Trent's white whale is 85. Not breaking 90, not breaking 100 — 85, the number that's turned into a running bit on Fore Play and, at this point, a genuine personal crisis for the guy. Every attempt has ended the same way: close, but no cigar. So this time the pod did what any reasonable golf show would do when the stakes get desperate. They brought in a real PGA Tour player to fix him.
The promo clip shows Trent and the crew filming on the tee box before Kevin Kisner steps in to help with the round.
That pro is Kevin Kisner, or 'Kiz' as he's known around Fore Play, and he's not some random scratch golfer roped in for a bit. Kisner has 4 PGA Tour wins, most recently the 2021 Wyndham Championship, and these days splits his time between calling golf as NBC's lead analyst, playing in TGL, and hanging around Barstool's golf shows. Putting him on the bag for a guy who can't break 85 is a mismatch on paper — the whole appeal is watching a tour-level brain try to talk Trent off the ledge hole by hole.
And it started about as well as it possibly could. Trent opened with a tap-in par on the first hole with Kisner right there caddying, the kind of stress-free start that almost never happens for him. Fore Play's own account called it a 'dream start,' which says everything about how rare a clean hole is for this guy.
Trent taps in for par on the first hole with Kisner alongside him, the round's opening highlight.
Then golf did what golf does. On the second hole, the good vibes evaporated. Fore Play's account put it bluntly: 'the golf gods giveth, and the golf gods taketh away,' with an on-screen graphic confirming Trent had run into a brutal break right after that promising start. It's the exact pattern that's derailed every one of these attempts before — one good swing followed by the sport reminding him who's actually in charge.
Trent and Kisner walk the course after the tap-in par on 1 turns into a rough break on the very next hole.
Riggs summed up the whole appeal of the episode with one question: does Kiz actually have the magic touch, or is this just another Break 85 attempt destined to collapse under its own weight? Bringing in a tour pro raises the ceiling on the story either way — if Trent finally does it with Kisner on the bag, it's the payoff to a running bit years in the making. If he still can't get there with a 4-time PGA Tour winner literally reading his putts, that's arguably even funnier, and vintage Fore Play.
