The footy gals’ bumpy road to Paris & a new golf tourney mixes it up

December 07, 2023

Happy tiny Friday!

On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz start on the international women’s soccer pitch, where the drama has been kicking as two of the world’s Top 4 teams failed to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics over the last week.

Then after the break, the gals swing through the shiny new Grant Thornton Invitational golf tournament, a first-of-its-kind mixed tourney that pairs LPGA and PGA stars together. Stick with El and Steph for everything you need to know on and off the links before the competition tees off tomorrow.
