On this episode of Next on the Tee, I’m joined by PGA Tour legend John Cook and Arnie’s Wellness Founder Garrett Perdue for a powerful mix of golf tips, PGA Tour insights, and golf health advice.
John Cook shares a great new device that he and Bob Papa came up with that will help you with a quick warm-up routine for when you’re short on time, plus simple keys to stay on plane, square the clubface, and hit the ball straighter and farther. It can also help golfers over 50 looking to improve flexibility and shoulder turn. Cookie and I also dive into The Players Championship, whether it should be the “5th major,” and his unforgettable experiences at The Masters, including the Crow’s Nest and the time that officials at Augusta National chased Ken Venturi off the course for walking with him.
Then, Garrett Perdue joins me to talk about Arnie’s Wellness, a line of natural, organic skincare and sun protection products inspired by Arnold Palmer. If you’re tired of chemical-heavy products, Garrett shares a better way to protect your skin on the course while supporting the Arnie & Winnie Palmer Foundation off it.
If you’re looking for golf instruction, golf wellness tips, and great stories from the game’s legends, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Meet the Host
I’m Chris Mascaro, who is blessed to be the award-winning host and creator of Next on the Tee. The heart of the show is a deep gratitude for my guests who share great stories, and a genuine love for the game of golf. Each week, I’m fortunate to sit down with golf legends, major champions, top instructors, broadcasters, caddies, and storytellers who are kind enough to share their time, insights, and experiences with all of us.
I believe golf is at its best when it brings people together. My goal with every episode is to go beyond the leaderboard and the swing tips, and instead focus on the stories, lessons, and moments that stay with us—both on and off the course. I want listeners to enjoy the game more, think about it a little differently, and feel connected to the people who have shaped it.
Next on the Tee has been honored with multiple industry awards, including w3, Davey, and Communicator Awards, and I’m incredibly grateful for that recognition. Even more meaningful to me is the community that’s grown around the show—“Next on the Tee Nation.” I never take for granted that you choose to spend your time here, and I’m thankful every time you press play.
At the end of the day, I approach each episode with humility, curiosity, and appreciation—for the guests who trust me with their stories, and for the listeners who continue to take the journey with me.
