THE THING ABOUT GOLF: #130 Rich Beem

Season 4 Episode 130

Rich Beem is one of the game’s best characters of the past 30 years and his 2002 PGA Championship win over a charging Tiger Woods remains among the most entertaining finishes to a tournament this century. 

John Huggan sat down with Beam recently to learn about where he came from, what it’s like to win a major, Team USA’s best chance of winning the Ryder Cup away from home and plenty more. 

Beem is engaging, thoughtful and eloquent and knows how to tell a good story, which all makes for an excellent listen.
