Over the past few years, the recognition and awards Next on the Tee has received have meant far more to me than I can fully put into words. Every honor is a reminder of how blessed I am to spend my time talking about a game we all love with people who have shaped it, studied it, and lived it at the highest level.

​

To the incredible guests who have joined me — major champions, top instructors, tour players, caddies, broadcasters, and dear friends — thank you. Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for trusting me with your stories. The wisdom you share and the heart you bring to every conversation are what make this show special. These awards reflect you just as much as they do the program itself.

​

My deepest gratitude to the Academy of Visual & Interactive Arts for recognizing the work. To be acknowledged by such a respected organization is an honor I don’t take lightly. I’m sincerely thankful for the encouragement and validation it brings.

​

And to the greatest supporters in the history of podcasts — our listeners — you are the foundation of everything. Your loyalty, your messages, your enthusiasm, and your belief in what we’re building together mean the world to me. Every time you press play, you’re giving me the opportunity to continue this journey, and I never take that for granted.

​

These awards are a celebration of community. Of passion. Of shared love for this game. I’m incredibly grateful for where we’ve been, deeply thankful for everyone who’s walked alongside me, and excited — with a full heart — for what’s still to come.
