S E19: Is Golf the Next Asset Class? | PE Guy + The LPGA’s Global Rise

What happens when private equity culture meets the business of golf?

In this YouTube-exclusive episode of The Big Swing with Jimmy Roberts, Jimmy sits down with the internet’s favorite finance bro caricature: PE Guy, the satirical character created by content creator Johnny Hilbrant Partridge.

Known across Instagram and TikTok for his sharp parody of private equity culture — complete with Harvard credentials, Palm Beach properties, and plenty of “deal flow” — PE Guy brings his over-the-top financial perspective to the economics of golf.

During the interview, PE Guy breaks down:

• Why golf might be the ultimate “asset class”

• The economics of exclusive golf clubs and tee times

• How private equity thinks about sports industries

• The monetization layers behind modern golf

• Whether youth golf could become the next big investment opportunity

After the interview, Jimmy is joined by Mollie Cahillane for a deeper look at what’s happening across the golf industry right now.

They discuss:

• The global growth of the LPGA and record purses in Asia

• Why LPGA viewership internationally can rival major PGA Tour events

• New broadcast deals and the rise in digital golf consumption

• What recent equipment earnings from major manufacturers say about the state of the golf economy

This episode blends satire, business insight, and real industry analysis — exactly the conversations that define The Big Swing.
