About Pull Hook Golf

Stories from golfers who chased the dream and didn't make it. Mini-tour dropouts, Q-School heartbreak, college stars who chose different paths, and Tour players who walked away. Hosted by Matt Cook — a mini-tour dropout himself — each episode is a deep conversation about the dream, the reckoning, and what gets built after the card is gone. Nobody in golf media is telling these stories. We are.
