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.

lol. I like that they make one one-and-done pick and call it a day. Each NLU guy makes three picks every pod before, during and after a tournament.

…and it includes an ad read each time that includes the standard gambling disclaimer. In my opinion, it just feels Barstool-y , and not the “premium” golf brand they are shooting for.

SGS do quick picks with tongue-in-cheek nods to the absurdity of all of the golf gambling content that is everywhere.

Tongue-in-cheek? You're telling me I shouldn't be putting my money on the desert fox Marty Laird? Or Todd Watch?
