Episode 8: Karsten Solheim and The Anser putter

When Young Tom Morris died on Christmas Day in 1875, he was just 24 years old, and his more famous father, Old Tom, would outlive him by more than 30 years. But in those 24 years, Young Tom had an incredible impact on the sport. He was golf's first celebrity, but more than that, he was the first man to prove that you could make a living—a very good living, in fact—as a touring professional. Today's top pros all descend from a lineage that started with Young Tom, who took the game out of Scotland and began the process of making it global.

Episode 1: 1996 Masters

In the early 1980s, there came a point where the Ryder Cup governing bodies had seemingly tried everything, but nothing worked. The matches weren't competitive, the U.S. players were losing interest, and the chief sponsor of the European team dropped out, leaving them with no money to continue. This, even more than the pause for the Second World War, saw the Ryder Cup on the thinnest possible ice, seemingly fated to die a sad death. This week on Local Knowledge, we're telling the story of the unlikely resurrection—how a collection of players, captains, and executives managed to keep it alive against the odds.
