TB9, S14, E18: Writer/Editor Evan Rothman — On Ambition and Perspective

Have you ever taken the time to think about who introduced you to something you love, and to appreciate what that person gave you? Fresh off a golf trip to England, Dennis shares a toast he made to the people who first put golf clubs in our hands. It's a fitting introduction to this week's guest on The Back 9, longtime golf writer and editor Evan Rothman. Evan still plays with his 93-year-old father, who introduced him to the game, while watching his own son compete at the collegiate level. Three generations, and some hard-earned lessons about parenting, ambition, and knowing when to step back. After decades profiling some of the biggest names in entertainment and sports, Evan also reflects on why prestigious bylines matter less than they once did, and why the stops on our careers shouldn't define who we are. It's a conversation about the people who shape us, the ambitions that drive us, and how our perspective changes as we make our way through the Back 9.
