The PGA Tour wants a younger, hipper, more vibrant audience. But at what cost?
In this edition of the Golf Channel Podcast with Rex & Lav, senior writers Rex Hoggard and Ryan Lavner discuss the rowdy fan behavior at the WM Phoenix Open. Did the Tour get what it asked for?

- 02:30: WAS THIS AN ABERRATION? Or a sign of things to come?
- 05:00: MUCH ADO? Did the fans actually cross the line?
- 10:00: KEEP IT CASUAL? Tour keeps wanting to attract casual fans – and this is what casual fans bring.
- 14:00: SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE: Play the Super Bowl on Saturday, or move the Phoenix Open finish.
