Masters Preview with Webb Simpson – Episode #18

Masters week is here—and this one’s special. Kyle Porter is joined by major champion Webb Simpson for a wide-ranging conversation on Augusta National, what it really feels like to contend on Sunday, and the tiny details that make the Masters unlike anything else in golf. Webb shares: → What makes Augusta National so deceptively difficult → Why the Masters Tournament demands precision over perfection → His near-miss in 2019 (and the one putt he’d take back) → The chaos of playing alongside Tiger Woods during his iconic win → Why the Par 3 Contest might be the best day in golf Plus, a look inside Webb’s mindset, how he’s grown as a player over nearly two decades on Tour, and how faith and golf intersect in his life and podcast. If you love Augusta, this is as close as it gets to being inside the ropes.
