We all know the tradition unlike any other is the actual Masters Tournament, but in terms of a podcast tradition that never stops, it's ESPN's Scott Van Pelt joining Shane to preview the Masters.
Scott and Shane discuss the special week for the both of them, what it was like last year prepping for a potential Tiger Woods return to Augusta National and the week that followed, the pressures of winning at the Masters, and plenty more.
Scott also gets into the ESPN approach to golf broadcasting and why the network has become one of the most popular for golf fans when they get a shot at major championship golf twice a year with the Masters and the PGA Championship.
After Shane's chat with Scott, Noah Syken, the VP of Sports and Entertainment Partnerships at IBM, jumps on to discuss the best app in the world, The Masters app, and why it's unmatched.
Noah also shares some new features this year like broadcasting AI ("Henry" the broadcaster!) that'll be an option with every shot live.
A huge thanks to Scott and Noah for taking some time to chat about the best week of the year.
