Shane Ryan on His New Ryder Cup Project and the State of Golf Media


Shane Ryan is a contributor for GolfDigest.com and the author of Slaying the Tiger, an account of the 2014 PGA Tour season. He sits down with Garrett Morrison to talk about the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, which he covered last week; his new book project and podcast series on the Ryder Cup; and how the golf world has changed since he went out on tour in 2014. They also touch on the current discourse around athletes’ mental-health struggles, the reasons Team Europe kicks Team USA’s butt in three out of every four Ryder Cups, and the decline of traditional golf journalism.
