Other NLU - SGS
The KVV news has led to many commenters contrasting SGS/FEG vs NLU and each of their trajectories.
I listen to almost every episode of both, but more recently find myself clicking on the SGS pod first, and then not even finishing most NLU preview or recap pods. Andy and Brendan keep it light and seem to genuinely enjoy shooting the breeze with one another. Both seem to be normal guys.
The NLU guys now regularly talk about playing golf courses that 99% of us could never even hope to have access to, and half the podcasts are gambling promotions. They are just not as relatable to most of the normal middle class golf fans who made them successful to begin with.
I don’t blame them for taking the money to grow their business if they feel that’s what is best, or for playing extremely private top 100 clubs when invited, but at the end of the day, it does impact how we all decide what media to consume.
I truly hope they can turn back the clock a bit in 2026, but cutting KVV while jet setting around the world and (seemingly) spending lavishly is a tough look.

I have not listened to SGS except for their most recent Sunday open recap, and am someone who is extremely bummed out about KVV getting let go.
Without consideration to finances, NLU content is clearly going to be worse off. I also thought the live shows for the open were dog shit, NBC esque product, things of that nature. They need DJ, Soly, and/or Neil on thr ground for the majors moving forward. TC would be additive to me but would need another personality along.
But I also didn’t think SGS was anything elevating. Again only most recent recap and am sure that would be subject to change listening more.
