"He is iconic" - Paul George reveals his dream non-NBA guest on podcast after his newfound love for Golf
Paul George and his show ‘Podcast P with Paul George’ has seen a lot of guests since it was launched in 2023. One of the reasons that PG’s podcast has been so popular is because of the diversity of guests on his show. Now, the LA Clippers star has a non-NBA icon in his dream guest list.
Paul George is Boardroom’s June Cover Star. He sat with Boardroom to discuss the success of his podcast since the last year. Apart from his love for the podcast, PG has also developed a new love for golf. He said that he would want to bring golf GOAT Tiger Woods on his podcast one day.
“I would love to sit and have Tiger Woods come in. I recently got into golf, I love golfing now and so will definitely love to just have a conversation with him you know because he is iconic. He’s been through a lot, he’s seen a lot. There’s far more ups and downs and I think that should be celebrated and highlighted,” the Clippers star said.
