ORLANDO, Fla. (April 15, 2020) – On the heels of his historic score of 59 earlier this year, tournament champion Jake Knapp will allow viewers a chance to go inside the ropes and inside his mind during a practice round on special episodes of Playing Lessons, streaming today exclusively on the GolfPass website and app.
Knapp, 30, made PGA TOUR history in February when he became the 15th player to post a score of 60 or better, recording a 59 for his first round at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches.
Across two episodes, Knapp is joined by legendary caddie and NBC on-course reporter Jim “Bones” Mackay for a one-on-one conversation from tee to green, during which the two discuss swing tips, shot selection and course management. The episode was shot on location at Whisper Rock Golf Club’s Upper Course in Scottsdale, Ariz. Knapp also takes time to answer GolfPass viewer questions at the beginning of Episode 2.
