.
What sets it apart: The show’s strength is its lived-in mix of tournament opinion, gear pragmatism, and honest behind-the-scenes reflection on golf media. It feels less like a studio product and more like knowledgeable golf friends testing their takes in public.
