After his first season in the CBS broadcast tower, Colt Knost joins Andy Johnson for a wide-ranging conversation. The two discuss Colt's new role on the CBS crew, his favorite memories from on-course reporting, and some big takeaways from the 2026 PGA Tour season before diving into the debate around reinstated amateurism in golf. Colt, a former U.S. Amateur champion and PGA Tour player, recently applied to be reinstated as an amateur by the USGA and has been documenting the process on his podcast and social media. Andy and Colt discuss the intricacies of this hot-button issue, including whether former professionals should not be allowed to play in the U.S. Amateur, even if they're reinstated. The two close with some stories from Colt's rounds at Whisper Rock in Scottsdale, Arizona.
