It was a banner year for Subpar hosts Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz, who welcomed weekly guests both in studio and online to discuss the game’s most burning topics on their popular podcast.
The list of men and women who sat in Knost and Stoltz’s hot seat this year is impressive, ranging from Lydia Ko and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler to former pro athletes turned golf nuts like Blake Griffin, Roger Clemens and Matt Ryan.
But of all the appearances from some of the game’s most notable names in 2024, some stood apart from the rest in terms of popularity. Which guest reigned supreme? That would be Geoff Ogilvy, who regaled Knost and Stoltz with more than an hour of stories and insights from his life in golf.
