🎙️ Welcome to Next on the Tee – Where the Legends of Golf Share Their Stories ⛳
If you love the game of golf and the people who make it great, you’ve come to the right place. Each week on Next on the Tee, I sit down with some of the biggest names in golf—legends of the game, top instructors, rising stars, broadcasters, and insiders—to bring you the stories, insights, and lessons that make this game so special.
From unforgettable major championship moments to behind-the-scenes tales you won’t hear anywhere else, we go beyond the scorecard to connect you with the heart of the game.
Whether you're a lifelong player, a weekend warrior, or just a fan of great storytelling, there’s something here for you.

David Peoples

HUGE thank you to the judges at the Academy of Visual & Interactive Arts, the Communicator Awards, Davey Awards, and Signal Awards for honoring Next on the Tee with Gold & Silver Awards for Excellence in Sports Podcasting. Over the last 3 years, the show has collected 14 awards and been recognized among the very best in podcasting. I am overcome with gratitude to the judges, my GREAT guests, and Next on the Tee Nation for being the GREATEST supporters in the history of podcasts. To my guests, thank you for sharing your stories, insights, and playing lessons each week, you are the true stars of the show. To Next on the Tee Nation, thank you for being so awesome! These awards are all of yours as well. None of it would have happened without you and the grace of God.

I have been blessed in my life to have two very successful careers, one in acting and one in sports media. For many years I’ve been the host of an award-winning golf podcast on ESPNSportsRadio in Lexington, KY. Almost 8 years ago, Chris Mascaro asked me to be a guest on his podcast Next on the Tee. In both of my careers, I have been interviewed too many times to count. That podcast, and the many that have followed, convinced me Chris Mascaro is the best interviewer of all those appearances. There is no one that is more prepared, more engaging, or genuinely interested in his guests, than Chris. On every single podcast. It is absolutely an honor for me to join him anytime he asks.
Matthew Laurance

"You are very enjoyable to interview with. Your show is very interesting and your listeners learn a lot about golf."
Rees Jones





"You are the smartest guy I have spoken to on radio or television in my career.”
