Golf-analytics wizard Mark Broadie holds the key to lower scores

Mark Broadie joins hosts Bo Van Pelt and Farrell Evan to explain Strokes Gained, the revolutionary tool that changed how the best players in the world evaluate their performance and strategy across the various areas of their games.

That man is Mark Broadie, who joined Bo Van Pelt and Farrell Evans to explain strokes gained, the revolutionary tool that changed how the best players in the world evaluate their performance and strategy across various areas of their games. Sean Foley, who wrote the foreword to Broadie's book, Every Shot Counts, calls the Columbia Business School professor one of the most influential minds of the past 20 years in golf.
