Where the market
meets the fairway.

Market Swings is eighteen holes, one guest, and the real conversation about money, risk, and the swings in between. Hosted by Josh Baylin.

The breakout episode

Inside a PGA Tour Pro’s Paycheck.

With Kevin Kisner · 4× PGA Tour winner · NBC analyst

Kisner walks through the math on a career that looks like $30 million on the leaderboard and reads like something else entirely on a tax return. Caddie, coach, putting coach, state taxes, federal. “I usually call it about 30%.”

The show

Most business shows happen in a studio. This one happens over eighteen holes.

Each episode puts one guest, a Tour veteran, a founder, a comedian, in front of Josh for a round of golf and a candid conversation about money, risk, and the decisions that define them.

The format works because golf disarms people. A bad drive on the first tee breaks the ice faster than any interviewer could. By the fourth hole, guests are talking about money, ambition, and failure in ways they never would across a table.

“The best conversations about money happen when nobody is trying to sound smart. On a golf course, nobody can.”

Every episode is built around a single business question: the real economics of pro golf, robots mowing fairways, the business of running a surf-shop dynasty. The round is how we get into it.
