Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin are the defending champions in this week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
While they'll try to become the first duo to go back-to-back in the only team event on the PGA Tour, Novak will be paying close attention to another big sporting event this week -- the NFL draft, which starts Thursday (8 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN+) in Pittsburgh.
The 31-year-old golfer might be the biggest NFL fan on tour, and he even has a podcast to prove it.
In September 2023, Evan Grenus, one of Novak's teammates on the Wofford College golf team, asked if he had any interest in co-hosting a podcast focused on the NFL, fantasy football and gambling.
One of Grenus' friends had bailed on the project. Grenus promised that it would only be a temporary gig for Novak until he found a permanent co-host. Novak agreed to do it as long as it wasn't just a temporary gig.
"I always kind of thought it was something that would be fun to do, just talk some football," Novak said. "It doesn't take a ton of extra work on my part. I watch the games. I feel like I can talk well, and I understand the game pretty well. It's just something fun that I do on Tuesdays."
