Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 467 - Inside Golf TV Production: Brandt Packer on The Masters & The Future of Sports Broadcasting

We're joined by Brandt Packer, former Golf Channel Producer and part of the "LetsHang.live" team. 

Dive into Masters Week 2025 with Brandt Packer, a former Golf Channel and CBS Sports executive producer, as he unveils an exciting new way to experience the first major of the season. In this exclusive interview, Brandt shares insights from his storied career producing televised golf and introduces "Let's Hang Live," a free, interactive second-screen platform transforming how fans engage with the Masters.
 
With over 80% of sports viewers using a secondary device, this innovative concept—featuring legends like Nick Faldo, Jim Nantz, and Freddie Couples—lets you ask questions, get real-time analysis, and even receive swing tips from a six-time major champion. 
 
Brandt takes us behind the scenes of golf broadcasting, from the unique challenges of Augusta National’s strict traditions to the creative strategies shaping modern coverage. Learn how this second-screen experience, launching Sunday at 8 PM post-Masters (pending no playoff), offers a clubhouse vibe with unfiltered insights—think Manningcast meets golf.
 
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a casual viewer, this is your chance to connect with the game like never before. 
 
Plus, hear Brandt’s personal Masters memories, from walking the grounds with his late father, legendary broadcaster Billy Packer, to spotting Phil Mickelson as a lefty prodigy. Curious about the future of golf broadcasts or the best seat at Augusta? This conversation has it all.
