Majors Poker - 2026 Masters

The Edge pod returns for Masters week, as Scott discusses how The Edge is expanding its YouTube channel in our mission to deliver "The Cheat Code” for golf. While Andy Walker is absent while coaching at the Calusa Cup. Scott brings on veteran LPGA journalist Kent Paisley and LPGA caddie Scottie Leonard to discuss their new podcast project with The Edge, why LPGA golf offers relatable strategy and skill lessons (lower ball flight, less spin, landing spots), the Augusta National Women’s Amateur versus LPGA access to Augusta, and increased caddie movement between tours. They highlight LPGA “ballers” including Nelly Korda, Lydia Ko, and Hyo Joo Kim, then play “Majors Poker” with Masters picks. Stay for the hole show on a special nugget on the 14th hole at Augusta National.
