Fore Play has officially turned putting-only courses into a recurring bit, and honestly, it rules. After previous indoor putting runs went over big with the audience, the crew is back at it in North Scottsdale, with Riggs in the chair and TaylorMade footing the bill. 18 holes, flatstick only, scoreboard rolling the whole time.
The official drop of the new episode, with the on-screen score graphics teasing how the round went.
The teaser flashes 'E AFTER 9' and 'E AFTER 16' on screen, which is the kind of subtle flex that tells you Riggs came to play. Even par through 16 on a designed-to-be-tricky putting course is no joke, and the fact that they're showing the running total at all means the back end probably has some teeth. If you've watched any of these the suspense is the whole appeal — you don't need a 7-iron to get invested when there's a number on the screen.

Putting World as a venue has quietly become a perfect Fore Play playground. It's golf stripped down to the part that actually decides scores, which means the talking-heads dynamic works without any of the dead air a real round produces. Pair it with a TaylorMade integration and a host who can actually putt, and you've got a format the crew can run in every market with a location. Scottsdale's the latest stop, and based on the scoreboard tease, it might be one of the better rounds they've posted.
