Brad Faxon - MSOP ambassador and Fox Sports 1 golf analyst

Special guest

Brad has been an early ambassador and supporter of MSOP since he first heard of the idea over four years ago. Known as one of the world's best all-time putters, Brad brought instant credibility to The MSOP long before the first competitive putt was sunk. Brad backed up his belief in MSOP by hosting the two day All-Pro Championship in Las Vegas, where he carded a respectable third place finish.
