Gary Christian notably became a PGA Tour rookie at 40, making him one of the oldest true rookies in modern PGA Tour history. During his rookie year in 2012, he made the FedEx Cup Playoffs and was paired with Tiger Woods at The Barclays. Gary takes us through what finally got him over the hump from the mini-tours to the PGA Tour (hint: It wasn't his swing). If you want your golf game to age like a fine wine, this episode is for you.

Here's Gary's new book (Evan bought it before the interview was done).
