Aaron Rai secured his first major title at the PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club this past Sunday, finishing at 9-under-par to claim a record $3.69 million share of the $20.5 million purse.
The victory marks a historical shift, as Aaron Rai became the first English-born player to take home the trophy in over a century. Despite the magnitude of the win, mainstream sports podcasting coverage has been notably sparse. On Pardon My Take, host Dan Katz offered a brief, perfunctory nod to the event, stating, "Okay. Good show, boys. Um, PGA Championship."
The lack of deeper analysis on shows like Pardon My Take highlights a divergence between golf's elite tier and the broader sports media landscape. While the financial stakes of the PGA Championship are at an all-time high, the conversation remains largely confined to niche golf outlets, leaving casual listeners waiting for a post-major breakdown that may not be coming.
