This week, the Korn Ferry Tour is in Glenview, Illinois, for the NV5 Invitational presented by Old National Bank at The Glen Club.
While players are fighting for the championship, a unique telecast is happening behind the scenes.
Barstool Sports is broadcasting all four days of the event from 3:30-6:30 p.m. ET on Barstool.tv.
Their broadcast team includes members of the Foreplay podcast: Sam “Riggs” Bozoian, Frankie Borrelli (on-course reporter), Trent Ryan (on-course reporter) and Daniel Rapaport (on-course reporter). The team is rounded off by Jake Marsh, Francis Ellis and Kirk Minihane.
While Barstool has broadcasted college football and basketball games, this is the first time the company has done so for golf.
Here are some reviews from fans watching the NV5 Invitational.
Laughing along
I’ve laughed harder during this broadcast than any other golf broadcast I’ve watched ever, keep up the good work #BarstoolNV5 @NV5Invite https://t.co/yL1WeaOw7A

KFT over PGA Tour?
The @KornFerryTour and @barstoolsports combo is absolute gold!! Whoever thought of this should get a promotion and a raise. I’ll watch the #BarstoolNV5 over the @3MOpen all day. This style of broadcasting is what the @PGATOUR should bring to make it more exciting & fun to watch!!

This is how you grow the game
@barstoolsports should be in charge of at least half of the PGA tour broadcasts in the year. THIS is how you grow the game of golf #BarstoolNV5

A unique event
WIth DP World Tour off for nearly a month, can spend a bit more time looking in to the rest of the golf odds boards.
Always really enjoy this Korn Ferry Tour event at The Glen Oaks and a really unique week lies ahead with Barstool televising the event!
