Annika Sörenstam Talks Ryder Cup Fan Abuse and Future of LPGA

Major League Baseball has to be thrilled with how the wild-card postseason has shaped up, as three of the four matchups head to a decisive win-or-go-home Game 3 on Thursday. Coming off record season viewership and attendance, FOS newsletter writer Eric Fisher explains how the revamped postseason initiated a couple of years ago has only cemented what has been a tremendous 2025 season for MLB and commissioner Rob Manfred.

Plus, Recentive Analytics CEO Andy Tabrizi explains how his data company helped advise MLB in scheduling the best postseason matchups to maximize their broadcast viewership.

Also, women’s golf legend Annika Sörenstam joins Baker Machado and Renee Washington to chat about the continued fan fallout from the Ryder Cup, plus the future of the LPGA and where she sees her sport compared to the rising interest in other female-led sports.
