OverDrive - June 10, 2026 - Hour 2 - Graham DeLaet/Frank Corrado

Graham DeLaet, a Canadian golf pro and analyst, joins the OverDrive podcast at the RBC Canadian Open to discuss the state of professional golf, the emotional highs of competition, and the shifting landscape of the PGA Tour. He reveals a deep nostalgia for the adrenaline of tournament play—especially the first tee and closing holes—something he says can't be replicated with casual rounds. DeLaet also reflects on the recent upheaval in pro golf, including the uncertain future of the LIV Golf League and the return of stars like Brooks Koepka, who he believes is just one putter change away from a major comeback. He praises the current depth of Canadian talent, highlighting Nick Taylor, Adam Hadwin, and rising stars like Darshan Yelamiraju, while noting the quiet transition in the Canadian golf scene after a golden era of players like Mike Weir and David Hearn. The conversation then pivots to sports media distractions, with DeLaet and host Frankie Corrado critiquing the media circus around Mike Babcock’s pending investigation and LeBron James’ controversial Time Magazine interview—both seen as unwarranted distractions from the actual games. Corrado ultimately argues that while Babcock may be a brilliant tactician, his management style makes him a poor fit for the Edmonton Oilers, and that the NHL needs focus, not controversy, during a historic Stanley Cup Final.
