  • WMO Week: Cover your Blindside | Aaron Goldberg | PGA Players' Podcast #9
    2021/02/01

    Waste Management Open week is unlike any other on tour. It brings with it all sorts of craziness: sometimes good sometimes bad. This is a good reminder that sometimes things go wrong off the golf course and can potentially have a major impact on your finances if not protected correctly.

    As an athlete you are a public figure and for all the good that brings, it can also be a target on your back. From minor car accidents, someone getting hurt on your property, to dog bites and parties, if someone sees an opportunity to sue, they will. Make sure you understand how to protect yourself from unforeseen liabilities and keep your personal assets and business assets separate so that you maintain proper protection.
