At the 2025 Masters, ESPN’s Matt Barrie was out for a stroll on the course when a spectator approached him and greeted him with an unexpected remark.
“He’s like, ‘Hey man, I just want to thank you.’ I was like, ‘Well, thank me for what?’” Barrie told Sports Illustrated in a recent conversation. “He goes, ‘My daughters hated golf. My daughters wanted nothing to do with it, and now because of TGL, we watch it as a family together because they love it, because they love the players and they love the video game aspect of it.’”
